Creating Heavenly Laws - Chapter 254
In an underground world spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, exuding a terrifying aura that caused the space around him to distort slightly.
“The Martial Way’s eighth-rank chapter has reached the second stage,” Lin Yuan restrained his aura and nodded in satisfaction. “The Immortal Dao techniques indeed play a good role in perfecting the eighth-rank chapter.”
“However, starting from the second stage of the eighth-rank chapter, the difficulty of development begins to soar. But with Unrivaled Insight, it’s just a matter of time and effort.”
In Lin Yuan’s plan, the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Way consisted of four stages, similar to the eighth-rank chapters of most evolution paths in the main world.
But in terms of specific cultivation content, Lin Yuan had done his utmost with his current capabilities. If it were just to create an ordinary eighth-rank evolution path, it wouldn’t have required such painstaking effort.
But the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Way was a crucial stage in Lin Yuan’s cultivation, so he couldn’t afford to be careless.
“My current realm has also naturally advanced to the second stage of the eighth rank.”
If it weren’t for his exposure to the Immortal Dao cultivation system and other cultivation systems in the Spirit Realm, which allowed Lin Yuan to repeatedly reshape the Martial Way’s evolution path, he would have reached this level decades earlier.
“However, when I returned to the eighth rank, I didn’t re-experience the Heart Demon tribulation, nor did I undergo the body tribulation that Tribulation Immortal Kings need to face.”
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.
He speculated that the absence of the body tribulation was because it targeted Immortal Dao practitioners.
Although Lin Yuan had borrowed a lot from the essence of the Immortal Dao cultivation system, his foundation remained the Martial Way’s evolution path, so he didn’t need to face the body tribulation that Immortal Dao practitioners did.
As for the Heart Demon tribulation, Lin Yuan believed his mind and will had long since transformed and no longer needed to experience it again.
“I have over nine hundred years of residence time, and only a hundred years have passed so far. I still have ample time to perfect the next three stages of the eighth-rank chapter.”
Lin Yuan was quite confident about this.
“Once the eighth-rank chapter is perfected, the Martial Way’s evolution path will become an eighth-rank evolution path. It will probably rank highly among all eighth-rank evolution paths in human history.”
Lin Yuan stood up, walked out of the underground world, and came to the surface.
This underground world was discovered by Lin Yuan by chance over ninety years ago, probably a relic of some ancient sect.
Later, Lin Yuan transformed it into a place for his regular cultivation.
“Space.”
Lin Yuan took a step, following the fluctuations of space, and almost instantly arrived outside Xiaoyao City.
The underground world where Lin Yuan cultivated was at least tens of millions of miles away from Xiaoyao City, but with his mastery of spatial rules, it was just a single step away.
Over the past century, besides restoring his strength and perfecting the eighth-rank chapter of the Martial Way, Lin Yuan had never given up on comprehending the rules of space.
Currently, Lin Yuan had comprehended over four thousand core spatial models, and his internal world had expanded to a size of four million miles in diameter.
This four million miles in diameter was purely the size of his internal world, fully supported by spatial rules.
It had not been amplified by that mysterious gourd from the main world.
Based on the fivefold basic amplification before transmigrating, Lin Yuan’s internal world should now be twenty million miles in diameter.
A twenty million miles in diameter internal world far exceeded the human evolvers’ upper limit of ten million miles for internal worlds.
The world power born from such a vast internal world could probably rival the power of an invincible eighth-rank for several moves.
“I can bring that mysterious gourd over now.” Lin Yuan thought silently as he walked into Xiaoyao City.
A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan’s strength was insufficient, so he didn’t bring that mysterious gourd over, fearing any unforeseen incidents.
But now? Even when facing the Tribulation Immortal Kings overlooking the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan was fearless.
“This time, the reformed physical divine ability…”
Lin Yuan’s thoughts turned to the sixth-rank chapter of the Martial Way, which condenses physical divine abilities from the bloodline.
Different physiques and bloodlines naturally produce different physical divine abilities.
In the Immortal World, Lin Yuan’s physical divine ability was ‘Blood Rebirth.’
On his true body in the main world, Lin Yuan’s physical divine ability was ‘Moving Mountains.’
And now, on his physical body in the Spirit Realm after the eighth transmigration, Lin Yuan’s condensed physical divine ability was ‘Enhancement.’
Once the ‘Enhancement’ divine ability was activated, everything about Lin Yuan—his physical body, blood, soul, mind, and will—would increase tenfold.
Even the world power within his internal world would be amplified tenfold.
