"Those three sons of fortune."
Lin Yuan's face fell into brief contemplation.
What are the sons of fortune? Those favored by heaven and earth, encountering opportunities even when drinking water. Summarized, it means exceptionally good luck, often turning adversity into fortune and continuously growing stronger.
And today, Lin Yuan finally witnessed these points.
Normally, Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang would head to Tianjian Mountain to challenge Tianjianzi, paving their own paths to the tenth stage.
If everything went smoothly, when the three reached the summit of Tianjian Mountain, Lin Yuan's Yin avatar would descend, effortlessly conquering Tianjian Mountain.
With the power of the Yin avatar, no matter what means those three sons of fortune employed, their deaths were inevitable.
However, for some reason in this situation, those three sons of fortune unexpectedly paused midway, conversing with Sītú Ming for a few moments, even inviting him to join them.
By delaying for just this amount of time, those three sons of fortune avoided a catastrophic disaster.
One could only say that the luck of these three sons of fortune was excessively good. Compared to them, Sītú Ming, although also a member of the younger generation, was far inferior.
Usually, even if Xiao Huo and the others encountered Sītú Ming, they wouldn't stop to converse, let alone have such a lengthy conversation as today.
"Is it truly luck?"
"Or is it some kind of hint?"
Lin Yuan pondered.
In fact, with Lin Yuan's strength, if he truly harbored intentions to kill those three sons of fortune, regardless of what heaven and earth favored or how lucky they were, it would be meaningless.
Those three would still die.
There was no room for luck.
In the face of absolute strength, only equal strength could contend.
As for the rest? It was all futile.
However...
Lin Yuan comprehended the heavens and earth.
Faintly, he felt that even if he killed those three sons of fortune, it would be meaningless.
As long as this world persisted, after several years or decades, the fourth, fifth, and sixth sons of fortune would still emerge.
So, when his Yin avatar glanced at those three sons of fortune just now, he remarked, "Interesting."
"Pitiful."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The sons of fortune were favored by heaven and earth.
They could become fortunate or unfortunate.
The next line after 'when the time comes, heaven and earth are equally forceful' is 'when fortune leaves, heroes are no longer free.'
What does it mean to not be free? The sons of fortune could be seen as children of this world.
Or perhaps incarnations of its vessel.
Their limit is the limit of the world.
And they could never escape the constraints of the world.
Of course, there was also the possibility of the sons of fortune ultimately overcoming the consciousness of the world and turning defeat into victory.
But the likelihood was too low.
Everything about you, all your methods are bestowed by heaven and earth, by the world.
What could you use to overcome it?
"Speaking of which, in recent decades, the great fortunes of heaven and earth have flourished, giving birth to three sons of fortune in succession, also influenced by me."
As Lin Yuan's thoughts churned, he suddenly realized.
Over these years, Lin Yuan's strength had continuously grown, breaking through past constraints time and again.
Perhaps others were unaware, like Sītú Ming, Nuan Shu, and Moyang Demon Lord, who at most only realized that Lin Yuan was very powerful.
But just how strong he was, they had no concept.
Or rather, they couldn't even imagine.
However...
This world, this corner of heaven and earth.
Could sense Lin Yuan's changes in strength.
An individual too powerful brought a sense of crisis to the world.
Which then caused fluctuations in great fortunes, leading to the emergence of sons of fortune.
In a sense.
The birth of these sons of fortune was to subdue demons.
To subdue Lin Yuan, this astonishing demon.
However.
The birth of the sons of fortune also required time.
Even with the combined efforts of an entire world, nurturing three sons of fortune to the peak of the ninth stage within just over twenty years was unimaginable.
But Lin Yuan's growth rate was even faster, so fast that the sons of fortune couldn't hope to match it.
This led to a rather awkward situation.
When faced with Lin Yuan, the sons of fortune's mental states collapsed directly. Not to mention subduing demons, they didn't even dare to entertain such thoughts.
"Phew."
Just as Lin Yuan was contemplating, his Yin avatar before him slightly opened its mouth.
Spewing out two strands of divine power.
Once these two strands of divine power emerged, they continuously condensed, transforming into two figures the size of thumbs.
They were precisely Tianjianzi and 'Bai Qing'er.'
For other strong individuals, Lin Yuan's Yin avatar would swallow their blood and divine power without hesitation, nourishing itself directly.
But these two held a 'special' place in Xiahou Yuan's heart.
Of course, it wasn't a good place.
"Swallow them too."
Lin Yuan looked down at the two tiny figures of Tianjianzi and Bai Qing'er.
Feeling somewhat tasteless for a moment.
Without waiting for the two to awaken.
And without waiting to see their shocked and terrified expression upon awakening.
