"I've regained my full strength."

Lin Yuan's smile faded, and his eyes regained their calm.

Sixth-stage, equivalent to a Refining Void Ancient Sage in this realm.

This was already comparable to the strongest in the present age; even the Master of the Dao De Xian Zong sect, wielding the Town Sect Immortal Mirror, would find it difficult to completely defeat a Refining Void Ancient Sage. At most, they could only suppress and restrain such a formidable opponent. The means and abilities of these Ancient Sages were truly unfathomable.

"Advancing from the first stage to the sixth stage was not a challenge for me; it was merely a matter of retracing my steps. Now, the real focus is on the path of cultivation for the sixth stage."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

To establish the sixth stage of the Martial Arts Evolution System would take time, even with his Heaven-defying Comprehension. It was not something that could be achieved overnight.

He would need to continuously experiment and explore, choosing the most suitable path from numerous directions.

For this journey through the cosmos, Lin Yuan had set himself two goals.

First, he aimed to establish the sixth stage of the Martial Arts Evolution System as much as possible.

He intended to cultivate at least to the pinnacle of the sixth stage during his five hundred years of allotted time, which Lin Yuan believed was feasible.

Second, he wanted to spread the Martial Arts Evolution System, firmly rooting his path in this world to facilitate his future 'ultimate leap'.

"The cultivation system of Immortals in this realm is worth studying and drawing inspiration from."

Lin Yuan contemplated. The Martial Arts Evolution Path he had founded drew sustenance from various other evolution paths, and now he intended to incorporate elements from the Immortal cultivation system as well.

Of course, Lin Yuan was mindful of priorities. His reference to the Immortal evolution path was just that—a reference.

No matter how many cultivation systems and evolution paths he drew from, the Martial Arts cultivation system retained its core. It was essential to distinguish between the primary and secondary influences; otherwise, how could it still be called the Martial Arts Evolution Path?

The Martial Arts Evolution Path was the culmination of Lin Yuan's heart's blood and bore the strong imprint of his personal journey. It was like a towering tree; one could trim its branches, but its trunk and roots must not be touched.

"Next, I can allocate some energy to advancing my physical cultivation to the Refining Void stage."

Lin Yuan had made up his mind.

The Physical Cultivation lineage was an extension of the Immortal cultivation system, and it resonated well with the Martial Arts Evolution Path.

Both shared a focus on the exploration and enhancement of the physical body.

However, in the hundreds of thousands of years of the Central Plains, no physical cultivator had ever reached the Refining Void stage.

But Lin Yuan was different. He believed that he could achieve what countless prodigies of the past in this realm had failed to do.

Now that he had regained his sixth-stage Martial Arts prowess, his immensely powerful physique would accelerate his progress in physical cultivation.

With his Heaven-defying Comprehension guiding the direction, it was only a matter of time before he blazed a trail and became an unprecedented Physical Refining Void cultivator.

The reason Lin Yuan chose to allocate resources to physical cultivation was that, according to his calculations, a Refining Void physical cultivator would almost certainly give birth to physical divine abilities.

These abilities, which could greatly enhance one's capabilities in certain aspects, piqued Lin Yuan's curiosity.

Additionally, by studying the Physical Cultivation lineage, he would also gain insights that could benefit his Martial Arts Evolution Path. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

As Lin Yuan secluded himself in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land for cultivation and enlightenment, the East Sea Archipelago was thrown into turmoil.

This was due to two main events. The first was the imminent emergence of the White Jade Island.

After incubating at the bottom of the deep sea for two millennia, White Jade Island's reappearance would bring forth not just a cultivation sacred ground comparable to the Central Plains, but also fully mature spiritual herbs and immortal roots.

The emergence of White Jade Island every two thousand years had become a predictable event, so when the island had sunk two millennia ago, many cultivators had taken the opportunity to plant spiritual herbs and immortal roots on the island in advance.

The East Sea was a vibrant scarlet, its waters rippling like blood.

