Chapter 568: Strength Advancement

As a Twelfth Order top-grade rare treasure, the chaos tree was a treasure of the Great Saint level.

The moment it took root in the Internal World, it produced immediate results.

"My Internal World?"

Lin Yuan immediately wore a look of astonishment, carefully perceiving every minute change in his Internal World.

The chaos tree's influence on the Internal World was multifaceted: spacetime became more stable, the operation of rules became more perfect, and so on.

All of this was within Lin Yuan's expectations.

Furthermore, after the chaos tree took root, it caused wisps of Chaos Qi to pervade the Internal World, resembling the Chaos Qi that filled every corner of the Chaos Void.

These wisps of Chaos Qi caused a certain deeper level of transformation within Lin Yuan's Internal World.

Swish.

The edges of the Internal World began to expand crazily.

Originally, after Lin Yuan cultivated the Infinite Void, his Internal World had reached a radius of twenty million light-years.

This was also close to the limit size of Lin Yuan's Internal World. To achieve another massive enhancement, he could only do so after stepping into the Sovereign Realm and elevating his life essence.

Yet now.

The Internal World, which was originally twenty million light-years in radius, suddenly and rapidly soared.

Twenty-one million.

Twenty-three million.

Twenty-five million.

In less than a moment, it reached a radius of thirty million light-years.

Thirty-one million.

Thirty-two million.

When it approached a radius of thirty-three million light-years, the expansion of the Internal World gradually slowed down.

Although it was still expanding, the speed was visibly slowing down, and it was expected to reach a size just over thirty-three million light-years in radius.

"As expected of the chaos tree."

Lin Yuan's expression was one of amazement. The chaos tree's enhancement to the Internal World was simply incredible; the surface area alone had nearly doubled.

One must know that with the current volume of Lin Yuan's Internal World, wanting to achieve this kind of growth either required slowly grinding away time—ten cosmic eras or a hundred cosmic eras for the Internal World to expand bit by bit, causing a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation—

or else it required a major Realm Breakthrough, where the elevation of life essence would have a significant enhancement effect on all aspects of oneself.

"Tuolong Great Saint still put effort into cultivating successors."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Tuolong Great Saint was the main body of that Great Saint split Soul on Cang Yulong.

When Lin Yuan viewed his cultivation memory fragments, he had recognized this ancient Great Saint.

The path walked by every Great Saint was extremely easy to distinguish, and a Great Saint's reputation could often spread throughout various Void Domains; unless too many years had passed since their demise, it would still be passed down.

Tuolong Great Saint was a Chaotic Great Saint who excelled in the Physical Body Domain.

In terms of combat power, even if he was inferior to a Peerless Great Saint, he was still much stronger than newly advanced Great Saints like Shadow Demon Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint.

"It's a pity—"

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. This chaos tree had ultimately fallen into his hands.

Actually, it wasn't much of a pity. If Lin Yuan hadn't made a move, under the torture of Nine Mystic Venerable, Cang Yulong would eventually have handed over everything one day. By then, not only would the chaos tree and the Legacy space be gone, but even Cang Yulong wouldn't survive.

In fact, if not for the chaos tree, Lin Yuan wouldn't have taken the risk of making an enemy of a Venerable.

"With my current strength, if I were to spar with that Nine Mystic Venerable again, there would be no need to use the Divine Ability 'Tear of the Heavens'."

Lin Yuan thought in his heart.

The Divine Ability 'World' alone was enough to force out Nine Mystic Venerable's life-saving items. With the increase in the Internal World, the one who benefited the most was precisely the Divine Ability 'World'.

This Physical Body Divine Ability entirely depended on the strength of Lin Yuan's Internal World.

Of course, this was established on the premise of sparring; if it were a life-or-death battle, naturally there would be no intention of holding back, and all trump cards and fatal moves would certainly be unleashed.

Just as Lin Yuan's Internal World continued to expand and the circulating rule fluctuations grew increasingly stable,

deep within the Internal World, a jade gourd vibrated slightly, and a Red-Clothed Girl tied with two pigtails pointing to the sky appeared.

"Why is this Internal World…"

The Red-Clothed Girl observed the entire Internal World. As the spirit of the jade gourd and the guardian of the Thirteenth Order Legacy Infinite Void, she naturally paid close attention to Lin Yuan's Internal World.

After all, the core of the Infinite Void Legacy lay precisely in the Internal World.

"Is it the chaos tree?"

The Red-Clothed Girl immediately discovered the source causing everything.

Whoosh.

Lin Yuan condensed an Incarnation and appeared beside her.

As the creator of the Internal World, Lin Yuan was clear about every minute change within it, and naturally sensed the changes in the jade gourd.

"Senior, you also know about the chaos tree?"

Lin Yuan asked aloud.

