Chapter 42: Celestial Master Descends the Mountain

Under Qing Ping's whispered explanation,

And after Cangqing Immortal Master nodded in affirmation,

Daoist Changqing finally believed that Lin Yuan had already become the Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence.

To be precise, the thirty-seventh-generation Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters Residence.

The thirty-sixth-generation Celestial Master was already a matter from five hundred years ago.

"How unpredictable the ways of the world are."

Daoist Changqing wore a gratified expression, with a slight flash of complexity.

Before he fell unconscious, the Celestial Masters Residence was joining hands with other Righteous Path forces, desperately suppressing the expansion of the Demonic Path such as the Wanmo Sect.

Not to say the situation between both sides was balanced, but the Celestial Masters Residence side did not hold any advantage.

Only now.

Lin Yuan, whom he had watched grow up since childhood, had become the Celestial Master and directly massacred through the Wanmo Sect; the blood belonging to the people of the Demonic Path at the foot of Longhu Mountain was still warm.

Such a reversed situation made Daoist Changqing deeply emotional.

Next.

Lin Yuan checked Daoist Changqing's body several times again, and after confirming that there was no Devilish Qi remaining,

He stood up and took his leave.

Daoist Changqing walked to the door of the Taoist courtyard, looking at Lin Yuan's receding back, his mouth twitched, "Brother Zhang, your son, your son has become the invincible Celestial Master under heaven."

Zhenwu Taoist Scripture Repository.

Lin Yuan returned here once more.

This place was originally where past Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Residence secluded themselves to Cultivate.

Only in an era without a Celestial Master would it become a place of comprehension for Celestial Master seeds and Celestial Phenomenon Realm seeds.

"Celestial Master."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Carefully experiencing his own power.

After becoming the Celestial Master, Lin Yuan rushed over at the first instance to resolve the Wanmo Sect.

Then he went to treat Daoist Changqing, so that only now did he have time to feel the power of the Celestial Master.

First was Lifespan; taking Taiyin Infinite and Taiyang Infinite power as the Foundation, after becoming the Celestial Master, Lin Yuan vaguely felt that his Lifespan had skyrocketed to five hundred years.

You must know that the Lifespan of past Celestial Masters was only around two hundred years.

Lin Yuan's Lifespan was more than double that of past Celestial Masters.

Balancing Taiyin and Taiyang was indeed much stronger than Celestial Masters who solely walked the path of Taiyin or Taiyang.

This point was fully embodied not only in combat power but also in Lifespan.

"Five hundred years!"

Lin Yuan's mind shook.

You must know that these five hundred years were the base Lifespan.

That is to say, without any external objects aiding him, Lin Yuan could live for five hundred years.

If he returned to the Cosmic Human Alliance, combined with various cutting-edge biotechnology, Lin Yuan estimated he could live for more than two thousand years.

The essence of the Lifespan limit stems from the failure of various organs, but in the Cosmic Human Alliance, one could completely Cultivate new organs to replace decayed old organs.

This was also the reason why ranked Evolvers could easily live for four to five hundred years.

Of course, replacing organs could only prolong life; as time passed, the living being's Soul consciousness would gradually weaken. By then, no matter how many organs were replaced, it would be of no use.

However, Soul consciousness depends on the strength of the Realm; the stronger the living being, the stronger its consciousness naturally is.

"My current strength, based on the Human Alliance's rank division, is roughly equivalent to Tier 2, Stage 9."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In this world's Cultivation system, the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is roughly equivalent to a Tier 2 Evolver of the Human Alliance.

Specifically belonging to Tier 2, Stage 1 to Stage 2.

As for the Celestial Master, it is between Tier 2, Stage 4 to Stage 6.

Lin Yuan stepped into the Celestial Master Realm with Taiyin and Taiyang as his Foundation, and his strength far exceeded past Celestial Masters, which is why he was at Tier 2, Stage 9.

Do not underestimate the gap of just a few stages; the Cosmic Human Alliance's division of ranks is extremely standardized. Even with a difference of one stage, the internal energy magnitude has nearly a twofold gap.

"There are still sixty-one years of residency time remaining."

Lin Yuan glanced at the illusory text below his line of sight.

[Name: Zhang Shanfeng (Lin Yuan)]

[Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms]

[Bound Talent: Heaven-Defying Comprehension]

[Current Status: Consciousness Descent]

[Remaining Residency Time: Sixty years and eleven months]

During this traversal, Lin Yuan's residency time reached eighty years.