Deep within the Blood Demon Sea sat an island where a man clad in a blood-red robe sat cross-legged. Before him hung a holographic projection of Lin Yuan's Yang God obliterating the Black Silk Archipelago.

"The Sun Real Fire?" The man in the blood-red robe mused, a slight curve lifting the corners of his mouth. "It's been so long since a Sun Real Fire user has appeared."

The Sun Real Fire was the ultimate yang fire, capable of incinerating everything in its path.

"Seems like he's not from the Dao Sect." The man fell into contemplation before calling out, "Attend to me."

"Master," a voice echoed from the surrounding sea of blood, and a figure emerged, bowing respectfully.

"Go and find out about this person, and be careful not to offend him. An enemy of the Xian Zong is a friend of mine, understood?" The man in the blood-red robe spoke calmly.

In the depths of the Yummy Ghost Palace, a withered man sat upon a dark and eerie throne. "A sun real fire user of this caliber..." he frowned. Even as a ghost cultivator who had reached the Refining Void stage, he still felt an innate repulsion towards the extremely yang fire.

However, the withered man was well aware that this mysterious powerhouse, who commanded the Sun Real Fire, likely held a grudge against the Dao De Xian Zong sect. And as such, regardless of what powers he possessed, he would be an ally of the Yummy Ghost Palace.

"Little Six," the withered man called out, and a frail-looking woman appeared. If one looked closely, they would notice that her figure was slightly transparent, a sign of a ghost cultivator. "Go to the East Sea," he instructed. "Find out as much as you can about this person. Remember, he may be our ally, so do not act rashly."

Time passed, and five years went by in the blink of an eye.

In the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in his cultivation chamber. The blood within his body flowed like mighty rivers, and the scorching qi blood caused the temperature in the entire chamber to soar, distorting the air itself.

"My physical cultivation has reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage," Lin Yuan said as he opened his eyes, calming his qi blood. "I'm almost ready to attempt the Refining Void stage."

"I can sense that a certain power within the depths of my bloodline is awakening. Is this the bodily divine ability?" Anticipation filled Lin Yuan's face.

Bodily divine abilities were unique to each person, arising from the latent power hidden within their bloodline. Before the ability fully awakened, no one knew what form it would take. However, regardless of the ability, it would undoubtedly be of great use to a cultivator, providing them with power independent of the immortal cultivation system.

"There's no rush," Lin Yuan said as he ceased his cultivation. Over the past five years, in addition to advancing his physical cultivation from the initial stage to the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, he had also progressed in his martial arts cultivation system from the first segment of the sixth stage to the third segment.

According to the immortal cultivation system of this realm, Lin Yuan was now at the pinnacle of the Refining Void stage. "Speaking of which, the White Jade Island should be emerging soon," he mused, his heart stirring as he looked towards the East Sea.

News of the island's imminent emergence had spread five or six years ago, but the process of its rise from the depths of the deep sea to the ocean's surface was a lengthy one. Still, even with its slow ascent, it was about to break the surface.

"This is perfect timing," Lin Yuan thought. "If I want to spread the martial arts cultivation system and establish a power base, I'll need territory. The Dao De Xian Zong has their Dao De Immortal Mountain, the Blood Demon Master controls the north, the Ghost King rules the south, and the Wild Demon Saint dominates the west. As for me, I shall start with this White Jade Island."

Lin Yuan's plan was to first secure the island, then recruit disciples and spread the martial arts cultivation system. With his vision, he estimated that within two hundred years, his influence would sweep across the East Sea Archipelago, and in three hundred years, his martial arts cultivation system would stand shoulder to shoulder with the cultivation systems of the Dao, Demon, Ghost, and Beast Clans, rivaling even the Dao De Xian Zong sect.

As for how far the martial arts cultivation system would ultimately go, it depended on the heights Lin Yuan could reach in his own cultivation.

