Chapter 384: The Silent Xia Qin, a Supreme Powerhouse (End of Chapter)
In the Virtual World...
Nalan, the deputy tower master, asked curiously, "Galaxy Master, with your cultivation in the Two-dimensional World, you should have reached the level of a Witch Ancestor, right?"
Lin Yuan was the greatest genius in the history of human civilization, and his aptitude and comprehension were unquestionable. Thus, Nalan was almost certain that Lin Yuan had become a Witch Ancestor.
It was common knowledge that in the over hundred years of the Two-dimensional World, a significant portion of the tenth-order beings had barely entered the Witch Ancestor realm.
When they first arrived in the Two-dimensional World, eighth-order, ninth-order, tenth-order, and eleventh-order beings all started from the same point.
However, as time passed, gaps between them would emerge and widen.
"Yes," Lin Yuan nodded, affirming that he had indeed reached the eighteenth level of the Witch Ancestor realm.
"In that case, we humans have compiled seventeen cultivation methods for the post-Witch Ancestor realm. I'll send them to you to take a look."
Naran immediately sent the cultivation methods to Lin Yuan.
In the Two-dimensional World, where exotic beings roamed freely and human civilization was relatively weaker, it was crucial to stick together.
Sharing cultivation methods with each other was a common practice, and as long as the one who left the Two-dimensional World through the opening of the Celestial Gate was a human cultivator, it would be considered a victory for human civilization.
However, from what they could discern so far, the chances of that happening weren't high.
Aside from the hidden powerhouses like the mysterious expert from the Blood Rain Ancient Country, the Four Divine Kings alone were almost guaranteed to be the ones leaving during the first opening of the Celestial Gate.
"Thank you," Lin Yuan said as he glanced through the cultivation methods sent by Nalan. His expression turned pensive.
The cultivators who had paved these paths of cultivation after reaching the Witch Ancestor realm were mostly eleventh-order beings of human civilization. They were the most outstanding cultivation geniuses of their time, and the cultivation methods they had explored and developed held great value for Lin Yuan.
At the very least, they resonated with him more than the cultivation methods of the indigenous Witch Ancestors of the Two-dimensional World.
"However, my cultivation method may not be suitable for you," Lin Yuan said hesitantly after skimming through the techniques. He turned to Nalan, feeling somewhat uncertain.
The Witch Ancestor cultivation method that Lin Yuan practiced was created based on his own unique conditions and his heaven-defying comprehension ability.
Its advantage was that it could unleash the full potential of his physical body at every stage, but its drawback was that it was tailored specifically for Lin Yuan, and other powerhouses would not be able to emulate it even if they wanted to.
In fact, the dozen or so post-Witch Ancestor cultivation methods that Nalan had compiled were also developed by various eleventh-order human cultivators based on their own insights and explorations.
They lacked universality as well, but Lin Yuan, with his heaven-defying comprehension, was able to discern the fundamental principles and directions of these cultivation methods.
"It doesn't matter," Nalan shook his head. Although Lin Yuan was the strongest genius in the history of human civilization, he was still only a tenth-order being. Compared to the eleventh-order cultivators, his perspective was narrower and more limited.
"After the Celestial Gate opens this time, I'll compile some cultivation methods specifically for you," Lin Yuan said after a moment's thought.
For now, his top priority was to maximize his strength before the opening of the Celestial Gate in two hundred years.
Spending time to create cultivation methods tailored for other human cultivators would be a distraction from his primary goal.
That could wait until after the two hundred years had passed. By then, Lin Yuan expected to have more free time on his hands.
Deep underground...
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura quietly seething like a deep abyss.
Then, in an instant, he became like an unyielding stone, emitting not the slightest trace of aura. But soon after, a terrifying surge of blood qi erupted from him like a tsunami, spreading in all directions.
If they hadn't been underground, this display of power would likely have startled all the powerful beings of the Myriad Races within a thousand miles.
"Witch Ancestor, nineteenth level," Lin Yuan murmured as he slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
After studying the cultivation paths of the eleventh-order human cultivators, Lin Yuan's own insights and understandings had finally undergone a qualitative change, propelling him into the nineteenth level of the Witch Ancestor realm.
"My current strength is about sixty percent stronger than when I was at the eighteenth level," he continued. "If I were to pursue Tuoba Gushen again, it would take me at most two hours to track him down and kill him through the use of the inner armor."
Lin Yuan felt a sense of satisfaction as he sensed the surge of power within his body.
"I wonder what the Four Divine Kings' strengths are like now," he mused to himself. The Four Divine Kings possessed supremely suitable ultimate weapons, and with the help of these weapons, their understanding of the power of this world was likely far beyond that of the other powerful beings of the Myriad Races.
"It's time to return," Lin Yuan said as he rose to his feet and left the depths of the underground. He made his way back to the Luochuan gathering place.
Luochuan Gathering Place...
Charan Gu stood there respectfully.
"Master," he greeted Lin Yuan with deference.
Just then, Charan Gu had received another message from the Blood Rain Tavern. The source of the rampant slaughter that had spread throughout the Blood Rain Ancient Country had been completely eradicated.
According to the Blood Rain Tavern, a super powerhouse within the ancient country had taken action and annihilated the group responsible for the bloodshed.
The Blood Rain Tavern had no information about this super-powerful being, but Charan Gu couldn't help but wonder if it had something to do with Lin Yuan.
After all, the timing of that great battle coincided with Lin Yuan's disappearance.
And hadn't this whole situation come to light after he had mentioned it to Lin Yuan?
As he thought about the terrifying traces left on the battlefield, as described in the intelligence sent by the Blood Rain Tavern, Charan Gu's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Could such power truly belong to a human?
