"Body cultivation, the Void Refinement level, I've pretty much grasped it," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
As long as he wished, he could now step into Void Refinement within the body cultivation lineage, becoming the first body Void Refinement Realm cultivator in the Central Divine Continent in hundreds of thousands of years.
However, Lin Yuan's expression fell into brief contemplation.
It was different from returning to the sixth rank.
Lin Yuan had only just come into contact with the body cultivation lineage. If he were to break through to Void Refinement, it would be difficult to perfectly conceal all his breaths.
So when he returned to the sixth rank, the emphasis was on the "return," having already experienced it in the primary world.
Thus, when he re-entered the sixth rank in this immortal world, it was as simple as eating and drinking. Even the Daoist Immortal Sect's supreme treasure, the Taihao Mirror, which constantly monitored all the breaths of the Divine Continent, had failed to detect Lin Yuan's entry into the sixth rank.
But if he were to break through to Void Refinement within the body cultivation lineage, Lin Yuan wasn't confident in controlling his own breath. After all, he hadn't walked this path before.
"I can't break through here in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Daoist Immortal Sect was right nearby.
This place belonged under the surveillance of the Taihao Mirror.
Any slight abnormality in breath would draw the attention of the Taihao Mirror and, subsequently, the gaze of the sect master.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Daoist Immortal Sect had been stationed in the Central Divine Continent. Why didn't the Blood Demon Sea, the Ghostly Palace, and the Demon Saint's Nest dare to invade?
It was because of the Taihao Mirror.
This supreme treasure, when activated, could cover the entire Central Divine Continent. If activated by a Void Refinement cultivator, it could even form an incarnation of the mirror, appearing at any location in this world.
Of course, the farther away, the weaker the incarnation of the mirror would be.
"Where should I break through?" Lin Yuan looked at the map of this world that appeared before him.
Lin Yuan's gaze first fell on the area of the Eastern Sea Islands. After Yang Spirit's years of dominance, the White Jade Pavilion had become the leader among the Eastern Sea's eight hundred peripheral sects and three thousand left-hand paths.
"No," Lin Yuan considered for a moment and shook his head slightly.
While the Eastern Sea was within the White Jade Pavilion's sphere of influence, it was also a key area of concern for the Daoist Immortal Sect, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Ghostly Palace. Especially with the growth of the White Jade Pavilion's influence in recent years, the Daoist Immortal Sect had paid even more attention to it.
Choosing to break through in the Eastern Sea wouldn't be a wise move. The sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect could descend at any time with the incarnation of the Taihao Mirror. There was no need to take such risks.
Apart from the Eastern Sea, Lin Yuan could only choose the north, south, or west.
In fact, these three places were almost the same. Although they were constantly subject to the Daoist Immortal Sect's raids and suppression, the more so, the safer they were, after all, it was darkest under the lamp.
"I'll choose the west," Lin Yuan made up his mind.
To the west of the Divine Continent was the territory of the savage beasts.
The Demon Saint's Nest was the holy land of the savage beasts, with Demonic Saints, comparable to Void Refinement cultivators, in control.
Moreover, the Demon Saint's Nest belonged to Jun Wuji's father, Jun Dongjin, who was responsible for suppressing and sweeping it.
Over these years, Lin Yuan had roughly figured out the layout and rules of the hands dispatched by the sect disciples to suppress the savage beasts.
With this understanding, Lin Yuan could completely break through without attracting any external disturbances. Even if there were some breakthrough anomalies, they would be difficult to detect for a short period. By the time they attracted the attention of other powerhouses, Lin Yuan would have already left.
With the breakthrough location confirmed, Lin Yuan stepped out of the cultivation chamber.
"Young Master," Chunhua and Qiuyue greeted him warmly.
Lin Yuan instructed Chunhua and Qiuyue:
"I plan to seclude myself in meditation recently. Anyone who comes looking for me should be turned away, including Elder Brother, Second Sister, Father, and Mother."
"Understood," Chunhua and Qiuyue responded immediately.
This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.
Ever since Jun Wuji moved into the Cloud Mist Blessed Land decades ago, he had begun to cultivate frantically, spending most of his time in seclusion.
And during this time, no one could reach him.
After instructing Chunhua and Qiuyue, Lin Yuan entered the cultivation chamber once again.
"It's time to go," Lin Yuan stood in the chamber, leaving behind a trace of his own aura.
This aura could represent him and would be sensed by Chunhua and Qiuyue outside.
At the same time.
As long as someone intruded into this cultivation chamber.
No matter how far apart they were, as long as they were within this world, Lin Yuan would sense it.
After completing all of this, Lin Yuan secretly left the Cloud Mist Blessed Land. This was the second time Lin Yuan had left since moving into the Cloud Mist Blessed Land.
The first time was during the Great Ceremony of the Sect Master's breakthrough.
On the outskirts of the Central Divine Continent, in an ordinary valley, a figure appeared at some unknown time.
"This place isn't bad," Lin Yuan nodded slightly as he looked towards the valley.
This valley was not within the territory of the Central Divine Continent, nor was it within the territory of the savage beasts. Instead, it belonged to the buffer zone between the two.
