Chapter 685: Exploration and Harvest
Chapter 685: Exploration and Harvest
The Supreme Leader of the Azure Cloud Holy Sect was unaware of whether Lin Yuan was still in the Azurecloud Academy.
However, if he wanted to meet this senior,, there was no other place to go except the Azurecloud Academy.
Given Lin Yuan's strength, even if he was not currently in the Azurecloud Academy, he would certainly know everything that was happening here, and their visit would not go unnoticed.
Therefore, after respectfully expressing his intention to meet, the Supreme Leader quietly stood in place.
If Lin Yuan was willing to see them, they would naturally meet. If not, the Supreme Leader would not dare to insist.
An unknown amount of time passed.
A voice sounded in the Supreme Leader's ear, as well as in the ears of the 456 elders.
"Come in."
"Yes." The Supreme Leader's heart was set.
From this response, he was certain that Lin Yuan had no ill will toward the Azurecloud Holy Sect and even harbored some goodwill.
Otherwise, he would not have accepted their visit.
Soon, the Supreme Leader and the many elders entered the depths of the Azurecloud Academy.
"Here?"
As they went deeper,, the Supreme Leader's expression slightly changed. At this moment, he could no longer sense the existence of the outside world.
As the Supreme Leader, he could control the Azurecloud HolyMountain at any time, yet now he could not detect the Azurecloud Holy Mountain at all, as if this place and time were completely isolated from the outside world.
"Senior's grasp of time and space."
The Supreme Leader was inwardly shocked. To have created such an independent space within the Azurecloud Holy Mountain was no less than building a lair in the eye of a tiger.
As the Supreme Leader, with just a thought, could control everything in the Azurecloud Holy Sect, yet for so many years, he had not detected a thing.
If Lin Yuan truly had any murderous intent toward the Azurecloud Holy Sect, he would not even be able to resist, let alone react.
The Supreme Leader and the elders did not walk for long.
They soon arrived in a spacious area.
In the center, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Greetings, Senior."
The Supreme Leader immediately bowed.
Hundreds of elders behind him similarly bowed.
"Hmm."
Lin Yuan nodded, casually asked, "What brings you here?"
"Senior, not long ago, I used the Holy Sect's heritage rune script to investigate and saw that great demon," the Supreme Leader said truthfully, not hiding the fact that he had detected Lin Yuan's actions.
In fact, at the end of the rune script's interwoven image,,, the Supreme Leader also realized that Lin Yuan had already detected their surveillance.
At this point, hiding it would be nothing but self-deception.
"This visit is to thank Senior for protecting our Holy Sect for so many years," the Supreme Leader said gratefully.
"No need to worry."
Lin Yuan slightly shook his head.
For a thousand years, he had continuously cleared nearby demons and great demons, significantly reducing the casualties among the Azurecloud Holy Sect's disciples. This could also be considered a form of protection.
And with Lin Yuan's character, if the Azurecloud Holy Sect truly encountered a life-and-death crisis after he recovered his strength, he would not turn a blind eye.
With Lin Yuan's power, time, unless a group of source demons attacked, the Azurecloud Holy Sect would likely be as steady as Mount Tai.
Thus, Lin Yuan had every right to say "No need to worry."
"Regarding that rune script's surveillance technique..."
Lin Yuan asked with interest.
He was quite interested in the use of these runes, finding them to have a rich history and not originating from the Azurecloud Holy Sect.
The founder of the Azurecloud Holy Sect was merely a first realm of freedom, roughly equivalent to a Great Sage of Chaos. How could he have developed a surveillance technique that almost escaped Lin Yuan's detection?
"Senior, that rune script's surveillance technique originates from the Eternal Sect," the Supreme Leader immediately answered.
"Eternal Sect?"
Lin Yuan looked at the Supreme Leader.
According to the information he had, the Eternal Sect was a force with a thirteenth-rank time life entity.
At the beginning of the great change, the endless demonic aura originated within the range of the Eternal Sect, and countless demons today ravaged the world. However, the strongest source demons were mainly concentrated in the center of the world, restrained by the Eternal Sect's forces.
"Yes."
The Supreme Leader nodded and said, "At the beginning of the great change, the Eternal Sect often sent envoys to our sect, providing some support. That surveillance technique was given by the Eternal Sect, specifically used to investigate great demons and other demons."
"Unfortunately, it has been a long time since the last envoy arrived."
The Supreme Leader sighed, speculating that the Eternal Sect was under great pressure and could no longer attend to them.
"So it is like this."
Lin Yuan nodded.
No wonder he had almost failed to detect that surveillance technique, which originally came from the Eternal Sect.
"Can you give me those techniques?"
Lin Yuan directly asked.
These techniques from the Eternal Sect were not kept in theAzurecloud Academy, so Lin Yuan had no way of knowing them.
"Fine."
The Supreme Leader took out a jade slip, recording all the techniques from the Eternal Sect.
For the Azurecloud Holy Sect, no matter how many techniques they had, they were far less valuable than Lin Yuan's protection.
