Chapter 264: A Long Three Hundred Years 2 (The title of the previous chapter was wrong, but the content was unaffected)

"This is actually a form of Cosmic Power?"

Lin Yuan observed it repeatedly and finally came to a conclusion.

The Congenital Purple Qi mastered by the Purple-robed Old Man, if placed in the Main World, was a form of Cosmic Power that only Eighth Order Invincibles could master.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment, sudden realization dawning upon him.

No wonder the Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm could rival the Eighth-Order Evolvers of the Main World even without the support of an Internal World.

The World Power extending from an Eighth-Order Evolver's Internal World allowed Human Evolvers to catch up with those special life forms that were innately powerful.

Very few powers at the same level could compare to the boost World Power gave to Evolvers.

But Cosmic Power was definitely one of them.

In fact, the surge in combat power caused by Cosmic Power was even greater than that of World Power.

The Purple-robed Old Man had only mastered part of the power of his Congenital Purple Qi. Once fully mastered to Perfection, even without World Power, he could rival a Peak Eighth-Order Evolver.

"Those Supreme Immortal Kings have no Internal World, yet they can rival Eighth Order Invincibles. The Creation Power they master must belong to high-tier Cosmic Power."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In the Main World, Eighth Order Invincibles also differed in strength. Although the strongest could not defeat the weakest, they could suppress them; the difference lay in the types of Cosmic Power they possessed.

Some Cosmic Powers were simply stronger than others, and the former were known as high-tier Cosmic Powers.

"An Opportunity."

"This is the greatest Opportunity of my traversal!"

Lin Yuan's eyes shone brightly. What was the greatest help this eighth traversal had brought him?

Developing the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter?

No.

The Eighth Order Chapter could be created and perfected anywhere.

Even without traversing, back in the Main World, as long as Lin Yuan was given time, he could still create it all the same.

Comprehending the Space Rules models?

That was no different from developing the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter.

It didn't strictly require the Spirit Realm.

Before learning that the Creation Power mastered by the Immortal Kings was equivalent to Cosmic Power,

traversing to the Spirit Realm's greatest help to Lin Yuan was saving time and drawing inspiration from the Immortal Path cultivation system, as well as other cultivation systems.

But now…

After confirming the true nature of Creation Power,

Lin Yuan was completely certain that Creation Power was his greatest harvest.

It was an irreplaceable harvest.

In the Main World's Cosmic Starry Sky, every kind of Cosmic Power was unique, irreproducible, and impossible to simulate.

As long as an expert comprehended a specific Cosmic Power, subsequent life forms could no longer comprehend it.

This was a rule of the Main World.

The "rules" here did not refer to elemental rules like Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, or Light.

But rather the "restrictions" imposed by the Main World.

For instance, below the level of Supreme Powerhouse, all living beings had a maximum Lifespan limit.

That too was a Main World rule.

Also, in the Cosmic Starry Sky, the maximum speed was the speed of light; once exceeding it, one would enter a wormhole.

That was likewise a Main World rule.

"The Main World's 'restrictions' do not apply in the Spirit Realm. At least regarding Cosmic Power, the Spirit Realm is much more lenient; there is no rule stating that a specific Creation Power can only be mastered by a single Tribulation Transcending Immortal King."

Lin Yuan felt slightly excited. This meant that while in the Spirit Realm, he could thoroughly comprehend a vast amount of Creation Power.

Then upon returning to the Main World, all these Creation Powers would collectively transform into Cosmic Power.

Throughout the long history of the myriad races in the Main World's starry sky, many Eighth Order Invincibles had been born, but the vast majority of them only mastered a single Cosmic Power.

An extremely tiny minority, due to various coincidences, managed to master two types of Cosmic Power, which was already the limit.

For normal Eighth-Order Experts, there were two goals: one was stepping into the Ninth Order, or mastering a type of Cosmic Power.

But for Eighth Order Invincibles, there was only one goal: to step into the Ninth Order.

Only by breaking through to the Ninth Order could their Lifespan be extended. As for continuing to comprehend other Cosmic Powers—setting aside whether it was foolish—could they even comprehend them?

The comprehension of every Cosmic Power involved luck and had no fixed direction. How could one ensure the direction they chose to comprehend would definitely yield Cosmic Power?

This was precisely why Lin Yuan was so excited.

If he hadn't discovered the nature of Creation Power, even if he knew the Spirit Realm had fewer restrictions on Cosmic Power,

he wouldn't have had any special ideas.

Comprehend more Cosmic Powers? One must know that before fully comprehending the Sun Rule and Tai Yin Rule, Lin Yuan didn't even know that Taiji Power would turn out to be a Cosmic Power.

Even with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, trying to comprehend the next Cosmic Power blindly would waste a tremendous amount of time, causing Lin Yuan's progress in other areas to slow down or stall.

But now…

With explicit Creation Powers available for comprehension, Lin Yuan only needed to spend time comprehending them, just like studying an evolution pathway.