"I naturally know about the chaos tree."

The Red-Clothed Girl glanced at Lin Yuan. "Most such rare treasures fall from the Chaotic Void Origin Land and are quite precious, especially in enhancing the Internal World."

"For cultivators of the Infinite Void Legacy lineage, the chaos tree has even more unimaginable effects."

said the Red-Clothed Girl.

"Fallen from the Chaotic Void Origin Land?"

Lin Yuan looked at the Red-Clothed Girl.

Did the chaos tree originate from the Source Land?

When Lin Yuan broke through Tier 10, Eleven-Tier, and even Twelfth Order, he had all endured infusions from the Chaotic Void Origin Land and felt the vast aura contained within.

Did the chaos tree originate from that place?

"Places outside the Source Land cannot nurture a true chaos tree."

The Red-Clothed Girl shook her head and said, "I know you might have heard the saying that the World Tree has the potential to transform into a chaos tree, but it is basically unachievable."

"I see."

Lin Yuan glanced at another direction in the Internal World.

There, a giant tree was also swaying; it was precisely the World Tree.

Ever since Lin Yuan cultivated the first layer of Infinite Void and his Internal World reached a range of twenty million light-years, the usefulness of the World Tree had decreased a lot.

Because with the might of the World Tree, it simply could not cover such a large Internal World.

When he first explored the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan had also harbored the idea of cultivating the World Tree into a chaos tree, but after trying for a long time, he found it wasn't of much use.

"However, being able to obtain the chaos tree is quite a substantial Opportunity."

The Red-Clothed Girl praised with a sigh.

She didn't care about how precious the chaos tree was, but rather that rare treasures like the chaos tree were very suitable for cultivators like Lin Yuan whose Internal World Foundation was incomparably thick.

In the hands of different cultivators, the effects exerted by the chaos tree were also different.

In the hands of ordinary Chaos Venerables, it might only make the Internal World a bit more stable and shorten the time to step into the Chaos Realm Peak.

The enhancement to combat power was not too significant.

But in Lin Yuan's hands? The effect was terrifying. At least judging by the current performance, Lin Yuan's comprehensive combat power had increased by a large margin compared to before he obtained the chaos tree.

This was only the initial impact. As time passed, the blessings of the chaos tree would become more and more numerous, reaching the Sovereign Realm and even the Chaos Realm.

"It's also pretty good luck."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. He hadn't expected that sending an Incarnation to the Myriad Forms Void Domain trip would yield such a massive Opportunity.

Continuing to observe the chaos tree for a while and making sure there was no discomfort after it took root, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the Legacy space.

This Legacy space was created by Tuolong Great Saint, and its purpose was precisely to Cultivate successors.

The chaos tree was indeed the most precious rare treasure among them, but it was definitely not the only one. Aside from the chaos tree, a large number of other treasures were left behind,

as well as Tuolong Great Saint's Legacy.

In fact, the most important thing in the entire Legacy space was not the chaos tree, but Tuolong Great Saint's split Soul.

For the vast majority of cultivators, the effect of the chaos tree was at best to make their Internal World a bit more stable, seizing more initiative and advantages in battles against Experts of the same level.

But Tuolong Great Saint's split Soul?

That was the hope that could allow one to break through Bottlenecks and go further.

A Great Saint's guidance was of little use from a Venerable to a Great Saint, but from Proving Dao to Sovereign, and Sovereign to Venerable, it still had a huge effect.

Even for a Chaos Venerable? With the guidance of a Great Saint's split Soul, even if they still couldn't use this to step into the Great Saint Domain, they would see the path ahead much more clearly.

However, Lin Yuan was different.

The so-called guidance of a Great Saint's split Soul did not help him much.

The path Lin Yuan walked was based on the different aspects of different dimensional rules and Dao rules; Great Saints didn't understand much about this aspect.

Moreover, a Great Saint's split Soul would only guide the successor they selected, and Lin Yuan was obviously not suited to walk Tuolong Great Saint's path.

After the mysterious Legacy space was refined, it had already turned to the size of a palm, floating up and down in front of Lin Yuan.

"Let me take a look."

Lin Yuan immediately began to check it. At this moment, he was the Master of this space and had complete control over it.

"Nine Tribulations Tuo Dragon Body?"

Lin Yuan carefully observed this Legacy.

Similar to the Profound Yellow Body and the Black Jade Undying Body, this Legacy was a Body Refining technique.

Tuolong Great Saint was the wonder life form 'Tuo Dragon' nurtured by the Chaos Void. His Physical Body was extremely powerful, all the more so after stepping into the Great Saint Domain.

Relying on such a formidable Physical Body and other means, Tuolong Great Saint gave other Great Saints of the same level a tremendous headache.

