Chapter 251: Radiance of the Martial Ancestor (Subscribe)

In a daze.

When Lin Yuan regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a bed.

"It's human." Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

With the experience of the sixth shuttle, Lin Yuan realized that—

The carrier for his shuffling might not necessarily be human; it could be other races or beings.

Although being another life form wasn't necessarily bad, being human was preferable for Lin Yuan.

If he shuffled into some special life form, he might not even be able to cultivate martial arts.

"My current situation."

Lin Yuan began to browse through the memories of his "original body."

He had successfully arrived in the Spirit Realm and was currently in the Eastern Cloud Province, in the Profound King Domain, inside the Xiaoyao City.

"Eastern Cloud Province, Profound King Domain?"

Basic information about the Spirit Realm floated into Lin Yuan's mind.

All of this was learned from the Morality Immortal Sect. The Spirit Realm was vast and endless, with the most prosperous regions containing three thousand Daoist States.

And the Eastern Cloud Province was one of these three thousand Daoist States.

The Eastern Cloud Province encompassed over twenty thousand large domains, with the Profound King Domain being one of them.

"Profound King Domain."

Lin Yuan pondered.

If he remembered correctly, the Morality Immortal Sect was located in the Profound King Domain and was one of the three giants in this domain.

"I didn't expect to start like this."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Morality Immortal Sect here was naturally the power established by the patriarchs of the Morality Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm of the Midland Divine Continent.

"Xiaoyao City."

Lin Yuan's expression was strange. In the memories of the "original body," Xiaoyao City had another name.

Wuzu City.

It was a city designated by a certain figure in the Morality Immortal Sect.

The cultivators in Wuzu City did not cultivate using the external Immortal Dao cultivation system but rather the martial path cultivation system.

"Martial arts?"

Lin Yuan could almost be certain that the martial arts here were the same as the martial arts he had spread in the Midland Divine Continent.

In the transaction with the Azure Immortal, Lin Yuan proposed that if the martial cultivators in the future Midland World could reach the sixth stage, they could also ascend to the Spirit Realm using the Ascension Platform.

Now it seemed that the Azure Immortal had probably kept his promise.

"At least several hundred thousand years have passed."

Lin Yuan silently thought.

After the sixth shuttle, he had experienced the seventh shuttle and had cultivated in the main world for a while.

Although it didn't add up to more than thirty years, these were thirty years in the main world. Given the vast difference in the flow of time between the two realms, the Midland Divine Continent had likely passed hundreds of thousands of years.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for there to be a sixth-stage martial cultivator or for them to ascend to the Spirit Realm and establish Xiaoyao City.

"Xiaoyao City. Wuzu City."

Lin Yuan's expression was strange. During the sixth shuttle, he had spread martial arts and was hailed as the ancestor of martial arts in the world. Combined with his name, Jun Xiaoyao.

Lin Yuan speculated that this Xiaoyao City might have been established by the disciples he had taken in back then.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

"I wonder if I can still see those old acquaintances." Lin Yuan's thoughts diverged. According to his arrangements before leaving, it wouldn't be difficult for his parents, elder brother, and elder sister to reach the sixth stage.

It was very likely that they had also ascended to the Spirit Realm.

It's just that he didn't know if they were still alive. With just the sixth stage, which was the Refining Void stage, it wasn't guaranteed they could live for hundreds of thousands of years.

"My current identity is the young master of the Lin Family, and the Lin Family is a well-known family in Xiaoyao City."

Lin Yuan sat up from the bed, taking a deep breath.

"Such abundant spiritual energy."

Lin Yuan sighed slightly. Near Xiaoyao City, there were no spiritual veins because the majority of cultivators there practiced martial arts, not Daoist cultivation. Unlike Daoist cultivators, who heavily relied on spiritual veins, martial cultivators didn't necessarily require them. However, even so, the concentration of spiritual energy Lin Yuan felt was no less than that of the Moral Immortal Mountain, which held the largest spiritual vein in the Midland Divine Continent.

"No wonder those ancient martial saints eagerly sought to ascend to the Spirit Realm for such a cultivation environment."

Lin Yuan shook his head. This was just Xiaoyao City; if he were in some of the more prestigious cultivation sanctuaries, the concentration of spiritual energy would be even higher. It might even undergo a transformation, evolving into a higher-level energy known as "immortal energy," a concept only existing in legends of the Midland Divine Continent.

"My current body is also cultivating martial arts?" Lin Yuan carefully sensed his own body and came to the conclusion. Unlike the Daoist cultivation system, which required spiritual roots to begin training, most beings in the Spirit Realm still lacked spiritual roots, and even those who possessed them often had low-quality ones. Even if they reluctantly reached the Qi Refining stage, they would likely plateau at Foundation Building. This is where Xiaoyao City came into play. The martial arts cultivation system did not require spiritual roots; as long as one had sufficient vitality, they could cultivate. This provided hope for many ordinary people without spiritual roots. Even some cultivators with low-quality spiritual roots, when they discovered their talent in martial arts, would switch to martial cultivation. In general, the martial arts cultivation system nowadays is just a relatively niche cultivation system, mostly circulating within the Profound King Domain. Beyond the Profound King Domain, hardly anyone knows about it. This is quite normal. Although the martial arts cultivation system does not require spiritual roots, its ceiling is far inferior to the Daoist cultivation system. Generally, aspiring cultivators would prefer the Daoist path. Only when they find that they have no hope in Daoist cultivation would they consider martial arts. Who would choose martial arts over immortality?

"When I left, I left behind twelve ways to break through to the seventh stage of martial arts. These methods are not perfect and are difficult to compete with the Daoist path in terms of cultivating the combined path."

Lin Yuan silently thought. The seventh stage he currently cultivated was a perfect seventh stage he comprehended in the main world. It was much stronger than the twelve seventh-stage paths he left behind in the Midland Divine Continent. Even so, the seventh stage is the limit of the martial arts path, and compared to the infinitely potential Daoist cultivation system, it naturally pales in comparison.

"Xiaoyao City is protected by the Moral Immortal Sect. Currently, there are many families in the city, but the most powerful is the 'Martial Temple'."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The Martial Temple is a sacred place in Xiaoyao City, said to be related to the Martial Ancestor. At the beginning of Xiaoyao City's establishment, several seventh-stage martial cultivators joined forces to establish the Martial Temple to promote the martial arts cultivation system, a tradition that continues to this day. If it weren't for the Martial Temple's foundation, constantly nurturing martial cultivators, it's uncertain whether the martial arts cultivation system would even exist now.

