Chapter 13: Unprecedented Talent, Profound Understanding, Unparalleled in History
Lin Yuan's return to Da Chan Temple did not cause much of a stir.
Aside from the abbot and a few courtyard heads, no other monks were aware of his presence.
In the third floor of the Sutra Repository, Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed.
"Eight years left," he murmured, glancing at the illusory light screen below him. He knew that his time in this world was limited.
"That should be enough," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
With his unprecedented talent for understanding, he now had a clear direction and idea of how to reach the Dao Realm, which was above the Myth Realm. Eight years was more than enough time to achieve this goal.
"The path of martial arts," Lin Yuan mused, his eyes deep with contemplation.
In this world, the path of martial arts began with the human body as its foundation and incorporated the spirit, leading to constant transformation. Although progress was slow, it had the advantage of having no apparent weaknesses.
At the very least, it had far more potential than the 'Gene Warrior' evolution path of the universe's human civilization.
Gene Warriors followed a pure physical evolution path, and when faced with 'Superpower Masters' or 'Mind Masters', they would usually be overwhelmed if they were unprepared.
It seemed that the Gene Warrior evolution path was likely created by the higher-ups of human civilization for their descendants, relying solely on gene potions for advancement. As long as one could purchase gene potions of sufficient rank, they could continue to enhance themselves.
"I wonder how the martial path is classified and evaluated by the Goddess of Wisdom," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Universal Human Alliance encouraged its citizens to develop new evolution paths, and the Goddess of Wisdom even offered substantial contribution rewards to attract more human citizens to this endeavor.
The value of an evolution path was determined by two factors: its prevalence and its potential.
The prevalence was easy to understand—if an evolution path was only accessible to a single individual, it would hold little value to human civilization as a whole.
As for potential, it referred to the theoretical upper limit of the evolution path.
Having lived in this world for over a decade, Lin Yuan had been using his talent to deduce martial arts, striving to surpass the Grand Master realm and reach the Myth Realm, and even beyond. He was doing his best to raise the upper limit of the martial arts evolution path to earn a higher evaluation from the Goddess of Wisdom and obtain greater rewards.
Lin Yuan was clear about his priorities; this world was just a passing stop for him. After the twenty-year stay was over, he would return to the Universal Human Alliance.
"Time to continue my contemplations," Lin Yuan thought, closing his eyes once more and sinking back into a state of enlightenment.
The trip to the Dali Kingdom's capital had been immensely beneficial to Lin Yuan. The countless martial arts recorded in the Martial Hall and the various profound techniques mastered by the world's martial artists had sparked countless epiphanies in Lin Yuan's mind, propelled by his unprecedented talent. With unwavering determination, he marched toward the realm beyond the Myth Realm.
Time passed, and eight years went by in the blink of an eye.
As time fermented, the true identity of the mysterious monk who had punched through the Dali Palace was finally revealed to the world.
He was Fo Zi Huizhen of Da Chan Temple.
Back then, when Lin Yuan had said 'This poor monk, Huizhen' outside the palace, many people had heard him.
Moreover, Da Chan Temple had already distributed Fo Zi's portraits to temples all over the world, and Lin Yuan had also made appearances at the several martial arts conferences held in the Dali Kingdom's capital.
It wasn't difficult to connect the dots.
The direct consequence of the mysterious monk's identity being exposed was the sudden bustle of activity at Da Chan Temple. Every day, countless martial artists flocked to Shaoshi Mountain, drawn by the desire to meet the legendary monk.
That mysterious monk had only stayed in the Dali Kingdom's capital for a year before disappearing, and many speculated that he had returned to Da Chan Temple.
Martial artists from far and wide came to the temple, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lin Yuan, the acknowledged Grand Master, and even hailed as the unparalleled Grand Master throughout the ages by those few Grand Masters.
In the world of literature and martial arts, there was no equal.
The fact that he had earned the recognition of all the Grand Masters, without a single doubt or question, could only mean one thing—Fo Zi Huizhen was unbelievably powerful, having overwhelmed all the Grand Masters.
This was what drew the crowds.
Even if they couldn't meet him, just catching a distant glimpse would be a dream come true. What if they were lucky enough to be noticed by the anonymous monk?
Such an opportunity would be even greater than a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.
As for being noticed by Fo Zi, they might have to become monks and shave their heads. But many would gladly do so, even if it meant severing all emotional ties, just for a chance to become a Grand Master.
On the narrow mountain path of Shaoshi Mountain, a burly man with a heavy sword on his back walked slowly, followed by a young man in his twenties.
"Master, master," the young man asked curiously, "Did you come here to challenge that Fo Zi again?"
The burly man with the heavy sword was none other than the Sword Saint of the South China Sea.
If there were any Grand Masters present, they would have noticed that the Sword Saint of the South China Sea exuded a profound aura, his eyes sharp and piercing. They would have sensed the mental power within him, as sharp as a sword.
He had become a Grand Master.
In the past, the birth of any Grand Master would have caused a sensation, with people flocking from all directions to celebrate and pay their respects.
But the Sword Saint of the South China Sea felt none of that excitement.
Since his spar with Lin Yuan eight years ago, the Sword Saint of the South China Sea had come to understand that there was always someone superior.
So what if one was a Grand Master?
