Chapter 51

Last time, Lu Qingyang activated the All-Seeing Vision to investigate but did not achieve his goal.

This time, upon activating the All-Seeing Vision again, he managed to reveal the true nature of the mysterious entity clashing with his world's Heavenly Dao.

However,

In terms of cultivation level, both his Heavenly Dao's will and the opposing Heavenly Dao's will appeared in a chaotic and indistinct state.

This situation was unprecedented for Lu Qingyang.

It was evident.

The All-Seeing Vision was not ineffective against the Heavenly Dao's will. It was simply that Lu Qingyang had not previously touched the essence of the Heavenly Dao's will, as if observing a flower in the fog, preventing him from fully utilizing this supreme divine power.

Now that Lu Qingyang's soul had broken through, piercing that invisible barrier, he could truly harness the All-Seeing Vision.

However,

Both Heavenly Dao wills appeared as question marks, indicating that their powers had surpassed the range that the All-Seeing Vision could perceive.

Undoubtedly,

This result was the worst possible scenario.

The level of the Heavenly Dao's will was too high, having exceeded the peak of the seventh tier, reaching at least the seventh heaven's peak.

It was even likely that they had surpassed the seventh tier, reaching the legendary eighth or even higher tiers.

Whether it was the seventh heaven's peak or the eighth and ninth tiers, they were beyond Lu Qingyang's current ability to contend with.

With his peak fourth-tier cultivation, even with the supreme divine powers of the immortal wood spiritual root, he could not compete with an entity at the very least of the seventh heaven's peak.

Moreover,

Lu Qingyang could not fathom the depth of the Heavenly Dao's will's background.

It was possible that the supreme divine power of the immortal wood spiritual root might not hold an advantage against the Heavenly Dao's will, which was not an impossible scenario.

"Being three major realms apart, it truly is an extreme challenge!"

However—

For Lu Qingyang at the moment, the primary task was still to break through to the peak of the fourth tier.

If he could advance further to the fifth tier, perhaps he might awaken some formidable innate divine power.

...

Just as Lu Qingyang stopped focusing on the matter of the Heavenly Dao's will, the Celestial Court chat group was already in an uproar.

The reason was simple.

The opening of the fourth-tier marketplace had invigorated the spirits of many third-tier cultivators, making them excited and passionate.

Since the appearance of the third-tier marketplace, five or six years had passed without the opening of the fourth-tier marketplace, causing some to waver in their belief, doubting whether the Celestial Court chat group could truly open the fourth-tier marketplace.

Even the announcement from the master of the Celestial Court chat group two years ago did not convince everyone.

Until now.

The appearance of the fourth-tier marketplace shattered all rumors.

"The fourth-tier marketplace has finally appeared. I can now exchange for fourth-tier techniques, break through the golden core barrier, and climb to higher levels!"

In a majestic pavilion, Lin Lin stood by the window, overlooking the bustling scenery below, with an excited smile on his face.

Compared to a few years ago, Lin Lin's status and position had significantly elevated.

Over the years, with his exceptional talent, Lin Lin had stood out among many cultivators, breaking through to the peak of the third tier two years ago, becoming one of the top cultivators of his time.

Following this,

Lin Lin, with his extraordinary strength and by gathering a portion of the scattered cultivators, founded the Qingyang Sect, quickly becoming a top force outside the Cultivator Alliance.

After all, a peak third-tier cultivator could dominate a region, and the force he founded would naturally not be weak.

Lin Lin's initial purpose for founding the Qingyang Sect was to hunt demons and evil spirits more efficiently and to enjoy the many benefits of establishing a force.

At the same time,

It was also to facilitate the search for the elusive foreign passages and to prepare for the possible appearance of a second Celestial Court mission.

Unfortunately,

To this day, the Qingyang Sect had not found any foreign passages. However, as the Qingyang Sect grew stronger, the number of monsters slain by them increased.

For Lin Lin, the belief in avenging his parents and exterminating all monsters never wavered.

"Currently, the strongest monsters are only at the mid-fourth tier. Whether any peak fourth-tier monsters exist is still unknown."

"Once I break through to the fourth tier, the Qingyang Sect will launch an offensive and eradicate all these evil creatures!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Lin's eyes, and he then focused his attention on the Celestial Court chat group.

He paid little attention to the continuous flow of conversations in the group and directly opened the Celestial Court marketplace, looking at the newly appeared fourth-tier marketplace.

Compared to other treasure troves, the items in the fourth-tier marketplace were much sparser.

Lin Lin didn't mind this. As long as there were fourth-tier techniques, it was already precious enough.

Soon,

Lin Lin's gaze locked onto a technique.

Divine Thunder Technique!

A top-tier fourth-tier technique!

The exchange required a whopping five million contribution points!

"Five million contributions..."

Lin Lin couldn't help but shake his head.

Even after founding the Qingyang Sect, five million contributions were still an astronomical figure for him.

Despite his desire for the top-tier fourth-tier technique, the required contribution points made him step back, ultimately opting for an ordinary lower-tier fourth-tier technique.

Although a lower-tier fourth-tier technique couldn't compare to a top-tier one, it still required a million contribution points.

After exchanging, Lin Lin's remaining contribution points were instantly zero.

Immediately,

A torrent of related information poured into his sea of consciousness, giving him a clear understanding of the fourth heaven.

"So... after the Golden Core is the Nascent Soul!"

"Breaking the core to form a soul, one can step into the fourth tier!"

Lin Lin murmured.

In the orthodox path of cultivation, the first heaven is Qi Refining.

The second heaven is Foundation Establishment, and the third heaven is the Golden Core.

Now the fourth tier is the Nascent Soul.

Having clarified the cultivation path after the Golden Core, Lin Lin immediately activated a communication talisman.

Before the other party could speak, he quickly said.

"Starting tomorrow, I will enter seclusion for some time. Before I emerge, the Qingyang Sect should avoid major conflicts with other forces."

"All matters will be discussed after I emerge from seclusion."

After speaking, Lin Lin ended the communication.

At this moment, with the appearance of the fourth-tier marketplace, all peak third-tier cultivators should be preparing to break through to the fourth tier.

It was foreseeable that whoever could break through to the fourth tier first would hold absolute authority.

Although unity was necessary when facing monsters, where in the human world was there no conflict?

The alliance also had many internal conflicts.

The rise of the Qingyang Sect caused dissatisfaction among the alliance's military and many smaller forces, leading to frequent friction.

At this time, Lin Lin had to break through to the fourth tier as soon as possible; otherwise, the Qingyang Sect would be in trouble.

Therefore,

After exchanging for a fourth-tier technique, Lin Lin decided to enter seclusion for cultivation. Everything else was secondary to him breaking into the fourth tier.
