Chapter 477 I Am the Martial Dao Ancestor

As early as several hundred years ago, Lin Yuan had already let his Taiyin Primordial Spirit lay out the plans for the spread of Martial Dao.

Of course, it was spread in secret, with the Taiyin Primordial Spirit at most pushing it along smoothly.

However, under the crushing momentum of the Immortal Dao cultivation system, the propagation effect of the Martial Dao Evolution Path was actually not affected.

After all, with the Immortal Path Ancestor ahead, sentient beings with conditions would definitely prioritize Immortal Dao.

As for Martial Dao?

Lin Yuan hid in the shadows, and since the Martial Dao cultivation system lacked Experts of a sufficient level to hold down the fort, even with its infinite potential, it was not the first choice.

"Just relying on hundreds of years of accumulation, spreading Martial Dao is still too slow."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

Being invincible oneself is not the same thing as spreading one's own cultivation system.

Unless Lin Yuan could permanently reside in the Immortal Realm and constantly monitor the development of the Immortal Realm, once he left, the development trend of Martial Dao could be suppressed at any time.

In the Boundless Void, Martial Dao was able to spread so rapidly entirely because of the hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation of the Azure Sky World.

And the Immortal Realm? The vastness of the Immortal Realm far exceeded the Boundless Void.

Before Lin Yuan descended, the Immortal Realm did not even have Martial Dao. Wanting to develop Martial Dao from scratch would not only consume energy, but also require a large amount of time to precipitate.

After all, not every Martial Dao cultivator was like Lin Yuan. No matter how brilliant and stunning a Martial Dao Genius was, it still required generations to have a chance of climbing the peak of Martial Dao.

"Actually, in the Immortal Realm, it is not completely without Martial Dao foundation."

Lin Yuan's heart suddenly stirred, his gaze shifting to look in a certain direction.

That was beneath the Immortal Realm, one of the three thousand three hundred and three-tenths Lower Realms, which was where the Spirit Realm was located.

When Lin Yuan's eighth traversal ended, he had basically allowed Martial Dao to take root and sprout in the Spirit Realm, leaving behind many backup plans to ensure the smooth development of Martial Dao.

The foundation of Martial Dao in the Spirit Realm came from the even lower Central Earth Divine Continent World. The Moral Immortal Sect had reached an agreement with Lin Yuan to protect Martial Dao during its weak period.

Thereafter, Martial Dao cultivators from the Central Earth Divine Continent World continuously entered the Spirit Realm through the Ascension Platform of the Moral Immortal Sect, joining the camp of the Moral Immortal Sect.

Until Lin Yuan's eighth traversal when he descended upon the Spirit Realm, at that time the Martial Dao cultivators had already formed a faction named 'Martial Temple'.

Calculating it based on the time flow rate ratio between the Spirit Realm and the Main Universe.

From when Lin Yuan ended his eighth traversal to now, a million years of time should have passed in the Spirit Realm.

"Now in the Spirit Realm, Martial Dao has developed quite well." Lin Yuan's gaze pierced through layers of space-time, roughly 'observing' the Spirit Realm once.

In fact, even without relying on the perception of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm to observe, Lin Yuan could still feel the vigorous development of the Martial Dao Evolution Path in the Spirit Realm.

As the Martial Dao Ancestor, no matter how far apart he was, Lin Yuan could still feel the 'fluorescent sparks' of the Martial Dao cultivators.

Today, within the Spirit Realm, over fifty percent of the area was spread with these 'fluorescent sparks'.

That is to say, the Martial Dao cultivation system in the Spirit Realm had already grown into a behemoth, capable of even suppressing the Immortal Dao cultivation system.

"It seems Li Qing and the others have done well."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly. Even though before his eighth traversal ended, he had forcefully cultivated his Disciple Li Qing to the height of the eighth-tier Martial Dao.

But the eighth-tier Martial Dao was only equivalent to the Tribulation Transcending Stage. The number of Tribulation Transcending Stage Experts in the Spirit Realm was not small. Even though Lin Yuan's remaining might still lingered, after being away for a long time, he still had to rely on Li Qing and the others to suppress things.

