Chapter 185: Which Peak Master Has Broken Through to the Seventh Stage? (End of Chapter) "Is little junior brother about to break through to the seventh stage?"
This was the first thought that came to the twelve Peak Masters' minds.
When an Evolver breaks through to a new realm, it's like a pebble dropping into a pond, creating ripples that can be sensed.
Ordinary people or weaker Evolvers might not notice it, but it can't escape the notice of sixth-stage or seventh-stage Evolvers.
Back when Lin Yuan made his breakthrough to the sixth stage on Canglan Star, his senior brother and the king of the Magic Rat Tribe had sensed it.
So, when the twelve Peak Masters present felt the signs of a breakthrough to the seventh stage coming from the main star of Chi Qiu, they immediately knew it originated from the Thirteenth Peak.
And that could only mean one thing—their little junior brother was breaking through.
"How long has it been?"
This was the second thought that popped into the twelve Peak Masters' minds.
Breaking through from the sixth stage to the seventh is no easy feat. It's a major threshold, and from the Fourth Peak Master to the Twelfth Peak Master, they were all still stuck at the peak of the sixth stage.
This fact alone highlighted the difficulty of the task.
In the minds of these nine sixth-stage Peak Masters, Lin Yuan possessed terrifying talent, and it was highly likely that he would reach the seventh stage before them.
But that would take time, wouldn't it?
How much time had passed since Lin Yuan reached the sixth stage? This was just unreasonable.
"Little junior brother?"
The First Peak Master blinked.
Not long ago, one of his clones had personally witnessed Lin Yuan's breakthrough to the sixth stage on Canglan Star.
And now, to his surprise, he was witnessing his little junior brother's advancement from the sixth stage to the seventh.
"Teacher, did you know little junior brother was about to break through?"
The Fourth Peak Master, Zuo Ge, swallowed and asked cautiously.
This time, the Master of Chi Qiu Star had specifically called them out without disturbing Lin Yuan. Now it seemed that he had had the foresight to do so.
Perhaps he had known something beforehand.
"Of course," Chi Qiu Star Master glanced at his disciples.
Previously, when Lin Yuan had sought his guidance on the basic spatial model, Chi Qiu Star Master had realized that Lin Yuan's understanding of spatial rules was exceptionally high, unlike that of a typical newcomer to the sixth stage.
Such a profound grasp of space meant that Lin Yuan's realm far surpassed the sixth stage. Coupled with his position as the Peak Master of the Chi Qiu lineage, he had an unlimited supply of 'Chi Qiu essence' to fuel his cultivation, without the need for slow energy accumulation.
Given these factors, Chi Qiu Star Master felt that it was only natural for Lin Yuan to break through to the seventh stage.
However, even Chi Qiu Star Master was surprised by Lin Yuan's choice to break through so quickly. He hadn't expected him to forgo further accumulation or seek guidance on the specifics of the seventh-stage breakthrough.
Of course, Chi Qiu Star Master hadn't interacted much with Lin Yuan.
But based on his understanding of his junior disciple, he knew that Lin Yuan was level-headed and wouldn't act without certainty. Even under the intense pressure from the Black Prison Family, he had maintained his composure and hidden his true identity.
Now that he had chosen to break through to the seventh stage, he must have absolute confidence.
"What kind of cultivation speed is this?"
"I'm still struggling at the sixth stage, and little junior brother is already at the seventh?"
"Isn't little junior brother still under thirty? A seventh-stage cultivator at thirty years old?"
"When I was thirty, I was still playing around at the fourth and fifth stages."
After snapping out of their astonishment, the twelve Peak Masters exclaimed in awe and quickly began to discuss this development.
The stronger one's strength, the clearer one could understand just how terrifying Lin Yuan's cultivation speed was.
In the long history of the Chi Qiu Star Domain and even the entire Annam Star Alliance, there had been seventh-stage cultivators who had achieved that level before the age of thirty.
However, most of these cultivators had numerous opportunities and had entered the sixth stage at a very young age, taking ten or even nearly twenty years to break through to the seventh stage.
As for Lin Yuan, he had reached the sixth stage less than two years ago, and now he was about to enter the seventh. Such a feat was probably extremely rare in the entire history of human civilization.
"According to the records of the Human Civilization Alliance, among those who reached the seventh stage before the age of thirty, ten percent remained at the seventh stage, twenty percent died due to various accidents, and seventy percent advanced to the eighth stage. In other words, as long as little junior brother stays alive, his advancement to the eighth stage is almost guaranteed."
The Second Senior Brother muttered, still finding it hard to believe.
Aside from everything else, Lin Yuan's terrifying cultivation speed alone would etch his name into the history of human civilization.
Even after millions or tens of millions of years in the future, when later-generation cultivators mentioned seventh-stage cultivators under thirty years old, they would undoubtedly think of Lin Yuan.
This breathtaking genius was actually their little junior brother?
"Alright."
"Enough talking."
"Pay close attention and feel it carefully. This isn't something you'll come across often."
Chi Qiu Star Master glanced at the Peak Masters once more and spoke.
