In this cultivation system of this realm, from weak to strong, it is divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, and Void Refinement.
Lin Yuan has no spiritual roots, unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Naturally, it's impossible to follow the Immortal Dao cultivation system.
But the Martial Dao cultivation system doesn't necessarily require spiritual roots.
The Martial Dao cultivation system established by Lin Yuan has a very low threshold, especially for someone like Lin Yuan, who has already pushed martial arts to the sixth rank as the founder.
It's even effortless.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Lin Yuan sits cross-legged.
The essence within his body circulates.
After a moment.
Lin Yuan opens his eyes, taking out a bottle of elixir.
He pours out a pill and swallows it.
As the elixir enters his body, it instantly turns into surging blood and energy.
Continuously forming the 'inner qi' of the early stages of martial arts.
The difference between the Immortal Dao and the Martial Dao in the early stages, is that the Immortal Dao requires refining the essence of heaven and earth into one's own qi.
The essence of heaven and earth here refers to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
While the Martial Dao is refining one's own essence and transforming it into one's own qi.
In terms of efficiency, naturally, refining the essence of heaven and earth in the Immortal Dao is faster.
After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is endless, and the refining process is continuous.
Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious.
That is, it relies too much on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
If one loses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or goes to a place without spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It's estimated that the Immortal Dao cultivation system will be cut off.
In the Martial Dao cultivation system, the early stages involve refining one's own essence.
Regardless of which world one is in, as long as one still has blood and energy, one can cultivate the Martial Dao.
And as the Martial Dao cultivation progresses to deeper stages, one can also forcibly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth is nothing but a form of energy.
It's just that Immortal Dao cultivators use their internal spiritual roots to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while Martial Dao cultivators forcibly consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Half a day later.
Lin Yuan consumed dozens of elixirs to enhance his blood and energy, stepping into the second rank.
The second rank of martial arts is equivalent to the Foundation Building stage in the Immortal Dao.
"Almost there."
Lin Yuan restrained his blood and energy, concealing the aura of the second rank of martial arts.
In this realm, it's a major Immortal Dao world. If he suddenly exhibits talents or methods he didn't have before, even if there are no traces of being 'possessed', he will attract attention from others, especially considering his deep background.
With a grandparent at the level of Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.
It's better to be cautious.
Lin Yuan doesn't want to see himself being brought by his parents to his grandparent's place for examination due to his abnormal performance, and maybe even end up staying with this Ancient Saint. (Another way to call Void Refinement Stage Cultivators)
"I need to create a technique to shield against Divine Sense."
Lin Yuan fell into contemplation.
The detection methods in the Immortal Dao world are mainly based on Divine Sense.
As long as he can shield against Divine Sense, it's equivalent to making it difficult for outsiders to actively detect Lin Yuan's true strength.
"Divine Sense."
Lin Yuan pondered repeatedly.
Divine Sense is a certain application of the power of the soul. To shield against Divine Sense, one must also use the power of the soul to 'prevent' it.
Lin Yuan's insight is exceptional, coupled with numerous evolution paths in the main world, many of which involve soul-based evolution paths.
So it only took him a few days.
To create a technique specifically designed to counter Divine Sense.
This technique uses one's own soul power to condense into a special barrier. The moment other cultivators' Divine Sense probe over, it quickly assimilates, thereby achieving the goal of shielding.
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
By activating this technique and combining it with his own realm, unless a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator personally comes and repeatedly inspects him, it would be difficult to notice any anomalies.
If Lin Yuan were to restore his strength to the fourth or fifth rank, even if it were a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator, even if he inspects Lin Yuan thoroughly inside and out, there shouldn't be any problems.
Two months later.
Lin Yuan was in seclusion practicing.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
The maid Chunhua hurriedly arrived outside.
"Young Master, the Eldest Young Master and Second Miss are here to see you."
"I know." Lin Yuan stopped practicing and walked out.
The Eldest Young Master and Second Miss mentioned by Chunhua, naturally, they are Lin Yuan's older brother and sister.
The three of them have a good relationship, and the older brother and sister take good care of Lin Yuan.
Previously, when Lin Yuan lived on Daoist Immortal Mountain, no one dared to provoke him.
Apart from his parents and grandfather's background.
It's also because all the disciples of the Immortal Sect who provoked Lin Yuan, were somehow beaten up by the older brother and sister several times.
As time went by, whenever the disciples of the Immortal Sect saw Lin Yuan, they couldn't help but be cautious, afraid of being beaten up for no reason.
After all.
If they were beaten by other disciples, they could still reason it out and even go to the Law Enforcement Hall of the Immortal Sect to complain.
