Chapter 133: The Martial Way Should Not Be So Limited (End of Chapter Preview)
"So heavy."
Lin Yuan looked down at the black briefcase once more.
It measured only fifty centimeters in length and width, yet it weighed at least ten tons.
"The handover is complete."
"Then I'll be on my way."
The man in the black uniform smiled faintly.
And with that, he turned and left.
From start to finish, it had been an uneventful exchange.
If Lin Yuan hadn't known about it in advance, he wouldn't have given it a second thought.
"I wonder what Teacher has sent me this time."
Carrying the black briefcase, Lin Yuan made his way back to the main building.
The weight of ten tons was nothing to Lin Yuan's current physique.
The reason he had been surprised earlier was that he hadn't expected the briefcase to weigh so much.
"Let's take a look inside."
Lin Yuan returned to the underground training ground.
Drop.
Once again, he went through the fingerprint, iris, and soul wave authentication.
The black briefcase slowly opened.
Within, there lay a black-gold box, no larger than a fist.
Lin Yuan could tell that the immense weight of the briefcase came mostly from this box.
Click.
With all the previous authentications in place, Lin Yuan easily opened the black-gold box.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan saw a 'stone', no larger than a thumbnail, resting in the center of the box.
The stone was a deep crimson color.
As Lin Yuan gazed at it, he felt as though he were staring at a star.
"This..."
Lin Yuan examined the tiny stone intently, every detail, every texture, and mark on its surface stirred up a storm within him.
"This is a rule, an essence of the world's rules."
Lin Yuan's heart raced with excitement.
Most other Evolvers might not even recognize what this 'stone' was.
Even some Sixth Stage Evolvers might not be able to identify it.
But Lin Yuan was different.
Having experienced the Godly Soldier World, he had become extremely sensitive to the world's essential rules.
This thumbnail-sized 'stone' was far from a full manifestation of the essence of the rules.
In the Godly Soldier World, even the smallest fragment of a godly soldier contained a far greater volume of rule essence than this stone.
But this was the Main World.
Even a single hair from an elephant would outweigh an ant by countless times.
Not to mention the difference between the Main World and the Godly Soldier World was far greater than that between an elephant and an ant.
This 'stone' could hardly be considered a manifestation of the essence of the rules, it barely carried an imprint, at most, it was tinged with a hint of the essence of the rules.
Yet the feeling it gave Lin Yuan surpassed the combined essence of the rules contained within all the godly soldiers in the Godly Soldier World.
Scorching.
Vast.
Luminescent.
Numerous auras manifested from this 'stone'.
"With this stone as a reference for my enlightenment, it will be much easier for me to explore the future evolution paths of the martial way and break through to the Sixth Stage."
It was like having a bunch of supplementary materials to help solve a problem. Originally, Lin Yuan could only tackle it slowly, but now, with all this additional information related to the problem, the final solution would undoubtedly be much easier to attain.
Moreover, these supplementary materials would also greatly aid Lin Yuan in solving the next problem, and the one after that.
"Teacher."
Lin Yuan connected his consciousness to the virtual world.
He arrived at Chi Qiu Xingzhu's palace.
"You're here?"
Chi Qiu Xingzhu looked at Lin Yuan with eager eyes. "So, what do you think of that item?"
"Teacher."
Lin Yuan hesitated, "It's too precious, I can't accept it."
Even though Lin Yuan wasn't aware of the value of rule-related items in the Main World, just the fact that Chi Qiu Xingzhu had used the S-level encryption of the Shun Tong Group, worth hundreds of billions, to transport this 'stone', was enough to tell him that its value far exceeded that amount.
It might even be a priceless treasure that money couldn't buy.
"You are my disciple, what is there that you cannot accept?"
Chi Qiu Xingzhu waved his hand dismissively. "Besides, at my current level, this kind of item is of no use to me. Rather than letting it sit there and gather dust, I might as well give it to you to make use of it."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He understood that Chi Qiu Xingzhu's words were meant to comfort him.
He could have easily sold it or exchanged it for something else that he could use.
"So, what do you think of the stone?"
Chi Qiu Xingzhu asked again.
"It's very enlightening."
Lin Yuan replied seriously.
"Good."
A smile appeared on Chi Qiu Xingzhu's face. "My obedient disciple, your talent is such that if I were to forcefully guide you, it would only restrict your path."
"That stone is a rule crystal, and the essence it contains is the boundless Grand Dao that leads to the heavens."
"As long as you comprehend the mysteries contained within the stone, breaking through to the Sixth Stage will not be a problem."
Chi Qiu Xingzhu explained.
After returning from Chi Qiu Xingzhu's place, Lin Yuan's gaze once again fell upon the thumbnail-sized stone.
"It's too profound."
Lin Yuan was almost mesmerized.
