Chapter 2: Reincarnation and Arrival, Heaven-Defying Insight
"This gate..."
"Can send me to another world?"
Through a brief mental connection, a flood of information poured forth from within the 'gate'.
In simple terms, as long as Lin Yuan wished, he could enter another world through the 'gate' in his mind.
Here, the word 'enter' did not refer to physical entry, but rather the descent of his true spirit and consciousness, similar to reincarnation and rebirth.
"The Myriad Worlds Gate." Lin Yuan's expression turned pensive.
Based on the text that flashed below his field of vision, the glowing gate in his mind should indeed be the fabled Myriad Worlds Gate.
And Lin Yuan, he was the master of this very gate.
"Should I try it now?" Lin Yuan pondered.
The Myriad Worlds Gate could send his true spirit into other worlds, but it wasn't without limitations. Each journey would require the gate to undergo a'recharge' period, lasting about eight months to a year according to the revolution cycle of Canglan Star.
"Never mind." Lin Yuan had made up his mind.
In a few days, recruitment officers would come for him, and he would be under comprehensive surveillance along with the other new recruits.
Lin Yuan didn't know if the spiritual travel through the Myriad Worlds Gate would leave any traces on his physical body that could be detected by the monitors.
But he dared not take that chance.
Even a fool could tell that the Myriad Worlds Gate in his mind was an extraordinary treasure.
Should its existence be revealed, the consequences would undoubtedly be worse than that of forced recruitment.
Lin Yuan understood the concept of 'guilt by association with a valuable item'.
Therefore, the best time to attempt an inter-world journey through the Myriad Worlds Gate was now.
At the moment, he wasn't under any obvious surveillance.
Even if something unusual happened, there was a chance he could cover it up.
Moreover, given the extraordinary nature the Myriad Worlds Gate had displayed, it might just be Lin Yuan's ticket to becoming an Evolver and avoiding forced recruitment.
"Transport."
As Lin Yuan's heart stirred with this thought, the light gate in his mind began to tremble.
He felt his consciousness being uncontrollably drawn into the light gate.
Great Li Dynasty.
Dachan Temple.
As a renowned Buddhist sacred site, Dachan Temple's foundations were profound and mysterious.
There were no fewer than fifty martial monks at the Innate Realm, and even a Saint at the Grandmaster realm.
It was common knowledge that— Whether in the halls of power or in the martial arts world.
Innate Realm warriors were considered top experts, and a Grandmaster was so rare that one could count them on two hands.
With a Grandmaster residing in the temple, Dachan Temple could be considered one of the top powers.
Martial Arts Court.
Hundreds of martial monks, bare-chested and sweating profusely, practiced the Arhat Fist.
Arhat Fist was not an advanced martial art, but it offered significant benefits for building a solid foundation.
The countless martial monks of Dachan Temple often practiced this style of punching to channel their qi and blood.
As the monks tirelessly repeated their routines, a group of three to four-year-old novice monks clad in gray robes poked their heads out from a distance, their round eyes brimming with curiosity and anticipation.
These young disciples were the newest additions to the temple, mostly orphans with no parents.
"Unbelievable!"
Among the dozen or so novice monks, one noticeably younger monk had a glint of strangeness in his eyes.
This little monk was, of course, Lin Yuan, who had traveled through the Gate of Myriad Worlds.
"A martial world."
Lin Yuan's expression turned pensive as he contemplated his surroundings.
Even though the original body of the young monk was quite young, he still had some understanding of this world.
It resembled an ancient version of 'Earth', where powerful martial artists could take on thousands of enemies single-handedly.
From the little monk's memories, Lin Yuan discovered that one of the older monks in Dachan Temple could effortlessly shatter a wall with a gentle palm strike from dozens of meters away.
Such an ability would be considered 'superhuman' in the context of the universe and human civilization, placing the monk firmly in the ranks of Evolvers.
[Name: Lin Yuan Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Worlds
Realm: None Bound Talent: Heaven-Defying Insight
Current State: Consciousness Incarnation Duration of Stay: Twenty Years]
Unbeknownst to others, a row of illusory characters silently flashed across Lin Yuan's field of vision, providing him with information.
