Chapter 634: The Primal Taiji
Chapter 634: The Primal Taiji
"Amazing!"
Lin Yuan swiftly absorbed the contents of the legacy, and many aspects that had once puzzled him began to dissolve and make sense.
The creator of this legacy was a peak Celestial Sovereign from the ancient Sunland Kingdom, who had lived countless ages ago.
The father of this peak Celestial Sovereign was a member of the royal family of the ancient Sun Kingdom, while the mother was a cultivator from the ancient Yinland Kingdom.
The ancient Sunland Kingdom and the ancient Yinland Kingdom originated from two supreme ancestors, representing paths that were diametrically opposed.
Yet, bloodlines were wondrous and could harmonize with everything.
The offspring of the royal family of the ancient Sunland Kingdom and the cultivator from the ancient Yinland Kingdom inherited both the Sun and Yin bloodlines.
Initially, the creator of the legacy grew up in the ancient Sunland Kingdom, naturally focusing on Sun-related legacies and primarily cultivating the Sun Path. The deep Yin essence in his bloodline was not given much attention.
But as his strength and realm increased, and he comprehended the chaotic Sun Path to the third level, the creator of the legacy vaguely realized that the Sun and Yin might not be opposing forces.
"Sun? Yin? If they could be thoroughly integrated, it would feel like an entirely new path. This path would surpass all the paths I’ve known before. Unfortunately, my comprehension isn’t sufficient to perfectly integrate them," the creator of the legacy mused in the legacy’s content, which showed various images, including his final message.
"If I could reach the realm of the Primordial Ancestor, with the perspective of such a magnificent life, I might be able to integrate the Sun and Yin. Therefore, I will now attempt the final step to reach the Thirteenth Ascension."
Lin Yuan quickly scanned through the entire legacy, which ended with the creator preparing for this ultimate leap.
"He probably didn’t succeed."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. This source world had six ancient kingdoms, and the ancient Yinland Kingdom was the last to be born. There had been no mention of a seventh ancient kingdom.
If a new Thirteenth-Stage Primordial Ancestor had been born, they would certainly have established a seventh ancient kingdom.
Since there was no seventh ancient kingdom, it meant the creator of the legacy had not crossed into the Thirteenth Stage.
"Thirteenth Stage," Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.
Whether in the Chaotic Void or this Source World, the ultimate goal for all cultivators was to cross into the Thirteenth Stage and become a Time Life.
Only a Thirteenth-Stage Life could gain a broad sense of freedom, seeing through the many timelines of the past and future.
As for lives below the Thirteenth Stage, their vision was limited to the spatial realm, unable to see the distant future or predict what would happen next, like a lone boat on the vast ocean, uncertain when it might capsize.
From the perspective of time, the Chaotic Void and this Source World, all cultivators aspired to reach the Thirteenth Stage and become a Time Life. Only a Thirteenth-Stage Life could truly see through the past and future, gaining a broad sense of freedom.
"Thirteen Stages, ah."
Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. Whether in the Chaotic Void or this Source World, the ultimate goal for all cultivators was to cross into the Thirteenth Stage and become a Time Life.
Only a Thirteenth-Stage Life could see through the many timelines of the past and future, gaining a broad sense of freedom. As for lives below the Thirteenth Stage, their vision was limited to the spatial realm, unable to see the distant future or predict what would happen next, like a lone boat on the vast ocean, uncertain when it might capsize.
"This legacy will be of great help to me. It was worth it."
Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. The cultivators of this Source World had a deeper understanding of the rules and paths than those in the Chaotic Void.
The supreme Great Sages in the Chaotic Void, despite their mastery of the chaotic force, were only at the second level. They could match the peak Celestials of this Source World, who had reached the third level of the Chaotic Evolution Path, solely because of the advantage of their internal universe.
Many cultivators from the six ancient kingdoms had also attempted to open internal worlds and internal universes. Once they grasped the rules to a certain extent, creating internal worlds and universes was not difficult.
However, without the support of the Chaotic Void’s essence, the cultivators of this Source World, even if they successfully created internal worlds and universes, couldn’t enhance them to a level that would significantly aid their cultivation.
It was only now that Lin Yuan realized how crucial the Chaotic Void’s unique essence and the Chaotic Void’s origin were. This directly elevated the foundation and essence of all cultivators in the Chaotic Void.
Of course, this Source World also had its advantages over the Chaotic Void, particularly in the ease of grasping the rules.
Why could the peak Celestials of the six ancient kingdoms reach the third level of the Chaotic Evolution Path, surpassing the supreme Great Sages of the Chaotic Void? It was due to the exaggerated rule comprehension of this Source World.
"Still have over 200,000 merits."
Lin Yuan glanced at his merit balance, having spent 1.8 million merits to exchange this legacy.
"I’ll exchange the Chaotic Genesis Patterns with the remaining merits."
