Chapter 7: Descending the Mountain, Entering the World
Chapter 7: Descending the Mountain, Entering the World
"As for you, Master," Lin Yuan turned to the elderly monk with long eyebrows standing beside him.
Lin Yuan owed a debt of gratitude to the long-browed elder for his guidance and teachings, even if it had only been for two months. Furthermore, it was with the elder's consent that Lin Yuan had been able to move into the Scripture Pavilion.
"The Great Grand Master realm focuses on the spiritual aspect, which is difficult to influence with external force."
"A few years ago, while studying the 'Muscle Changing Scripture' in the Scripture Pavilion, I gained insight into another martial art that should aid in reaching the Grand Master realm."
The martial art Lin Yuan referred to was, of course, the 'Yi Jin Body Refining, Marrow Cleansing, Blood Tempering, and Spirit Tempering Art'.
This martial art was not only capable of nurturing one's physical body but also tempering one's spirit.
The essence of a Grand Master's breakthrough to the Great Grand Master realm lies in the development of spiritual power.
And the purer the spiritual power, the easier it is to sense and condense into spiritual might.
It could be said that as long as one could cultivate this martial art to perfection, the probability of a Grand Master realm cultivator breaking through to the Great Grand Master realm would be as high as two or three out of ten.
"There is no need for you to waste your energy on me, my child. The path to becoming a Great Grand Master requires enlightenment and opportunity," the long-browed elder said immediately.
Before Lin Yuan, the common knowledge among the martial arts experts in the world was that the Great Grand Master realm could not be forced.
Even as powerful as a Great Grand Master, it was nearly impossible to cultivate another Great Grand Master.
A thousand years ago, the founder of the Great Chan Temple, Dharma Ancestor, was also a Great Grand Master. He accepted 108 eminent Buddhist monks as his disciples and established the Great Chan Temple.
However, none of those 108 eminent monks were able to step into the Great Grand Master realm.
"It's alright, just listen," Lin Yuan said without elaborating further. He then slowly explained the 'Yi Jin Body Refining, Marrow Cleansing, Blood Tempering, and Spirit Tempering Art'.
Seeing this, the long-browed elder listened patiently.
At first, the elder maintained a calm demeanor. He believed that what Lin Yuan was about to share would be similar to the insights passed down by Dharma Ancestor.
But as he heard only a fifth of it, his eyebrows furrowed, and his thoughts began to surge.
"This..."
The long-browed elder's heart began to race. As a Grand Master, he had a basic level of discernment, and just by hearing half of it, he realized the value of the martial art Lin Yuan was imparting.
It was a martial art for tempering the spirit! Martial arts that focused on the spirit were not unheard of.
There were a few spiritual martial arts left by Dharma Ancestor on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
However, all existing spiritual martial arts were only suitable for cultivation by Great Grand Masters, and only those who had condensed spiritual might could cultivate spiritual martial arts.
Yet, the art that Lin Yuan had realized, the 'Yi Jin Body Refining, Marrow Cleansing, Blood Tempering, and Spirit Tempering Art', could be cultivated even by those at the Innate Realm.
This... this was inconceivable! For a moment, the long-browed elder felt his mouth go dry.
He was well aware of the value of this martial art. If word of this got out, the Great Chan Temple would become the focus of the entire world.
The other major martial arts sects, and even the Dali Dynasty, would disregard their dignity and come to take this martial art by force.
After a moment.
Lin Yuan finished speaking and turned to the long-browed elder, who was left stunned.
The abbot and the other elders, who had been listening nearby, had also heard it all, but they didn't immediately realize the value of this martial art. They only felt that the art Lin Yuan had described was abstruse and difficult to comprehend, requiring slow contemplation.
"Alright, you may all leave now."
Lin Yuan lowered his gaze and waved his hand.
"Yes."
The long-browed elder snapped out of his daze and suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowing respectfully.
After the long-browed elder and the others left, the Scripture Pavilion fell silent once more.
Lin Yuan ascended to the third floor and picked up an ancient tome.
On its cover were the words 'Demon Subduing Wisdom Sutra'.
Wisdom Sutras were related to the spirit, and this was indeed a spiritual martial art left by Dharma Ancestor a millennium ago.
Before breaking through to the Great Grand Master realm, Lin Yuan had not mastered spiritual might.
Despite his heaven-defying comprehension, he had not delved too deeply into this type of spiritual martial art.
Now that he had attained the Great Grand Master realm, it was natural for him to start exploring this aspect.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During these days, Lin Yuan had been studying the 'Demon Subduing Wisdom Sutra'.
[Host's heaven-defying comprehension has allowed you to understand the spiritual martial art 'Demon Subduing Wisdom Sutra' and cultivate the extraordinary spiritual art 'Heaven-Shaking Earth-Shattering Great Law']
Lin Yuan's spirit rejoiced.