Comprehending a Creation Power fully in the Spirit Realm would become a unique Cosmic Power upon returning to the Main World.

"Congenital Purple Qi… Among Human Civilization's historical records of numerous Eighth Order Invincibles, none mastered this particular Cosmic Power."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Of course, it was also possible that an unrecorded Eighth Order Invincible had mastered Congenital Purple Qi.

But the probability was low. Furthermore, Lin Yuan definitely didn't plan to comprehend only Congenital Purple Qi; he intended to go through all the Creation Powers mastered by other Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings.

"Human Civilization's explanation of Cosmic Power is that it provides great assistance for stepping into the Ninth Order in the future. Theoretically, the more Cosmic Powers one masters, the greater the assistance, but they didn't elaborate much because, in the end, it's just theoretical."

Lin Yuan thought quietly to himself.

For a normal Eighth-Order Evolver, no matter how brilliantly talented, mastering one Cosmic Power was usually the limit, at most two. As for more?

It had simply never happened.

Because it was unrealistic.

"Fully comprehending a Creation Power is extremely difficult for other Immortal Kings. Rather than spending that time, it's better for them to deepen their comprehension of the Creation Power they already master. But I have Heaven-Defying Comprehension, so it's merely a matter of time."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

He could already imagine that when he returned to the Main World, mastering dozens of Cosmic Powers, coupled with the boost from his massive Internal World that far exceeded the shackles of Human Evolvers,

he might even have a chance to measure up against Ninth-Order powerhouses.

In history, even the strongest Eighth Order Invincible could at most save their life against a Ninth-Order powerhouse. As for testing strength against them?

That was seeking death.

Because the way an Eighth Order Invincible survived against a Ninth-Order powerhouse was to hold out long enough without dying, waiting for rescue from a Ninth-Order powerhouse of their own race.

Under normal circumstances, an Eighth Order Invincible had almost no ability to fight back in front of a Ninth Order.

"I'll fully comprehend this strand of Congenital Purple Qi first." Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts and began carefully observing the strand of purple qi before him.

[With your Heaven-Defying Comprehension, you observe the mysterious aura and begin attempting to fully comprehend it.]

[With your Heaven-Defying Comprehension, you observe the mysterious aura and begin attempting to fully comprehend it.]

[With your Heaven-Defying Comprehension, you observe the mysterious aura and begin attempting to fully comprehend it.]

According to Lin Yuan's perception of Congenital Purple Qi, this kind of Cosmic Power was only ordinary Cosmic Power, unable to compare with high-tier Cosmic Power.

The Taiji Power he mastered should be considered a high-tier Cosmic Power, accommodating two extreme rules simultaneously, nearly perfect in both offense and defense.

Xiaoyao City.

As an ordinary city in the Profound King Domain, a massive number of True Immortal-level powerhouses, and even Half-Step Immortal King-level powerhouses, had recently come visiting out of admiration, seeking an audience with the Martial Ancestor.

Whenever traces of a Tribulation Transcending Immortal King appeared, it would attract many powerhouses to gather; regardless of whether they could meet the Immortal King, getting closer was the priority.

Many Peak True Immortals and Half-Step Immortal King-level powerhouses had been trapped at their current Bottleneck for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, making seclusion cultivation largely pointless.

Rather than wandering aimlessly, it was better to try looking for traces of Immortal Kings.

In any case, there was nothing to lose. If they gained some inspiration, it would naturally be a joyous outcome; if not, it was within expectations.

Precisely because of this,

current Xiaoyao City gathered a vast number of True Immortals and Half-Step Immortal Kings. An ordinary cultivator walking down the street might randomly run into a famous Half-Step Immortal King.

Moreover, these True Immortals and Half-Step Immortal Kings maintained an extremely low profile in Xiaoyao City. After all, they were under the nose of an Immortal King, so no expert dared to cause trouble.

The entrance to the Martial Temple.

Three figures walked out.

"So many True Immortals…"

"I've never seen so many True Immortals in my entire life."

Jun Haiqiu and the other two juniors of the Jun Family widened their eyes, gazing at the immeasurably profound auras within Xiaoyao City.

As one of the three major giants of the Profound King Domain, the Moral Immortal Sect only had several dozen True Immortals presiding, but right now, there were estimated to be hundreds of thousands of True Immortals in Xiaoyao City.

And this didn't even include those Half-Step Immortal Kings.

Furthermore, as time passed, more and more True Immortals and Half-Step Immortal Kings were rushing over.

"A major domain like the Profound King Domain usually has several hundred True Immortal-level Experts, and the Profound King Domain is merely one of the thousands of major domains in the East Cloud Dao Province. Old Ancestor Wuji, as an Immortal King, has attracted the attention of True Immortals from dozens to hundreds of surrounding Dao Provinces."

"What are hundreds of thousands of True Immortals? The number of True Immortals to come will probably exceed a million."

Jun Nangong said in a low voice.

"A million True Immortals…"

Jun Yunxun swallowed her saliva.