The crimson stone was related to the solar rules, and as Lin Yuan studied it carefully, he felt his understanding of the solar rules continuously improving.
And so it was.
Lin Yuan dedicated most of his days to comprehending the stone. During the rest of his time, he continued to perfect his martial evolution path and contemplated how he would break through to the Sixth Stage.
Indeed.
Lin Yuan had long possessed the ability to break through to the Sixth Stage.
However, the angle from which he would begin was a matter that required careful consideration.
Once he started breaking through to the Sixth Stage, his soul would actively conform to his evolution path.
This was a crucial point.
If his soul achieved a perfect harmony with his evolution path, then he could step into the Sixth Stage.
The transition from the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage was not an instantaneous or short-term process.
It was a journey that could take as little as one, two, or three years, or as long as hundreds or thousands of years.
Many extremely talented Fifth Stage evolvers often got stuck at the soul harmony stage, unable to enter the Sixth Stage even after centuries or millennia.
Virtual World.
Canglan Evolution Institute, large classroom.
Even before the class began, thousands of students had already arrived, securing their seats and waiting eagerly.
"Have you guys heard? Our teacher for today is Lin Yuan, the champion of the Arena Tournament!"
"Of course, I wouldn't be here so early if I hadn't heard about it."
"Yeah, it's Lin Yuan. He's the most talented evolver in the history of Canglan Star, reaching the Fourth Stage before the age of a hundred."
"I know, right? I'd be content if I could become a Second Stage evolver before turning a hundred."
"You're still aiming for the Second Stage?"
The thousands of students whispered amongst themselves.
Those who were seated in this classroom were the most promising students of the Canglan Evolution Institute, the future hopes of Canglan Star.
At that moment, everyone was filled with anticipation, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
Whoosh.
Just then.
A young man appeared on the podium.
The next moment.
The classroom fell silent.
All the students stared at the young man.
"Hello, everyone."
Lin Yuan greeted them casually.
As an honorary professor of the Canglan Evolution Institute.
Lin Yuan enjoyed the various privileges and benefits of a Level One professor. Even though he held an honorary position, he was still expected to teach a class or two, even if he didn't have to show up at all.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yuan finished reciting the textbook content verbatim.
He then began to ask the students about the problems they faced in their evolutionary paths.
"Professor Lin."
A girl with a ponytail raised her hand.
"Go ahead."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Thank you, Professor Lin."
The ponytailed girl was pleasantly surprised. Many students had raised their hands, but Lin Yuan had chosen her.
"Professor Lin, I'm cultivating the martial evolution path."
The ponytailed girl voluntarily shared her evolution path.
"Martial evolution, huh?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Nowadays, the martial evolution path had become the most popular evolution path on Canglan Star.
Among the thousands of students in the classroom, at least one-tenth of them were cultivating the martial evolution path.
Of course, most of these students had only recently begun their cultivation, and the vast majority had yet to enter the First Stage.
"I noticed that the martial evolution path requires one to comprehend the yin and yang energies of the moon and sun, but I'm inherently dull in my perception of these energies. Does this mean I'm not suitable for the martial evolution path?"
The ponytailed girl asked cautiously.
As soon as this question was asked.
The other students pricked up their ears.
They, too, wanted to know the answer to this question, as the yin and yang energies of the moon and sun were considered higher-level energies, not something everyone could perceive.
Most evolvers were more sensitive to the basic energies of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"This question..."
Lin Yuan looked around.
If he had to answer, Lin Yuan could certainly provide a response.
That is, everything in the world has yin and yang, such as the metal attribute, which also has a yin and yang division, the water attribute has a yin and yang division, and the lightning attribute likewise has a yin and yang division.
Even if you can't perceive the yin and yang energies of the moon and sun, you can focus on perceiving the energies that you are sensitive to, like the metal element. After comprehending the metal element, you can then explore its yin and yang aspects and eventually deduce the yin and yang energies of the moon and sun.
However.
While Lin Yuan could understand this answer, other Fifth and Sixth Stage evolvers might also grasp it.
But for the majority of the students in the classroom, who had yet to enter the First Stage, it would undoubtedly be incomprehensible.
Not only would they be unable to understand it.
They would also be incapable of achieving it.
Therefore.
Lin Yuan decided not to elaborate on it.
"I'm also researching this question."
"Once I've figured it out, I'll definitely share it with you all."
Lin Yuan said.
"Okay."
The ponytailed girl didn't find this strange.
Although Lin Yuan possessed the most outstanding evolutionary talent in Canglan Star's history.
He was still inferior to the mysterious grand evolver who had founded the martial evolution path.
It was only natural that Lin Yuan wouldn't know the answer to a question that even the founder hadn't explained.
And with that, the lesson concluded.
Lin Yuan disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world and sat cross-legged in the underground training ground, deep in thought about the ponytailed girl's question from the classroom.