He directly summoned his Yang avatar and swallowed these two divine souls.
Devouring the blood and divine powers of sentient beings easily contaminates one's own soul purity, but occasionally swallowing a few times is no problem.
At Lin Yuan's current level, unless he devoured billions or even trillions of sentient beings in a short period, there would be no hidden dangers.
After settling the grievances of the 'original owner'.
Lin Yuan began to ponder the next matter.
That would be 'spreading the doctrine'.
As his status in the main world continued to rise.
Lin Yuan noticed one thing, that is, those super strong beings in the main world.
They would spread themselves, or evolution pathways related to themselves.
For example, the primordial 'ancient gods' deep in the cosmic starry sky, with their abilities, would not have 'ancient god' evolution pathways if they didn't want to.
In fact, the ancient gods are eager for the evolution pathways related to themselves to be spread among humans.
It's just that they are suppressed by the human alliance.
Not only the ancient gods, but also the high-level strong beings of the human alliance.
They are intentionally or unintentionally spreading their own evolution pathways.
The vast number of evolution pathways recorded by the Cosmic Human Alliance cannot be achieved solely by mandatory uploads of evolutionists.
Evolutionists must also be willing.
Lin Yuan once asked his eldest senior brother.
That is, the strongest disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord.
The strongest among the thirteen disciples.
The eldest senior brother told Lin Yuan that spreading one's own evolution pathway is related to the ultimate breakthrough.
Of course, the ultimate breakthrough is too far for the eldest senior brother.
Even the Red Kun Star Lord is far from reaching that level.
To truly reach that step, one must create a completely suitable evolution pathway for oneself, then there is hope.
Currently, whether it's the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother, or the third senior brother, they are all following the evolution pathways of their predecessors.
Since most of the super strong beings in the main world are spreading their own evolution pathways.
Then it's certain that this path is not wrong.
In the main world, in the human alliance, thousands of evolution pathways emerge.
The martial arts evolution pathway established by Lin Yuan needs to undergo fierce competition to gain some evolvers.
However, in this world.
Spreading his own evolution pathway is naturally not difficult for Lin Yuan.
After all, with invincible strength, why fear others not practicing?
However.
Spreading an evolution pathway is a very time-consuming matter.
Lin Yuan possesses Unrivaled Insight, under the high-rise building.
He can reach the peak in just a few decades.
But what about others?
They may need several generations, or even dozens of generations, to achieve something.
To prevent the martial arts evolution pathway from disappearing for inexplicable reasons during its spread.
Lin Yuan must cultivate a 'Guardian of the Way'.
To ensure that martial arts continue to flourish after he leaves this realm.
The lifespan of this 'Guardian of the Way' must be exceptionally long. If it is passed down from generation to generation, problems are likely to arise.
And most importantly, this 'Guardian of the Way' must be absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan. Regardless of the passing of thousands or tens of thousands of years, they must still be able to perfectly execute Lin Yuan's commands.
The 'Guardian of the Way' selected by Lin Yuan is Situ Ming.
Situ Ming's original body is the Five-Colored Lotus, with a long lifespan, easily living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Coupled with his divine power and physical body, both originating from Lin Yuan, he is absolutely loyal. Even when Lin Yuan's lifespan comes to an end, he can replace Lin Yuan and ensure that the martial arts can continue to spread for a long time.
When Lin Yuan saved Situ Ming, he spared no effort to spend a five-colored lotus, as well as a lot of time and energy, and finally a drop of blood.
It was all for this day.
Several months later.
Situ Ming returned to the underground palace.
"My Lord."
Situ Ming knelt before Lin Yuan with unparalleled fervor.
Nuan Shu, Moyang Demon Lord, and others beside him also showed utmost respect.
Tianjian Mountain had been flattened by a certain existence long ago, and this matter had long since spread across the Five Realms at a hurricane-like speed.
After all, there were many mortals living around Tianjian Mountain, and even practitioners of the Fourth and Fifth Stages.
Under the step of Lin Yuan's Yin avatar, all the powerhouses on Tianjian Mountain perished.
But outside Tianjian Mountain, many people witnessed this scene.
All sorts of rumors spread for a while.
Such as Tianjian Sect offending the heavens, so they received punishment, and the like.
However.
While outsiders were speculating.
There were also all sorts of speculations in the demonic path.
But all the speculations disappeared as soon as Situ Ming returned.
Because Situ Ming told them that it was the handiwork of the respected Lord.
"From today onwards, all practitioners of the demonic path will also cultivate this cultivation method."
"In addition, use all means to spread this cultivation method across the Five Realms."
Lin Yuan said indifferently.
In front of him, there was a pile of booklets.