"If I guide the Martial Dao cultivators of the Spirit Realm up, it can indeed lower the difficulty of spreading Martial Dao in the Immortal Realm," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

For anything, starting from scratch is the most difficult.

Lin Yuan's Taiyin Primordial Spirit secretly pushed it for hundreds of years, yet there were only several hundred thousand cultivators of the Martial Dao cultivation system, and the strongest was only at the sixth-tier Martial Dao.

Whereas after a million years of development in the Spirit Realm, the number of eighth-tier Martial Dao cultivators exceeded a thousand, and seventh-tier Martial Dao and sixth-tier Martial Dao cultivators were countless.

"With my current attainment in space-time, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lin Yuan observed carefully for a moment and nodded slightly.

In fact, wanting to reach the Immortal Realm from the Spirit Realm had its methods and pathways.

That was to ascend to the Ninth Heaven of the Spirit Realm, and then fly upward along the Ninth Heaven. If one was lucky, they would enter the Immortal Realm.

But due to Lin Yuan's existence, the strongest life forms in the Spirit Realm became unprecedentedly powerful. Later generations of life forms, whether Immortal Dao cultivators or Martial Dao cultivators, could at most break through the eighth layer. Facing 'Lin Yuan' guarding the ninth layer, they were simply crushed.

Consequently, for a million years, not a single life form in the Spirit Realm reached the Immortal Realm.

"Let's begin."

Lin Yuan's heart moved slightly, splitting off a trace of mental will to break free from the Immortal Realm, continuously descending, and finally merging into the Spirit Realm.

Dao Ancestor-level Experts were able to roam outside the Immortal Realm in spirit. Both the Immortal Dao cultivation system of the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Dao cultivation system of the Central Earth Divine Continent originated from the Dao Ancestor's preaching of the Dao.

Although Lin Yuan had not reached the level of a Dao Ancestor, his perception of the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm allowed him to achieve a similar effect, and even surpass Dao Ancestors in certain aspects.

Spirit Realm.

Eighth Heaven.

Li Qing sat upright at the entrance leading to the Ninth Heaven.

"Even a million years have passed, compared to my teacher back then, I am still far inferior," Li Qing looked toward the entrance leading to the Ninth Heaven.

In a million years of time, she had long walked to the extreme of the eighth-tier Martial Dao, and the many secret techniques left behind by Lin Yuan back then had all been cultivated to Perfection.

Consequently, Li Qing's strength had already become the strongest in the Spirit Realm. Those ancient Tribulation Transcending Stage Experts from the previous epoch were no match for Li Qing either.

But the more it was like this, the more Li Qing could feel the gap between herself and her teacher. With her strength, she was already able to break through the eighth layer leading to the Ninth Heaven.

But when facing the ninth layer, which was the imprint left by 'Lin Yuan', she was still crushed.

"I wonder how Master is doing now? How is life in the Immortal Realm?" Li Qing could not help but feel a sense of nostalgia for Lin Yuan.

She was a Disciple accepted by Lin Yuan back when he was in the Central Earth Divine Continent World, and her reverence for Lin Yuan was also the deepest.

"Hmm?"

Just as Li Qing's thoughts were wandering.

Space-time fluctuations spread like ripples, and a majestic figure, as if crossing endless space-time, descended upon the Eighth Heaven.

Instinctive feelings of awe welled up in Li Qing's heart. She stared blankly at that majestic figure, her eye sockets starting to moisten uncontrollably, "Master."

"There is actually still rejection toward me." A trace of Lin Yuan's mental will descended upon the Spirit Realm, faintly sensing the 'terror' of the entire world.

But it was only 'terror'.

Even a trace of mental will, as long as Lin Yuan was willing, could easily destroy the entire Spirit Realm. Solely relying on his mastery of space-time, Lin Yuan could stir up an unprecedented space-time storm within the Spirit Realm.

Causing the entire world to step into collapse prematurely and enter the late stage of destruction.

Today's Spirit Realm, for Lin Yuan now, was far too fragile.

Perhaps having sensed Lin Yuan's level, the instinctual consciousness of the Spirit Realm only had terror.