"The first thing I need to do now is to increase my strength." Lin Yuan's thoughts converged. Although this body also cultivated martial arts, its realm was too low. Even now, it hadn't even reached the Master realm, let alone the Second Stage. There was still a long way to go to complete the First Stage.

After practicing for a while, correcting many mistakes in the original body's cultivation, Lin Yuan walked out of the room. Unlike Daoist cultivation, which requires an abundance of spiritual energy, martial arts cultivation also requires resources. On the contrary, martial arts demand a lot of resources, especially at the sixth stage, where one needs to open up an inner world, consuming resources akin to mountains and seas. Of course, Lin Yuan's path to the Perfect Seventh Stage, which peaked at the Sixth Stage, was established by him. Now, the martial arts cultivation system in the Spirit Realm remains at the Seventh Stage. Without Lin Yuan's subsequent contributions, it's fortunate that it even persists. The Spirit Realm is vast, with the Daoist cultivation system dominating, while many other cultivation systems coexist. The existence of martial arts is not prominent.

Lin Yuan was soon spotted by a maid as he stepped out of the courtyard.

"Young Master, you're awake?" This maid had the cultivation level of the Foundation Building stage and was cultivated under the Lin family since childhood. Even though the Lin family, rooted in Xiaoyao City, outwardly valued Daoist cultivation more, deep down, they still attached more importance to it. Soon.

Lin Yuan's parents hurried over.

"Chang'er, are you alright?" A beautiful woman approached, carefully examining Lin Yuan with a happy expression. "How do you feel now?"

"Okay," Lin Yuan nodded.

In his memory, the original owner of this body was deeply passionate about the martial arts cultivation system. Unfortunately, due to seeking quick results and instant benefits, problems arose during cultivation, leading to a coma. It was through this that Lin Yuan's consciousness gradually recovered.

"Chang'er, you have spiritual roots. Even if it's just three spiritual roots, you can still cultivate the Daoist path. Why focus all your attention on martial arts?"

The original owner's father was named Lin Jianping, who had built the Lin family from scratch and was considered a model of success in Xiaoyao City. The Lin family had over ten branches in Xiaoyao City, and Lin Jianping, being well-informed, knew that the advantages of the Daoist cultivation system far outweighed those of the martial arts system.

Outside the Profound King Domain, among the three thousand Daoist states, the real stage was dominated by the celestial geniuses who practiced the Daoist cultivation system. Lin Jianping didn't have high expectations for his son, but he hoped he wouldn't suffer from the hardships of martial arts cultivation. Cultivating martial arts required tempering the body and blood, which was definitely more torturous than cultivating the Daoist path.

"I like martial arts," Lin Yuan said casually.

That was also the original owner's mindset. Now that Lin Yuan's consciousness had recovered, he had no doubts about cultivating martial arts. As for the Daoist path, he could learn from it later, but his foundation definitely lay in martial arts.

"You like martial arts?" Lin Jianping frowned.

His son was good in every aspect, extremely sensible since childhood, but very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it. Most martial cultivators didn't have spiritual roots or had very low-quality ones, so they had no choice but to choose martial cultivation. But Lin Yuan? Although his talent with three spiritual roots wasn't considered strong, it wasn't weak either. With good luck, he had every chance of reaching the Golden Core stage.

"Ada."

Lin Jianping raised his right hand, and a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Take some of those hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old Lingzhi mushrooms, Baiyu Ginseng, and other spiritual herbs from the major branches and give them to Chang'er for cultivation," Lin Jianping instructed.

In the early stages of martial cultivation, the focus was on forging the body and refining qi and blood, but this stage could also be shortened with external aids.

"Yes," the figure named Ada bowed slightly.

"Ada?" Lin Yuan glanced at the figure behind Lin Jianping.

"Third Stage of martial cultivation?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In Xiaoyao City, martial cultivators were the most numerous. Although Lin Jianping was reluctant to let his son cultivate martial arts, in reality, the martial arts cultivation system still held considerable influence in the Profound King Domain. After all, there were several seventh-stage martial cultivators comparable to Daoist immortals born here.

Lin Jianping was worried that his son wouldn't understand martial cultivation and would ruin his body.

"Son, focus on your martial arts practice. Your dad will find you a master in the next few days." Lin Jianping patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and then left with the beautiful woman.

"Find a master?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment but decided not to refuse. With a previous example of fainting from martial arts practice, refusing now would probably cause his parents to worry.

Lin Jianping and the beautiful woman arrived at a hall.

The beautiful woman, Shen Zhen, gave Lin Jianping a reproachful look. "What kind of master do you want to find for Chang'er?"

In Xiaoyao City, martial cultivators were as common as fish in the river, but true martial arts masters were still rare. Martial cultivators of the Fourth Stage and above were few and far between.

"My son, Lin Jianping, wants to practice martial arts. He deserves the best," Lin Jianping pondered for a moment and made up his mind. "I intend to send Chang'er to the Martial Temple to experience the 'Divine Radiance of the Martial Ancestor'."

"Divine Radiance of the Martial Ancestor?" Shen Zhen blinked, then immediately realized, "Alright, Old Lin, you're really generous, aren't you?"

The most concentrated place for martial cultivators in Xiaoyao City is undoubtedly the Martial Temple.

As the foundation of martial cultivation, several seventh-stage martial experts who originally established the Martial Temple deliberately left behind a few strands of divine radiance to ensure the inheritance of the martial cultivation system.

These strands of divine radiance elucidated the essence of martial cultivation as understood by those seventh-stage martial experts, combined with their connection to the mysterious Martial Ancestor.

Thus, they are also referred to as the Divine Radiance of the Martial Ancestor.

The Divine Radiance of the Martial Ancestor serves two purposes: firstly, it allows the recipient to directly experience the essence understood by those seventh-stage martial experts. Secondly, it helps determine the aspect of martial cultivation that the recipient excels in.

Especially the first purpose, which is equivalent to indirect guidance from those seventh-stage martial experts.

At the seventh stage of martial cultivation, one is on par with Daoist immortals, and at this level, whether or not one is a cultivator of the Daoist path, they are influential figures in the Profound King Domain.

Of course, to enter the Martial Temple, to comprehend the Divine Radiance of the Martial Ancestor, unless one has remarkable talent and receives attention from the Martial Temple, they can only take the back door.