Recording the martial arts evolution pathways sorted out in recent times.
In order to integrate the martial arts evolution pathways into this world as much as possible.
Under the premise of maintaining its core unchanged, Lin Yuan made some major modifications to it.
"Yes."
Nuan Shu and Moyang Demon Lord immediately agreed.
"North."
Sending away everyone, Lin Yuan still sat cross-legged beside the Spring of Qi.
At Lin Yuan's current realm, he had faintly felt that there was a 'black hole' in the extreme north, which was even farther north than the Northern Domain, beyond the boundless sea.
There seemed to be a 'black hole' hidden there, which was devouring the vitality of heaven and earth at all times.
As a result, the vitality of the entire heaven and earth was gradually decreasing at a slow pace.
Fifty thousand years ago, a hundred thousand years ago, there were eleventh-stage powerhouses born in the Five Realms.
But from ten thousand years ago to fifty thousand years ago, eleven-stage powerhouses had become legends, and even ten-stage powerhouses were extremely rare.
As for now, in the past ten thousand years, the only confirmed ten-stage powerhouse is Tianjianzi.
Under the flourishing period of heaven and earth, those sons of fortune might enter the tenth stage, but it's only a temporary measure.
The so-called flourishing period is just consuming the potential of the next few thousand or tens of thousands of years.
After those sons of fortune die of old age, this heaven and earth might not even produce a ninth-stage powerhouse.
And the culprit behind all this.
The culprit behind all this was the enormous 'black hole' that Lin Yuan faintly sensed.
Located to the north of the boundless sea.
Eastern Domain.
In a purple bamboo forest.
Xiao Huo, Yang Bixing, and Shen Lang, three sons of fortune, were staying here.
"However strong Xiahou Yuan is, we should not be affected. Strength is their own business, and we still need to continue cultivating," Yang Bixing said softly, but she was the fastest to recover among the three.
"That's right."
"A gentleman keeps striving for self-improvement," Shen Lang quickly rallied.
"Ashamed," Xiao Huo's eyes were red, but he had also recovered at this moment.
The three of them smiled at each other.
Just as they were about to continue chatting.
Deep in the purple bamboo forest.
There was a sudden rumbling.
Xiao Huo and the other two immediately got up and approached.
They vaguely felt that the rumbling was not simple.
Soon.
The three came to a huge opening.
The opening was pitch black, but inside, there was a huge fluctuation of vitality, as if it connected to another world.
"What is this?"
Xiao Huo frowned.
"This is the entrance to the underground world that hasn't appeared in tens of thousands of years."
Shen Lang pondered for a moment, his expression excited.
Under Shen Lang's explanation.
Xiao Huo and Yang Bixing gained some understanding of the underground world.
The so-called underground world is the underground world of the Five Realms, which is vast and boundless. Most importantly, it retains the vitality concentration from tens of thousands of years ago, even a hundred thousand years ago.
For a hundred thousand years, the entrance to the underground world has appeared several times.
Every time a practitioner enters, they come out greatly improved in strength, making it the top opportunity in the world.
"Hahaha."
"Even the heavens are helping us."
Xiao Huo and the other two glanced at each other and entered without hesitation.
When the three of them completely entered the entrance of the black hole.
The ground shook again, and pieces of rubble fell.
Completely hiding the entrance here.
Time passed slowly.
After Tianjian Mountain was flattened by a certain existence.
The truth gradually spread. Demon Emperor Xiahou Yuan had completed his demonic arts and sent out his divine power, transforming into a hundred-thousand-foot giant, flattening Tianjian Mountain.
When this matter first came out, most people didn't believe it because it was too unbelievable. A hundred-thousand-foot divine power, how powerful would that be?
But as time passed, the demonic path was still fine, and more and more people believed it.
After all, if this were false, Xiahou Yuan should have quickly come out to refute it. Otherwise, wouldn't they fear that the next one to be flattened would be the demonic path?
But Xiahou Yuan did not deny it, and no demonic head came out to explain, so it was tacitly accepted.
In this situation, Xiahou Yuan still lived well, so the news was likely true.
For a while, Xiahou Yuan was regarded as the strongest person in the Five Realms by many powerful beings.
More accurately, he was the strongest person in a hundred thousand years or even a million years.
A hundred-thousand-foot divine soul was simply terrifying.
And it was at this time that a cultivation system called Martial Dao began to spread rapidly across the Five Realms.
Those ordinary people without cultivation qualifications began to try this cultivation system.
Even those practitioners of the Third Realm or Fourth Realm, after discovering the potential of the Martial Dao cultivation system, decisively abandoned their own cultivation and switched to Martial Dao.
And so.
A hundred years passed in a hurry.
