Chapter 174: Harvest, Upload, and the Black Prison Family's End
Chapter 174: Harvest, Upload, and the Black Prison Family's End (End of Chapter)
In the main star of Chi Kun.
Deep within the palaces of the thirteen peaks.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Finally back,"
he murmured, taking in the familiar surroundings with a sigh of relief.
His time in the Central Earth world had greatly impacted Lin Yuan, especially his final breakthrough to the Seventh Plane, even if it wasn't the Seventh Plane he desired.
Nonetheless, it had exposed him to sights previously beyond his reach.
The higher you stand, the farther and wider your vision becomes.
"I hope this backup plan never needs to be used,"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan had intentionally returned to the Central Earth world to properly secure his physical body in a secret location.
The purpose of this action was to ensure that one day, if he ever returned to the Central Earth world, he could immediately reclaim his left-behind physical body and rapidly regain his peak strength in that realm.
After breaking through to the Sixth Stage, the Myriad Worlds Gate revealed more of its 'functions', including the ability to return to previously visited worlds.
However, even with this ability, Lin Yuan would choose to descend with only his consciousness, as physical travel was not only dangerous but also more consuming of 'Boundary Source Power'.
With only his consciousness, he would have to start cultivating from scratch, regardless of his previous cultivation base, and slowly work his way up.
But with the physical body he had left behind, everything would be much simpler.
All he needed to do was separate his consciousness, enter that body, and he would regain his peak strength in the Central Earth world.
Of course, while he had this backup plan in place, Lin Yuan did not wish to resort to it.
Because that would mean— Something unexpected had happened in the Central Earth world, threatening the stability of the martial arts cultivation system.
Returning to the Central Earth world required the consumption of ten strands of 'Boundary Source Power'.
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan would not make such a choice.
"The Spirit World,"
Lin Yuan mused, his expression thoughtful.
During the last thirty years of his stay, Lin Yuan had wandered alone in the chaotic flows of space outside the world, occasionally gazing upon the massive Spirit World that loomed high above.
It was a behemoth that far surpassed the Central Earth world, radiating an aura that ensnared millions of lower realms, including the Central Earth world, in its grasp.
"It's a pity that directly ascending to the Spirit World is still a bit risky and unnecessary,"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Undoubtedly, the Spirit World existed on a much higher plane than the Central Earth world, housing powerful beings comparable to Eighth-Stage existences in the Main World, and perhaps even beyond.
If Lin Yuan, as a Unity Stage ascender, were to enter the Spirit World, he would undoubtedly attract a lot of attention.
In such a situation, even if Lin Yuan descended with only his consciousness, fearless of death, he could not guarantee absolute safety.
In the face of those true powerhouses, Lin Yuan might not be able to die even if he wanted to, and he might end up being 'soul-searched', exposing information about the Main World.
Moreover, Lin Yuan's decision not to enter the Spirit World through the Ascension Platform was based on similar reasoning.
Although the ancestor of the Moral Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm had sworn an oath to him, if he truly ascended to the Spirit World and fell into the hands of those Unity Stage immortals, unforeseen accidents could still occur.
Lin Yuan never put himself in a position of passivity.
Furthermore, now that he possessed the coordinates of the Spirit World, he could enter it without anyone's knowledge, making the risk unnecessary.
At least, as long as he didn't enter the Spirit World through the Ascension Platform, the martial arts cultivation system of the Central Earth world would not be suppressed, and the ancestors of the Immortal Sect in the Upper Realm would remain wary—
of the possibility of Lin Yuan suddenly appearing.
"No more thinking about that,"
Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts, deciding to no longer concern himself with the affairs of the Central Earth world now that he had left.
"The harvest from this journey,"
Lin Yuan felt pleased. In his five hundred years in the Central Earth world, he had not only reached the pinnacle of the Sixth Stage but had also explored a path to the Seventh Stage.
It was common knowledge that for a Sixth Stage evolutionary from the Main World to enter the Seventh Stage, one would have to pay an unimaginable price, including perfecting their evolutionary path, physical body, and soul.
Among the disciples of Chi Kun, the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Twelfth Senior Brothers were all true evolutionary geniuses, and with the guidance of the Star Master, they still found themselves stuck at the Sixth Stage.
This wasn't due to a lack of ability but rather the sheer difficulty of transcending from the Sixth Stage to the Seventh Stage.
It was a transformation of one's life essence, even more challenging than the transition from the Fifth to the Sixth Stage.
Lin Yuan deeply understood this, having forcibly stepped into the Seventh Stage himself and experiencing the gap in power.
"Space,"
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In the last few decades of his fifth journey, Lin Yuan's understanding of space had skyrocketed like a rocket.
Amidst the chaotic flows of space, Lin Yuan witnessed the other side of space—a side filled with destruction—and when compared to the calm, stable, and orderly space of the Main World, his rebellious insight allowed him to directly comprehend the essence of space.
It could be said that on this journey, Lin Yuan's harvest in terms of the rules of space surpassed even his breakthrough to the Seventh Stage.
