Chapter 552 Domain Conflicts (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"This is indeed a Martial Dao Evolution Path."

Supreme Being Xuan Yuan nearby also repeatedly reviewed it several times.

Then, in a solemn tone, he said,

"However, it is based on thunder. I can sense that this thunder Martial Dao does not yet have a Twelve-Order Ultimate standing at its pinnacle."

An evolution path meant a cultivation path; as long as Twelve-Order entities carefully perceived it,

they could determine whether this evolution path had Twelve-Order Experts.

Yet right now, this thunder Martial Dao Evolution Path was extremely similar to the Martial Dao Evolution Path walked by Lin Yuan, but it lacked Twelve-Order cultivators?

"Correct."

"This evolution path is a branch of the Martial Dao I walk. After being opened and perfected by me, it can entirely give birth to a new Twelve-Order [being]." Lin Yuan said.

"Inconceivable." Gu Li Supreme Expert found it hard to believe.

They had also heard that certain incomparably vast evolution paths could have multiple branches coexist simultaneously, each capable of giving birth to new Twelve-Order ones.

However, such evolution paths were extremely rare, requiring Perfection in all aspects and pushing Foundation and heritage to the limit; otherwise, if the path itself wasn't broad enough, how could it accommodate other evolution branches?

Furthermore, it needed to be extremely compatible with the Chaos Void and the operating rules and Daos of the Chaos Void.

Yet no matter how perfect it was, if it wasn't compatible with the Chaos Void Dao, it wouldn't be able to extend branches.

"It seems we still underestimated our judgment of Martial Dao back then."

After finishing reading, Supreme Being Xia Qin was likewise shaken to the core in his heart,

and he could sense that this thunder Martial Dao, even if it was merely a branch of the true Martial Dao,

possessed a potential slightly higher than the Twelve-Order evolution path he cultivated.

Even a branch was like this, let alone the main path?

"Indeed."

Supreme Being Xuan Yuan nodded.

Evolution paths capable of extending branches all possessed the potential to become Thirteenth Order, heaven-reaching Daos.

"Whether a branch can be opened cannot be seen below the Twelve-Order." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

This could not be blamed on the nine human Supreme Powerhouses; even a Chaos Venerable, merely viewing the Rank 1 Chapter to Eleven-Tier Chapter of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, would find it difficult to determine whether the Martial Dao could extend branches.

"Galaxy, do you intend to make this thunder Martial Dao public within the clan?" Supreme Being Yu Die tentatively asked.

"Mm." Lin Yuan nodded, as he also eagerly desired for the thunder Martial Dao to give birth to a Twelve-Order [being].

The Foundation of a large tree did not lie in being thick and tall, but in the countless roots spreading deep into the earth; the more Experts there were on the Martial Dao branches, the more they would feed back into the Martial Dao.

"That's wonderful."

"In this way, our Human Civilization is equivalent to gaining an additional Twelve-Order evolution path."

Supreme Being Yu Die nodded slightly. Even if a Twelve-Order evolution path could be bought in the Chaos Void, how could it compare in reliability to this thunder Martial Dao?

"It's a pity I am not walking the thunder path; otherwise, I might have directly transferred to this evolution path." Gu Li Supreme Expert sighed.

Within the Universe, any Evolver who had chosen an evolution path, after reaching Tier 6, would find it very difficult to switch to other evolution paths.

But that applied to Evolvers below the Twelve-Order; for a Twelve-Order Evolver wishing to switch to another evolution path, all they needed to do was 'disperse their Dao'.

Dispersing the Dao they had cultivated.

Of course, no Twelve-Order expert would easily 'disperse their Dao'; the risks were simply too great.

A Twelve-Order lifeform that dispersed its own 'Dao' would have its Physical Body and Soul at the Twelve-Order level, but without a path to stand on, it couldn't even display one percent or one-thousandth of its combat power.

And wanting to Cultivate another evolution path to the Twelve-Order? That also required a massive amount of time.