Taking the back door means paying an extra price to follow behind a disciple with remarkable martial talent and incidentally comprehend it.

Even so, given the scale of the Lin family, allowing Lin Yuan to experience the Divine Radiance of the Martial Ancestor once would probably cost most of the family's fortune.

This is still with the Lin family firmly rooted in Xiaoyao City for many years; otherwise, even if foreign forces wanted to take the back door, they wouldn't have the chance.

[Name: Lin Chang (Lin Yuan)]

[Identity: Guardian of the Gate of the Ten Thousand Realms]

[Bound Talent: Extraordinary Perception]

[Divine Ability: Blood Rebirth]

[Current Status: Consciousness Arrival]

[Remaining Residency Time: Nine Hundred and Twenty Years]

Inside the room, Lin Yuan glanced at the illusory text in the lower left corner.

"This residency time is nine hundred and twenty years?" Lin Yuan felt quite satisfied. With such a long time, although other things couldn't be guaranteed, reaching the eighth stage of martial cultivation should be achievable.

"I'm still too weak at the moment. To recover to the eighth stage, I'll need a large amount of resources."

Lin Yuan grabbed most of the thousand-year-old Lingzhi mushrooms and swallowed them, quickly absorbing the surging energy.

"From the first to the sixth stage, there's no need to worry. But the peak of the sixth stage? The seventh stage? Those require opening up an inner world and must rely on a large amount of resources."

In the main world, Lin Yuan consumed countless tons of 'Red Spirit Liquid' to open up his inner world.

"Never mind. Let's take it one step at a time."

Lin Yuan's thoughts converged as he continued his cultivation.

Chapter 252: I Am the Martial Ancestor, Feel What Radiance (Seeking Subscriptions)

Several days later.

Lin Yuan was still cultivating when his mother, Shen Zhen, dragged him out of the room.

"Chang'er, I'm taking you to a good place," his mother said mysteriously.

"A good place?" Lin Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

Soon, they arrived outside, where his father, Lin Jianping, had been waiting for some time, his expression grave.

"The place we're going this time is the Martial Temple," his father said.

"When you get there, Chang'er, you mustn't cause any trouble," Lin Jianping instructed.

Although the martial cultivation system didn't have as significant an impact as the Daoist cultivation system, in Xiaoyao City, the Martial Temple was the supreme authority, commanding everything.

Even in the Profound King Domain, the Martial Temple, under the banner of the Moral Immortal Sect, was one of the most powerful forces. Several seventh-stage martial experts within were no less formidable than ordinary Daoist cultivators.

"The Martial Temple?" Lin Yuan's heart stirred. He had long speculated that the Martial Temple was likely established by the disciples he had once accepted, such as Li Qing, to ensure the inheritance of the martial cultivation system.

In the center of Xiaoyao City stood the towering Xiaoyao Mountain, where the Martial Temple was located, the most central place in the entire city.

Although the most powerful within the Martial Temple was only at the sixth stage of martial cultivation, they still held enough authority to overlook the entire Xiaoyao City.

Suddenly, a spiritual ship approached.

Lin Jianping, Lin Yuan, and the others stepped out.

"The master of the Martial Temple, my son wants to enter to experience the Martial Ancestor's radiance," Lin Jianping said, presenting a token.

It was bronze-colored with the character 'Martial' written on it.

"Go ahead," the guards at the entrance of Xiaoyao Mountain glanced at the token and released the barrier.

Lin Jianping thanked them again before leading Lin Yuan and Shen Zhen inside.

"Another one taking the back door," one of the guards sneered as Lin Jianping and the others disappeared.

Since the establishment of Xiaoyao City, many people had come to experience the Martial Ancestor's radiance every once in a while.

Among these people, only a small number were invited by the Martial Temple due to their remarkable martial talent.

Most came to 'leech off' the radiance.

The higher-ups of the Martial Temple didn't interfere with this, as it not only brought in additional income but also didn't affect them personally.

After activating the Martial Ancestor's radiance, the radiance enveloped the area for a fixed period, prioritizing those disciples with extraordinary martial talent to experience it first. After they were done, it was the turn of the others.

"Even taking the back door requires strength," another guard sighed.

"Who wouldn't want the guidance of a martial expert on par with Daoist immortals?" the guard shook his head.

"I certainly would," the guard who spoke initially remained silent for a moment before speaking the truth.

Guidance from a strong individual was too important, especially the Martial Ancestor's radiance, which not only provided guidance but also determined which aspect of martial cultivation the recipient excelled in.

Xiaoyao Mountain.

Lin Yuan looked around at the immensely colossal mountain, with traces of energy permeating every inch of the air. It was clear that anyone daring to intrude would be suppressed by forces from all directions.

"It's interesting how they combine martial methods with Daoist formations," Lin Yuan remarked.

Lin Yuan only needed a glance to understand the essence of Xiaoyao Mountain.

"Chang'er, don't look around," Lin Jianping glanced at Lin Yuan and quickly reminded him.

Inside Xiaoyao Mountain, important figures from the Martial Temple would occasionally pass by. If Lin Yuan's gaze caused any trouble with one of these figures, it would be a disaster.

Following the path, they soon arrived at a teleportation array.

Xiaoyao Mountain was too vast. To reach the Martial Temple at the summit would take at least half a day, so teleportation arrays were usually found at the foot of the mountain.

Hum.

Under the guidance of the Martial Temple disciples, Lin Yuan and his group stepped into the teleportation array and instantly arrived at the summit.

"There are quite a few people here," Shen Zhen curiously looked around.

She noticed many people gathered in small groups, conversing quietly. Nearby, a huge wall stood, which was where the Martial Ancestor's radiance would be activated. However, it was currently closed off, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Many people come to experience the Martial Ancestor's radiance, not just us. Xiaoyao City is so vast, and many influential families will send their descendants here when the radiance is activated," Lin Jianping said quietly.

The Lin family was only moderately famous in Xiaoyao City and far inferior to the true local powerhouses.

Most of Lin Yuan's attention, however, was focused on the wall.

"Martial Ancestor's radiance?" Lin Yuan speculated faintly. Before leaving the Middle Land Divine Continent, he had left behind seven statues with brief summaries of his understanding of martial arts.

Just as Lin Yuan was pondering, the large door in the center of the distant wall slowly opened.

An old man in black robes walked out.

"The Martial Ancestor's radiance is about to envelop us. Those whose names are called, enter to experience it," the old man in black robes said concisely, directly issuing the instruction.

"Ouyang Song."