And this "Nine Tribulations Tuo Dragon Body", in essence, is through a special Body Refining method to bring one's Physical Body closer to the wonder life form 'Tuolong'.

During this, it is necessary to cross nine tribulations; after the nine tribulations, this Body Refining method can be considered Perfection, and by then the cultivator will also transform into another wonder life form 'Tuolong'.

Up to now, the boundless Chaos Void has only ever given birth to one 'Tuolong'.

Therefore, Tuolong Great Saint was born very lonely, with no clansman to rely on, and expended great effort to create this Legacy, also existing because he was unwilling for the 'Tuolong' clan to completely perish due to his Breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order.

As long as this Body Refining method is cultivated to Perfection, one will become a new wonder life form 'Tuolong'.

"It indeed has many commendable aspects."

Lin Yuan carefully browsed and watched, his expression thoughtful.

In terms of level, this Body Refining method is inferior to the "Profound Yellow Body" and the "Black Jade Undying Body"; after all, cultivating it to the Ultimate Perfection is merely transforming into the 'Tuolong' Physical Body.

And whether it is the "Profound Yellow Body" or the "Black Jade Undying Body", cultivating them to Perfection relying solely on the Physical Body is enough to forcefully shake a Chaotic Great Saint.

But as a Great Saint-Grade Body Refining method, in subtle places, it still made Lin Yuan quite amazed, and it could even be integrated into his own Physical Body to make it more perfect and flawless.

"Tuolong."

In Lin Yuan's mind, the detailed Physical Body structure of the wonder life form 'Tuolong' emerged; the Ultimate goal of the "Nine Tribulations Tuo Dragon Body" was to transform into a Tuolong, naturally possessing detailed information about this wonder life form.

"The Chaos Void nurtures wonder life forms, and the Cosmic Starry Sky nurtures special life forms, both of which are Innately nurtured and both possess powerful Bloodline talents."

Lin Yuan's expression was thoughtful; the so-called Cosmic Starry Sky and Chaos Void are exceptionally similar in many aspects.

Within the Legacy space, besides the "Nine Tribulations Tuo Dragon Body", there were many other Legacies.

Lin Yuan browsed and absorbed them one by one, integrating the parts helpful to himself into his own Dao.

Whoosh.

At the microscopic level of Lin Yuan's Physical Body, it was still slowly changing. Even a Peerless Great Saint like Your Majesty Xuan Huang would find it very difficult to capture a Great Saint-level wonder life form proficient in the Physical Body for research.

Being fellow Great Saints, even if Your Majesty Xuan Huang was a Peerless Great Saint and stronger than a Chaotic Great Saint, capturing a Great Saint alive? As difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even if it could be done, as long as the opponent had other life-saving methods, they could annihilate their Physical Body and Soul with a single thought, and then resurrect through a backup plan.

Any Experts would not be willing to have their Physical Body studied by other beings.

While Lin Yuan was watching and absorbing the many Legacies left behind by Tuolong Great Saint…

He also began to take inventory of the many treasure resources within the Legacy space.

Buzz buzz buzz.

With a thought from Lin Yuan, rare treasures exuding all kinds of auras flew out from various halls of the Legacy space.

There was a ten-meter-large purple crystal, and one could see purple liquid flowing inside with the naked eye.

"Purple Jade Nest?"

Lin Yuan's mind was joyful. This piece of Purple Jade Nest was a treasure of the Chaos Realm level, and such a small piece was worth no less than one million Chaos Realms.

You must know that the Star Tear Fragment World purchased by Lin Yuan, with a size measured in light-years, had a final value of only a little over one million chaos stones.

And the Purple Jade Nest, being only a little over ten meters, commanded this price.

Lin Yuan's gaze looked towards other rare treasures.

There were several yellow beads that collided with each other, exuding an aura that made one's mind tranquil.

There was a nine-color grass that had completely grown nine different leaves.

"These rare treasures, added together, if calculated in terms of chaos stones, should be worth thirty-eight million chaos stones."

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied. The Legacy space opened up by Tuolong Great Saint was for cultivating successors, and cultivating successors relied on more than just guidance; it also required massive resources.

The terrifying resources close to forty million chaos stones were enough to ensure that a normal Tier 11 life would not lack any resources before breaking through to the Chaos Realm.

"Directly devouring and absorbing these resources is somewhat wasteful; it's more cost-effective to exchange them for chaos stones and trade for other resources."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

For example, the rare nine-color grass had the effect of stabilizing the Physical Body and the internal Universe, which had great benefits for those Venerables who had just broken through to the Supreme and whose Physical Body and internal Universe were undergoing rapid transformation.

"However, devouring and absorbing it directly?"

The value would be greatly reduced, which would be a terrible waste.