Therefore, unless they encountered an evolution path exceptionally suited to themselves, no Twelve-Order lifeform would be willing to 'disperse their Dao'.

Even if they encountered a thoroughly suitable evolution path, when it came to 'dispersing the Dao', they would be extremely cautious. Should enemies hunt them down during the 'dispersing Dao' period, the outcome could be easily imagined.

"Actually, this branch is quite suitable for you, Gu Li." Lin Yuan smiled slightly, transmitting the opened and perfected 'Force Martial Dao' to Gu Li Supreme Expert.

Lin Yuan had awakened the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Mountain Moving' very early on and had a deep comprehension of the Force Rule; naturally, the Martial Dao also extended into a Force Martial Dao related to the Force Rule.

"This branch?"

Gu Li Supreme Expert was somewhat stunned. Aside from the thunder Martial Dao, there was another branch?

But the next moment, Gu Li Supreme Expert froze as every detail concerning the Force Martial Dao poured entirely into his mind.

"Th-this-this—" Gu Li Supreme Expert was dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "I never expected that the Force path could be walked like this, that it could be walked in such a manner."

Gu Li Supreme Expert's eyes lit up. "The Dao of Force is not merely pure strength; it even involves space-time. If I had embarked on this cultivation path earlier, I'm afraid I would be close to the Pilgrimage Realm Peak by now."

Gu Li Supreme Expert was the second Supreme Powerhouse born in Human Civilization, belonging to the same era as Supreme Being Xuan Yuan.

"All Daos lead to the same destination by different routes. To step into the Chaos Realm, one must accommodate myriad rules and nurture Chaos Rules." Lin Yuan said.

When secluding himself to extend and perfect the major branches of Martial Dao, Lin Yuan naturally prioritized the paths taken by the nine Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization.

For instance, Gu Li Supreme Expert's Force path, Supreme Being Yu Die's Dream path, Supreme Being Xia Qin's Nether path…

The paths walked by all nine Supreme Powerhouses were entirely included within the Martial Dao branches.

"This Force Martial Dao indeed has greater potential than the evolution path you Cultivate, Gu Li, and it is even more suitable for you." After browsing through it, Supreme Being Xuan Yuan also evaluated.

"Indeed."

Lin Yuan nodded.

How could it not be suitable?

This Force Martial Dao was specially perfected by Lin Yuan tailored specifically for Gu Li Supreme Expert.

With Lin Yuan's Realm, he had long since seen through the strengths and weaknesses of Gu Li Supreme Expert.

Using Martial Dao as the Foundation to perfect a Force Martial Dao suitable for Gu Li Supreme Expert to Cultivate couldn't be simpler.

After all, it wasn't created out of thin air.

"Gu Li, I suggest you switch to cultivating this Force Martial Dao." Supreme Being Xia Qin said from the side.

"I feel the same way." Gu Li Supreme Expert's expression was spirited, and then he tentatively asked Lin Yuan, "Galaxy, can I switch to cultivating this Force Martial Dao?"

This Force Martial Dao was brought out by Lin Yuan and was a branch of the path Lin Yuan walked. Naturally, before switching to it himself, he needed to ask for Lin Yuan's opinion.

"No problem."

Lin Yuan smiled and said.

Gu Li Supreme Expert switching to the Force Martial Dao would also bring great benefits to Lin Yuan.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Force Martial Dao were made public to all citizens of Human Civilization, who knew how long it would take for a Twelve-Order [being] of the Force Martial Dao to be born.

Just having an evolution path did not mean a Twelve-Order [being] would definitely be born.

But Gu Li Supreme Expert? He was already at the Twelve-Order Realm. If he chose to 'disperse his Dao' and Cultivate the Force Martial Dao, stepping back into the Twelve-Order level would likely have virtually no Bottleneck risks.

"With Gu Li switching to the Force Martial Dao, he is likely to become the second Pilgrimage Realm Peak of our Human Civilization." Void God Supreme Expert sighed with emotion, "The future of our Human Civilization will grow increasingly powerful."