Lin Yuan scanned through the numerous precious legacies he valued and found that 200,000 merits weren’t enough. He decided to exchange the Chaotic Genesis Patterns instead.
The Chaotic Genesis Patterns were created by the Primordial Ancestor of the ancient Sunland Kingdom, using the perspective of a Thirteenth-Stage Time Life, to distill and re-condense the chaotic rules of the evolving universe.

Lin Yuan, equipped with the Gate of Myriad Worlds, found himself in a vast cosmic universe where the strongest beings could destroy stars and galaxies with ease and traverse millions of light-years in an instant. Reduced to the lowest tier, Lin Yuan relied on his Gate of Myriad Worlds and his innate talent, Heaven-defying Comprehension, to travel through various worlds and grow stronger in secret.
On his way back to his estate, Lin Yuan recalled the information the emperor had shared with him. The ancient nation of Leshi had obtained a first-class treasure land, the "Infinite Eye," from the ancient nation of Xuanyin, which they had controlled for ten billion years.
"The Infinite Eye," the name flashed through Lin Yuan's mind as he recalled the information about this treasure land. From the outside, it looked like a giant eye, and it produced a rare substance known as Infinite Crystal. Hence, it was named the Infinite Eye.
Refining a certain amount of Infinite Crystal would allow one’s body and soul to transform into the Infinite Divine Body. The Infinite Divine Body was one of the six supreme divine bodies in the ancient nations, though it wasn't as adept at offensive techniques as the Leshi Divine Body, it could complement other divine bodies.
In simple terms, one could possess the Infinite Divine Body alongside other divine bodies. Therefore, the Infinite Crystal was highly sought after by the strong in the six ancient nations, as it meant a significant boost in combat power.
"These treasure lands, nurtured by the source world, offer great benefits for cultivation and the evolution of life, especially first-class treasure lands."
"The wars between the six ancient nations, with their constant expansions and contractions, are largely due to the competition over these treasure lands."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. After all, treasure lands were immovable. Once a nation controlled a region, they naturally gained ownership of the treasure land within it.
For example, if the ancient nation of Xuanyin and the ancient nation of Leshi were to engage in battle, and Leshi were to lose, the region containing the Black Jade Nest would fall under Xuanyin's control. The Black Jade Nest would then belong to Xuanyin, and the guardian of the Black Jade Nest would have to withdraw.
Before withdrawing, the guardian could take all the Black Jade with them, but the Black Jade Nest itself, as a treasure land, could not be destroyed. This was a strict rule among the six ancient nations. No matter the level of the treasure land, it could not be destroyed, or the guardian would face the wrath of all the strong from the six ancient nations.
Back at his estate, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and began to deeply contemplate the "Luminous,ing" inheritance, which combined the principles of Leshi, Xuanyin, and Chaos.
"Just 1.8 million merits to exchange this level of inheritance, my luck is really good."
The more Lin Yuan delved into the inheritance, the more he felt the benefits. The creator of the inheritance had balanced the Leshi and Xuanyin bloodlines, and integrated the chaotic forces to evolve the principles of the Leshi and Xuanyin paths. After comprehending the Xuanyin path, the integration and complementation of the two paths were deeply researched.
Though the Leshi and Xuanyin paths were different from the Sun and moon principles, they shared many similarities. The creator of inheritance had comprehended the chaotic Leshi and chaotic Xuanyin paths to the third level, involving the perfect fusion of both.
"Xuanyin."
Lin Yuan extended his right hand, and a thread of Xuanyin essence emerged, clashing with the Leshi essence that permeated the environment around him.
The numerous Xuanyin inheritances he had gained from defeating the Northern Yin Celestials and the Extreme Cold Celestials, combined with the 1.8 million merits he had spent on the "Leshi, Xuanyin, Chaos" inheritance, had significantly advanced his understanding of the Xuanyin path.
"I can feel it."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness descending into his inner universe. The inner universe of his true body, while not as vast as the chaotic void, still measured in trillions of light-years. At the highest point of his inner universe, numerous great principles converged, forming a giant egg-shaped structure surrounded by chaotic energy, subtly nurturing and evolving something.
After reaching the peak of the second level of chaotic principles, Lin Yuan had begun to attempt the evolution of the Chaotic Taiji path. The result was the scene before him now.
The giant egg, enveloped in chaotic energy, was the ultimate fruit of Lin Yuan's comprehension of chaotic principles. Inside, it was nurturing and evolving the Chaotic Yin-Yang Taiji force.
"Comprehending the Xuanyin path has given me a qualitative leap in understanding the Chaotic Taiji path. This chaotic force path can be fully evolved within ten thousand years."
Lin Yuan's eyes brightened. Before this, even with his second-level chaotic principle comprehension, he could only sense the ongoing evolution without a clear timeline. Now, he could feel the specific time.
Within ten thousand years, he could fully evolve the Chaotic Yin-yang Taiji.