Excluding the initial ten years, and the nine-plus years of becoming a Celestial Master seed.

A total of nineteen years and one month had passed.

"There is still plenty of time."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Compared to the first traversal where the residency time was only twenty years, the residency time for this traversal was obviously much more relaxed.

"Perhaps, as my strength increases, the residency time for each traversal will be extended?"

Lin Yuan guessed in his heart.

After experiencing himself, Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly.

The Zhenwu Sword suspended in the air, stopping in front of Lin Yuan.

"Go back."

Lin Yuan reached out to stroke the hilt of the sword, saying softly.

After stepping into the Celestial Master level, the Taiyin and Taiyang power inside the True Martial Sword had basically no help to Lin Yuan.

Therefore, Lin Yuan planned to directly let it return to the Sword Tomb and continue sleeping.

"Go."

Lin Yuan patted the hilt of the sword, and with a 'swish', the Zhenwu Sword turned into a stream of sword light, returning once more into the Sword Tomb.

Not long after sending away the Zhenwu Sword,

Cangqing Immortal Master respectfully walked in.

"Celestial Master."

Cangqing Immortal Master inquired: "I wonder how the Celestial Master Sword should be forged, and what requirements does the Celestial Master have?"

Past Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Residence would all possess a Celestial Master Sword of their own.

The Celestial Master Sword was also a symbol of past Celestial Masters; even if the Celestial Master passed away, the left-behind Celestial Master Sword could still replace this Celestial Master.

During the Sword Tomb trip of the Celestial Masters Residence once every twenty years, occasionally a certain generation of Celestial Master's Celestial Master Sword would fly out.

Disciples recognized by the Celestial Master Sword would be cultivated with all-out effort by the Celestial Masters Residence.

"Celestial Master Sword"

Lin Yuan fell into brief contemplation.

He didn't have any special requirements for his own Celestial Master Sword; as long as it had the shape of a normal sword, it would do.

"Is there any need to engrave something on the hilt and the sword body?"

Cangqing Immortal Master reminded.

Generally speaking, past Celestial Masters would engrave their own titles on the Celestial Master Sword.

The title here can be words, patterns, or even a painting.

Anyway, the sword smiths of the Celestial Masters Residence possessed exquisite craftsmanship, so these were not a problem.

"Engrave."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said: "My name is Shanfeng, so since that's the case, let's engrave a Mountain Peak on the Celestial Master Sword."

"No problem."

Cangqing Immortal Master readily agreed.

This was not a difficult matter.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something.

The name Zhang Shanfeng was given to him by his parents.

At the very beginning, they wanted him to be like a Mountain Peak, sheltering the entire Zhang Family Fort.

It was just a pity that by this time, Lin Yuan's parents had been dead for nearly twenty years.

"Let's add two more Mountain Peaks."

Lin Yuan changed his thought, "Engrave three Mountain Peaks on the Celestial Master Sword."

"Three Mountain Peaks?"

Cangqing Immortal Master was slightly stunned.

"Three Peaks?"

A few days later.

The sword smiths of the Celestial Masters Residence presented the forged Celestial Master Sword.

To be able to have such speed was because every generation of the Celestial Masters Residence would have their own sword smiths forge the sword embryo of the Celestial Master Sword in advance.

As long as a Celestial Master was born, a complete Celestial Master Sword could be forged in the shortest possible time.

"Indeed a good sword."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the 'three Mountain Peaks' on the sword body.

Of course, the good sword in Lin Yuan's mouth was relative to mundane sword weapons.

The most special thing about past Celestial Master Swords was that they were nurtured by the Celestial Master for a long time, leading to the birth of a certain degree of spirituality.

Even inside the Celestial Master Sword, the power left by the corresponding Celestial Master remained, and future Disciples could hope to draw out this power to fight the enemy.

When Cangqing Immortal Master fought to the death with the Sect Leader of the Myriad Demons Sect, he utilized the Celestial Master's power left inside the Celestial Master Sword.

"It is almost time to descend the mountain."

Lin Yuan picked up his own Celestial Master Sword, left the Zhenwu Taoist Scripture Repository, and walked down Longhu Mountain.

Twenty years ago Zhang Family Fort was destroyed, several years ago Daoist Changqing was infused with Devilish Qi, and not long ago the Wanmo Sect besieged Longhu Mountain.

Old and new grudges could not be pacified just by Lin Yuan killing the Sect Leader of the Myriad Demons Sect and thousands of demonic beings.