"Don't rush." Lin Yuan said from the side, "I have also prepared some branches for all of you."

Supreme Being Xuan Yuan, Supreme Being Xia Qin, Supreme Being Yu Die, and the other eight Supreme Powerhouses were slightly stunned.

Lin Yuan continued to transmit the eight Martial Dao branches, such as the 'Nether Martial Dao' and the 'Dream Martial Dao', over to them.

"This?"

The eight Supreme Powerhouses took deep breaths and then quickly began to read and browse through them.

After a long while,

Supreme Being Xia Qin suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze dim and abstruse, before rapidly returning to normal.

"Galaxy, this evolution path—" Supreme Being Xia Qin's voice trembled slightly as he looked at Lin Yuan.

"The Dream Martial Dao, illusion and reality—stepping into the Sovereign Realm with this evolution path should pose no problem at all." Supreme Being Yu Die's eyes flickered with unprecedented brilliance. "Cultivated to the extreme, I will transform into an illusory lifeform. Even a Chaos Venerable would have to go through some trouble to deal with me."

"Indeed."

The other Supreme Powerhouses likewise nodded in agreement. They were also deeply shocked by the Martial Dao branches transmitted by Lin Yuan.

"Galaxy, these—" Supreme Being Xuan Yuan looked at Lin Yuan, excitement written in his gaze.

"All of you can Cultivate them." Lin Yuan stated directly.

Extending and perfecting dedicated Martial Dao branches for the nine Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization was entirely a mutually beneficial matter.

The heritage of the Martial Dao walked by Lin Yuan became even more profound, while the nine Supreme Powerhouses of Human Civilization likewise gained a higher and farther future.

"There are also dozens of other Martial Dao branches, each of which can be regarded as a brand-new Twelve-Order evolution path." Lin Yuan brought out all the Martial Dao branches he had opened, perfected, and extended.

There were seventy-three in total.

The nine Supreme Powerhouses looked at each other, and the shock in their hearts actually lessened slightly.

At least with the previous thunder Martial Dao and the Martial Dao branches perfectly suited to the nine Supreme Powerhouses serving as a Foundation, having dozens more Twelve-Order Martial Dao branches wasn't all that unimaginable anymore.

Next…

Lin Yuan chatted a few more words with the Nine Supreme Experts, and then Supreme Being Xia Qin and Supreme Being Xuan Yuan began to discuss who would be the first to 'disperse the Dao' and switch to cultivating a Martial Dao branch.

No matter how powerful a Twelve-Order Life is—whether in the Dao Realm, Sovereign Realm, or Chaos Realm—once they disperse the Dao, their strength will plummet drastically. Therefore, the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization certainly will not 'disperse the Dao' at the same time.

Although Human Civilization has Lin Yuan as its stabilizing pillar, they can't possibly expect Lin Yuan to manage everything, right?

The result of their discussion was that, during the same period, a maximum of only two Supreme Experts are allowed to choose to 'disperse the Dao'.

Before these two Supreme Experts step back into the Twelfth Order, the other seven Supreme Experts still need to shoulder the task of maintaining the order of Human Civilization.

Unlike other Twelve-Order Lives, the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization grew up together from their weak period and trust each other extraordinarily, which is why they dared to take the lead in 'dispersing the Dao'.

After all, after 'dispersing the Dao' and losing their foundational path, a Twelve-Order Life will have profound heritage but no power. For any Experts of the same level, this is a once-in-a-lifetime 'super tonic'.

No matter whether it is taken to be devoured and refined, it can greatly benefit oneself.

After making the various Martial Dao branches public within Human Civilization, Lin Yuan resumed his seclusion.

'Refining these resources should allow my 。。。Profound Yellow Body。。。 to almost reach Sovereign Realm Perfection.' Lin Yuan took out that purple cloth bag.

Inside are precisely the resources obtained from selling the eighteen Sovereign Realm strange trees.

