Chapter 590: The Significance of Lin Yuan
Chapter 590: The Significance of Lin Yuan
The heights that life can attain largely depend on two factors.
First is one's innate talent and aptitude.
Second is the influence of external forces and factors after birth.
Both are indispensable, and the latter is even more important than the former.
Without the assistance of external forces and resources, even those with exceptional talent will encounter numerous setbacks and detours.
On the contrary, as long as there are sufficient external forces and resources, even a mediocre talent can achieve great things.
Innate talent determines one's upper limit, while external factors determine the lower bound.
In Chi Bao King's opinion, Lin Yuan's bloodline has atavism.
His innate talent is undoubtedly top-notch.
However, without the guidance and resources of the ancient country's royal family, for Lin Yuan to grow on his own to his limit and even defeat and kill Ling Shen King, a fellow core royal at the limit, is unprecedented. At least, in the endless years, no such monster has been born in the Ancient Country of Ruyang.
There have been cases in the past where beings from the ancient country had atavistic bloodlines and eventually rose to prominence.
But this 'rise' refers to their growth after receiving special attention and cultivation from the ancient country.
As for Lin Yuan? Until today, Chi Bao King had never even heard of the name Galaxy.
Lin Yuan has risen without any contact with the ancient royal family.
If a core royal who has grown to his limit isn't considered a rising star, then what is? Moreover, Lin Yuan has not only grown to his limit but has also defeated Ling Shen King, who was also at the same level.
"Brother Galaxy, you possess the Ruyang Divine Body and are a descendant of the founder. I now formally invite you to join the royal lineage of the Ancient Country of Ruyang."
Chi Bao King took a moment to collect himself before extending the invitation.
Upon confirming that Lin Yuan was indeed a pure descendant of Ruyang, his first thought was to bring him into their fold.
He wanted to ensure that Lin Yuan was firmly on their side.
What a monster! How could they not try to recruit him? If they let him go, Chi Bao King knew he would regret it for billions of years.
As for Lin Yuan's identity causing any problems, Chi Bao King didn't give it a second thought.
First, the rich and authentic Ruyang aura emanating from Lin Yuan could not be fake.
Second, what problems could there be? The Ancient Country of Ruyang is one of the strongest forces in this universe. No matter what karma Lin Yuan carries, they can shoulder it together.
These two points were more than enough.
"Join the royal lineage of the Ancient Country of Ruyang?"
Lin Yuan looked at Chi Bao King.
Even without this invitation, Lin Yuan had planned to visit the capital of the Ancient Country of Ruyang after some time.
The founder of the Ancient Country of Ruyang was a thirteenth-order temporal life, and as far as Lin Yuan knew, it was the only thirteenth-order force confirmed so far.
Of course, the other ancient countries were not within this scope.
In the chaotic void, countless Chaos Saints and peerless saints were desperately searching for traces of the thirteenth-order temporal lives.
But in this source world, there was a clear opportunity to make contact with them?
Lin Yuan would not let this chance slip by.
For a twelfth-order perfect being to break through to the thirteenth-order, the most difficult hurdle is to pass through a time loop.
However, how to pass through the time loop and whether there are any auxiliary methods, the Eye of Myriad Laws frankly said that it did not know.
Spreading one's path of evolution, reinforcing anchor points and beacons, to be precise, were not auxiliary methods.
But the Eye of Myriad Laws was merely a secret treasure left by a thirteenth-order temporal life, and it couldn't compare to an actual thirteenth-order being.
Just because the Eye of Myriad Laws said there was no way didn't mean that a true thirteenth-order temporal life wouldn't have a solution.
Moreover, increasing the chances of passing through the time loop was still far off for Lin Yuan at his current stage, as his true realm was only at the Dominator realm.
Let's put that aside for now.
There were also many direct and tangible benefits, such as a large number of resources and inheritances.
The importance of resources was unquestionable, and the same was true for inheritances.
The 'Infinite Void' was a thirteenth-order inheritance, which allowed Lin Yuan to establish an incredibly formidable foundation.
As a thirteenth-order temporal life, the Ruyang Founder most likely left behind corresponding thirteenth-order inheritances.
If Lin Yuan obtained them, he would undoubtedly enhance his strength and foundation significantly. Although breaking through to the thirteenth-order was still a distant goal, strengthening his foundation was always crucial.
"Brother Galaxy, most of the strong beings in this universe, especially the Heavenly Sovereigns, choose to join one of the six ancient countries. There's no shame in that."
Chi Bao King said, "Let's not talk about the other five ancient countries. Our Ancient Country of Ruyang possesses numerous inheritances and treasures bestowed by the founder. For those Heavenly Sovereigns who want to progress further, how long would it take them to do so on their own? And whether they can succeed is another matter altogether."
"But by joining and relying on our Ancient Country of Ruyang, they will have clear and straightforward guidance from our inheritances."
Chi Bao King looked at Lin Yuan and continued, "Some Great Sages refuse to be bound, so they choose not to join any ancient country. However, for Heavenly Sovereigns,
(End of the Chapter)
"It is almost unheard of for a Heavenly Sovereign to remain neutral. They have all already aligned themselves with one of the ancient countries."