"Can I only stay in this world for twenty years?"
Lin Yuan's expression became thoughtful as he considered this newfound knowledge.
While this wasn't difficult to understand, the newly appeared 'Bound Talent' left him slightly perplexed.
"Heaven-Defying Insight."
Lin Yuan examined himself and noticed that his five senses had become remarkably sharper, but he couldn't detect any other abnormalities.
"Hmm?"
"That's a sparrow."
Lin Yuan looked up and saw a sparrow flying in the sky.
With his enhanced senses, he could observe every detail of the sparrow's feathers, wings, and plumage.
[You have Heaven-Defying Insight. By observing the sparrow's flight, you have comprehended the divine Sparrow Sky-Crossing Body Art.]
Lin Yuan's eyes widened in surprise as countless key insights about the Sparrow Sky-Crossing Body Art flooded into his mind.
This technique allowed one to briefly hover in the air, and even though it couldn't achieve true flight like a sparrow, it was still incredibly extraordinary.
"So this is what Heaven-Defying Insight can do."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, realizing that just by watching the sparrow, he had gained insight into a rare body art. This ability truly lived up to its name.
"Earthworm."
Lin Yuan shifted his focus to an earthworm crawling out of the soil nearby.
【You have heaven-defying insight. By observing the earthworm tunneling, you have comprehended the Earth Dragon Turnover Technique】
A wealth of knowledge and techniques for digging surged forth, and with the Earthworm Turnover Technique, Lin Yuan would undoubtedly be able to create an extensive network of underground tunnels in a short amount of time, earning him the title of the ultimate ancestor of all tomb-raiding thieves.
"Perverted."
"Too perverted."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
At the same time, his attention was no longer focused on his surroundings.
Instead, he turned his gaze towards the numerous martial monks practicing their punches in the distance.
【Your insight defies the heavens. By observing the monks practicing the Arhat Fist, you have comprehended the superior martial art, the Great Arhat Buddha Fist】 Compared to the previous two attempts, this time took much longer, nearly half an incense stick's worth of time.
"Great Arhat Buddha Fist?"
Lin Yuan's mind lit up with insight, and he began to practice the fist technique.
Under an ancient, towering tree in the Martial Arts Court stood the head of the temple, Hui Wen, who paused in his tracks as he watched the martial monks practicing their punches.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
"There are no shortcuts on the path of martial arts."
"Only decades of diligent cultivation will lead to achievement."
Elder Hui Wen nodded slightly, his expression filled with approval.
He observed for a while, not spotting any lazy monks. Every monk was diligently practicing their punches without slacking off.
"Those little rascals."
Elder Hui Wen's gaze shifted, landing on the group of young novice monks who were peeking from a distance.
Although Dachan Temple was a sacred Buddhist site, it was also a major power in the martial world. It was only natural for the newly inducted novice monks to yearn for martial arts.
"They haven't even learned to walk, and they're already thinking about running?"
Elder Hui Wen saw six or seven young novice monks imitating the martial monks, pretending to practice their punches, and he couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
While the Arhat Fist was not an advanced martial art, it was a secret technique passed down in Dachan Temple, and it would take at least seven or eight years of dedicated practice to master it.
This was assuming one had ample qi and blood, as well as guidance from a skilled teacher. As for those young novice monks, their bodies hadn't even fully developed yet, so it was impossible for them to truly learn the Arhat Fist.
"Nonsense, all of you are being ridiculous."
Elder Hui Wen's brows furrowed. Martial arts was no joke, and forcing themselves to practice would not only be futile but also harmful to their bodies.
"Hmm?"
Just as Elder Hui Wen was about to step in and chase away the group of young monks, he suddenly froze.
His gaze fell upon the youngest monk among them.
Like the others, this little monk was also practicing his fist technique.
"What?"
Elder Hui Wen's expression changed, and the more he watched, the more incredulous he became. His heart was stirred as if by a tumultuous wave.