But if Lin Yuan's older brother and sister were to beat them up, they would have to swallow it themselves.
After all, their background is there.
Can the law enforcement cultivators of the Immortal Sect truly dare to punish the grandson of a cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage Cultivator level?
Even though the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect has repeatedly emphasized that the law enforcement cultivators must act justly and impartially, without any favoritism.
But who truly dares to act 'justly and impartially'?
"Younger brother."
"Younger brother."
Lin Yuan hadn't even reached the main hall yet when he heard his elder brother and sister calling him.
"Big brother, second sister."
Lin Yuan greeted them.
"Hahaha, younger brother, you look quite healthy."
"Tell me, who dared to fly in front of you? I'll make them fly for a year."
"A year isn't enough, at least three years."
The elder brother and sister chuckled.
"Hahaha, it's fine, no need for that trouble."
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
Originally, Jun Wuji, the original owner of this body, wasn't a bad person; he wouldn't cling to a matter like this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have willingly let his parents send him out here.
Lin Yuan looked at his elder brother and sister in front of him.
His elder brother was a tall and sturdy man with a very affable smile.
It was said that his elder brother had a gold attribute spirit root talent and followed the path of sword cultivation. His killing power ranked among the top three among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Every time there was a riot among the savage beasts in the west, it was his elder brother who led the suppression. One could only imagine how much blood of demon kings had stained his hands.
As for his second sister, she had a mutated thunder attribute earth spirit root. She appeared gentle and restrained, but that was only in front of her family.
Outside, she was known as the Goddess of the Divine Sky.
"Younger brother said he won't pursue it, so we won't. Let's be lenient with those people."
The elder brother smiled.
They could see that Lin Yuan seemed to be in a good mood now.
"Younger brother, let me tell you, this Cloud Mist Blessed Land is called the 'Longevity' Blessed Land."
"Among the one hundred and eight blessed lands of the Central Land Divine Continent, each blessed land has unique effects. The effect of the Cloud Mist Blessed Land is longevity."
"If you stay here for a long time and occasionally take longevity pills, even if you don't cultivate, you can live for hundreds or even thousands of years, which is very likely."
The elder brother spoke up.
The second sister nodded in agreement.
"Father and mother faced a lot of questioning from many elders when they cleared out the Cloud Mist Blessed Land for you as your residence."
"But in the end, Dad stood firm against the objections and secured this Cloud Mist Blessed Land."
The second sister said.
"Causing trouble for Mom and Dad."
Lin Yuan sighed.
One could imagine the emotions of those elders of the Immortal Sect when they heard that the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, one of the one hundred and eight blessed lands, was to be inhabited by a waste without spiritual roots.
But there was no way around it.
Although Lin Yuan didn't have spiritual roots, he had a background.
No matter how much others doubted, it could only be doubt.
They couldn't make any substantive decisions at all.
That's the Immortal Sect for you.
"These days," Lin Yuan's mind was pleased.
After experiencing the fourth transmigration, the initial twenty years of darkness in the Abyss of Great Suppression.
This time, the transmigration started at its peak. Except for the inability to cultivate, everything else was fine.
Even the only drawback of not being able to cultivate was only in the eyes of others.
In fact, Lin Yuan could still cultivate, and even advance rapidly.
"Right, little brother."
"Living here, do you have any needs?"
"Just tell big brother."
The three chatted for a while, and the elder brother asked.
"Needs?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment.
"I want to try practicing again. I need some immortal cultivation techniques and physical cultivation techniques."
Lin Yuan said.
The reason he made such a request was that Lin Yuan wanted to comprehend the cultivation systems of this world.
Without spiritual roots, Lin Yuan couldn't embark on the path of immortal cultivation.
But that didn't mean Lin Yuan couldn't comprehend or borrow from the immortal cultivation system.
Some of the concepts and ideas of the immortal cultivation system could still provide Lin Yuan with some inspiration.
And under his unparalleled insight, these inspirations could have a magnifying effect.
As for the physical cultivation techniques later on.
Physical cultivation was a branch derived from the immortal cultivation system.
It only forged the body, so there were no restrictions regarding spiritual roots.
However, to try physical cultivation, one must endure endless torment.
Coupled with the fact that the lifespan of physical cultivation was no different from that of an ordinary person, the original Jun Wuji hadn't made much attempt at this cultivation method.
"Younger brother."
The elder brother and sister sighed in their hearts.
They understood that Jun Wuji still hadn't given up on cultivation.
Throughout history, there had never been a case of someone without spiritual roots embarking on the path of immortal cultivation.