"I'm going to continue my seclusion," Lin Yuan said, glancing at Charan Gu. "Unless it's a matter of great importance, do not disturb me."
Charan Gu's emotional fluctuations were like an open book to Lin Yuan, laid bare for him to read.
So what if he was exposed?
Besides, Lin Yuan didn't think that Charan Gu would dare to spread his suspicions.
In a certain world where illusion and reality alternated...
Nine auras surged forth, forming nine majestic figures—the nine peak powerhouses of human civilization.
"Using our Human Clan's Town Clan Treasure, the 'World of Illusory Realms', to replicate that two-dimensional world, even if it's only ten to twenty percent similar, it's enough for us to deduce cultivation methods."
The Feather Butterfly Peak Powerhouse spoke up.
That 'white paper' from the Taiyuan Ruins was unfathomably deep. Even Peak Powerhouses didn't dare to let it absorb them, for fear of being drawn into that two-dimensional world.
But just because the Peak Powerhouses didn't dare to take the risk themselves didn't mean they were out of options.
For example, human civilization could use the 'World of Illusory Realms' to simulate the two-dimensional world within the white paper, and then the Peak Powerhouses could enter and comprehend the true nature of its power.
The 'World of Illusory Realms' was one of the foundations of human civilization, capable of replicating even the myriad rules of the Main Universe.
Indeed, while the two-dimensional world within the white paper was completely sealed, barely leaking any aura, the 'World of Illusory Realms', the Town Clan Treasure of human civilization, could still replicate it based on the slightest traces of aura.
In the end, the two-dimensional world replicated by the 'World of Illusory Realms' was far inferior to the real thing, with a similarity of only about ten to twenty percent.
But that was enough.
The Peak Powerhouses could enter freely, and from the perspective of ultimate existences, even a one percent similarity could reveal a lot.
"Hmph."
"That old monster from the Star Alliance integrated an ultimate weapon into the Four Divine Kings' body, making him nearly invincible in the two-dimensional world."
"Now we're using the 'World of Illusory Realms' to deduce cultivation methods for the evolvers of our human civilization."
"So far, we've clearly deduced cultivation methods up to the sixteenth level of the Witch Ancestor realm."
The Void God Peak Powerhouse smiled as he spoke.
The cultivation methods they had deduced had no limitations and should provide significant help to the human evolvers in the two-dimensional world.
At the very least, they could serve as a 'guiding light', accelerating the cultivation speed of the human civilization's evolvers.
"Alright, I need to go back and teach those juniors."
The Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse disappeared.
The other Peak Powerhouses exchanged glances and then left one by one as well.
Galaxy Master Star...
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed.
"Hmm?"
"Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse wants to see me?"
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, slightly surprised.
In the past hundred years, Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse should have been preoccupied with something, unlikely to reach out to him proactively.
"There must be something important."
Lin Yuan immediately connected to the Virtual World and entered Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse's personal world.
"Peak Powerhouse." Lin Yuan bowed to the Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse, who sat on a throne.
"Lin Yuan." Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse looked at Lin Yuan, a smile appearing on his face, "How's it going? How's your cultivation in the two-dimensional world?"
"Not bad." Lin Yuan replied.
In just over a hundred years, Lin Yuan had caught up to the gap between himself and those perfect eleventh-orders, and it was indeed not bad.
After all, those who could reach the perfect eleventh-order were unique existences in the vast universe, each with heaven-defying talent and aptitude.
"Next, I'll explain to you the advanced cultivation methods for the Witch Ancestor realm." Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse cut straight to the chase.
"Advanced cultivation methods for the Witch Ancestor realm?" Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, his expression turning expectant.
Although he didn't know how the Peak Powerhouse had deduced the advanced cultivation methods for the Witch Ancestor realm, without entering the two-dimensional world and personally experiencing the true nature of its power, it would be almost impossible to comprehend specific cultivation methods.
But since Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse said so, he must be quite confident.
"For the Witch Ancestor realm cultivation, let's start from the first level."
Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse quickly explained the cultivation methods for the first to sixth levels of the Witch Ancestor realm.
"What do you think?"
Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse looked at Lin Yuan.
"Hmm, can you go into more detail?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment. The first to sixth levels that Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse had explained did give him some inspiration.
But the inspiration wasn't significant, as Lin Yuan was already at the nineteenth level of the Witch Ancestor realm.
Previously, the cultivation methods compiled by Deputy Tower Master Nalan had helped Lin Yuan break through to the nineteenth level because they served as the final push he needed.
Even without those cultivation methods, Lin Yuan would have broken through to the nineteenth level soon enough.
"More detail?" Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse was slightly taken aback but didn't hesitate. He continued to explain the cultivation methods for the seventh to fourteenth levels of the Witch Ancestor realm.
"More, please." Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn as he listened. The cultivation methods for the seventh to fourteenth levels indeed provided him with great insight.
But it wasn't enough.
"More?" Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse's eyebrows twitched. At the fourteenth level of the Witch Ancestor realm, it wasn't enough?
However, since Lin Yuan wanted to hear more, Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse didn't say anything else and proceeded to explain the power essence of the fifteenth and sixteenth levels of the Witch Ancestor realm.
"Can you go even deeper?" Lin Yuan asked, enlightenment dawning in his eyes.
"Deeper still?" Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse couldn't help but ask, "What level of cultivation methods are you looking for?"
"What level?" Lin Yuan looked at Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse, "Do you have anything for the twentieth level of the Witch Ancestor realm?"
"The twentieth level of the Witch Ancestor realm?"
Xia Qin Peak Powerhouse was taken aback, his eyes narrowing as he studied Lin Yuan for a moment before falling silent.