"It's me."

A young man stood up and walked into the door.

"Enjoy the experience," the old man in black robes said with an appreciative expression before reminding him.

"Ouyang Song? Isn't he the most talented martial genius in Xiaoyao City in the past fifty years?" 

"I heard that Ouyang Song has comprehended the power of thunder, renowned for its killing prowess."

As the discussion went on, Lin Jianping remained silent.

"Martial Ancestor, an extraordinary existence," Lin Jianping said after a long while.

"How do you know he's remarkable if you don't know him?" Shen Zhen rolled her eyes at Lin Jianping.

"You wouldn't understand," Lin Jianping shook his head.

"Martial Ancestor?" Lin Yuan listened attentively.

"Three seventh-stage martial experts? Is one of them Li Qing? And are there other disciples?"

Lin Yuan pondered. The White Jade Pavilion he established had accepted hundreds of disciples, whom he personally taught martial arts. However, there were only a few who had the potential to reach the seventh stage.

At another location on the summit, several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple were observing the Martial Ancestor's radiance.

The martial genius Ouyang Song sat cross-legged, closely feeling the radiance emanating from the seven statues in front of him, his expression changing constantly.

After a moment, one of the statues emitted a radiance equivalent to thirty percent.

Ouyang Song suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily. "Hmm, not bad. This statue symbolizes the path of killing. Thirty percent radiance is quite good. Xiaoyao City hasn't seen talent like this in a hundred years."

The figure in charge nodded in approval. These seven statues represented different aspects of martial arts and could guide the recipient toward their future path. The radiance emitted tested the recipient's compatibility with martial arts. Thirty percent radiance was considered rare.

"Ouyang Song, you can be accepted as an inner disciple and receive special training," another figure spoke up.

"Inner disciple? Okay," Ouyang Song agreed.

"In fact, if you reach forty percent radiance, you could be included as a core disciple."

"What a pity."

"Being an inner disciple is still good. It's possible to advance to the fourth stage of martial arts in the future."

After some discussion among several figures, a decision was made.

Next, one by one, martial geniuses experienced the Martial Ancestor's radiance.

In the end, three became inner disciples of the Martial Temple, one became a core disciple, and six became ordinary disciples of the Martial Temple.

Thus, the Martial Ancestor's radiance essentially came to an end.

As for those still waiting in line to experience it, they were mostly taking the backdoor route, as their qualifications were far from being accepted into the Martial Temple. However, the Martial Ancestor's radiance was extremely special. Even if one didn't have martial arts aptitude, experiencing it would still bring significant benefits.

Experiencing the Martial Ancestor's radiance had no threshold. Even immortal cultivators could feel it.

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

"Hurry up, the Martial Ancestor's radiance is about to fade."

The people who came through the backdoor to experience the Martial Ancestor's radiance began to urge each other on.

The martial geniuses experiencing the radiance dared not speak a word, as any interruption would result in expulsion from the Martial Temple.

However, now that those experiencing it were all coming through the backdoor, and with the fixed duration of the Martial Ancestor's radiance, the faster they went in, the better.

On the other side of the summit, several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple watched patiently for a while before losing interest. Those experiencing the Martial Ancestor's radiance through the backdoor barely had a compatibility with martial arts above ten percent.

"The Ancestor once said that all living beings have the right to cultivate martial arts," one figure muttered to himself.

This was also why they allowed those coming through the backdoor to experience the Martial Ancestor's radiance. Just because someone wasn't a martial genius didn't mean they couldn't receive guidance from the Martial Ancestor.

On the plaza below, it was soon Lin Yuan's turn to enter and feel the Martial Ancestor's radiance.

"Son, don't feel pressured. Just feel it casually," Shen Zhen encouraged Lin Yuan.

"Just feel it casually?"

Lin Jianping's mouth twitched; this was the opportunity he had exchanged for most of his wealth.

Just to ease Lin Yuan's nerves, Lin Jianping said, "Your mother is right. Don't feel pressured."

"Yeah, got it," Lin Yuan nodded and walked into the gate.

Buzzing sounds filled the air as the seven statues emitted a faint radiance. The old man in black robes stood nearby.

"Sitting here with your eyes closed is enough," the old man in black robes said calmly, his tone unchanged, as if he had said it countless times before.

"Sitting there?" Lin Yuan glanced at the seven statues, furrowing his brows slightly because he had no idea how to feel it. 

For others, the Martial Ancestor's radiance was filled with countless mysteries, but for Lin Yuan, it was something he had grown tired of centuries ago.

It was like asking a doctoral student to solve middle school problems—there was no need for deep thought.

"How do I feel it?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before asking another question.

"Just close your eyes, and the Martial Ancestor's radiance will naturally resonate with you," the old man in black robes patiently explained.

"Alright," Lin Yuan followed the protocol and sat in front of the statue.

Buzzing.

The omnipresent Martial Ancestor's radiance quickly enveloped Lin Yuan, gradually beginning to resonate.

However, the next moment, all seven statues suddenly froze, and even the previously omnipresent radiance of the Martial Ancestor's also solidified.

"This?" The old man in black robes, who had wanted Lin Yuan to finish quickly so the next person could come, widened his eyes in disbelief at the scene before him.

Boom!

With the initial stagnation, the seven statues simultaneously emitted radiance, filling each statue with twelve percent radiance.

Strands of Martial Ancestor's radiance continuously swirled around Lin Yuan as if they were receiving a decree, gathering at his feet.

"What kind of Martial Ancestor's radiance did you actually feel?" The old man in black robes' mind trembled as he looked at Lin Yuan, who seemed like a divine being, and instinctively asked.

"What kind of radiance?" Lin Yuan glanced at the old man in black robes without saying a word.

I am the Martial Ancestor.

Feeling what radiance.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 253: He Was Born for Martial Arts (Subscribe for More)

On the other side of the peak.

The previously disinterested figures were chatting among themselves, their attention not focused on the recipients of the Martial Ancestor's radiance. Unfortunately, the many who came through the back door showed poor performance, with barely any compatibility with martial arts.

If the Martial Ancestor's radiance wasn't crucial and required to be observed under their watch, they might have left already.

"It's almost over."

The leader among them, the Grand Elder of the Martial Temple, second only to the three Seventh-Rank Martial Masters who were battling outside, glanced casually at the Martial Ancestor's radiance below.

In the next moment, the Grand Elder's pupils contracted. In his sight, strands of Martial Ancestor's radiance surged, and each statue began to emit twelve percent radiance.