"I am aware," Lin Yuan nodded.
Take Hon Ye Grand Patriarch and Huo Fu Grand Patriarch, for instance; they have not received the imperial decree from the Ancient Country of Blazing Sun."
And this is already the limit for neutral faction powerhouses; without joining any of the ancient countries, the chances of a Grand Patriarch advancing to the Heavenly Sovereign realm are minuscule.
Even if they somehow become a Heavenly Sovereign, upon realizing that the cultivation path of a Heavenly Sovereign is infinitely more challenging than that of a Grand Patriarch, they would willingly join one of the ancient countries, seeking further guidance and resources to progress.
"If you are willing to join our royal lineage, Brother Galaxy, I will personally inform His Majesty, and you will receive the very best cultivation and resources." Chi Bao King assured immediately.
Unlike those Heavenly Sovereigns who had pledged their allegiance, Lin Yuan possessed a rich and pure lineage of the ancient royal bloodline, inherently binding him to the Ancient Country of Blazing Sun.
The royal family would undoubtedly withhold certain secrets and resources from these Heavenly Sovereigns, even if they were granted access to some of their traditions. Furthermore, any traditions bestowed upon them would never be the most elite and core ones.
But Lin Yuan was different.
As a member of the royal family, especially one with a core lineage like Chi Bao King, Lin Yuan would be treated differently if he chose to join their ranks. His status and benefits would far surpass those of the other Heavenly Sovereigns.
"Very well, I am willing to join," Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation.
For now, it seemed that the benefits of joining the royal family of the ancient country far outweighed any potential drawbacks.
The only concern was that Lin Yuan was not truly a part of the core royal bloodline.
However, ever since he had fused and devoured the 'Source of Blazing Sun' with his internal universe, the blazing sun's radiance had permeated his entire being, absorbing the light emanating from the eternal blazing sun beyond the firmament.
The Blazing Sun bloodline within Lin Yuan was rapidly becoming more pure, and by now, it had almost reached the standard of a typical royal bloodline.
Given some more time, it wouldn't be difficult to metamorphose into a core royal bloodline concentration.
The divine ability 'Blazing Sun Creation' was originally a talent of the Blazing Sun ancestor, and by constantly employing this ability, he could refine and purify the Blazing Sun bloodline within him.
Of course, this transformation and purification of his bloodline were only effective within this source world.
It was useless for the true self, the main body in the Chaotic Void, as it did not possess the Blazing Sun bloodline.
Firstly, the true self in the Chaotic Void did not have the Blazing Sun bloodline, so there was no bloodline to purify.
Secondly, the Chaotic Void did not have the eternal blazing sun beyond the firmament that existed in the source world.
Lin Yuan could sense that the purification of his Blazing Sun bloodline was mainly due to the radiant light emanating from the eternal blazing sun beyond the firmament.
"Excellent! Excellent!" Chi Bao King couldn't help but smile upon hearing Lin Yuan's agreement. "With your addition to our royal lineage, Brother Galaxy, we will finally be able to show those Heavenly Sovereigns who's boss!"
"Show them who's boss?" Lin Yuan looked at Chi Bao King, curious.
"It's understandable that you wouldn't know, Brother Galaxy, since you haven't had any interaction with the royal family. The competition within the Ancient Country of Blazing Sun is fierce," Chi Bao King explained.
"It's mainly between the royal family and those Heavenly Sovereigns."
"The most valuable resources are limited, and both the royals and the Heavenly Sovereigns desire them."
"While the Heavenly Sovereigns may not have a rich and pure ancestral bloodline, their strength is formidable, and they hold considerable influence in the imperial capital."
"If it weren't for the requirement that each emperor of the ancient country must possess royal blood, I fear that our royal family would be suppressed by those Heavenly Sovereigns." Chi Bao King sighed.
This matter was an internal affair of the Ancient Country of Blazing Sun, so there was little that could be done about it. After all, most Heavenly Sovereigns also had the blood of the Blazing Sun ancestor flowing through their veins, albeit in a more diluted form, but they were still descendants nonetheless.
In the face of external threats, the ancestor would undoubtedly intervene and sweep away the enemies. However, when it came to internal conflicts within the same bloodline, the ancestor would not bother to interfere.
"I see," Lin Yuan said, his expression clearing as he understood.
He had heard long ago that the Heavenly Sovereigns looked down on the royal families.
This 'looking down' was probably not just a simple matter of disdain but also involved conflicts of interest.
The ancient countries were largely controlled by their emperors, and as such, they would naturally favor their own kin. However, they couldn't be too biased, or they might incur the wrath of the Heavenly Sovereigns, which would create further problems.
For example, if the Heavenly Sovereigns of an ancient country collectively slacked off during a war with another ancient country, it would spell disaster.
Thus, each emperor of the ancient countries had to maintain a delicate balance between the royal family and the Heavenly Sovereigns for the greater good.
Of course, the most critical traditions and resources were only accessible to those of royal blood, which was the most significant advantage of being a part of the royal family.