These resource Materials, coupled with what Lin Yuan accumulated at other times, as well as the spoils from killing the two Sovereign Realm Experts, Snake Demon Master and Blood Blessing Master.

Could be considered Lin Yuan's entire net worth.

Snake Demon Master and Blood Blessing Master are notorious plunderers, and their wealth far exceeds ordinary Peak Sovereign Realms.

Origin World.

Azure Ember Domain, Burning Heaven Courtyard.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the thirteenth floor, cultivating in an orderly manner.

'Becoming a Disciple of Qing Fen Marquis has treatments that are much better than continuing to stay in the Yu Family.'

Lin Yuan thought to himself. It's not to say that the Yu Family is bad, but rather that entering under the command of Qing Fen Marquis can greatly save Lin Yuan time in dealing with trivial matters.

All his mental effort and energy can be placed on cultivation.

Therefore, Lin Yuan is very satisfied with his current situation.

To a certain extent, Lin Yuan in the Origin World has a more favorable external environment than in the Chaos Void.

After all, in the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan doesn't have any backing, but in the Origin World, Qing Fen Marquis, as a Peak Great Sovereign level expert, can completely protect Lin Yuan.

Apart from Qing Fen Marquis, Lin Yuan should belong to the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom faction, and there is no need to say much about his background.

'Right now, I have already recovered to the strength of the Twelfth Order Dao Realm.'

Ever since he last met Qing Fen Marquis, Lin Yuan's cultivation resources have never been cut off and come in an endless stream, so naturally there are no Bottlenecks or twists and turns in terms of recovering his strength.

'The Blazing Sun Seeds are also about to condense thirty thousand of them.'

Lin Yuan has never given up condensing Blazing Sun Seeds, mainly because this matter does not pose any difficulty to Lin Yuan and doesn't consume much energy; he just did it conveniently alongside his cultivation.

'The extent of comprehension of the rules has indeed increased a bit, but the extent is not large,' Lin Yuan thought to himself, without feeling any surprise.

In fact, the suggestion of Qing Fen Marquis was not wrong. After condensing several thousand to over ten thousand Blazing Sun Seeds, once the Physical Body undergoes a transformation, there is no need to spend energy continuing to condense Blazing Sun Seeds.

Because the input and output are not worth it.

Other people are not Lin Yuan. After having thousands or ten thousand Blazing Sun Seeds, condensing just one more requires an unimaginably massive amount of energy and mental effort, solely to enhance the rule comprehension magnitude by a few thousandths or ten-thousandths?

'I want to see what changes will occur after condensing thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Blazing Sun Seeds.'

Lin Yuan was quite expectant in his heart. Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Blazing Sun Seeds can cause the Physical Body to transform and convert into the Blazing Sun Divine Body.

What about thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three?

Speaking of the difficulty of condensation, the latter surpasses the former by who knows how much. Perhaps only those Ancient Kingdom royal family members who can automatically condense Blazing Sun Seeds even while sleeping would dare to try this quantity of Blazing Sun Seeds?

'Hmm?'

'Master sent a message to me?'

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly as he took out a red Jade Slip, on which an extra piece of information had appeared.

'For the recent period of time, do not leave Burning Heaven Courtyard.'

The message from Qing Fen Marquis was very brief, but being able to personally remind him as a dignified Great Sovereign-level existence means it definitely isn't simple.

Qing Fen Marquis sits in command of Azure Ember City, and every single detail of the entire city is under the overview of this Peak Great Sovereign. Logically speaking, even if Lin Yuan left Burning Heaven Courtyard, as long as he didn't leave Azure Ember City, he still wouldn't need to worry about anything.

Qing Fen Marquis can completely descend in an instant.

'Is it because of the threat from the Purple Dream Domain?' Lin Yuan guessed in his heart.

Recently, even Lin Yuan, who was immersed in closed-door cultivation, occasionally heard about some things.

Experts from the Purple Dream Domain frequently appeared near Azure Ember City, vaguely peeping at something.

Purple Dream Domain was a major domain adjacent to Azure Ember Domain, originating from a hostile Ancient Kingdom.