For a moment, within the wall where the seven statues were placed, the Martial Ancestor's radiance almost overflowed.

"What is this?" The Grand Elder of the Martial Temple was shocked. There was only one possibility for actively attracting the Martial Ancestor's radiance—the recipient's martial arts aptitude was too powerful, causing the Martial Ancestor's radiance to fully revive.

This had happened several times in the past tens of thousands of years, but the scale of the attracted Martial Ancestor's radiance today was unprecedented.

"Is it a dream that the statues are emitting twelve percent radiance together?," another Martial Temple Grand Elder muttered to himself.

The seven statues represented seven different aspects of martial arts, such as proficiency in killing, defense, domain mastery, etc. Since the establishment of the Martial Temple, there had indeed been testers who caused several statues to emit radiance, but it was at most three or four, and each statue's radiance did not exceed seventy percent.

But now?

Twelve percent radiance?

And all seven statues?

"Genius."

"Since the establishment of our Martial Temple, the most talented genius."

Several Martial Temple Grand Elders quickly reacted. As Sixth-Rank Martial Masters, they shouldn't have lost their composure like this, but what was happening now was too unbelievable.

In front of the seven statues.

Lin Yuan quietly felt the Martial Ancestor's radiance emanating with a sense of submission.

The so-called Martial Ancestor's radiance was nothing more than utilizing the traces of Dao essence left by Lin Yuan on the seven statues, further stimulated by external forces. It could sense the most suitable physique and aptitude for martial arts cultivation.

During these few days of consciousness descending, while Lin Yuan was recovering his strength, he was also slowly transforming his body. As the former progenitor of martial arts, the direction in which Lin Yuan transformed his body was undoubtedly the most suitable for martial arts.

This display of the Martial Ancestor's radiance indicated that it had sensed the ultimate physique essence of the martial arts cultivation system. Such a physique was basically impossible to be born naturally; only with the guidance of Lin Yuan, the progenitor of martial arts, could it appear.

Of course, outsiders were unaware of this, and even the three Seventh-Rank Martial Masters were unaware.

On the side.

The old man in black robes was still in disbelief.

He had opened the Martial Ancestor's radiance so many times, but had never felt such a scene in the radiance. And all seven statues bursting with twelve percent radiance also left the black-robed old man bewildered.

Even causing one statue to emit twelve percent radiance was considered a once-in-a-millennium event, yet now, all seven statues were radiating twelve percent radiance?

Just as the black-robed old man didn't know what to do next.

Several figures appeared silently beside him, all staring at Lin Yuan with fervent eyes.

A unprecedented martial arts genius.

Blessed be our Martial Temple.

Blessed be our martial arts.

These figures were the Grand Elders of the Martial Temple.

"Elders."

The black-robed old man was startled but quickly realized that if even he could perceive the anomaly in the Martial Ancestor's radiance, let alone the Grand Elders?

"Go down."

The leading Grand Elder glanced at the black-robed old man.

"Yes."

The black-robed old man immediately bowed and quickly retreated.

"Little friend."

The Grand Elder of the Martial Temple managed a gentle smile and greeted Lin Yuan, then said solemnly, "I wonder if the little friend is willing to join our Martial Temple?"

As soon as these words were spoken, including the Grand Elder, there was a hint of nervousness on their faces.

With the influence of the Martial Temple, they could naturally force Lin Yuan to join. As the 'Sky' of Xiaoyao City, who dared to refuse the will of the Martial Temple?

But that was for outsiders. Given the terrifying aptitude Lin Yuan had displayed, he would likely take control of the Martial Temple in the future. Who dared to force him? Were they not afraid of repercussions in the future?

"Join the Martial Temple?" Lin Yuan looked at the several Grand Elders of the Martial Temple.

In fact, with Lin Yuan's control over his own strength, he could completely block the Martial Ancestor's radiance from sensing him. But Lin Yuan didn't. The purpose was to attract the attention of the Martial Temple, join it, and use its vast cultivation resources to quickly restore his strength.

The Martial Temple existed to inherit the martial arts cultivation system, and it was naturally one of Lin Yuan's inherent forces. It even aligned with some of Lin Yuan's future plans. During this trip, Lin Yuan also listed the dissemination of the evolution of martial arts as one of his plans. With the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan would save a lot of trouble and wouldn't need to establish his power from scratch before spreading martial arts.

"I'm willing." Lin Yuan nodded.

"Willing?" The Grand Elder of the Martial Temple and the other Grand Elders exchanged glances, feeling relieved.

Outside the wall.

Everyone was anxiously waiting. The duration of the Martial Ancestor's radiance was limited, and if more time was wasted in front, those behind would have less time to experience it. The previous recipient had been inside for more than half an hour. If it dragged on, the Martial Ancestor's radiance would probably stop.

"I hope Chang'er won't cause any trouble," Lin Jianping thought, feeling anxious. Outside, with the Lin family's methods, as long as Lin Yuan didn't cause major trouble, they could basically handle it. But this was the Martial Temple. Even grabbing someone randomly here would have more background and status than the Lin family. If Lin Yuan caused trouble here, Lin Jianping felt a bit scalp-tingling.

"He won't, he won't," Shen Zhen whispered, trying to reassure herself. She also had such worries. Lin Yuan had been sensing the Martial Ancestor's radiance for too long. It was hard not to think in that direction.

Soon after, the old man in black robes walked out.

He said to everyone, "Everyone, the Martial Ancestor's radiance has ended. Let's all go back."

"Ended?"

"So soon?"

"It wasn't this fast in previous years, right?"

Although everyone waiting felt reluctant, they didn't dare to question. What kind of joke was that? Questioning the Martial Temple? Did they want to live or not?

"Ended?" Lin Jianping was puzzled. "What about my son?" From start to finish, he hadn't seen Lin Yuan come out. If Lin Yuan hadn't come out yet, how could it end?

Lin Jianping wanted to ask but didn't dare. He could only stand there and continue waiting.

Soon, the others began to leave one after another.

"It's over. Chang'er probably really got into trouble," Lin Jianping felt cold in his heart, and Shen Zhen's face didn't look good either. If nothing had happened, their son would have come out long ago.

Just as the two were about to gather their courage to inquire about what had happened, the old man in black robes hurriedly walked up to them and said with a slightly respectful attitude, "You two are Chang's parents, right? Please come inside."

The old man in black robes spoke gently, without the superiority he had shown to the others just now.