And this was why the Heavenly Sovereigns looked down on the royal families.
"However, with your talent, Brother Galaxy, once you join our royal lineage and gain access to our true traditions and resources, your cultivation will soar, and you may even break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Sovereign realm in the future.
(End of the Chapter)
Chi Bao King looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.
The so-called Heavenly Sovereign shackles are the iron law that prevents the royal family from transcending to the Heavenly Sovereign realm.
Thus far, not a single member of the ancient country's royal family has broken through to become a Heavenly Sovereign.
This is the reason for the constant strife between the royal family and the Heavenly Sovereigns.
In terms of strength, aside from the emperor and a handful of royals who wield the ancient country's foundation, the Heavenly Sovereigns overwhelmingly surpass the royals.
If a royal were to become a Heavenly Sovereign, the power dynamics between the two factions would be completely rewritten.
"I'll do my best."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"That's all I ask."
Chi Bao King grinned, his expectations for Lin Yuan evident.
"Without any exposure to royal training, you've reached this level. I can't wait to see what you'll achieve once you gain access to our resources," he said eagerly.
Any strong individual, whether they are from the royal family or joined later as a Heavenly Sovereign, experiences a period of rapid progress upon receiving the royal family's inheritance and resources for the first time.
Chi Bao King proceeded to brief Lin Yuan on various internal matters within the royal family before asking out of curiosity, "Chi Jue showed me the footage of your battle with Ling Shen King."
"Since you were able to kill Ling Shen King, I assume you've made significant progress in breaking through the Heavenly Sovereign shackles."
"Would you care to spar with me so I can gauge your strength?" Chi Bao King asked, his eyes shining with anticipation.
He wasn't doubting Lin Yuan's strength; the battle with Ling Shen King had been witnessed by many, and it couldn't have been faked.
As a core royal of the Great Spirit Ancient Country, Ling Shen King wouldn't have pretended to lose.
Chi Bao King was simply curious about Lin Yuan's capabilities, as he himself had reached the limit of a core royal and knew how difficult it was to progress further.
"Sure," Lin Yuan agreed.
He, too, was interested in seeing the abilities of a core royal from the Blazing Sun Ancient Country.
Although Ling Shen King was a core royal, he belonged to the Great Spirit Ancient Country, and the abilities of core royals could vary between different ancient countries.
"Let's go to a higher plane of time and space," Chi Bao King suggested, standing up immediately.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a higher plane.
This place was vast, and even if Heavenly Sovereigns fought here, the aftermath of their battle would be greatly diminished by the time it reached the ground.
"Brother Galaxy, I'm going to make my move," Chi Bao King said, his figure becoming slightly blurred as a massive sun took form behind him.
Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and the Blazing Sun Divine Body began to operate on its own, forming a vast world of blazing sun.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Chi Bao King also activated his Blazing Sun Divine Body, creating another world of blazing sun. The two worlds collided and clashed against each other.
The Blazing Sun Divine Body was the strongest physique of the Blazing Sun Ancient Country, and while each strong individual's manifestation of it was unique, they shared similar fundamental aspects.
For example, the ability to form a world of blazing sun by operating the Blazing Sun Divine Body on its own was a capability that most Blazing Sun Divine Body cultivators possessed.
The strength of the Blazing Sun world depended on the depth of one's Blazing Sun Divine Body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two massive worlds of blazing sun collided, and it was evident that the one formed by Lin Yuan was more powerful.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan noticed Chi Bao King's solemn expression and slightly increased the intensity of his Blazing Sun world.
The strength of the Blazing Sun world depended not only on the depth of one's Blazing Sun Divine Body but also on the cultivator's foundation.
Foundation was the key, and Lin Yuan's internal universe, having fused and devoured the Source of Blazing Sun, had an incredibly strong foundation. Even a simple punch from him could unleash earth-shattering power, let alone his Blazing Sun world.
The Infinite Void inheritance enhanced Lin Yuan's abilities across the board, rather than being limited to a specific aspect.
"Not good!"
Chi Bao King's expression changed slightly as he clearly felt the pressure from Lin Yuan's Blazing Sun world increasing. His own Blazing Sun world began to distort under the oppressive might of Lin Yuan's.
"What kind of foundation does one need to have a Blazing Sun world this powerful?" Chi Bao King thought, astonished.
Initially, he had wondered if Lin Yuan had used some sort of one-time trump card to defeat Ling Shen King so easily.
But now, after clashing with Lin Yuan's Blazing Sun world, he no longer held that suspicion.
The collision of the Blazing Sun worlds was a direct contest of their foundations, with no room for trickery.
After all, the Blazing Sun world originated from the Blazing Sun Divine Body, which in turn was derived from one's self. External power could enhance one's offense and defense, but it couldn't directly strengthen the Blazing Sun Divine Body.
"I concede, Brother Galaxy," Chi Bao King said after holding on for a while longer.
If he continued, he would have to resort to lethal moves, which would defeat the purpose of a friendly spar.
"I admit defeat," he said without hesitation.