Seeing Lin Yuan begin to examine the techniques within the jade slip, the Supreme Leader and the elders immediately withdrew with interest.
"Wonderful."
Lin Yuan roughly browsed through the techniques within the jade slip, his eyes slightly brightening.
These secret arts have reached a level that is almost beyond comprehension, even for Lin Yuan, who was deeply moved upon his first encounter with them.
"Thirteenth Tier, these secret arts must have been created by a Thirteenth Tier being."
Lin Yuan was certain. He could faintly sense the perspective of a Thirteenth Tier Time Life from these secret arts.
Only a Thirteenth Tier being, capable of observing countless timelines, could create such perfect secret arts.
"Eternal Sect."
Lin Yuan looked up at the center of the universe and continued to comprehend the secret arts.
After half a day, Lin Yuan had basically grasped the dozens of rune arts recorded in the jade slips.
These secret arts covered various aspects, clearly showing that the Great Transformation had indeed begun, and the ETERNAL Sect was truly planning to help numerous sects through their difficulties.
"The path of runes is truly profound."
Lin Yuan was deeply moved. He originally thought that his understanding of the rune path had reached a high level, but seeing these dozens of secret arts from the Eternal Sect, he realized he was still far from fully comprehending the rune path.
"The two yuan spirits have explored quite far regions."
Lin Yuan's gaze was deep. After discovering that the number of 'demons' nearby was insufficient, he dispatched the two yuan spirits to explore farther regions. One goal was to hunt more 'demons,' and the second was to find forces similar to the Azure Cloud Holy Sect to obtain the corresponding rune inheritance.
The appearance of the terrifying giant demon was also the reason Lin Yuan directly mobilized his true body. With the two yuan spirits not by his side, there was no need to recondense them.
"Continue to open Particle Worlds."
Lin Yuan's thoughts focused. Having just refined the terrifying giant demon that approached the source demon, his resources were abundant.
Each time he opened a Particle World, Lin Yuan's strength would increase by a fraction.
In a place far from the Azure Cloud Holy Mountain.
Lin Yuan's Yin Yuan spirit sat cross-legged, with avatars exploring in all directions.
The strength of the Avatars was far from that of the True Body, mainly focusing on exploration. They could handle most threats, but if they couldn't, the Yin Yuan spirit would intervene.
Using Avatars to explore systematically was the most efficient method Lin Yuan could currently think of. If any real danger arose, he could simply dissipate the Avatars.
"According to the ancient records of the Azure Cloud Academy, before the Great Transformation, the forces in this Source World were divided into five levels."
Lin Yuan thought, "The first level, naturally, is theEternal Sect, with a Thirteenth Tier Time Life presiding, eternal and unextinguishable."
"The second level of forces are the Supreme Holy Sects, with a Third Realm Transcendent being presiding, which is an Invincible Great Sage, the strongest Celestial Sovereign level beings."
"The third level is ordinary Holy Sects like the Azure Cloud Holy Sect, whose founders entered the Third Realm Transcendence. The Azure Cloud Holy Sect barely crossed this level."
"The fourth and fifth levels are forces established by Sixth Realm Longevity beings, and there are many of them."
Lin Yuan slightly shook his head. Due to the widespread use of the rune path in this Source World, there were many Sixth Realm Longevity beings, but only those who entered the Third Realm Transcendence were considered to have ascended.
"Despite exploring for so long, I haven't found any Second Level Supreme Holy Sect forces, or even Third Level Holy Sect forces."
Lin Yuan slightly shook his head. The forces he wanted to find were those that had been breached by 'demons' but still had some inheritance left. These forces were deeply hidden, making them very difficult to discover.
Forces breached by 'demons' would not leave many practitioners, but many inheritances, especially those of the rune path, would likely remain. The 'demons' had little interest in inheritances; they only desired to devour spirits.
When a sect force was breached, the sect leader would often leave a thread of life for the sect's inheritance, at least to allow future practitioners to discover their inheritance.
Over the years, Lin Yuan's two yuan spirits, while hunting 'demons,' also searched for such breached forces to obtain the remaining rune path inheritance.
However, so far, the force sites Lin Yuan had discovered were all Fourth and Fifth Level sects. Even if there were remaining rune inheritances, they were of little help to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan yearned to find higher-level force sites, at least those of the Holy Sect level.
"Unfortunately, after the Great Transformation, major sects moved their headquarters to avoid the 'demon' disaster, rendering pre-transformation maps useless. Only theEternal Sect had the means to investigate the specific locations of some sect forces."
Lin Yuan slightly shook his head.
For example, the Azure Cloud Holy Sect's headquarters, the Azure Cloud Holy Mountain, was a Third Realm Transcendent level weapon. When necessary, it could carry all sect disciples away.
"Take it slowly."
Lin Yuan was not in a rush, always paying attention to the exploration status of his numerous avatars.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Yuan's expression changed. One of his avatars had discovered a sect site.
This site was extremely chaotic in space and time, even though thoroughly breached by 'demons,' it had been slowly recovering over billions of years. The site's great formations were beginning to revive.
"This site is not ordinary."
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed as he carefully observed the distant site.