But the former Jun Wuji firmly believed that just because something hadn't happened in the past didn't mean it wouldn't happen in the future.
So Jun Wuji often collected some immortal cultivation techniques as well as esoteric arts from other sects to try cultivation.
His elder brother, second sister, and parents saw all of this.
Although they knew that what Jun Wuji was doing wouldn't yield any results.
But they couldn't bear to stop him.
"Body cultivation techniques."
"Little brother, the path of body cultivation entails enduring great pain. Are you prepared for that?"
Big brother couldn't help but remind.
For ordinary people, embarking on the path of body cultivation could be understandable. After all, even if it doesn't increase lifespan, it at least enhances strength. But for Jun Wuji, it held little significance, rather seemed somewhat redundant.
"I want to see the principles behind body cultivation techniques."
Lin Yuan stated his reasons.
In reality, Lin Yuan was curious about the intricacies of body cultivation techniques in terms of refining the physical body. Typically, no cultivator would solely practice body cultivation techniques. Usually, those who were already at the stage of Golden Core or Nascent Soul would turn to body cultivation to enhance their physical strength and increase their chances of survival.
"No problem."
Big brother nodded.
As for the artifacts and treasures of the Daoist Immortal Sect, bringing them out required application procedures. But as for techniques and secrets, except for a small portion, Lin Yuan could copy down as many as he wanted onto jade slips to take with him.
The three chatted for a while longer.
Big brother and second sister then took their leave.
"Is there something bothering big brother?"
Lin Yuan keenly noticed big brother's unusual demeanor.
According to big brother's habits, he would usually stay with Lin Yuan for at least half a day.
"It's nothing major."
"It's just those wild beasts in the west causing some trouble again recently."
"I need to go over and kill a few dozen Demon Kings to show them who's boss."
Big brother shook his head, unconcerned.
To big brother, Demon Kings were no different from livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
"Be careful."
"I heard there's a new Demon Saint's aura appearing in the Demon Saint's Nest."
Second sister glanced at big brother, reminding him.
The Demon Saint's Nest was the sanctuary of the wild beasts, said to be ruled by a certain Demon Saint. And a Demon Saint corresponded to the level of a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator.
"Don't worry. If there really is a Demon Saint's aura, I'll make sure to get out of there."
Big brother nodded.
"The Demon Saint's Nest," Lin Yuan pondered.
Although the Daoist Immortal Sect was seated in the central continent of the Central Divine Land, enjoying the richest resources, the beasts in the west, ghosts in the south, and blood demons in the north all had their eyes on the Daoist Immortal Sect. However, due to the sect's unparalleled strength, there had been no major conflicts in recent years.
"Hahaha, second sister, I've told you not to talk about these things in front of little brother." Big brother laughed heartily upon seeing Lin Yuan's expression.
"Don't worry."
"With the life-saving methods bestowed by the Sect Master, even if I encounter a Demon Saint, I can ensure my survival."
After big brother finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Little brother."
"If you have any questions, be sure to tell your sister."
Second sister reminded Lin Yuan a few more times before also getting up to leave.
For a moment, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land quieted down again.
Several days later, disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect brought over dozens of jade slips.
Inside were recorded numerous profound cultivation techniques.
At the bottom were three jade slips, containing the three most powerful body cultivation techniques collected by the Daoist Immortal Sect.
"Body cultivation."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.
He immediately began browsing through them.
Body cultivation was renowned for refining the physical body. And the evolutionary paths of martial arts also placed great emphasis on body refinement. The foundation of the martial arts evolutionary system lay in the cultivation of the physical body's qi and blood, nourishing the spirit on this foundation, and evolving the primordial spirit.
"The body cultivation lineage in this realm continuously explores the potential of the physical body. By purely enhancing the strength of the physical body, when the physical body reaches its peak strength, there's a certain probability of manifesting a… physical body divine ability?"
Lin Yuan looked pensive.
The so-called physical body divine ability was an ability engraved deep within the blood vessels of the physical body. In theory, such an ability shouldn't manifest at all because it was too weak. However, body cultivation techniques did have the potential to rekindle this ability.
Of course, it was only potential.
For most cultivators who pushed body cultivation to its limits, manifesting a physical body divine ability was a legendary feat.
"Physical body divine ability."
Lin Yuan's eyes shone brightly. With his unparalleled insight, he could completely refine and perfect body cultivation techniques, greatly increasing the likelihood of manifesting a physical body divine ability.
From that day on, Lin Yuan secluded himself in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, quietly restoring his strength while delving into the essence of the cultivation system of this realm.
Time passed silently.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had gone by.