Even a Grand Master would surely die when facing that Buddhist monk.
"I'm just here to take a look."
The Sword Saint of the South China Sea shook his head.
"Also, don't compare your master with that Buddhist monk."
"That Buddhist monk has long ceased to be a Grand Master since eight years ago."
The Sword Saint of the South China Sea took a deep breath and said softly.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
He looked up toward the peak of Shaoshi Mountain, in the direction of Da Chan Temple.
Buzz!!! A terrifying aura began to vibrate and instantly enveloped the entire Shaoshi Mountain.
And at an extremely terrifying speed, it spread out in all directions.
"What is that?"
The Sword Saint of the South China Sea turned pale.
In his perception, a vast aura akin to an ocean rose from the depths of Da Chan Temple, illuminating the world like a brilliant sun.
"Finally... he's finally succeeded."
In the third floor of the Sutra Repository, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes and stood up, stepping out of the repository.
After nearly a decade, he had finally stepped into the realm above the Myth Realm.
Outside the Sutra Repository.
The elder monk with long eyebrows, the abbot, and the various courtyard heads had long been waiting.
The disturbance caused by Lin Yuan's breakthrough was simply too great. Even the Sword Saint of the South China Sea, who was on the mountainside, had sensed it, let alone the numerous monks within Da Chan Temple.
"Buddhist Monk."
"We pay our respects to the Buddhist Monk."
Upon seeing Lin Yuan walk out of the Sutra Repository, the elder monk with long eyebrows and the others immediately bowed.
"En."
Lin Yuan nodded, feeling pleased.
"Has the Buddhist Monk's strength surpassed the Grand Master realm?"
Abbot Huiyuan hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively.
In truth, he had long suspected as much, but he had never been quite certain. After all, Grand Masters were the pinnacle of martial artists since ancient times, and surpassing that realm was no easy feat.
However, just now, when he sensed the disturbance caused by Lin Yuan's breakthrough...
Even if Abbot Huiyuan was a fool, he would have realized something.
That vast and overwhelming aura—even ten or a hundred Grand Masters wouldn't be able to compare.
As for why Abbot Huiyuan was so clear about this, it was because the elder monk with long eyebrows had also successfully advanced to the Grand Master realm a year ago.
"More or less."
Lin Yuan's gaze was calm as he replied indifferently.
"He's truly surpassed the Grand Master realm?"
Even though they had their suspicions, the three of them still felt their hearts stirring violently.
The elderly Grand Master monk had even more complex emotions. He had personally witnessed Lin Yuan's progress step by step, and over a decade ago, he had even guided him as his master.
"Then what lies beyond the Grand Master realm?"
Abbot Huiyuan's voice trembled as he asked.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately fixed their gazes on Lin Yuan, their eyes burning with anticipation.
Although they knew they could never reach Lin Yuan's height and that even the hope of becoming a Grand Master was slim, they could at least listen to what lay beyond, which was more than what any Grand Master throughout history could offer.
"Beyond the Grand Master realm is the Myth Realm, where internal energy is refined into 'Primordial Force'," Lin Yuan patiently explained the mysteries of the 'Myth Realm'.
After a brief pause, he continued, "As for what lies beyond the Myth Realm, I haven't thought of a name yet, but one can sense the heavenly order and fuse their qi, spirit, and mental power."
"En?"
"Beyond the Myth Realm?"
Abbot Huiyuan and the others were shocked to their core, and it took them a while to process this information.
They had just been immersed in the wonders of the Myth Realm, fantasizing about its various characteristics, when Lin Yuan mentioned what lay beyond it?
Could it be that the young Buddhist monk before them had already surpassed the Myth Realm? Otherwise, how could he know the mysteries beyond it?
Subsequently, Lin Yuan patiently explained a few more things before dismissing Abbot Huiyuan and the others.
It wasn't that Lin Yuan didn't want to say more.
It was just that if one's realm wasn't high enough, no amount of explanation would help.
On the contrary, it might even hinder their cultivation.
"It should be the limit," Lin Yuan mused after a while.
At this moment, he faintly sensed a suppressing pressure from the heavens and the earth.
The realm he had currently attained was already the utmost limit of this world, and to go further, relying on his heaven-defying comprehension talent, was not impossible, but the time he had left was far from sufficient.
"It's about time."
Inside the Sutra Repository, Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of books stacked in front of him.
They recorded the specific processes and details of cultivation, from the Postnatal Realm to the Myth Realm and beyond.
Of course, the deeper one delved into the martial path, the more abstruse and incomprehensible it became for ordinary people.
This was also the reason why Lin Yuan was reluctant to explain too much to Abbot Huiyuan and the others.
However, if a genius disciple with exceptional talent, perhaps one-ten-thousandth of Lin Yuan's talent, were to appear in Da Chan Temple in the future, these books could provide guidance and direction.
But thinking about such a disciple appearing, it would probably be hundreds or even thousands of years later.
After stepping into the realm beyond the Myth Realm, Lin Yuan stopped cultivating and instead began to travel and enjoy the sights.
Even so, he felt the pressure from the heavens and the earth growing stronger, like a beached whale, causing him great discomfort.
Several months later.
Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Because...
The Myriad Worlds Gate deep in his mind suddenly shone brightly.
