Chapter 265: The Temptation of the Ninth Heaven

Chapter 265: The Temptation of the Ninth Heaven (Please Subscribe)

The Seventh Heaven was filled with 'wonders', and a figure descended.

"Arrived." Lin Yuan looked with a smile at an Immortal King sitting cross-legged in the distance. This Immortal King sat there quietly, and the surrounding Void Realm was influenced by an invisible force, becoming extraordinarily stable to the point that ordinary people could survive there.

One had to know that even the First Heaven required at least True Immortal Rank combat power to enter.

Life forms below the True Immortal Rank who rashly climbed without the protection of True Immortal Rank Experts could not withstand the pressure between the Heavens at all.

Even the First Heaven was like this.

Let alone the Seventh Heaven.

Normally speaking, only a Supreme Immortal King could permanently reside in the Seventh Heaven.

"Supreme Immortal King." Lin Yuan carefully observed that Immortal King. "One of the most famous Immortal Kings in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces."

The Supreme Immortal King was a Supreme Immortal King. Among the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, there was a Dao Province named Taishang Dao Province, which was the place where the Supreme Immortal King passed down his orthodoxy.

Lin Yuan had previously instructed the people of the Martial Temple to collect many Immortal Dao Cultivation Techniques, among which was the 'Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Sutra', which was created by the Supreme Immortal King and intentionally spread out.

"In terms of killing power, the Supreme Immortal King is inferior to the Opening Heaven Immortal King, but in terms of overall strength, the two should be at the same level," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Among Supreme Immortal Kings, there were also differences in strength. The complete Creation Power mastered by some Supreme Immortal Kings was simply stronger than that of other Supreme Immortal Kings, and some Supreme Immortal Kings had even mastered several complete Creation Powers.

Compared to the Eighth Order Invincibles in the Main World who had Lifespan limits, the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm could almost be said to coexist with the Spirit Realm, having plenty of time to comprehend various Creation Powers.

"Martial Ancestor." The Supreme Immortal King opened his eyes, looked towards Lin Yuan, and greeted him with a beam.

Over the past three hundred years, although Lin Yuan had not officially taken action,

with the perception of a Supreme Immortal King, basically all of them realized that Lin Yuan's strength was unfathomable.

Therefore, whether it was the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Supreme Immortal King, or other Supreme Immortal Kings, all were happy to make friends with Lin Yuan.

Over these years, Lin Yuan had befriended quite a few Supreme Immortal Kings. Those able to stay in the Seventh Heaven were all Supreme Immortal Kings, and Lin Yuan actively approached whenever he saw one to converse with them.

Attempting to trade for the Creation Power they possessed.

"Opening Heaven asked me to ask you, how are your preparations coming along?" Lin Yuan looked at the Supreme Immortal King and said.

"I am already prepared." The Supreme Immortal King's face turned solemn, and he said seriously, "Those old fellows and old immortals from the Prehistoric Era have occupied the Eighth Heaven for so long; it's about time they made room."

For ordinary Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings like the Purple-robed Old Man, it was difficult to come into contact with matters related to the Prehistoric Era.

But in the eyes of Supreme Immortal Kings, the Prehistoric Era was no secret.

Ever since the end of the Prehistoric Era and the beginning of the Three Thousand Daozhou Era, those Supreme Immortal Kings who survived from the Prehistoric Era occupied the Eighth Heaven.

And they forbade any Supreme Immortal Kings born in the Three Thousand Daozhou Era from going up.

Therefore, all along, Supreme Immortal Kings born in the Three Thousand Daozhou Era, like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Supreme Immortal King, continuously attempted to charge up to the Eighth Heaven.

In order to explore the Ninth Heaven.

Whether in the Prehistoric Era or the Three Thousand Daozhou Era, all Supreme Immortal Kings were clear about one thing.

That was, the Ninth Heaven held a monumental secret.

Beyond men there are men, beyond heavens there are heavens, and above the Nine Heavens there are heavenly beings.

This saying was no rumor.

The 'heavenly beings' here were rumored to possibly be existences surpassing the level of Immortal Kings.

The end of the Prehistoric Era was also related to the Ninth Heaven.

All Supreme Immortal Kings were incomparably eager for the Ninth Heaven.

It was just that currently, the Eighth Heaven leading to the Ninth Heaven was occupied by those Supreme Immortal Kings of the Prehistoric Era. How could the Supreme Immortal Kings born in the Three Thousand Daozhou Era just stand by and watch?

Thus, for millions of years, every few hundred thousand years, the Opening Heaven Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings would attempt to attack and enter the Eighth Heaven.

And just now, the 'preparations' Lin Yuan spoke of referred to the preparations of the Opening Heaven Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings to launch another attack toward the Eighth Heaven.

Of course, so far, those Supreme Immortal Kings from the Prehistoric Era still held the advantage, and every previous plan of the Opening Heaven Immortal King and other Supreme Immortal Kings to attack the Eighth Heaven had failed.

"Prehistoric Era."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The reason he joined the Supreme Immortal Kings like Opening Heaven Immortal King and Supreme Immortal King was not merely for the Ninth Heaven.

