Chapter 570: Lin Yuan’s Foundation

In the crimson world filled with endless blazing suns, an Incarnation condensed from a wisp of Lin Yuan's mind cautiously observed the surroundings.

At the highest point of the crimson world stood a figure.

It had hundreds of millions of aspects.

Every time Lin Yuan observed it, he had different experiences and comprehensions.

In this crimson world, when Lin Yuan condensed the 30,000th Blazing Sun Seed,

he had also entered it before.

The figure at the highest point was most likely the ancestor of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform.

Originally, Lin Yuan felt that being able to enter this crimson world was completely a matter of luck and occasional chance.

However, after condensing 33,000 Blazing Sun Seeds, Lin Yuan suddenly discovered that a faint connection had been established between himself and this crimson world.

Through this connection, he could descend into it once more.

Realizing this, Lin Yuan would come in once every period of time.

There was no other way. This crimson world looked like a pure world of fire.

However, upon his own comprehension, he discovered that the 'fire' of this world actually contained thousands of Dao rules. At least the rule Daos that Lin Yuan had comprehended could all be found here.

In addition, the figure at the highest point, suspected to be the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, gave Lin Yuan an even greater shock.

In the Chaos Void, even Peerless Great Saints were bitterly pursuing the footsteps of Thirteenth Order lifeforms, wanting to impact the Thirteenth Order for themselves and slightly raise a trace of possibility.

Yet in this Origin World? He could actually directly gaze at a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform at such a close distance?

If this were replaced by those Peerless Great Saints in the Chaos Void, they would probably go mad with envy. Peerless Great Saints like Your Majesty Xuan Huang and Moyu Tower Master dreamed of possessing such an opportunity as Lin Yuan's.

"I am able to enter this world because I have condensed a sufficient number of Blazing Sun Seeds."

Lin Yuan was very clear about why he could appear here. It was still because of the meager Bloodline of the Fiery Sun First Ancestor flowing within his body, coupled with the reason of the Blazing Sun Seeds.

"Unfortunately, the Blazing Sun Seeds I have condensed now are still lacking the final one compared to 33,333."

Lin Yuan's expression was somewhat helpless.

Thirty-five years ago, Lin Yuan had already condensed 33,332 Blazing Sun Seeds, and ever since then, he had been trying to condense the final Blazing Sun Seed.

The closer he got, the more Lin Yuan could feel that 33,333 Blazing Sun Seeds belonged to a completely different Domain.

By then, all the Blazing Sun Seeds would form a complete grand cycle within his body.

Once this grand cycle was formed, it would be a major transformation for himself.

"Take it slow."

"Only a millennium has passed."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. The complexity and obscurity of the final Blazing Sun Seed meant that even he had to carefully comprehend it before he could hope to try condensing it.

Although difficult, with Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension, it should just be a matter of time.

If one millennium wouldn't do, then two thousand, three thousand, or five thousand years.

"I can no longer continue watching."

After staying in this crimson world for a while, Lin Yuan found himself unable to hold on much longer.

This world was filled with ubiquitous blazing sun fire. Lin Yuan's mind was able to descend with the help of the protection of the Blazing Sun Seeds, but this protection had a time limit.

Swish.

The next moment,

the Incarnation condensed from Lin Yuan's mind dissipated.

Inside Burning Heaven Courtyard,

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

"Cultivating in seclusion for a millennium felt like just the blink of an eye to me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The higher the life level, the more blurred the concept of time became. In the eyes of those Great Venerables and Heavenly Venerables, passing tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years in closed-door cultivation was completely normal.

A millennium? It wasn't even enough for a nap.

"However, during this millennium, my improvement can still be considered huge."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. His biggest gain was that the Chaos Rules reached the Second Level of the Chaotic Realm.

From the First Realm to the Second Stage of Chaos, it seemed like an increase of only one realm, but in reality, it was the result of Lin Yuan comprehending an unknown number of rule Daos, leading to a qualitative change caused by quantitative accumulation.

The improvement of Chaos Rules could not be directly comprehended; instead, it required continuously comprehending and thoroughly understanding more and broader rule Daos.

Normally, Chaos Venerables started with the comprehension of the First Realm of Chaos Rules. Afterward, wanting to reach the Second Stage required ten cosmic eras or dozens of cosmic eras to slowly comprehend thousands of rules.

Yet Lin Yuan had accomplished it in merely a millennium.

And that was not even considering that Lin Yuan's life level was only at the Dao Realm, whereas those Venerables possessed the life level of the Chaos Realm.