"It seems that comprehending the Xuanyin path and complementing the Tai yin is the right path."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Taiji path formed by the sun and moon principles could perfectly complement each other, converting sun to moon and vice versa. However, the converted sun and moon principles were ultimately inferior to those truly comprehended.
"Next, I’ll continue to comprehend the Profound Yin, which will accelerate the evolution of the Chaotic Taiji."
Lin Yuan thought to himself that the Chaotic Taiji Dao was his exclusive path, distinguishing ordinary Venerables from Great Saints in the chaotic void.
"Just comprehend the Profound Yin?"
Lin Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly. "Relying solely on this legacy to comprehend the true Profound Yin Dao is still too slow."
Within the legacy of "Blazing Sun, Profound Yin, and Chaos," the explanation of the Profound Yin path was merely the creator’s personal understanding, which had indeed provided Lin Yuan with significant assistance.
However, using this to fully comprehend the true Profound Yin Dao was still somewhat inadequate.
"The creator of this legacy comprehended the Profound Yin by delving into the essence of his own bloodline, leading him to walk the path of Profound Yin. I can follow the same path," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Although he didn’t have the Profound Yin bloodline, the numerous lifeforms within the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom all possessed it.
Why couldn’t Lin Yuan comprehend it through them?
In the Profound Yin Ancient Kingdom, the Dragon Frost Region was the fief of the Dragon Frost Marquis, a peak Venerable renowned throughout the kingdom for his prowess in the southwestern territories.
"How can I advance further and reach the Celestial Venerable realm?" the Dragon Frost Marquis pondered while in seclusion, contemplating his future path.
For lifeforms outside the imperial clan, only by reaching the Celestial Venerable realm could one truly be considered part of the ancient kingdom’s elite, competing for power with the imperial clan and core members.
For example, the numerous precious legacies available for exchange in the ancient kingdom’s treasure vaults required an enormous amount of merit points, which even a peak Venerable had little hope of accumulating.
Celestial Venerables could gather enough merit points because they typically presided over valuable territories, earning merit points through their governance. Over a long period, they could eventually accumulate the necessary points.
At that moment—
The Dragon Frost Marquis’s expression suddenly changed as he sensed the surrounding space-time subtly warping, as if a slice of a mirror had cut off his connection to the outside world.
Swish!
A figure emerged from the void, silently overlooking the Dragon Frost Marquis below.
"Lord."
The Dragon Frost Marquis was instantly alert, immediately rising to bow.
Being able to effortlessly isolate his space-time from the outside world meant that his life was entirely in the other’s hands. The Dragon Frost Marquis didn’t even entertain the thought of resistance.
"Give me five drops of essence blood. Essence blood."
Lin Yuan gazed down at the Dragon Frost Marquis and spoke.
The Dragon Frost Marquis, a peak Venerable, should have a high concentration of Profound Yin blood, making it suitable for Lin Yuan to comprehend the true Profound Yin Dao.
Whether it was the Profound Yin bloodline, Blazing Sun bloodline, or Great Spirit bloodline, all were passed down from their Thirteenth Tier ancestors, containing fragments of the true Thirteenth Tier Dao.
"Yes."
The Dragon Frost Marquis complied without any resistance, squeezing out five drops of essence blood.
Essence blood was the most vital blood of any lifeform, even a Venerable had only a limited amount.
"Remember, do not extinguish these five drops of essence blood."
Lin Yuan took the essence blood, glancing at the Dragon Frost Marquis and casually said.
.
At the Twelfth tier, any lifeform had absolute control over any part of their physical body, able to extinguish it with a single thought.
Even though the five drops of essence blood were now in Lin Yuan’s possession, the Dragon Frost Marquis could still extinguish them with a mere thought afterward, just as he could extinguish his own flesh and soul. Lin Yuan had no way to prevent it.
Unless he completely destroyed the Dragon Frost Marquis’s will, rendering his body and soul ownerless.
"Understood."
The Dragon Frost Marquis’s heart skipped a beat as he immediately nodded.
In the next moment,
The Dragon Frost Marquis felt the space-time around him restore, once again sensing the outside world.
"Earlier..." The Dragon frost marquis steadied himself, almost doubting the events of the past few moments if not for the loss of five drops of essence blood, he might have assumed it was all an illusion.
"That powerful being?"
The Dragon Frost marquis thought about the powerful being who had appeared, completely stripping away his control over space-time, making him feel like an ant in front of a giant.
"Celestial Venerable, definitely a Celestial Venerable."
The dragon frost marquis swallowed hard, vaguely sensing his five drops of essence blood had instantly been taken far away, though he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location.
"What could such a powerful being want with my essence blood?"
The dragon frost marquis wondered, but he didn’t dare attempt to extinguish the five drops of essence blood.
Indeed, he could extinguish his own essence blood, even after it had left his body.
But what then?
Angering that mysterious Celestial venerable would be no different from crushing an ant.