He was well aware that based on Lin Yuan's performance in sensing the Martial Ancestor's radiance just now, his future position in the Martial Temple could be described as immeasurable. Therefore, at this moment, his attitude towards Lin Yuan's parents must not cross any boundaries, otherwise it would be sowing seeds of trouble for himself.

"We are," Lin Jianping said hastily.

This man in black robes was a steward of the Martial Temple. Even the elders and patriarchs of the major families in Xiaoyao City treated him with the same respect as if meeting their ancestors. But now, such a dignified person was speaking to him in such a gentle tone, making Lin Jianping feel like he was dreaming.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the man in black robes said directly, "Lin Chang is a martial arts genius. You don't need to worry."

The old man in black robes didn't want to reveal too much, just enough to stabilize their emotions with insignificant information.

"My son, a martial arts genius?" Lin Jianping blinked, not reacting for a while.

Shen Zhen beside him was the same. What kind of son did they have? They hadn't figured it out yet?

Deep in the Martial Temple, several Grand Elders gathered again.

After personally bringing Lin Yuan to the top-level cultivation cave of the Martial Temple, they came here.

"Lin Chang, father Lin Jianping."

Information about Lin Yuan appeared in front of several Grand Elders. Although Lin Yuan's martial arts talent had left them unable to calm down for a long time, the most basic background check still needed to be done.

Even though this background investigation seemed meaningless to several Grand Elders, no matter what hidden dangers Lin Yuan's identity might have, they decided to keep this unprecedented martial arts genius at the Martial Temple at all costs.

"Currently, it seems that he comes from a simple family and grew up in Xiaoyao City."

The second Grand Elder of the Martial Temple was very satisfied. Although they had prepared for the worst, such as Lin Yuan having identity issues or enemies, regardless, the Martial Temple had retained him. But without these troublesome hidden dangers, it was naturally better.

"What should we do next?" The third Grand Elder asked.

As the place of martial arts inheritance, the Martial Temple had a complete set of procedures for cultivating disciples. When to do what, which martial arts techniques to practice, and so on were all detailed instructions.

However, given Lin Yuan's aptitude displayed, several Grand Elders felt that following the old procedures for cultivating disciples would be a waste.

"Well then. How about we personally teach him?" The Grand Elder suddenly suggested.

"Teach him personally?"

"No problem."

"I also want to see what's different about a martial arts genius who can make all seven statues emit twelve percent radiance simultaneously."

The several Grand Elders readily agreed.

In a top-level cave.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

"The cultivation environment here is very suitable for martial artists," Lin Yuan felt it carefully and smiled. Xiaoyao City was not built on a spiritual vein, so the spiritual energy was not abundant, but there was a vigorous vitality that was extremely beneficial to martial arts practitioners.

Especially in this cave, if Lin Yuan were to fully absorb it, he could easily recover to the Eighth Rank. At least, reaching the Seventh Rank would be as easy as pie, definitely not exceeding fifty years.

"This time, choosing to directly descend into the Spirit Realm with consciousness seems to be correct."

"The cultivation environment of this world far surpasses the Central Divine Continent in the mortal realm."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In fact, Lin Yuan could also choose to first descend into the Central Divine Continent in the mortal realm with his consciousness, then take over Jun Wuji's body directly and gain Seventh Rank strength immediately before ascending to the upper realm. However, there were significant drawbacks to this approach. Jun Wuji's body was established in the Seventh Rank realm, but it was an erroneous Seventh Rank realm, far inferior to Lin Yuan's perfect Seventh Rank realm in the main world. Moreover, ascending to the Spirit Realm from the Ascension Platform would inevitably involve risks, and sneaking into the Spirit Realm directly from the void would also carry risks.

After much deliberation, it's still best for consciousness to directly descend to the Spirit Realm. Although it starts at a lower level, with the assistance of the Martial Temple, it won't take long to recover to the Eighth Rank.

The next day, the Grand Elder took the initiative to visit Lin Yuan.

"How do you feel?" The Grand Elder asked gently.

Other disciples joining the Martial Temple, even core disciples, needed to live in the Martial Courtyard and undergo various tests. But Lin Yuan naturally didn't need to do any of that, even his mentors were several Grand Elders themselves.

Now, the Grand Elder came to personally teach Lin Yuan, intending to give him a complete impression of the martial arts cultivation system.

"It's okay," Lin Yuan nodded.

The environment here is indeed okay.

"Have you read those classics?" The Grand Elder glanced at the nearby bookshelf, where many jade slips were placed, containing a lot of information related to martial arts.

Just align the jade slip with the forehead to browse and read.

"Yeah," Lin Yuan said.

The information in those jade slips helped Lin Yuan become familiar with the current martial arts.

"Then tell me, what have you gained?" The Grand Elder intentionally tested Lin Yuan, asking.

"The explanation of martial arts is somewhat one-sided," Lin Yuan said.

"Oh? One-sided?" The Grand Elder became interested.

"Martial arts should nurture all things and achieve completion. That's true martial arts," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Nurture all things, achieve completion?" The Grand Elder's eyes lit up.

In the Spirit Realm, apart from the lofty Immortal Path, who dared to comment on their own path like this?

"What does 'nurture all things' mean?" The Grand Elder continued to inquire.

"Time, space, Yin-Yang, and the Five Elements," Lin Yuan said at a steady pace.

After more than an hour.

The Grand Elder walked out of the cave with a somewhat lost expression.

"How did it go?"

"How was the teaching?"

"How is his understanding of martial arts?"

Several Grand Elders were quite curious.

"How is his understanding of martial arts?" The Grand Elder looked around, glanced at the several Grand Elders, and finally said in a somewhat inexplicable tone:

"He is born for martial arts."

Chapter 254: Centennial Years (Subscribe Please)

"Born for martial arts?" Several Grand Elders were shocked.

This evaluation couldn't be higher. In the realm of immortality, it meant a dazzling and outstanding genius, a seed of immortality!

Although martial arts couldn't compare to the Immortal Path, this evaluation wasn't something anyone could bear.

"Don't believe it?" The Grand Elder sighed lightly after looking at them.

To be honest, before "teaching" Lin Yuan, he didn't think there was any martial artist in the world who could be evaluated like this.

But afterwards, the Grand Elder truly realized that Lin Yuan was such a person.

"Wait until tomorrow, and you'll know after teaching him," the Grand Elder said, shaking his head slightly, then left.

In the following days, the several Grand Elders of the Martial Temple each wanted to "teach" Lin Yuan.