"If not for Old Ancestor Wuji, how could we possibly be standing here right now?" Jun Haiqiu said with deep emotion.

They had come to pay their respects to the Martial Ancestor and quickly met Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had allowed them to stay in the Martial Temple for a period, planning to give them some guidance when he had time.

That was why the three of them could swagger in and out of the Martial Temple.

Such treatment was bound to make those Half-Step Immortal King Experts outside turn red with envy.

Being able to freely enter and exit the Martial Temple was equivalent to sensing the Martial Ancestor's aura at close range. What a magnificent honor that was! For those Half-Step Immortal Kings, constantly remaining by an Immortal King's side was an even greater Opportunity.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Orange-yellow flames continually burned inside his body.

Without knowing how much time had passed, Lin Yuan's Physical Body began to collapse, turning to ashes and falling away.

In an instant, Rebirth from a Drop of Blood activated, and Lin Yuan's Physical Body rapidly recovered, returning once again.

"I can feel that I've almost completely absorbed the orange-yellow liquid." Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, sensing the enhancement to his Physical Body and Internal World.

Right now, Lin Yuan's Internal World was a full 6.5 times larger compared to normal Eighth-Order Evolvers.

Excluding the 3.33-fold boost from the crimson-red liquid, the orange-yellow liquid had granted Lin Yuan a 3.2-fold enhancement.

This was already extremely close to the upper limit of complete absorption for the orange-yellow liquid—3.33 times.

"I should be reaching the third type of liquid soon…"

Lin Yuan thought quietly to himself.

"However, during the process of absorbing the first two liquids, it was also a form of training and improvement for my Divine Ability, 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'?"

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

As a physical Divine Ability, the blood-rebirth Divine Ability could also be strengthened, though the speed of enhancement was usually extremely slow. But after thousands and tens of thousands of times experiencing physical collapse from absorbing the liquid inside the Mysterious Gourd and then recovering repeatedly, it naturally strengthened the Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

"This is a good thing; it saves me from having to go through it all over again after returning to the Main World."

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

In the Spirit Realm, it took Lin Yuan a full century to completely absorb the orange-yellow liquid.

But with this century of strengthening his physical Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood', once back in the Main World, Lin Yuan would at most need a few days or a few dozen days to completely absorb the orange-yellow liquid.

Because Lin Yuan's comprehension of the physical Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood' had greatly increased, allowing him to endure the burning of the orange-yellow flames for much longer, and the same would apply in the Main World.

Nine Heavens.

Seventh Heaven.

The Taiji Primordial Spirit climbed up and scanned the surroundings.

"Let's check the Seventh Heaven first to see if I can meet any Immortal Kings." After learning that the Creation Power mastered by Immortal Kings was equivalent to the Main World's Cosmic Power,

Lin Yuan felt great enthusiasm for finding other Immortal King-level powerhouses.

Especially entities at the level of Supreme Immortal King; the Creation Power they mastered might be equivalent to high-tier Cosmic Power.

Comprehending a high-tier Cosmic Power would provide Lin Yuan with more than ten times the assistance compared to an ordinary Cosmic Power after he stepped into the Ninth Order in the future.

With limited time, Lin Yuan naturally prioritized comprehending high-tier Cosmic Powers.

"This heaven…"

Lin Yuan released his perception, letting it spread outward as far as possible in all directions.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up; he detected the aura of an Immortal King.

Swish.

Lin Yuan flew straight toward that Immortal King.

A moment later,

Lin Yuan stopped.

Looking ahead,

he saw a burly and imposing figure standing ahead, carefully observing a spectacle resembling a 'black hole' in the distance.

"This is?"

Lin Yuan observed the burly, imposing figure. Carrying a massive axe on his back, even just sitting there, the aura emanating from the axe seemed capable of cleaving endless worlds open.

"Is this Opening Heaven Immortal King? Is the Creation Power he masters 'Opening Heaven Power'?"

Lin Yuan felt a slight jolt in his spirit. Among the information given to him by the Purple-robed Old Man, Opening Heaven Immortal King's offensive power ranked among the top three among Supreme Immortal Kings of this epoch, and the Opening Heaven Power he mastered could almost cleave everything apart.

"Hmm?"

Sensing someone watching him, the burly Opening Heaven Immortal King glanced at Lin Yuan.

"Opening Heaven Immortal King." Lin Yuan walked over with a smile.

A moment later,

Lin Yuan collected a strand of Opening Heaven Power and left satisfied.

As fellow Supreme Immortal Kings, after showing goodwill, asking the other party for a strand of Opening Heaven Power to study was not a difficult matter.

Of course, Lin Yuan also gave his Taiji Power to the other party as an exchange.

Taiji Power was a Creation Power that had never appeared in the Spirit Realm. Opening Heaven Immortal King was very curious and readily agreed.

Just like that,

Lin Yuan's Taiji Primordial Spirit remained stationed in the Seventh Heaven, studying the Creation Powers of numerous Immortal Kings.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years passed.