"Yes."
The twelve Peak Masters immediately ceased their discussion.
Especially from the Fourth Peak Master to the Twelfth, they began to observe the proceedings with utmost seriousness.
When breaking through from the sixth stage to the seventh, one begins to influence the cosmos and the stars, and this subtle change could be slightly felt by those at the peak of the sixth stage.
Chi Qiu Main Star.
Deep within the grand hall of the Thirteenth Peak.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed.
At this moment, the energy within him was boiling to the extreme.
He needed only a single thought to enter the seventh stage.
"Next, I need to integrate the Yin-Yang Dao with the Spatial Dao and evolve a small taiji world."
As Lin Yuan sat there, the yin and yang forces in his dantian and nihility continuously clashed, giving rise to an enigmatic domain.
If Lin Yuan hadn't comprehended the 965 basic spatial models, this process would have stopped here.
In terms of the thickness and suppression of pure domains, it might have been far superior to those at the seventh stage, but it would still belong to the same category, falling far short of an eighth-stage cultivator.
But now?
"Space."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.
Threads of spatial force emerged from his dantian and nihility.
They continuously condensed into various spatial models, and the 900-plus basic spatial models acted like pillars, completely supporting an independent space within Lin Yuan's dantian and nihility.
"World."
Lin Yuan observed the changes within his dantian and nihility.
Creating a small space was not a difficult task for a sixth-stage cultivator. One only needed to comprehend one or two basic spatial models to achieve it.
In the world of immortals, a Celestial at the Spirit Transformation stage could briefly create a'sleeve space' using the heaven-grade technique 'World in the Sleeve'.
However, creating a small world was exceptionally challenging. Compared to the rigid nature of space, a world could continuously absorb external energy and grow.
The most formidable aspect of an eighth-stage cultivator was their ability to harness the power of their internal world with every move, unleashing a terrifying might that far surpassed that of an individual.
Additionally, with the support of an internal world, it was difficult for an eighth-stage cultivator to die. Even with severe injuries, they could recover.
Of course, The injuries mentioned here referred to physical wounds. As for soul injuries, it depended on the specific situation.
The soul was extremely mysterious. Over a million years ago, an eighth-stage cultivator named Ouyin had perished from a soul attack without being able to send out a message for help.
"It has already formed the embryonic form of a world."
Lin Yuan's attention was mostly focused on the independent space deep within his dantian and nihility, where the yin and yang forces were converging.
With the incorporation of the 965 basic spatial models, the taiji force formed by the yin and yang forces seemed to undergo a qualitative change, and the energy transformed and rapidly perfected itself.
Within the embryonic form of a small world, a faint outline emerged.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's expression suddenly changed.
Along with the emergence of the embryonic small world, Lin Yuan abruptly experienced an unprecedented sense of 'hunger'.
Hungry.
Hungry.
Hungry.
I'm starving.
The already formed embryo of the small world began to frantically absorb Lin Yuan's internal energy.
In fact, with Lin Yuan's control, he could easily cut off this absorption.
However, doing so might affect the foundation of the Taiji Small World.
"Luckily, I was prepared."
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly.
Bottles upon bottles of flasks appeared before him.
Inside were large quantities of 'Red Spirit Liquid'.
Long before his breakthrough, Lin Yuan had prepared everything in advance.
To create a world within his body, he would inevitably consume a vast amount of energy, and it was uncertain how long it would take to replenish it through his own absorption.
Thus, Lin Yuan had requested an ample supply of 'Red Spirit Liquid' beforehand.
The 'Red Spirit Liquid' could compensate for the energy consumption within his body and had many uses. The Chi Kun lineage had a stable channel to obtain this resource.
In terms of replenishing one's self, the effect of universe crystals should far surpass that of the Red Spirit Liquid. These were resources even eighth-stage and stronger Evolvers would need.
But Lin Yuan was reluctant to use them.
Although he had acquired a thousand sides of universe crystals from Ou Yin's legacy, these were considered 'hard currency' among the various cosmic races. Using one would mean having one less.
While the Red Spirit Liquid might be less effective, it was free.
"Eat up, eat up."
Lin Yuan gulped down mouthfuls of the 'Red Spirit Liquid', and the gentle power flowed through his limbs and bones, quickly entering the dantian and the sea of qi.
The Taiji Small World embryo rapidly solidified at a visible rate.
Above the Chi Kun Main Star.
The Chi Kun Star Master and the twelve Peak Masters were carefully observing Lin Yuan's breath and its changes during his breakthrough.
"Hmm, little junior brother has a very stable foundation. He must have made thorough preparations, and his breakthrough doesn't seem to have encountered any setbacks. But why has he stopped at the peak of the sixth stage for so long?"
The Third Senior Brother was also observing carefully. Although he had already entered the seventh stage long ago, there was no harm in observing and feeling it more.
"Unclear."
"Perhaps he's sensing the subtle changes from the sixth stage to the seventh?"