However, the outcomes often left them somewhat disheartened. The questions they posed to Lin Yuan were often answered after just a moment of thought. But when Lin Yuan casually asked a question in return, the Grand Elders would be stumped for a long time, unable to come up with an explanation, and Lin Yuan would ultimately provide the answer.

As for his progress in martial arts cultivation, Lin Yuan made remarkable strides, especially with the abundant resources provided by the Martial Temple. His advancement speed was astonishing.

In less than a year, he completed a journey that would take ordinary martial arts geniuses decades to achieve.

What the Grand Elders didn't know was that Lin Yuan deliberately showcased his cultivation speed.

As for his true cultivation speed, it was far more terrifying than they imagined.

In the Martial Temple's guest hall, Lin Yuan sat casually, while Lin Jianping and Shen Zhen were filled with excitement.

"Son, you don't know how well Zhao, the patriarch of the Zhao family, treats me, all because of you," Lin Jianping said, looking at his son with indescribable joy.

The best decision he ever made in his life was to let Lin Yuan experience the Martial Ancestor's Radiance.

Although he still didn't know Lin Yuan's status in the Martial Temple or what level of disciple he was after joining, as time passed, with Lin Yuan's casual instructions, the Martial Temple showed a subtle closeness to the Lin family.

"Really?" Lin Yuan smiled.

Now, his position in the Martial Temple was quite special. He wasn't just a disciple; he was personally instructed by several Grand Elders.

In theory, Lin Yuan's seniority and status should be on par with the current generation's temple master. Even if the temple master disagreed with him, Lin Yuan's word would still hold weight.

After chatting for a while, Shen Zhen pulled Lin Jianping up to leave.

"Son, you must take care of yourself in the temple," Shen Zhen couldn't help but feel distressed for Lin Yuan.

She heard that the competition in the temple was fierce, and even those core disciples had to pay a huge price to get what they wanted.

Now that her son could influence the Martial Temple, the cost he paid could be imagined.

"Don't worry, I'm doing fine in there," Lin Yuan said.

But as he said so, Shen Zhen's eyes reddened, feeling that Lin Yuan was just putting on a brave front.

After seeing off his parents, Lin Yuan returned to his cultivation cave.

"After thousands of years of development, this world has explored many directions in martial arts," Lin Yuan pondered.

Joining the Martial Temple for the past half year, besides daily cultivation to restore his strength, he also observed the changes in the current martial arts cultivation system.

Although Lin Yuan was the founder of martial arts, he only left behind the First to Seventh Rank. The Seventh Rank was just a beginning, and the version established then was not perfect. It wasn't until Lin Yuan returned to the main world that he created the Seventh Rank that satisfied him.

"Unfortunately, after so many years, I still haven't moved beyond the Eighth Rank," Lin Yuan thought silently.

As far as Lin Yuan knew, the strongest martial artist today only reached the Seventh Rank. Among them, the strongest, named 'Li Qing,' was his personally accepted disciple from the mortal realm. As for the other two, they were disciples taught after ascending to the Spirit Realm. Among the three Seventh Ranks, 'Li Qing' was at the peak, while the other two lingered in the mid to late stages of the Seventh Rank.

"The peak of the Seventh Rank," Lin Yuan's expression was pensive.

The martial path 'Li Qing' walked was what Lin Yuan left behind. Although it was only the beginning of the Seventh Rank, Lin Yuan had left guesses and speculations about the subsequent levels of the Seventh Rank.

Li Qing, as long as he follows Lin Yuan's speculation, reaching the peak of the Seventh Rank isn't too difficult.

At least it's much easier than creating the Seventh Rank from scratch.

Of course, because the Seventh Rank left by Lin Yuan wasn't perfect, Li Qing almost had no chance of stepping into the Eighth Rank.

Even in the main world, the Eighth Rank is a crucial stage, and mastering the Eighth Rank is a prerequisite for the path of evolution.

"That's true."

"Although this world has passed hundreds of thousands of years, martial arts can't be considered a dominant path. Without enough creatures investing in it, coupled with the deviation in the Seventh Rank, it's not surprising that they haven't stepped into the Eighth Rank."

Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.

His ability to reach the Eighth Rank was because the Seventh Rank was almost perfect, combined with his extraordinary comprehension, and many cultivation conditions from the main world, as well as numerous paths of evolution from the bodies of the strongest beings.

With many factors at play, Lin Yuan achieved his current accomplishments.

As for martial arts in the spirit world, if Lin Yuan hadn't consciously descended, it's estimated that there wouldn't be any martial artists stepping into the Eighth Rank for millions of years.

"The Eighth Rank of martial arts should be equivalent to the Tribulation Crossing Period in the Immortal Path?"

Lin Yuan thought of the Immortal Path cultivation system.

The Tribulation Crossing Period is also known as the Immortal King.

Immortal King Tribulation Crosser.

Even though they stand at the absolute peak among the three thousand Dao provinces of the spirit world.

"To enter the Tribulation Crossing Period, one needs to pass through the Tribulation of the Mind and the Tribulation of the Flesh, only then can they break through to the Tribulation Crossing Period and become Immortal Kings."

"This is similar to crossing from the Seventh Rank to the Eighth Rank, which requires experiencing the Trial of the Inner Demon."

Lin Yuan pondered.

The difference is that crossing from the Seventh Rank to the Eighth Rank only requires experiencing the Trial of the Inner Demon, while the true immortals of the spirit world also need to undergo the Trial of the Flesh.

"Immortal Kings wield the power of creation, overlooking the spirit world, and can even roam the millions of lower realms?"

Lin Yuan thought of the descriptions he had read about Immortal Kings.

Although the Martial Temple collected them, although the martial arts cultivation system is different from the Immortal Path cultivation system, newcomers still hold awe for the top experts of the Immortal Path.

"I wonder what the differences are between Immortal Kings and Eighth Rank evolvers," Lin Yuan was curious.

Since the cultivation systems are different, the abilities displayed at each stage are naturally different.

The power of creation controlled by Immortal Kings corresponds to the Eighth Rank evolvers, but that's only in terms of general combat power. As for specific details and abilities, they would need to engage in combat to find out.

"The power of creation?"

Lin Yuan stroked his chin. This power is the core power mastered by Immortal Kings, the greatest confidence of Immortal King-level experts in overlooking all living beings.

"Is it another name for the power of the world? Or is it simply another form of energy? Do Immortal Kings not establish a world within their bodies?"

Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated.

The most powerful means of Eighth Rank evolvers is the power of the world nurtured within their bodies.

As for the power of creation mastered by Immortal Kings, it's unclear what kind of power it is.

The Martial Temple's level is ultimately not high enough to collect detailed information about Immortal King-level experts.

Deep within the Martial Temple.

Several Grand Elders gathered again.

"Chang'er's talent is too strong, we can't teach him anymore," the second Grand Elder said after a moment of silence, speaking truthfully.

They are all Sixth Rank martial artists, equivalent to the Refined Body Period Ancient Saints.

In the spirit world, Ancient Saints are enough to dominate a region. At least in cities like the Leisure City, the strength of Ancient Saints is considered the ceiling.

But faced with Lin Yuan, they felt a little frightened.

Lin Yuan's learning ability and cultivation speed were too fast.

So fast that they began to doubt how they had spent these years.

"What should we do then?" the third Grand Elder asked.

"The only way now is to consult the three ancestors. Perhaps only they are qualified to teach Chang'er," the Grand Elder said.

"Three ancestors?"

The remaining Grand Elders were slightly surprised.

The three ancestors here naturally refer to the three Seventh Rank martial artists.

The ones who founded the Martial Temple.

However.

At present, the three Seventh Rank martial artists are all fighting for the Daoist Ethical Sect.

The Daoist Ethical Sect has been sheltering the Leisure City for so many years, mainly because of a negotiation agreement between a certain True Immortal powerhouse in the Daoist Ethical Sect and that mysterious Martial Ancestor.

It's also because of the contributions made by the three ancestors to the Daoist Ethical Sect over the years.

"I reckon only the three ancestors can teach him now."

The third elder sighed, anyway, they dare not continue teaching, otherwise there would definitely be a risk of mental damage.

That's too exaggerated.

If they hadn't confirmed that Lin Chang's soul and body were perfectly integrated, they would have suspected that Lin Chang had been possessed by some old monster.

In the spirit world, possession is not uncommon.

"I'll contact the three ancestors right away."

Seeing that the other elders had no objections, the Grand Elder immediately stood up and said.

The three ancestors are currently on an expedition, and unless it's urgent, they are not to be disturbed. However, the matter concerning Lin Yuan is considered urgent by several elders.

Within the cave.

While practicing, Lin Yuan was also experiencing the rules of the spirit world.

"The rules of Yin."

With a slight movement of his mind, strands of pure Yin energy gathered deep in his pupils, merging with the power of the sun to form the power of Tai Chi.

"I didn't expect to comprehend the rules of Yin so soon after my arrival. I've been in seclusion in the main world for nearly twenty years and didn't comprehend the rules of Yin. Yet, I comprehended them shortly after crossing over."

Lin Yuan was in a good mood. The main world had failed to comprehend the rules of Yin, but he managed to do it shortly after crossing over.

"But my current strength is too weak, I can't condense the rules. Otherwise, I could see what the fusion of the rules of Yin and Yang looks like, and if it would form a new rule, the Tai Chi rule."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

The rules of the Great Dao are elusive. To condense a certain rule, first, one must comprehend that rule, and second, have a body and soul capable of bearing that rule.

Of course, Lin Yuan was just unable to condense the rules of Yin, but he could still use them.

After comprehending a certain rule, even an ordinary person, in every move and action, conforms to that rule, unleashing power far beyond the limits.

"This time, I might awaken another body technique."

Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, his eyes shining slightly.

The Sixth Rank of the Martial Arts Scripture absorbed the essence of the Body Refining Lineage, allowing martial artists to condense their own body techniques.

So far, Lin Yuan has condensed two body techniques in total.

One is "Blood Rebirth".

The other is "Moving Mountains".

The former has brought Lin Yuan tremendous help, and even the opening of that mysterious gourd was achieved with the help of the "Blood Rebirth" technique.

"And that gourd."

Lin Yuan's mind sank into the depths of his memory, looking towards the towering and huge Gate of the Myriad Realms.

As long as Lin Yuan was willing, he could consume a wisp of Boundary Breaking Source Power at any time to bring that mysterious gourd over.

But after some thought, Lin Yuan decided to wait for a while.

His current strength is still too weak, and the mysterious gourd is too precious. It's better to wait until he has enough strength to protect himself in this realm before considering it.

"Practice, practice."

Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he began to practice again.

Although he is now protected by the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan has no worries about safety.

But there are still many things waiting for Lin Yuan to do, and these things all require strength.

On the edge of the Xuan Wang Domain.

Inside a palace.

Three figures were sitting cross-legged, their blood and energy circulating, faintly shaking in all directions.

"Hmm?"

"The Martial Temple sent me a message."

The first figure on the left opened his eyes and spoke.

"The Martial Temple?"

"What major event has occurred?"

The first figure on the right also opened his eyes.

They had already told the Martial Temple that unless something major happened, they shouldn't contact them easily.

"What's the matter?"

At this point, the figure in the middle opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

This figure was a stunning woman, none other than 'Li Qing', the personal disciple Lin Yuan had accepted years ago.

"They say the Martial Temple received an extraordinary genius. When he felt the radiance of the Martial Ancestor, it caused the seven statues to shake and emit twelve percent of their radiance simultaneously."

The figure on the left said.

"All seven statues emitted twelve percent radiance?"

The figure on the right had a slight tremor in his tone.

Even he had only caused one statue to shake and emit twelve percent radiance.

"It truly is an extraordinary genius."

Li Qing nodded and said, "What does the Martial Temple want us to do?"

"They want one of us to go back and personally teach that genius," the figure on the left said.

"Go back?" Li Qing frowned slightly.

"Now is a critical moment in the battles with other domains. We can't leave. We can't even project our consciousness out."

"In that case, reply to the Martial Temple, in a hundred years, I will personally go back and teach that extraordinary genius."

Li Qing spoke.

She still values martial arts geniuses, perhaps influenced by Lin Yuan's actions in the past. Li Qing is willing to give every martial artist a chance to advance further.

"A hundred years?"

"Well, in a hundred years, the battles will probably have stopped. By then, the three of us can go back and take a look."

"During this hundred years, let that extraordinary genius practice on his own. When we return, we can personally guide him."

The figure on the right said.

"No problem."

The figure on the left nodded.

It's just a hundred years. That extraordinary genius might have just grasped something about martial arts. When they return, they can provide guidance during crucial moments.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed since Lin Yuan descended into this world.