In the East Sea Archipelago, Lin Yuan's Yang God stood tall in the clouds, gazing into the distance. "White Jade Island," he murmured. At that moment, the island was a fountain of spiritual energy, spewing vast amounts of qi in all directions as if it were the source of all spiritual energy in the East Sea.

Deep within the East Sea, an overwhelming aura of spiritual energy swept across the area.

A massive island slowly emerged from beneath the ocean's surface.

Unwilling to back down, one of the Celestial Lords spoke up, "I refuse to accept this!"

"Who might that be?" White Bone Celestial Lord asked arrogantly. "With my strength, even if that mysterious powerhouse shows up, what could he possibly do?"

White Bone Celestial Lord's confidence was not without basis. Based on the residual aura from the Black Silk Archipelago incident, the outside world assessed that the mysterious powerhouse was at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm. There was no way he had reached the Ancient Sage realm of Refining Void.

Since that was the case, White Bone Celestial Lord had nothing to fear.

You are at the pinnacle of Nascent Soul, and so am I. Who's afraid of whom? Even if I can't beat you, you won't be able to defeat me either.

"Alright, enough." White Bone Celestial Lord grew impatient. "Are there any other objections?"

He was eager to descend and immerse himself in the rich spiritual energy of White Jade Island without further ado.

The surrounding Nascent Soul Celestial Lords exchanged glances but ultimately lacked the courage to challenge White Bone Celestial Lord. After all, he was a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Hmph!" White Bone Celestial Lord glared at them and coldly huffed before turning to enter White Jade Island.

Just then, a figure slowly flew out from below, from White Jade Island itself.

"Someone already went inside White Jade Island?" one of the Celestial Lords blurted out, confused.

They had been keeping watch outside the island, so how could someone have slipped past them?

Yin Shan Celestial Lord's expression changed as he sensed the newcomer's aura. "It's that mysterious powerhouse!"

"Yes, the aura is unmistakable," another Celestial Lord confirmed.

The group of Celestial Lords braced themselves as the figure walking out of White Jade Island exuded the power of the sun, making it difficult to look directly at him.

"The mysterious powerhouse?" White Bone Celestial Lord's expression turned solemn.

Although he had anticipated that he might encounter this mysterious powerhouse, who was also at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul realm, he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of Nascent Soul Celestial Lords, Lin Yuan ascended and positioned himself at their level.

White Bone Celestial Lord's face twisted with anger, but he finally suppressed the urge to attack. Before understanding the mysterious powerhouse's intentions, it was best to maintain peace.

Seeing that even White Bone Celestial Lord held back, the other Celestial Lords naturally dared not act rashly.

Lin Yuan calmly regarded the group of Nascent Soul Celestial Lords. "Eight hundred side doors, three thousand heretical paths, I am the Lord of White Jade Island. Is it to be, or is it not to be?"

With a slight smile on his lips, Lin Yuan's soft-spoken words reached every Celestial Lord, and even the countless East Sea cultivators below could hear them clearly.

The Celestial Lords exchanged glances, unsure how to respond, but their gazes shifted towards White Bone Celestial Lord.

White Bone Celestial Lord only wanted half of White Jade Island's core area, but this mysterious powerhouse aimed to take over the entire island.

White Bone Celestial Lord glared at Lin Yuan, his face twisting with anger. What a bold claim! Did he think White Bone Celestial Lord was one of those ordinary Nascent Soul Celestial Lords?

Who did he think he was, claiming to be the Lord of White Jade Island without even consulting him?

Seeing that no one responded, Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the Celestial Lords once more, his expression gradually turning icy. "Whether it is or isn't, that's how it will be!"

Boom! His words were like an imperial decree.

White Bone Celestial Lord's face contorted with shock, and the surrounding Celestial Lords also wore looks of fear.

"Greetings, Lord of White Jade Island," White Bone Celestial Lord said, immediately bowing deeply to Lin Yuan.

The rest of the Celestial Lords followed suit, bowing together. "Greetings, Lord of White Jade Island."