Lin Yuan was still some distance away from breaking through to the Supreme, and given his Foundation and heritage, stepping into the Chaos Realm did not require these external aids for stabilization.

Therefore, selling them and exchanging them for treasure resources suitable for himself was the best choice.

Gu Ming Chaos Continent.

"Brother Galaxy." Dominator Wan Qu looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.

Because of the instructions from his Master, Venerable Gu Ming, Dominator Wan Qu paid great attention to Lin Yuan.

As long as Lin Yuan wanted to see him, he would come over even if he was busy.

"Brother Wan Qu." Lin Yuan tasted the fine wine in front of him. "I am looking for you this time because I plan to sell some rare treasures."

"Sell rare treasures?" A smile appeared on Dominator Wan Qu's face. "As long as Brother Galaxy brings them out, I, Wan Qu, will take them all."

Previously, Lin Yuan had also sold a few treasures and weapons here, and the cooperation between the two had been quite pleasant.

Dominator Wan Qu's standard for himself was that he would rather earn a little less, or even make no profit at all, to make Lin Yuan as satisfied as possible.

In fact, judging by the treasures and weapons Lin Yuan had sold before, Dominator Wan Qu had still profited a little bit more or less.

"Take a look first."

With a flip of his hand, Lin Yuan took out a portion of the resources from the Legacy space.

The ten-meter-sized Purple Jade Nest, nine-color leaves, and so on.

"Hmm?"

Dominator Wan Qu's expression changed instantly.

The many rare treasures taken out by Lin Yuan were all at the Chaos Realm level, and their value at the Chaos Realm level was not low either.

"So many treasures…" Wan Qu felt a bit numb in his heart. Could it be that Lin Yuan had plundered the lair of a Chaos Venerable?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lin Yuan looked at Dominator Wan Qu.

"No problem, no problem." Dominator Wan Qu immediately shook his head. "However, these rare treasures are too precious; I need to ask my Master for instructions."

Rare treasures involving the Chaos Venerable level were not something he could decide on; he had to get the consent and nod of Venerable Gu Ming.

"Mn, go ahead."

Lin Yuan also understood and spoke.

"I will give Brother Galaxy a reply very soon."

Dominator Wan Qu immediately separated a trace of divine will, condensed an Incarnation, and personally went to Venerable Gu Ming's secluded cultivation place.

"Master, Brother Galaxy wants to sell some rare treasures."

Dominator Wan Qu found Venerable Gu Ming and immediately stated the matter.

"These?" Venerable Gu Ming was equally shocked. Among the many rare treasures Lin Yuan took out, some were difficult even for Chaos Venerables to come into contact with.

"Master, should we accept them?"

Dominator Wan Qu immediately asked.

"Accept, of course we accept."

Venerable Gu Ming glared. "So many treasures, many of which are rare to see; even if I can't sell them, I will still take them."

Venerable Gu Ming's expression was solemn as he immediately gave the price for each rare treasure.

Compared to market value, Venerable Gu Ming basically acquired them at the highest price.

First, these rare treasures were indeed scarce.

Secondly, the Chaos Dragon Beast's prediction regarding Lin Yuan was too terrifying; Venerable Gu Ming was already too late to befriend him, how could he suppress the price?

When Dominator Wan Qu left,

Venerable Gu Ming's expression quickly calmed down.

"Gu Ming."

The Black-robed Youth appeared beside him.

"This 'Galaxy' seems to be a Great Saint in Reincarnation."

The Black-robed Youth said in a low voice. He had heard every word of the conversation between Venerable Gu Ming and Dominator Wan Qu just now.

"Indeed."

Venerable Gu Ming nodded.

In the Black-robed Youth's predictions, the fate of offending Lin Yuan was certain death.

This meant that in the future, Lin Yuan was almost certain to step into the Great Saint level; otherwise, how could there be talk of certain death?

But let alone the Proving Dao Sovereign Realm, even among Chaos Venerables, who would dare be certain that they could definitely become a Great Saint?

Only a Great Saint in Reincarnation would have the confidence to say that they could definitely return to being a Great Saint.

Therefore, Venerable Gu Ming and the Black-robed Youth deduced that Lin Yuan was a Great Saint in Reincarnation.

Now seeing Lin Yuan take out so many Chaos Realm-level rare treasures,

Venerable Gu Ming and the Black-robed Youth were almost certain of their conjecture that Lin Yuan was a Great Saint in Reincarnation.

These rare treasures were all at the Chaos Realm level, and belonged to that scarce and rare type.

For Lin Yuan to be able to take them out, the only explanation was——

He had recovered part of his memories at the Great Saint level and taken back the backup plans he had arranged during his Peak period.

"A Great Saint…"

Venerable Gu Ming and the Black-robed Youth looked at each other, inwardly feeling extraordinary amazement.