He was interested even more in the Creation Powers mastered by those Supreme Immortal Kings of the Prehistoric Era.

Over the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had gathered a strand of Creation Power mastered by almost all Supreme Immortal Kings of the current era.

However, he had hardly had any contact with those Supreme Immortal Kings of the Prehistoric Era.

Leaving the Supreme Immortal King, Lin Yuan returned to his 'residence' in the Seventh Heaven.

"In these three hundred years, my progress has been huge." Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. Especially in the comprehension of Cosmic Power, having the Creation Power of various Supreme Immortal Kings as reference,

in just three short hundred years, Lin Yuan had comprehended over thirty types of Cosmic Power.

Among them, a total of four could be considered high-level Cosmic Powers.

Opening Heaven Power, Destruction Power, Limitless Power, and Balance Power.

As for ordinary Cosmic Powers, there were nearly thirty types: Congenital Purple Qi, Infinite Severance, Wave Domain, Supreme Yang Lightning, and so on.

Of course, Lin Yuan had only initially comprehended these Cosmic Powers and had not deeply comprehended them.

According to the division by the Supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm, each type of Creation Power could be divided into three levels: First Realm, Second Stage, and Third Realm.

Lin Yuan only comprehended up to the First Realm before stopping his comprehension and turning to comprehend new Creation Powers.

This was also the method to maximize efficiency: first comprehending these Creation Powers, then bringing them to the Main World to convert them into Cosmic Powers before anything else.

Although he possessed the world coordinates of the Spirit Realm and Lin Yuan could descend into this realm again at any time, paying ten strands of Boundary-Breaking Source Power still called for caution.

"In fact, ordinary Creation Power is merely a part of high-level Creation Power," Lin Yuan said with a thoughtful expression.

Although the dozens of Creation Powers he comprehended were merely at the First Realm level, they involved four types of high-level Creation Power.

Taking Limitless Power, a high-level Creation Power, as an example, it encompassed various ordinary Creation Powers, among which were Congenital Purple Qi, Wave Domain, and so on.

Infinite Severance was also a facet of the high-level Creation Power, Opening Heaven Power.

"Unfortunately, not all Supreme Immortal Kings master high-level Creation Power. If an ordinary Creation Power can be cultivated to the Third Realm, it approaches the Second Stage of high-level Creation Power."

Lin Yuan thought silently to himself. Most Creation Immortal Kings who mastered several ordinary Creation Powers at the Third Realm were not much weaker in combat power than the Opening Heaven Immortal King.

Mainly because cultivating high-level Creation Power to the Third Realm was far too difficult; even the Opening Heaven Immortal King and Supreme Immortal King stopped at the Second Stage.

"The dozens of Creation Powers I master, even if they are all at the First Realm, when combined with each other, shouldn't be much weaker than the Third Realm of a high-level Creation Power, right?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

If he had solely comprehended one or two high-level Creation Powers, with Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension over three hundred years, he might have been able to Cultivate them to the Third Realm.

But this did not meet Lin Yuan's expectations. With so many Creation Powers in the Spirit Realm that would transform into Cosmic Powers upon bringing them back to the Main World, quantity was definitely more important than quality.

Quality could be raised after returning to the Main World, but if he was unsatisfied with the quantity, he would have to pay ten strands of Boundary-Breaking Source Power to descend to the Spirit Realm again.

Comprehending dozens of Creation Powers was merely a portion of Lin Yuan's gains from three hundred years of cultivation.

Lin Yuan's perfecting of the Martial Dao Eighth Order Chapter had also passed the third stage and entered the fourth stage.

In Lin Yuan's blueprint, the Eighth Order Chapter was divided into four stages, and reaching the fourth stage basically signaled the approaching end.

This was similar to the Eighth Order Chapters of many evolution paths in the Main World, which were only divided into four stages.

As for Eighth Order Invincibles who transcended the Eighth Order, in essence, they were also at the fourth stage, except that they had mastered some kind of Cosmic Power, making them non-replicable cases.

"Unfortunately, the Main World imposes great restrictions on Cosmic Power. My Taiji Power is a Cosmic Power; even if future Martial Dao cultivators follow in my footsteps step by step, it's impossible for them to evolve this kind of Cosmic Power again."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Of course, if Taiji Power wouldn't work, they could completely try other powers.

For instance, Five Elements Power: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, the Five Elements mutually generating and overcoming each other.

Once these five foundational rules were fully comprehended and the Five Elements Rules fused together, it would surely become another kind of Cosmic Power.

Martial Dao encompassed ten thousand Daos, and theoretically possessed the possibility of generating numerous Cosmic Powers.

"There are also the space rule models."

Space fluctuations faintly rippled deep within Lin Yuan's eyes.

Over three hundred years, Lin Yuan had already fully comprehended 4,600 core space models. Subtracting the 3,000 models comprehended three hundred years ago, Lin Yuan had comprehended over 1,600 models during these three hundred years.

