Chapter 255: Lin Yuan's Strength
Chapter 255: Lin Yuan's Strength (End of Chapter)
In a vast underground world spanning tens of thousands of miles, Lin Yuan sat alone, his aura so terrifying that it caused the space around him to distort.
"The Martial Arts Eighth Tier manual has reached the second stage," Lin Yuan said as he retracted his aura, nodding in satisfaction. "The Immortal Cultivation techniques have been quite helpful in perfecting the Eighth Tier."
"However, from the second stage onwards, the difficulty of breakthroughs will soar exponentially. But with my heaven-defying comprehension talent, it's merely a matter of time and effort."
In Lin Yuan's vision, the Martial Arts Eighth Tier would consist of four stages, similar to most Eighth Tier evolution paths in the main world.
However, when it came to the specific cultivation content, Lin Yuan had pushed himself to the extreme of his current abilities. Creating an ordinary Eighth Tier evolution path would not require such dedication.
But the Martial Arts Eighth Tier was crucial to Lin Yuan's cultivation journey, so he couldn't afford to be careless.
"My current realm has also naturally stepped into the Eighth Tier's second stage."
If it weren't for his exposure to the Immortal Cultivation system in the Spirit Realm and other cultivation systems, allowing him to reshape his Martial Arts evolution path multiple times, he estimated that it would have taken him several more decades to reach this level.
"However, when I returned to the Eighth Tier, I didn't reencounter the Heart Demon Tribulation, nor did I experience the Physical Tribulation that Crossing Tribulation Immortal Kings must face."
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.
He could guess the reason for the absence of the Physical Tribulation—it was unique to those who cultivated Immortal Cultivation techniques.
Although Lin Yuan had borrowed insights from various Immortal Cultivation systems, his foundation remained rooted in the Martial Arts evolution path, freeing him from the Physical Tribulation that plagued Immortal Cultivators.
As for the Heart Demon Tribulation, Lin Yuan believed that his mental fortitude had already undergone a transformation, rendering it unnecessary to experience it again.
"I've been here for over nine hundred years, and only a hundred have passed in the outside world. I still have ample time to perfect the remaining three stages of the Eighth Tier."
Lin Yuan was confident about this.
"Once the Eighth Tier is perfected, the Martial Arts evolution path will become an Eighth Tier evolution path. I estimate that among all the Eighth Tier evolution paths in human history, it will rank quite highly."
Lin Yuan stood up and left the underground world, emerging onto the surface.
This underground world was a site he had stumbled upon over ninety years ago, likely the remains of an ancient sect.
Later, he had remodeled it into his personal cultivation ground.
"Space."
Lin Yuan took a step and, riding the waves of spatial fluctuations, arrived outside Xiaoyao City in the blink of an eye.
The underground world where Lin Yuan cultivated was at least tens of thousands of miles away from Xiaoyao City, but with his mastery over spatial rules, it was merely a single step away.
Over the past hundred years, Lin Yuan had not only restored his strength and perfected the Martial Arts Eighth Tier, but he had also never stopped his pursuit of understanding spatial rules.
Currently, Lin Yuan had comprehended over four thousand core spatial models, and his internal world had expanded to a size of four million miles.
This four million-mile size referred purely to the dimensions of his internal world, sustained solely by spatial rules.
It had not been amplified by the mysterious gourd from the main world.
If the fivefold base amplification from before his shuttle trips were applied, Lin Yuan's internal world would be around twenty million miles in size.
An internal world of such vast dimensions far surpassed the thousand-mile limit imposed on human evolvers.
The world power generated by such an enormous internal world could likely withstand a few blows from an Eighth Tier invincible expert.
"I should bring that mysterious gourd over when I have the time," Lin Yuan thought to himself as he entered Xiaoyao City.
A hundred years ago, Lin Yuan hadn't been strong enough, so he hadn't brought the gourd with him, fearing unforeseen circumstances.
But now? Even facing a Crossing Tribulation Immortal King from the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan stood fearless.
"This time, I've also refined a new physical mystical ability."