"I can sense that the Seventh Stage of martial arts I seek is related to the rules of space, but I haven't been able to create a satisfactory Seventh Stage chapter because my understanding of the rules of space is still insufficient,"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The rules of space were vast and boundless, serving as the primary rules that supported the existence of the worlds. The more Lin Yuan comprehended, the more insignificant he felt within the grand scheme of the rules of space.
If, in the past, Lin Yuan had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, with only a well-mouth's worth of view, that would represent his understanding of the rules of space.
Now, however, Lin Yuan had climbed out of the well and beheld an even more vast and infinite sky.
"Slowly ponder and comprehend,"
"I'm in no rush,"
Lin Yuan mused to himself.
"Although I haven't figured out a perfect Seventh Stage chapter for martial arts, the Sixth Stage chapter is almost complete. I should organize it and upload it to the Wisdom Goddess,"
he thought, rubbing his glabella. The Sixth Stage chapter of martial arts incorporated the deep exploration of the physical body by the body cultivation lineage.
In theory, an evolutionary who had cultivated to the Sixth Stage had the potential to manifest a physical body divine ability.
Of course, the specific type of physical body divine ability would depend on the divine ability fragment hidden within their bloodline.
Nevertheless, even if it were just an auxiliary divine ability, it would still be of great use to an evolutionary.
Unlike secret techniques, divine abilities did not require any restrictive conditions to be activated; one merely needed to will it, and it would be activated.
"Regenerate from a Drop of Blood,"
Lin Yuan's internal energy began to fluctuate, and strands of qi and blood intertwined and collided, faintly forming a mysterious pattern.
This was the 'Regenerate from a Drop of Blood' divine ability that Lin Yuan had comprehended in the Central Earth world at a great cost and then deduced based on his physical body from the Main World.
This ability was unique to Lin Yuan, and even if others acquired it, they would not be able to form the ability's imprint.
"Strictly speaking, my current physical body can also condense a new physical body divine ability?"
Lin Yuan wondered to himself.
After all, his current physical body's primordial spirit had only recently entered the Sixth Stage, and if he were to complete the Sixth Stage chapter he had created, it would naturally give birth to a new physical body divine ability.
"I'll try it later,"
"For now, let's organize the Sixth Stage chapter and upload it,"
Lin Yuan said, unhurried.
A day or two later...
Lin Yuan had more or less organized the Martial Arts Sixth Stage chapter, tailoring it to be more suitable for the humans of the Main World.
He then connected to the 'Wisdom Goddess'.
"Honored Citizen Lin Yuan, the Wisdom Goddess is pleased to be of service to you."
The dignified and chilly voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
"I wish to upload the Sixth Stage chapter of the Martial Evolution Path." Lin Yuan stated.
And with that, he began uploading the contents of the Sixth Stage chapter.
"Please hold, Citizen Lin Yuan. The Wisdom Goddess is conducting a full evaluation," the Wisdom Goddess responded after receiving the Martial Arts Sixth Stage chapter, immediately commencing her assessment.
"Come to think of it, the Immortal Cultivation System has never appeared in the Main World before," Lin Yuan mused, as if struck by a sudden realization.
He could easily upload the Immortal Cultivation System to the Wisdom Goddess and receive a reward for it.
However, after some contemplation, Lin Yuan abandoned the idea.
The Immortal Cultivation System was undoubtedly established by some powerful being, and by spreading it in the Main World, he would essentially be doing that being a favor.
When it came to 'The Ultimate Leap', Lin Yuan was not willing to work for free.
Furthermore, while the Immortal Cultivation System had a high upper limit, reaching the Seventh, Eighth, and even Ninth Stages...
Its restrictions were significant. For instance, it required spiritual energy and a spiritual root. In the Main World's starry cosmos, there were many types of energy, but energy similar to spiritual energy was scarce.
Most importantly, spiritual roots. As far as Lin Yuan knew, humans in the Main World did not possess spiritual roots.
If he were to upload the Immortal Cultivation System, the first thing he would have to do was modify it to suit the humans of the Main World, finding a substitute for spiritual roots.
This would be too costly in terms of time and energy. Lin Yuan would be better off continuing to comprehend the Martial Evolution Path and pushing it to a higher level, a far more worthwhile endeavor.
As he awaited the Wisdom Goddess' final evaluation, Lin Yuan began reviewing other information.
During his five hundred years in the Central Earth world, only four months had passed in the Main World.
Lin Yuan opened the information records and browsed through them.
"The Sun Saint."
Lin Yuan noticed a message from the Sun Saint, sent a month ago.
The gist of the message was that the Sun Saint had broken through to the Sixth Stage and wished to spar with Lin Yuan again.
The Sun Saint possessed the rare 'Nine Yang Divine Vein' and had slept within a star for a hundred years, accumulating profound depth. Only upon reaching the Sixth Stage could he truly unleash his full potential.
At the peak of the Fifth Stage, Lin Yuan had sparred with the Sun Saint and overwhelmed him.