The higher the life level, the easier and simpler it was to comprehend rules.

Only by standing high could one see far.

"However, although my comprehension of Chaos Rules has reached the Second Stage, I temporarily have no clue how to evolve the power of Yin-Yang Taiji with the Chaos Rules as the Foundation."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

According to his original estimations, wanting to evolve the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji required the Chaos Rules to reach at least the Second Stage.

However, the Chaos Rules at the Second Stage were only one of the prerequisites for evolving the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji, not all the conditions.

"How on earth does Chaos generate Yin and Yang, and how does Chaos generate Taiji? How is it evolved?"

Lin Yuan pondered, "This is a path exclusive to me. Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji has no precedent whatsoever, whether in the Chaos Void or in this Origin World."

In fact, even seemingly identical paths were fundamentally different.

For instance, the Chaos Fire walked by Qing Fen Marquis was completely different from the Chaos Fire of other Great Venerables. Qing Fen Marquis's Chaos Fire was azure and burning.

Even similar paths of Chaos Fire would exhibit huge differences.

The Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji was even more so.

"If I couldn't enter that crimson world and gaze upon a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform like the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, I'm afraid I might not be able to evolve the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji even after a hundred thousand or a million years."

Lin Yuan thought inwardly.

If it were merely evolving Chaos Yin or Chaos Yang, it posed no difficulty for Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan was not satisfied with evolving only a single path.

Starting from the Second Order, he had forged his Foundation with Yin and Yang Taiji. Now that he had reached the point where Chaos evolves all things, he naturally still took Yin and Yang Taiji as the core.

As for pure Chaos Yin or pure Chaos Yang? Even if they were truly evolved, for Lin Yuan, the losses would outweigh the gains, and his future potential upper limit would be suppressed and reduced.

"Fiery Sun First Ancestor."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Although viewing the figure of the Fiery Sun First Ancestor in that crimson world still hadn't allowed Lin Yuan to evolve the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji, it had at least pointed out a direction.

It made his subsequent path much smoother, giving him at least a target to pursue rather than Cultivating and comprehending aimlessly.

"Continuing to comprehend more Dao rules and elevating the Chaos Rules to the Third Realm might make the evolution of Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji proceed step by step."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. This was also the comprehension he gained from frequently observing the figure of the Fiery Sun First Ancestor.

Theoretically, the Second Level of the Chaotic Realm could evolve Yin and Yang Taiji, but that was merely a theory. At least Lin Yuan currently could not perceive the possibility of evolving it.

Since that was the case, he would continue to enhance his comprehension of Chaos Rules.

There were a total of three realms in Chaos Rules comprehension. Reaching the Third Realm essentially meant reaching the limit of Chaos Rules. Rules of this degree could completely and easily evolve various kinds of paths.

"In fact, even with my Comprehension Ability, I cannot perceive any hope of evolving the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji, which shows that the potential of this path is extremely high."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Some power evolutions only required the First Realm of Chaos; for example, the most ordinary Chaos Fire, Chaos Gold, and so on.

For these power paths, the First Realm of Chaos was sufficient to encompass and cover them.

However, some power evolutions required the Second Stage of Chaos, and the difficulty was tens or hundreds of times that of the former. Of course, the power path ultimately evolved would also soar by a massive margin in all aspects.

From this, it could be deduced that the higher the demand for Chaos Rules comprehension a power path had, the higher its potential would be.

"The Third Realm of Chaos?"

A strange expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face. Placed in the Chaos Void, many Chaotic Great Saints might not possess the comprehension of the Third Realm of Chaos, because the requirement for the number of Dao rules that needed to be comprehended and thoroughly understood was simply too terrifying.

But Lin Yuan?

Under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, comprehending numerous Dao rules was not much different from eating and drinking, metaphorically speaking.

Especially in this Origin World, through the Blazing Sun Seed, Lin Yuan's rule comprehension amplitude was greatly enhanced, allowing him to more clearly perceive countless rule fluctuations and thereby comprehend and thoroughly understand them.

"The help this Origin World has brought me is simply too immense."

Lin Yuan's expression carried a hint of emotion. Without this Origin World, relying solely on Cultivation in the Chaos Void, Lin Yuan estimated he would have taken many detours.

"If a single Origin World is like this, then the remaining thirty-two Origin Worlds…"

Lin Yuan's heart fluttered with excitement.