The Origin World continent is boundless, with various Ancient Kingdoms spanning across like behemoths. The Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom is supreme, but it is definitely not the only one; hostile Ancient Kingdoms still exist.

Collisions and frictions frequently occurred between Ancient Kingdoms, especially in the various major domains along the peripheral borders.

The strength of Purple Dream Great Sovereign is not much weaker than Qing Fen Marquis. Qing Fen Marquis telling Lin Yuan not to leave Burning Heaven Courtyard is taking the most extreme scenario into consideration.

Once Purple Dream Great Sovereign makes a move and he himself is held back, he will be unable to guarantee Lin Yuan's safety.

As for letting Lin Yuan stay in Burning Heaven Courtyard? It is because Burning Heaven Courtyard is the very core of Azure Ember City's grand array.

Even if it were fellow Peak Great Sovereign Experts, wanting to invade Burning Heaven Courtyard would still require a considerable amount of time.

Once this matter truly happened, it would trigger the teleportation Restriction of Burning Heaven Courtyard, instantly teleporting Lin Yuan to another location, which is a lair personally prepared by Qing Fen Marquis and is incomparably safe.

Therefore.

As long as Lin Yuan honestly stays in Burning Heaven Courtyard, even Heavenly Sovereign-level Experts might not be able to do anything to him.

'Then for the time being, I will just stay here all along.'

Lin Yuan is quite receptive to advice. Since Qing Fen Marquis told him not to go out, he definitely won't go out.

Although even if this Physical Body perished, for Lin Yuan, it wasn't true death and he could start over from scratch, it would still waste time.

Furthermore, whether the next consciousness descent and shuttle can have this starting condition is uncertain.

Not every Great Sovereign-level expert valued Disciples as much as Qing Fen Marquis did. Many Great Sovereigns are selfish and even specially cultivated Disciples to use as 'resources' for their own cultivation.

'Internal Universe.'

After stepping back into the Twelfth Order, Lin Yuan's internal Universe evolved on its own and began to reconstruct itself using the Thirteenth Order Legacy 。。。Infinite Void。。。.

'In this Origin World, the Foundation is a weak point, and there is no concept of an internal Universe.' Lin Yuan thought while re-cultivating 。。。Infinite Void。。。.

'。。。Infinite Void。。。 was not an evolution path like Martial Dao; it is more similar to a secret technique, an art of modifying the internal Universe. Therefore, it can be cultivated even in this dimensional plane outside the Chaos Void that is the Origin World.'

'Or rather, is it not that the Foundations of the strong in this Origin World are weak, but that the Foundations of the strong in the Chaos Void are too strong?' Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In the Chaos Void, when stepping into the Twelfth Order, one will receive the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin, and only thus can the transformation of the internal Universe be accelerated.

But in this Origin World, there is no such 'benefit'. If Lin Yuan hadn't relied on the massive resources provided by Qing Fen Marquis, wanting his Internal World to transform into an internal Universe would probably have required a huge amount of time and mental effort.

Even Lin Yuan is like this, let alone other Experts.

Time slowly elapsed.

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

On this day, Lin Yuan's internal Universe surged mightily, having already completely mastered the first layer of 。。。Infinite Void。。。, rivaling the internal Universe of a Chaos Venerable.

At this moment, the strength of Lin Yuan's Foundation definitely surpassed Peak Great Sovereigns like Qing Fen Marquis.

'Blazing Sun Seed.'

Lin Yuan's expression moved as he looked inside himself.

At this moment, every part of his Physical Body and bones was filled with Blazing Sun Seeds, resembling a boundless sea of blazing suns. As time passed, new Blazing Sun Seeds were still condensing.

'Hmm?'

Lin Yuan condensed another Blazing Sun Seed once more.

In an instant.

One Blazing Sun Seed after another faintly formed the embryonic form of a grand circulation, suddenly bursting with dazzling brilliance.

'PS: The first update has arrived.'

'Around eleven o'clock, there will be a second update.'