Although the ‘Enhancement’ divine ability didn’t last long, only for ten breaths, and Lin Yuan’s strength would weaken by about two or three tenths after the divine ability ended.
But undoubtedly, this divine ability was definitely a trump card.
In a battle between strong opponents, an instant could decide victory or defeat, let alone ten breaths?
Moreover, the tenfold increase in physical body, blood, soul, mind, and will would affect his strength far more than just tenfold.
With this divine ability, even an ordinary peak eighth-rank evolver could challenge an invincible eighth-rank.
Of course, it could only challenge an invincible eighth-rank during the divine ability’s duration, but it was still remarkable, almost like a substitute for the power of the universe.
The most crucial point was that the ‘Enhancement’ divine ability would become more useful as his strength grew. An eighth-rank peak could use this divine ability to match an invincible eighth-rank for ten breaths.
What about a ninth-rank evolver?
“In the upcoming time, besides perfecting the Martial Way’s evolution path, the primary task is to comprehend this divine ability and condense the divine ability mark.”
Lin Yuan had a plan in mind.
Only by condensing the divine ability mark could he bring this divine ability back to the main world. He remembered it took him fifty years to comprehend the ‘Blood Rebirth’ divine ability mark.
As for the ‘Moving Mountains’ divine ability, the time in the main world was too short, and Lin Yuan had yet to comprehend the ‘Moving Mountains’ divine ability mark.
Returning to the Martial Temple.
Shortly after.
Several Supreme Elders came over.
“Elders.”
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Over the past century, the Supreme Elders of the Martial Temple had treated Lin Yuan well, almost grooming him as the future of the Martial Temple.
If it weren’t for the Martial Temple’s support in the early stages, Lin Yuan would have reached his current level eventually, but it would have taken much more time.
Immortal Dao practitioners need resources.
Martial Way practitioners also need resources.
Especially at the sixth and seventh ranks, opening up the internal world consumes resources like mountains and seas.
“Chang’er, this is the Immortal Dao technique you wanted.” The Grand Supreme Elder took out several jade slips, and a trace of involuntary awe appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan.
As early as seventy or eighty years ago, the Supreme Elders could no longer see through Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had already browsed through all the countless Martial Way books collected by the Martial Temple. Although they hadn’t directly fought, every time they interacted closely with Lin Yuan, they felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation.
This feeling disappeared sixty years ago, but they didn’t dare to underestimate Lin Yuan.
They only felt that Lin Yuan might have reached the level of returning to simplicity. The seventh-rank Martial Ancestors were like this.
Unless they intentionally revealed their aura, they looked no different from ordinary people.
“The Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture, the core technique of the Supreme Immortal Sect?” Lin Yuan became interested.
In recent decades, Lin Yuan had asked the Supreme Elders to collect Immortal Dao techniques as much as possible.
Although the Supreme Elders didn’t understand why a Martial Way practitioner like Lin Yuan needed Immortal Dao techniques.
But Lin Yuan’s displayed talent was so terrifying that they had no doubts.
Lin Yuan quickly browsed through the ‘Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture’ and nodded slightly.
“Although it ends after the Divine Transformation Stage (5th rank), the Supreme Immortal King, who created this scripture, did indeed produce something valuable.”
Lin Yuan’s tone was slightly admiring.
Even among Tribulation Immortal Kings, there are levels, and Supreme Immortal Kings are top-tier among them. Lin Yuan guessed that Supreme Immortal Kings might correspond to the invincible eighth-rank in the main world.
“The Supreme Immortal Sect had intended to spread the Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture and allow other cultivators to practice it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have obtained it.”
The Grand Supreme Elder nodded.
The Supreme Immortal Sect’s purpose was clear—to search the three thousand states for suitable Immortal Dao talents to practice the Supreme Jade Purity Immortal Scripture.
The scattered Immortal Scripture only included the Qi Refining Stage to the Divine Transformation Stage.
Even if a free Immortal Dao practitioner managed to get started, the only way to progress further was to go to the Supreme Immortal Sect.
“Chang’er…”
The Grand Supreme Elder hesitated for a while but finally asked.
“What is your current realm? The seventh rank of the Martial Way?”
The Grand Supreme Elder asked cautiously.
Reaching the seventh rank of the Martial Way in just a hundred years was something the Grand Supreme Elder couldn’t believe before.
But Lin Yuan’s performance over the past century had made the Supreme Elders consider this possibility.
They were all at the sixth rank of the Martial Way, and to give them such an oppressive feeling, Lin Yuan was likely at the seventh rank.
“My current realm?”
Lin Yuan smiled slightly.
The other Supreme Elders also instinctively pricked up their ears.