The Sun Saint still remembered this, clear about Lin Yuan's unique evolution path and his perfectly harmonized soul, which led to an abnormally large increase in power.
However, at the Sixth Stage, the competition was no longer just about evolution paths. One's innate constitution and depth of cultivation also came into play.
After breaking through to the Sixth Stage, the Sun Saint felt the qualitative change in his strength, and his confidence returned. He wanted to spar with Lin Yuan again to wash away his previous shame.
He hadn't won against Lin Yuan, but at the very least, he wanted to avoid being crushed as before, where Lin Yuan had defeated him with just a few palms.
"Spar with me."
Lin Yuan fell silent at the Sun Saint's request.
In the Sun Saint's eyes, Lin Yuan was also a newcomer to the Sixth Stage, which was why he felt confident in challenging him.
However, in reality...
Lin Yuan had already reached the pinnacle of the Sixth Stage and had even embarked on a certain Seventh Stage path.
The gap between him and the Sun Saint was now infinitely wider than when they were both at the peak of the Fifth Stage.
Back then, the Sun Saint could withstand a few palms from Lin Yuan.
But now...
"Never mind."
"It's not worth wasting my time."
Lin Yuan shook his head. With his current strength, sparring with the Sun Saint would be akin to bullying someone weaker.
Previously, Lin Yuan had sparred with the Sun Saint because he could gain insights from the encounter.
But now, the gap between them was too wide for any meaningful comparison.
Lin Yuan replied to the Sun Saint with a simple 'I'm busy lately', and then continued browsing through the subsequent messages.
"The Black Prison Family."
Lin Yuan saw messages from several of his senior brothers.
Since he had instructed them to seclude himself before his departure, they had only left him messages.
"The Black Prison Family has connections with foreign races?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned peculiar as he read the messages.
Before publicly revealing his identity as one of the thirteen peak masters, Lin Yuan had some conflicts with Black Prison Claw of the Black Prison Family.
Black Prison Claw then used the influence of the Black Prison Family to suppress Lin Yuan.
Later, after Lin Yuan broke through to the Sixth Stage and revealed his identity, the Black Prison Family became fearful. Black Prison Mo even brought Black Prison Claw to the Chi Kun main star to beg for forgiveness.
However, Lin Yuan was busy imprinting his life mark into the universe's stars at the time and did not bother with them.
Afterward, his senior brothers asked for his opinion on the matter.
Lin Yuan expressed that he did not intend to reconcile with the Black Prison Family.
With Lin Yuan's stance clear, his senior brothers knew what to do. They planned to use various means to suppress the Black Prison Family and let them fall into decline.
This was the consequence of offending one of the Chi Kun lineage's peak masters.
Even the five major powers of the Chi Kun Star Domain were essentially pets of the Chi Kun lineage. While they had some leeway in other matters, betraying their master was not tolerated.
Originally, according to his second senior brother's intentions, they would only make things difficult for the Black Prison Family and thoroughly investigate them in various aspects.
After all, a power like the Black Prison Family, which had been operating for hundreds of thousands of years, couldn't withstand a detailed investigation.
Any minor excuse would suffice.
To show his loyalty to Lin Yuan, the second senior brother took charge of the investigation of the Black Prison Family.
However, this investigation led to an unexpected discovery.
The Black Prison Family was suspected of having connections with foreign races.
The second senior brother didn't find concrete evidence of the Black Prison Family's collusion with foreign races.
But sometimes, evidence wasn't necessary. After discovering this, the second senior brother immediately decided to take control of Black Prison Mo.
Regardless, the first step was to take away Black Prison Mo, the highest authority of the Black Prison Family.
To be cautious, the second senior brother secretly contacted the Chi Kun Star Master.
Under the watchful eye of the Chi Kun Star Master, Black Prison Mo had no room for resistance.
After being taken away, he underwent a 'Soul Search' by an Eighth Stage evolutionist specialized in soul techniques from the Human Alliance.
For a powerhouse like Black Prison Mo, he could easily control his memories, and ordinary soul searches were useless.
However, an Eighth Stage evolutionist in soul techniques could construct a vast illusory world, in which all of Black Prison Mo's memories from childhood would unfold.
Only an Eighth Stage evolutionist in soul techniques could achieve this, and such powerful beings were extremely rare.
"The Black Prison Family... It's over for them," Lin Yuan shook his head.
If they had merely offended him, the Black Prison Family would have only faced 'decline' and could have exited gracefully.
After all, the laws of the Human Alliance would not allow such a large family to come to any serious harm.
His senior brothers' methods of dealing with the Black Prison Family were also limited to investigations, which complied with the Alliance's laws.
However, colluding with foreign races was equivalent to betraying the Human Alliance. Whether or not other members of the Black Prison Family were aware of it, their fate was sealed.
Just as Lin Yuan was lost in thought...
A dignified and chilly voice echoed.
"Honored Sixth Stage Citizen Lin Yuan, the evaluation of the Sixth Stage chapter you uploaded has been completed."
The Wisdom Goddess spoke.