All along, the martial evolution path that Lin Yuan had established was entirely based on his own perspective.
From the First Stage to the Second Stage, and then the Yin-Yang aspect of the Second Stage, the Grand Dao of Taiyin and Taiyang in the Third Stage, and finally, the Fourth and Fifth Stages... Everything was based solely on himself.
But who was Lin Yuan?
He possessed a heaven-defying comprehension ability, able to extrapolate and master new concepts with incredible speed and efficiency.
Could others do the same just because Lin Yuan could understand, grasp, and absorb these principles? Take the Taiyin and Taiyang aspects of the martial evolution path, for example. This was part of the Second Stage, and achieving a breakthrough to the Taiji aspect was incredibly difficult.
In the Dragon and Tiger World, those who comprehended the Taiyang Wuji and Taiyin Wuji were all heavenly masters who appeared once in hundreds or even thousands of years, and they could only do so with the help of the True Martial Pendant.
Even though the cultivation environment in the Main World far surpassed that of the Dragon and Tiger World, the average citizen didn't have access to many resources.
"The martial path should not be so restrictive to ordinary citizens from the Second Stage onwards."
Lin Yuan's expression was calm, but his thoughts were in turmoil.
With the current martial evolution path, one had to comprehend either Taiyin or Taiyang in the Second Stage. If they couldn't, progressing further would be extremely difficult.
It was foreseeable that countless citizens would be stuck at this stage.
Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
The martial path shouldn't be so limited.
In an instant, countless insights surged into his mind.
Not long ago, in the Founder's Virtual World, Lin Yuan had conversed with the mysterious existence from 23,000 years ago. Aside from the discussion about the Taiji aspect governing all things, they had also talked about other methods of governing the myriad ways, which Lin Yuan quickly put into practice.
Lin Yuan began to reorganize the martial evolution path from the Second Stage, removing the restriction that only Taiyin or Taiyang could be used to progress further.
From now on, practitioners of the martial path didn't have to limit themselves to Taiyin or Taiyang. They could continue cultivating as long as they could sense and comprehend any of the myriad forces, such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, lightning, ice, and so on.
From the Second Stage onwards, one would determine a path that resonated with their own nature, and by the Fifth Stage, they would condense a corresponding attribute soul.
This soul wasn't limited to just the Yin Soul or the Yang Soul; it could be the Soul of Gold, the Soul of Water, or the Soul of Wood, among countless other possibilities.
Infinite.
Encompassing all things.
As Lin Yuan perfected the martial evolution path, his soul suddenly trembled, and his aura began to shift, slowly aligning with the martial evolution path.
"I didn't expect this."
"This is the best way for me to break through to the Sixth Stage."
Lin Yuan exhaled softly.
By perfecting the martial evolution path and removing the limitation of Taiyin and Taiyang, Lin Yuan had inadvertently created the perfect opportunity to break through to the Sixth Stage.
Many extreme Fifth Stage evolvers might spend decades or even centuries searching for such an opportunity.
Even the previous Lin Yuan had hesitated, unsure of the best way to break through to the Sixth Stage.
But now, everything was clear, and this natural breakthrough was undoubtedly the perfect way to enter the Sixth Stage.
A month later, Lin Yuan emerged from his seclusion.
Advancing from the Fifth Stage to the Sixth Stage wasn't something that could be achieved in a short time; it required the soul to undergo a slow transformation and evolution.
"I'll take a short rest."
Lin Yuan planned to balance cultivation with relaxation.
He wasn't like those evolvers who were nearing the end of their lifespan.
At his current age of twenty, he had plenty of time to enjoy himself.
"Hmm?"
"So many people are looking for me?"
Lin Yuan opened his message panel and discovered that during his seclusion, quite a few people had tried to visit him. His smart assistant had dealt with most of them, but there were seven or eight people who insisted on waiting for him to emerge from seclusion.
"Let's meet them."
Lin Yuan clicked to accept the visitors.
A middle-aged man with golden hair appeared before him.
"Greetings, Lin Yuan, my name is Zhou He, and I am from the Xiangwen Group of the Pu'an Star Domain."
The golden-haired middle-aged man greeted Lin Yuan with a slightly respectful attitude.
"The Xiangwen Group?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment.
He immediately recalled that this group was a rather famous group in the Pu'an Star Domain, with a Sixth Stage Fallen Star sitting in its headquarters.
The Pu'an Star Domain was a star domain adjacent to the Chi Kun Star Domain, and due to their proximity, there was frequent trade between the various forces of the two domains.
"Speak. What's the matter?" Lin Yuan asked casually.
"Our Xiangwen Group sincerely invites you, Lin Yuan, to join our reserve team for the next Arena Tournament," the golden-haired man said. "Name your conditions, and we will meet them."
"You want me to join your group and participate in the next Arena Tournament?" Lin Yuan glanced at the golden-haired man.