One had to know that there were over 7,000 core space models in total, and the further one progressed, the greater the difficulty of comprehension. Under such circumstances, that Lin Yuan could still comprehend over 1,600 models was simply unbelievable.

"With 4,600 core space models, using an Eighth-Order Evolver from the Main World as a template, the Internal World should be about 6.8 million li in radius."

The more space models one fully comprehended, the larger the Internal World became. Theoretically, when an Eighth-Order Evolver fully comprehended 7,782 core space models, the size of their Internal World would reach 10 million li in radius.

"But that is the size of a normal Eighth-Order Evolver's Internal World… My Internal World's size…" A strange expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Augmented by the Mysterious Gourd, the size of Lin Yuan's Internal World reached nearly 70 million li in radius.

Such a colossal Internal World—let alone human Eighth-Order Evolvers—even special life forms with Peak lineages like the Star Sea Roaming Kun fell far short.

Theoretically, the upper limit of a Star Sea Roaming Kun's Internal World was 50 million li in radius, which was also why the Star Sea Roaming Kun was called a Peak lineage; its racial upper limit was five times that of humans.

Yet right now, Lin Yuan's Internal World exceeded even the upper limit of the Star Sea Roaming Kun's Internal World by a large margin, which was simply mind-boggling.

Most importantly, an Internal World with a radius of 70 million li was still far from Lin Yuan's upper limit.

"The gourd."

That his Internal World exceeded an Eighth-Order Evolver at the same level of spatial comprehension by tenfold was naturally because Lin Yuan's absorption of the liquids inside the Mysterious Gourd had reached the fourth type.

Among the seven types of liquid—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—Lin Yuan had already begun absorbing the green liquid.

The color of the Mysterious Gourd had also transformed into grey-green.

"The difficulty of absorbing the green liquid is far greater than the previous three types of liquid. I started absorbing this liquid twenty years ago, but up until now, the amplification to my Internal World and Physical Body is not even onefold."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He could predict that the further he went, the slower the absorption would be. Especially the cyan, blue, and purple liquids at the end; Lin Yuan even doubted whether they were meant for Eighth-Order life forms.

"Regardless, I've already made an incredible profit. Having ten times the size of an Internal World out of thin air—I estimate even a Supreme Powerhouse would find it unbelievable, right?"

Lin Yuan didn't know if a Supreme Powerhouse could accomplish this, but at least with his various identities as a Seven-Level Citizen, a Planet Master, and the founder of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Right now, the strength of this Taiji Primordial Spirit of mine is far weaker than my true main body…"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

If not for the Mysterious Gourd, the strength of the Taiji Primordial Spirit and his true main body wouldn't differ much.

The Cosmic Powers mastered by the main body, such as Taiji Power and Opening Heaven Power, could likewise be mastered by the Taiji Primordial Spirit.

In fact, due to being a Soul energy body, the Taiji Primordial Spirit was even more tricky to deal with.

But now…

Due to the gap in their Internal Worlds,

the Internal World opened up by the Taiji Primordial Spirit had a radius of only 6.8 million li.

Whereas the Internal World opened up by the true main body had reached 70 million li in radius.

Under a tenfold difference, the main body and the Primordial Spirit were simply not on the same level.

Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

Profound King Domain.

Martial Temple.

After three hundred years of development, today's Martial Temple had already become a giant behemoth in East Cloud Dao Province.

Its influence had transcended East Cloud Dao Province, spreading and expanding toward dozens and hundreds of nearby Dao Provinces.

The influence of the Martial Dao cultivation system, looking across the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces, might be inferior to the Immortal Dao, but in East Cloud Dao Province and the dozens of nearby Dao Provinces, its influence was undeniably in a class of its own.

Even the Immortal Dao could not suppress the Martial Dao in the slightest.

The reason was that the Martial Ancestor personally presided over the Martial Temple.

Over the past three hundred years, the Martial Ancestor had appeared several times to give lectures, expounding the essence of the Martial Dao for all living beings, guiding countless geniuses and prodigies onto the path of the Martial Dao.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"The current Martial Dao…" Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. After three hundred years of propagating the Martial Dao, today's Martial Dao cultivation system, while not necessarily side-by-side with the Immortal Dao,

was at least the single most powerful cultivation system beneath the Immortal Dao, bar none.

This was mainly because over the past three hundred years, occasionally other Tribulation Transcending Immortal Kings wished to visit Lin Yuan, but ended up like the Purple-robed Old Man: perceiving a portion of Lin Yuan's strength, they returned and commanded their disciples and junior generations not to oppose the Martial Temple.

As time went on, the influence of the Martial Dao grew larger and larger.

It could be predicted that as time passed, the Martial Dao was very likely to truly reach the heights of the Immortal Dao.

The only thing Lin Yuan was dissatisfied with was that up to now, no Eighth-Order powerhouse had yet emerged in the Martial Dao.

His several lectures had merely birthed a large number of Martial Dao Fifth Order and Sixth Order practitioners.

But an Eighth Order of the Martial Dao—that was, a Martial Dao powerhouse comparable to a Tribulation Transcending Immortal King—had yet to be born.