Lin Yuan's thoughts turned to the Martial Arts Sixth Tier, which involved the condensation of a physical mystical ability derived from one's bloodline.
Different bodies and bloodlines would result in different physical mystical abilities.
In the world of China, Lin Yuan's physical mystical ability was 'Blood Rebirth'.
In the main world, his true body's physical mystical ability was 'Mountain Moving'.
And now, in his eighth shuttle body in the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan's physical mystical ability was 'Enhancement'.
Once activated, 'Enhancement' would cause Lin Yuan's physical body, qi and blood, soul, mental fortitude, and willpower to surge tenfold.
Even the world power within his internal world would be amplified tenfold.
Although the 'Enhancement' mystical ability didn't last long, only enduring for ten breaths, and Lin Yuan's strength would temporarily weaken by two to three percent after using it, there was no doubt that it was an ultimate trump card.
In battles between strong experts, a single instant could decide the victor, let alone ten breaths?
Moreover, the tenfold boost to his physical body, qi and blood, soul, mental fortitude, and willpower would have an impact far beyond a simple tenfold increase in strength.
With this mystical ability, even an ordinary Eighth Tier peak evolver could challenge an Eighth Tier invincible expert.
Of course, it was already incredible to be able to challenge an Eighth Tier invincible expert during the ability's duration. It could be considered a substitute for universal power.
Most importantly, as his strength grew, the 'Enhancement' mystical ability would become even more useful. When an Eighth Tier peak evolver activated this ability, they could rival an Eighth Tier invincible expert within ten breaths.
What about a Ninth Tier evolver?
"In the coming days, aside from perfecting the Martial Arts evolution path, my top priority is to comprehend this mystical ability thoroughly and condense its ability imprint."
Lin Yuan had a plan in mind.
Only by condensing the ability imprint could he bring this mystical ability back to the main world. Lin Yuan recalled that it had taken him fifty years to comprehend the 'Blood Rebirth' ability imprint.
As for the 'Mountain Moving' ability, he hadn't spent enough time in the main world to comprehend its imprint yet.
Returning to the Martial Temple.
Before long, several Grand Elders approached him.
"Elders."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Over the past hundred years, the Grand Elders of the Martial Temple had treated Lin Yuan well, almost as if they were grooming him to be the future of the Martial Temple.
Without the early support of the Martial Temple, Lin Yuan would still have reached this point, but it would have taken him much longer.
Immortal Cultivators needed resources.
Martial Cultivators also required resources.
Especially during the Sixth and Seventh Tiers, when one was establishing an internal world, the consumption of resources was like a bottomless pit.
"Chang'er, here are the Immortal Cultivation techniques you requested," the Grand Elder said, handing over several jade slips. The look in his eyes as he gazed at Lin Yuan involuntarily revealed a hint of awe.
Seventy or eighty years ago, they, the Grand Elders, had already found it impossible to see through Lin Yuan's true depths.
Lin Yuan had perused all the countless martial arts classics housed in the Martial Temple, and while they hadn't directly sparred, each time they interacted with Lin Yuan up close, they felt their hearts tremble inexplicably.
This feeling had disappeared sixty years ago, but they didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
When he had first become an evolver, Lin Yuan had only perceived the gate as majestic and vast, but now it seemed like an enormous entity spanning infinite worlds.
"Everything seems normal in the main world over the past hundred years, with no significant events occurring." Through the Gate of Myriad Worlds, Lin Yuan faintly sensed the environment of his true body back in the main world.
"Let's begin." Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and he consumed a strand of World-Breaking Source Power to start transporting the mysterious gourd from the main world to his current location.
Rumble...
Space fluctuations emerged from the center of the Gate of Myriad Worlds, deep and ancient, as if emanating endless mystery.
Lin Yuan carefully sensed the fluctuations, realizing that this method of transporting items across dimensions and latitudes far surpassed his current understanding. By observing it for a while longer, he might be able to deduce something with his heaven-defying comprehension talent.
After a moment, the space fluctuations gradually calmed.
A grayish-yellow gourd slowly materialized and landed in Lin Yuan's palm.