They were also curious about Lin Yuan’s current strength.
“No.”
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Sixty years ago, he was no longer at the seventh rank of the Martial Way.
“Not the seventh rank?” The Grand Supreme Elder breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a complex mix of emotions.
He hoped Lin Yuan was at the seventh rank because it would mean the Martial Way’s evolution path had produced another seventh-rank ancestor, and the Martial Temple’s influence would further expand.
But rationally, the Grand Supreme Elder didn’t believe that Lin Yuan could reach the seventh rank in just a hundred years; it was too unbelievable.
Now, with Lin Yuan’s confirmation, the Supreme Elders had no more doubts.
From beginning to end.
Neither the Grand Supreme Elder nor the other Supreme Elders had considered that Lin Yuan might be at the eighth rank of the Martial Way.
Because it was simply absurd. Since the Martial Way’s evolution path was created, the strongest had been at the seventh rank, equivalent to the Dao Fusion level of the Immortal Dao.
The eighth rank of the Martial Way? Even the legendary Martial Ancestor had never reached it, let alone someone like Lin Yuan, who had only cultivated for a hundred years.
“Not the seventh rank, then it’s the sixth rank.”
“Reaching the sixth rank in a hundred years, such cultivation speed is unprecedented in our Martial Temple’s history.” The Grand Supreme Elder thought silently.
In hundreds of thousands of years, countless Martial Way geniuses had flashed across the sky, but none had reached the sixth rank in just a hundred years.
The sixth rank of the Martial Way corresponds to the Ancient Saint of the Void Refinement stage in the Immortal Dao. A hundred-year Void Refinement Ancient Saint is only something that those monstrous talents and Immortal King seeds in the Immortal Dao could hope to achieve.
After the Supreme Elders left.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his cave.
“My current strength…” Lin Yuan began to examine himself. With his various means, even without the amplification of an internal world exceeding ten million miles, his combat power was close to invincible at the eighth rank.
If he used the ‘Enhancement’ divine ability, for ten breaths, Lin Yuan’s combat power would likely surpass the invincible eighth rank by a considerable margin.
“I still don’t know what the power of creation wielded by Immortal King-level experts is exactly.” Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Through years of understanding, Lin Yuan roughly determined that Tribulation Immortal Kings didn’t have an internal world.
They relied on the power of creation. Ordinary Immortals wield part of the power of creation, while Supreme Immortal Kings wield the complete power of creation.
“Unfortunately, there are no Immortal King-level experts in Dongyun Dao State.”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Even among the three thousand Dao states, Immortal King-level experts were extremely rare. At least, there were none in Dongyun Dao State.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan would likely seek out one or two Immortal Kings for a test.
As for beyond Dongyun Dao State, the distance was too great. Even with Lin Yuan’s mastery of spatial rules, allowing him to traverse millions or tens of millions of miles in one step, reaching the next Dao state would still take a considerable amount of time.
With that time, Lin Yuan might as well spend more time in seclusion.
As for finding Tribulation Immortal Kings in other Dao states, it was uncertain whether he could even find them.
“I can bring that gourd over now.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself. With his current strength, he was invincible within the Dongyun Dao State. Even if there were hidden Tribulation Immortal Kings, they would probably be no match for Lin Yuan.
So he now had the power to protect that mysterious gourd.
Buzz.
With this in mind.
Lin Yuan’s mind sank into the depths of his consciousness.
Looking at the majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms.
“Transmigrating dimensions, crossing latitudes, it’s unimaginable.”
Even after watching the Gate of the Myriad Realms more than once, Lin Yuan still felt a sense of awe.
When he first became an evolver, Lin Yuan looked at the Gate of the Myriad Realms and felt its grandeur and vastness. But now, he saw it as a colossal entity spanning infinite worlds.
“In the past hundred years, everything in the main world has been normal, with nothing significant happening.”
Lin Yuan sensed the environment of his true body in the main world through the Gate of the Myriad Realms.
“Let’s begin.”
Lin Yuan’s mind moved, consuming a strand of Boundary-Breaking Source Power to start transporting the mysterious gourd from the main world to this place.
Clatter.
At the center of the Gate of the Myriad Realms, spatial fluctuations faintly appeared.
These spatial fluctuations were profound and far-reaching, exuding endless mystery.
Lin Yuan carefully sensed this method of trans-dimensional transmission. With his Unrivaled Insight, he might comprehend something new by sensing it a bit longer.
Moments later.
The spatial fluctuations gradually subsided.
A gray-yellow gourd slowly emerged.
Landing in Lin Yuan’s hand.