Deep within the Gate of Myriad Realms, there are thirty-three Origin World coordinates recorded.

This also represents thirty-three Origin Worlds.

"Forget it."

"Descending into this Origin World has already consumed a small half of my mental will. Exploring yet another Origin World would place too heavy a burden on my true body, causing noticeable impacts."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

After stepping into the Twelfth Order, Lin Yuan's essence of life underwent a transformation. Continuing to shuttle no longer required him to immerse all his mental focus like the previous dozen-plus shuttles.

However, it still placed a burden on his mental will, requiring him to divide off a small portion of it.

For the true body in the Chaos Void, simply dividing off a small portion of his mental will to explore an Origin World would not cause any significant impact on himself.

But to expend another small portion of his mental will to explore a second Origin World would be equivalent to leaving only a small portion of mental will within the true body.

The consequences of doing so would be all-encompassing, such as a drop in strength, reduced comprehension speed and efficiency, and so on.

Exploring an Origin World is not as simple as condensing an Incarnation, which only requires a trace of mental will. Worlds of two different dimensions are separated by infinite spacetime dimensions; even with the Gate of Myriad Realms acting as an 'intermediary', a sufficient amount of mental will is needed to maintain the connection.

"Let us explore them one by one."

Lin Yuan knew that haste makes waste. Anyway, the coordinates of the thirty-three Origin Worlds were all right there, waiting until he completely finished exploring this Origin World.

Or rather, once the exploration of this Origin World reached a certain Bottleneck, he could consider taking back this portion of his mental will to explore the subsequent Origin Worlds.

"Nurtured over a thousand years, my seventh physical Divine Ability is almost complete."

Lin Yuan felt the power of the origin continuously interweaving and gathering in the deepest part of his Bloodline. At this moment, all the power of the origin faintly formed an incomparably complex imprint, similar to that blazing sun above the firmament.

"This physical Divine Ability took me such a long time, I wonder what kind it will be."

Anticipation appeared on Lin Yuan's face. The physical Divine Ability awakened through the Martial Dao Evolution path depended on the fundamental power deep within one's own Bloodline.

This Physical Body of Lin Yuan's originated from the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, and flowing within his body was the ancestor's Bloodline—this was a Thirteenth Order Bloodline.

The physical Divine Ability awakened from this would most likely be related to the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, perhaps even being the innate methods he possessed.

The innate methods possessed by a Thirteenth Order lifeform? Even when reaching Lin Yuan, due to many aspects such as limitations in life level, the power displayed would be greatly reduced.

Still, it originated from a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform.

Most importantly, as long as it was an awakened physical Divine Ability, Lin Yuan could make it applicable to the Chaos Void and other worlds by thoroughly comprehending it.

"The innate talent of a Thirteenth Order lifeform."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel thrilled. Through the talent of a Thirteenth Order lifeform, he could completely perceive the essence of Time Lifeforms at this level.

Back then, the Moyu Tower Master and other Peerless Great Saints paid an infinite price in painstaking effort to hunt down a spectacle lifeform with a dense time Bloodline—what was it all for?

Wasn't it precisely to try and touch upon the subtle information of the Thirteenth Order through its Bloodline?

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, achieved it in one step, directly condensing the talent originating from a Thirteenth Order lifeform.

"Right now, my Physical Body, Soul, internal Universe, and other aspects have all grown to the extreme. I can completely step into the Sovereign Realm."

With a slight movement of Lin Yuan's mind, he began to step into the Sovereign Realm.

Of course, that meant only this current Physical Body was stepping into the Sovereign Realm. As for the true body in the Chaos Void? He still planned to play it safe.

After this Physical Body completely stepped into the Sovereign Realm, he would make the Breakthrough over there.

With Lin Yuan's Foundation and accumulation, Proving Dao to become a Dominator was a completely natural progression, without any unexpected variables.

But since there was a safer way, why not use it?

He could discard this Physical Body in the Origin World, but unless it was an absolute last resort, Lin Yuan was still unwilling to discard his true body in the Chaos Void.

In the extreme event that something went wrong while Proving Dao to enter the Dominator realm, having the Origin World's Physical Body scout the path would make Lin Yuan much more composed.

"Hmm… both the Physical Body and Soul are beginning to transform."

Lin Yuan carefully perceived every subtle change within himself while simultaneously regulating it, making the changes proceed in the direction he desired.

"In terms of Foundation and accumulation, this Physical Body is inferior to my true body."