In his mind's eye, strands of spiritual might continuously entwined and wove intricate patterns, imprinting themselves on his spirit.
"Heaven-Shaking Earth-Shattering Great Law."
"A spiritual supreme art."
Lin Yuan had a feeling that once he activated the patterns condensed by his spiritual power within his Niwan Palace, it would release a spiritual domain.
Within the range of this domain, even someone at the Grand Master realm would have their spiritual will suppressed and suffer the agony of sinking into oblivion.
"Unreasonable."
Lin Yuan shook his head, feeling a sense of emotion.
With just this spiritual supreme art, Lin Yuan was confident that he could achieve invincibility within the Grand Master realm.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, another five years went by.
Inside the Scripture Pavilion.
Unfamiliar auras permeated the area but stopped short at the entrance.
"Beyond Grand Master."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and a white lightning bolt flashed across the void.
Void Born Lightning.
This was the external manifestation of an extremely powerful spirit.
A Grand Master's spiritual power could kill, but it couldn't shake the rules of matter.
For example, using spiritual power to lift a stone.
Throughout the ages, no Grand Master had ever been able to do this.
However, this ironclad rule had now been broken by Lin Yuan.
Because Lin Yuan's realm had already surpassed that of a Grand Master, reaching a realm that no one in this world had ever attained before.
Relying on his heaven-defying comprehension, Lin Yuan had only taken five years to traverse the Postnatal, Prenatal, and Master realms, achieving the Grand Master realm.
Now, after another five years, breaking free from the shackles of the Grand Master realm and achieving something unprecedented was not surprising.
"Let's call the realm beyond Grand Master the Mythic realm."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The realm beyond Grand Master was legendary, a myth.
Thus, naming it 'Mythic' was quite fitting.
"There are still ten years left."
"It's time to take a look at the outside world."
Lin Yuan calmed his breath and raised his head to look beyond the Great Chan Temple.
After reaching the Mythic realm, Lin Yuan had already digested and absorbed most of the Great Chan Temple's thousand years of accumulated foundations.
Next, if Lin Yuan wanted to maintain his cultivation speed from the past ten years.
He would have to venture out and gain insight into the other martial arts secrets of the world.
After all, the Great Chan Temple was just one of the major martial arts sects.
Apart from the Great Chan Temple, there were several other prominent martial arts sects, and even the Dali Dynasty that ruled over everything.
By experiencing martial arts that were completely different from those of the Great Chan Temple and further refining his heaven-defying comprehension, Lin Yuan would be able to more easily comprehend the path to the future realms.
Outside the Bodhi Court.
The abbot of the Great Chan Temple, Huiyuan, and several court chiefs gathered once again.
"I can already sense the bottleneck of the Master realm."
"In ten years at most, or twenty years at the least, I will be able to break through to the Master realm."
Abbot Huiyuan's tone was excited.
Under normal circumstances, with his talent, it would be difficult for him to reach the Master realm.
However, with Lin Yuan's guidance a few years ago, he had been given a glimmer of hope.
The other court chiefs had equally excited expressions, as Lin Yuan's guidance had benefited them greatly as well.
Although they might not be able to match the abbot in their confidence to break through to the Master realm within twenty years, they still had a good chance of doing so within thirty or forty years.
For Postnatal peak martial artists in this world, living past a hundred years was not a difficult task, and most of the court chiefs were in their sixties or seventies, so they still had the capability to make one last push.
Just at that moment.
A martial arts monk hurried in.
"Abbot, Court Chiefs, no, something's wrong!"
This martial arts monk was a little incoherent, obviously in a great hurry.
"Speak slowly, don't rush."
Abbot Huiyuan comforted him from the side.
"Buddhist disciple, Buddhist disciple."
The martial arts monk took a deep breath and was about to speak.
"What's wrong with the Buddhist disciple?"
Abbot Huiyuan stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the martial arts monk.
The other court chiefs also had solemn expressions.
At this moment, in their eyes, the Buddhist disciple was the hope of the Great Chan Temple for the next five hundred years.
Anything related to the Buddhist disciple was a major event for the Great Chan Temple.
"Buddhist disciple."
The martial arts monk saw the expressions of the court chiefs and quickly said, "The Buddhist disciple has descended the mountain."
"What?"
"The Buddhist disciple has descended the mountain?"
Abbot Huiyuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Did the Buddhist disciple say what he was going to do after descending the mountain?"
"Yes, what did the Buddhist disciple say?"
Court Chief Huiwen also asked anxiously.
"The Buddhist disciple said, he's going down the mountain, down the mountain."
The martial arts monk calmed himself and tried to imitate Lin Yuan's tone as he spoke.
"To take a look at this world."