"What's wrong? Can't you recognize me anymore?" Lin Yuan's gaze shifted, looking at the trembling Li Qing, and said with a slight smile,

"Master, Master, have you really returned?" Li Qing snapped back to her senses, almost thinking she was dreaming just now.

Since ancient times, the Spirit Realm had experienced the ups and downs of epoch after epoch. Apart from that Immortal Realm Dao Ancestor at the birth of the world, there had never been an instance where an expert who entered the Ninth Heaven returned to the Spirit Realm.

After a moment, Li Qing finally reluctantly accepted the fact that the majestic figure before her was her own teacher.

"You've worked hard these past years," Lin Yuan looked at Li Qing and said with slight praise.

For Martial Dao to have its current development in the Spirit Realm, Li Qing must have poured in tremendous effort.

"This time Master descended, are you planning to—" Li Qing steadied herself and couldn't help asking.

Seeing Lin Yuan again, Li Qing was extremely excited, which was why she asked this question, wanting to work for her teacher once more.

"No particular plan."

"I plan to bring all of you up to the Immortal Realm."

Lin Yuan said with a slight smile.

This was also the purpose of returning to the Spirit Realm: to utilize the numerous Martial Dao cultivators of the Spirit Realm to spread and develop Martial Dao in the Immortal Realm.

"Bring us to the Immortal Realm?"

"All of us?"

Li Qing was somewhat dazed.

Since ancient times, she had never heard that going to the Immortal Realm could also be done by being 'brought' up?

In Li Qing's cognition, wanting to go to the Immortal Realm required nothing less than ascending to the Ninth Heaven. Ever since the birth of the Spirit Realm, it had always been like this, and those ancient Tribulation Transcending Stage Experts were all the same.

Yet now Lin Yuan said he was going to bring her up?

And all of them?

It sounded like more than one person?

"You go down and prepare first. Within the Spirit Realm, all sixth-tier Martial Dao cultivators can enter the Immortal Realm," Lin Yuan said.

The cultivation environment of the Immortal Realm far exceeded the Spirit Realm. When Martial Dao cultivators entered the Immortal Realm, their upper limit would be even higher.

"All sixth-tier Martial Dao cultivators?" Li Qing was startled. Martial Dao was flourishing in the Spirit Realm today, and she didn't know how many sixth-tier cultivators there were. Could all of them enter the Immortal Realm?

Deep within the Demon Abyss.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor had all demons retreat back to the Demon Abyss, but he did not give up his attention on the Immortal Realm. Due to Lin Yuan's existence, the Demon Abyss Ancestor had almost fully recovered all his consciousness.

Constantly observing the Immortal Realm, especially every little change in the Xuantian Immortal Domain.

"Hmm?"

"Space-time channel fluctuations? That existence has opened up a space-time channel between the Immortal Realm and the Lower Realm?"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's heart stirred slightly. He could not lock onto Lin Yuan's specific positional coordinates, but he was extremely sensitive to space-time fluctuations.

"Such a stable space-time channel—"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor was shocked.

With his Dao Ancestor-level strength, he was able to roam the Lower Realm in spirit, and could also forcefully bring life forms from the Lower Realm to the Immortal Realm.

But wanting to be like Lin Yuan, opening up a stable space-time channel and completely running through the Lower Realm and the Immortal Realm, required resisting the 'repair' power of the entire Immortal Realm, and the requirement for space-time perception was unimaginably high.

"Which Lower Realm is this space-time channel leading to—"

The Demon Abyss Ancestor observed carefully and began to probe, as invisible Demon Abyss power faintly converged.

Suddenly.

Right at this moment.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor's expression changed.

Not far from him, the power of space-time condensed, forming the figure of a young man.

This young man easily crossed the numerous obstacles of the Demon Abyss, condensed an Incarnation to appear here, looked at the Demon Abyss Ancestor with a smile, and said,

"Demon Abyss Ancestor?"

"Who are you, Your Excellency?" The Demon Abyss Ancestor's expression was grave, facing a formidable enemy, knowing that the young man's Incarnation before him was the very existence he had been spying on.

The young man said with a smile, "I am the Martial Dao Ancestor."