Lin Yuan evaluated objectively. His true body in the Chaos Void had endured a total of three infusions from the Chaotic Void Origin, and the blessing and impact on his internal Universe could be described as unprecedented.

Yet in this Origin World, there was no such 'perk'. However, the Blazing Sun Divine Body and the Blazing Sun Seed brought Lin Yuan benefits that were almost no less than those of his true body.

City Lord's Mansion.

The auras of various Great Venerables permeated the air. Over the past thousand years, the situation between the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain had grown increasingly tense. Both sides had mobilized multiple Great Venerable-level Experts, ready to enter battle at any moment.

The capital of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom paid close attention to the Azure Ember Domain and the Purple Dream Domain. A titled royalty member had personally stepped down to lead this war, and most of the Great Venerables gathered here at this moment had been mobilized through that titled royalty member.

"Yu Yan, you're here." Qing Fen Marquis greeted Lin Yuan, who was condensing his form.

"Mm."

Lin Yuan nodded.

So many Great Venerables had come; if he, as a Disciple of Qing Fen Marquis, didn't even show his face, it would be somewhat discourteous.

However, Lin Yuan had only sent his Primordial Spirit over this time. As for his true body? It was still in seclusion at the Burning Heaven Courtyard, perceiving the minute changes during the process of stepping into the Sovereign Realm.

Lin Yuan's two Primordial Spirits were converted using the "Illusory Reality" secret art, making it impossible for outsiders to tell them apart.

The other Great Venerables present also looked at Lin Yuan, nodding slightly with goodwill.

Being Great Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, they naturally wouldn't engage in internal friction when facing a war against a hostile Ancient Kingdom. Most of the Great Venerables who could appear here had good relations with Qing Fen Marquis.

The titled royalty member of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom coordinating from the center wouldn't transfer over any Great Venerables who had a grudge against Qing Fen Marquis.

"Red Leaf Great Venerable."

Lin Yuan sat beside Red Leaf Great Venerable. This was also one of the few Great Venerables he had interacted with.

Over a thousand years ago, the two had traded once. Lin Yuan had exchanged Myriad Array Crystal with Red Leaf Great Venerable for a large amount of cultivation resources.

Red Leaf Great Venerable possessed terrifying strength, even surpassing Qing Fen Marquis.

"The war is probably going to start soon." Red Leaf Great Venerable had a good impression of Lin Yuan and said with a hint of emotion in his tone.

He was not a titled marquis of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom, and being able to appear here was entirely due to the invitation of Qing Fen Marquis.

"Indeed, the Purple Dream Domain side should be almost ready." Lin Yuan nodded.

Over the past thousand years, he had poured nearly all his mental energy into secluded cultivation, but he also roughly understood the situation of the two major Domains.

After a thousand years of preparation, a massive number of Experts had gathered in the Purple Dream Domain. Of course, the same applied to the Azure Ember Domain. Both sides were already poised for action, depending on who would break the current fragile balance first.

"Later, we will make a trip to the border."

Qing Fen Marquis said, sitting in the primary seat. Going to the border was mainly to see how many Great Venerables had arrived from the Purple Dream Domain and to get familiar with them in advance.

The various Great Venerables present chatted casually for a moment. Lin Yuan mostly listened from the side while observing the numerous Great Venerables.

These Great Venerables had all evolved their own unique power paths from Chaos. Observing them secretly often gave Lin Yuan some gains.

Previously, Lin Yuan had spent most of his time in that crimson-red world observing the figure of the Fiery Sun First Ancestor, but the information contained within that figure was too vast and too magnificent.

Occasionally observing these Great Venerables was also an alternative experience for Lin Yuan.

"Most Great Venerables of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom walk the path of Chaos Fire."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. A small minority, like Red Leaf Great Venerable, had comprehended the path of Chaos Life in addition to Chaos Fire.

This was also quite normal; after all, given the environment of the Blazing Sun Ancient Kingdom itself, the blazing sun fire mastered by the ancestor had far too great an impact on all living beings within the Ancient Kingdom.

A moment later.

Led by Qing Fen Marquis, all the Great Venerables present arrived at the border of the Azure Ember Domain.

Azure Ember City had a spacetime passage leading directly to the border. This was also to prevent a sudden outbreak of war by the Purple Dream Domain, which would leave the numerous Great Venerables of the Azure Ember Domain unable to provide timely support.

"This is?"

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He had previously visited the border region of the two major Domains. However, compared to right now, the current border region gave Lin Yuan a completely different feeling.