"Maybe. Little junior brother is truly unique among other Evolvers, even us. When breaking through from the sixth stage to the seventh, one would normally rush to enter it immediately, but little junior brother is so leisurely about it."
The Second Senior Brother sighed.
For a sixth-stage Evolver, entering the seventh stage was absolutely the most eagerly anticipated event.
There was no sixth-stage Evolver who could linger at the threshold of the seventh stage without immediately stepping through.
"Based on the current changes in his breath, little junior brother's entry into the seventh stage should be stable."
The First Senior Brother concluded. In just under two years, Lin Yuan had completed the entire process from the sixth stage to the seventh, and his breakthrough was exceptionally smooth.
The First Senior Brother felt that Lin Yuan was simply a freak.
Recalling his own breakthrough to the seventh stage and the many setbacks and hardships he had endured, he couldn't help but compare it to Lin Yuan's smooth journey.
"Hmm?"
Unlike the twelve Peak Masters who were filled with emotion, the Chi Kun Star Master's expression remained calm, but his heart was filled with uncertainty.
"Why do I sense the opening of a space?"
The Chi Kun Star Master carefully sensed the changes in the breath coming from the Thirteenth Peak.
Fearing that he might disturb Lin Yuan's breakthrough, the Chi Kun Star Master dared not extend his perception into the Thirteenth Peak, and could only rely on his experience and the fluctuations of spatial force to speculate about what was happening.
"Could it be?"
The Chi Kun Star Master, whose main body was the space special life form 'Star Roaming Kun', was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations.
At this moment, he faintly sensed that the spatial fluctuations produced by Lin Yuan's breakthrough were somewhat different from a normal sixth-stage breakthrough to the seventh.
"Is it a special spatial treasure, or..."
The Chi Kun Star Master thought for a moment and couldn't help but speculate.
He was merely curious and had no other intentions. Any sixth- or seventh-stage Evolver would likely have some sort of special opportunity.
He, the Chi Kun Star Master, had such opportunities, and so did the twelve Peak Masters. It was only natural that Lin Yuan, as his disciple, would possess a special spatial treasure.
Time passed.
Half a day went by.
"It seems to have stabilized now."
"Let's go outside the Thirteenth Peak and wait."
After sensing that Lin Yuan's breath had completely entered the seventh stage, the Chi Kun Star Master brought the twelve Peak Masters outside the Thirteenth Peak.
"Little junior brother, you've really kept us in the dark."
"Indeed, this time we must ask him how he cultivated."
"Hey, what should we call him when we see him? Should it be senior brother or junior brother?"
The twelve Peak Masters chatted among themselves, and from the Fourth Peak Master to the Twelfth, they felt a bit conflicted.
In the universe's human civilization, unless they were direct blood relatives, the stronger person was generally considered the senior.
In other words, even if a seventh-stage Evolver was younger, a sixth-stage Evolver would still have to address them as a senior.
The Fourth Peak Master and the others were not unwilling to call Lin Yuan senior brother, but since they had called him junior brother so many times before, they now felt a little awkward about the sudden change in their relationship.
Chi Kun Main Star.
As the most prosperous planet in a star domain.
The Chi Kun Main Star was home to countless powerful Evolvers. Fourth-stage and fifth-stage Evolvers were common, and there were quite a few sixth-stage Descenders, and even some seventh-stage ones.
Under the perception of so many powerful beings, the breakthrough breath coming from the center of the main star naturally attracted the attention of many sixth-stage Evolvers.
"Someone from the Chi Kun lineage has broken through to the seventh stage?"
"The Chi Kun Star Master's guidance of his disciples is truly remarkable."
"Indeed, it's just a shame that the Chi Kun Star Master rarely takes in disciples. In the past ten thousand years, he's only taken in the Thirteenth Peak Master."
The sixth-stage Evolvers on the main star chatted among themselves, praising the Chi Kun Star Master's teaching methods.
"By the way."
"Do you think it's one of the Peak Masters who broke through to the seventh stage?"
A curious sixth-stage Evolver asked.
They were unaware that the twelve Peak Masters were not currently on the Chi Kun Main Star.
"It should be the Fourth Peak Master. He's been at the sixth stage the longest, has the deepest accumulation, and is closest to the seventh stage."
"I don't think so. The Sixth Peak Master has the best talent and a special body constitution. Among the Chi Kun Star Master's disciples, I think he's the most likely to reach the seventh stage."
"The Sixth Peak Master does have a high probability, but a few years ago, he was injured in a battle with a foreign race, which might affect his breakthrough to the seventh stage. I think the Eighth Peak Master is most likely."
"The Eighth Peak Master? I think it's the Fifth Peak Master."
The many sixth-stage Evolvers discussed and guessed among themselves, considering each of the Peak Masters from the Fourth to the Twelfth.
These nine Peak Masters were all at the peak of the sixth stage, and as disciples of the Star Master, any one of them had the potential to reach the seventh stage.
Although the sixth-stage Evolvers had differing opinions, there was one unanimous consensus, or rather, an assumption.
And that was that the Peak Master currently breaking through was definitely not the Thirteenth Peak Master.