In this location, the Taihao Mirror of the Daoist Immortal Sect couldn't monitor autonomously. Unless the sect master actively activated it to specifically sense this location.
But this possibility was very low. Why would the sect master do so without cause? When the sect master activated the Taihao Mirror and descended to the Eastern Sea, it was because Lin Yuan had attacked the Black Veil Islands, disrupting the sect's layout.
"This will do," Lin Yuan came to the valley and sat cross-legged in a certain cave.
A phantom figure emerged from Lin Yuan's body. It was the Yin Spirit.
This breakthrough was about the physical body, so the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit could free up their hands to protect Lin Yuan.
Since Lin Yuan had broken through to the sixth rank, the strength of the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit had also increased significantly. Even though they were slightly weaker than Lin Yuan himself, they possessed combat power comparable to that of a Void Refinement cultivator.
With a Void Refinement level expert protecting him, Lin Yuan chose to break through in this buffer zone. Whatever happened, he would have sufficient time to face it.
Even if the sect master of the Daoist Immortal Sect came wielding the supreme treasure to kill him during the breakthrough, the Yin Spirit could take Lin Yuan away if the breakthrough failed. It would only be a failure of the breakthrough, nothing more.
For Lin Yuan, there were ways to make up for it, and it wouldn't be considered a significant loss.
"Let's begin," Lin Yuan closed his eyes.
The majestic blood and energy within his body began to boil slowly.
Eastern Sea.
White Jade Island.
At the moment of Lin Yuan's breakthrough, the Yang Spirit opened his eyes and looked towards Lin Yuan's direction.
"I hope nothing unexpected happens," Lin Yuan's Yang Spirit thought to himself, stopping his cultivation and focusing on Lin Yuan's breakthrough.
If some extreme situation really occurred, and a Void Refinement level expert came to kill him, when necessary, this Yang Spirit avatar could quickly disperse and then condense within the Yin Spirit.
This meant crossing infinite distances to appear by Lin Yuan's side.
The Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit were two sides of the same coin. After the Yang Spirit dispersed, the Yin Spirit would pay a certain price to quickly generate the power of the sun, forming the Yang Spirit.
When the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit merged, they became the Taiji Divine Spirit, with combat power no weaker than Lin Yuan himself.
Of course, this method would cause some consumption for the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit, but as long as the breakthrough of the main body could be ensured, it was worth paying some price.
On the other side of the buffer zone between the Central Divine Continent and the savage beast territory.
Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zhilan stood in the void, commanding a large number of Daoist Immortal Sect disciples to slaughter the savage beasts.
At this moment, Jun Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly.
He reached out and took out a round treasure disc.
The pointer on the disc was trembling constantly.
This round treasure disc was called the "Sensing Demon Disc".
It could sense the movements and strengths of the savage beasts within tens of thousands of miles.
At this moment, the Sensing Demon Disc was vibrating non-stop.
"It should be the awakening of the eldest prince of the Demon Saint's Nest," Jun Xiaoyao said solemnly.
"The eldest prince?" Jun Zhilan's expression sank.
The Demon Saint's Nest was the holy land of the savage beasts, where the Demonic Saints, comparable to Void Refinement cultivators, slumbered.
If it weren't for the Demon Saint's Nest, the savage beasts would have been wiped out by the Daoist Immortal Sect long ago. How could they still exist now?
And the eldest prince was the first successor of the Demonic Saints in the Demon Saint's Nest.
The strength of the eldest prince could be said to be the strongest below the level of the ancients. With his special demonic bloodline, he could even erupt with the true combat power of an ancient saint level in a short period.
"In that case," Jun Zhilan said, "Let all disciples temporarily retreat to the Divine Continent."
The strength of the eldest prince of the savage beasts was too terrifying, and the Daoist Immortal Sect had means to counter it, but it wasn't necessary.
The eldest prince had a special bloodline, and he mostly slept. Only occasionally would he wake up and come out.
It could be said that as long as they avoided the time when the eldest prince woke up, the Daoist Immortal Sect wouldn't need to face such a terrifying opponent.
"Alright," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
He immediately issued the order.
Countless disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect who were slaughtering the savage beasts.
Quickly ceased their actions and returned to the territory of the Central Divine Continent.
At the same time.
Deep within the savage beast territory.
A terrifying aura was reviving.
Countless savage beasts, whether great beasts, demon kings, or demon lords, were trembling and cowering in place, not daring to move.
Boom.
A figure thousands of feet tall slowly walked out, causing the earth to tremble with each step, emitting an ancient and primordial aura.
Upon closer inspection, this figure was actually a giant ape.
A concept of thousands of feet, converted into meters, is about three to four thousand meters, towering high.
"Finally awake again."
"Mother really want me to practice that demonic technique, every hundred years, ninety years I have to sleep."
The giant ape strides forward, paying no attention to the countless demons trampled underfoot.
For it, those demons were no different from ants. Who would care about trampling a few ants?
"What a fresh air, too bad I only can enjoy it for ten years."
The giant ape sighed, knowing that in ten years it would have to go back to sleep until awakening again a hundred years later.
Boom boom boom.
The giant ape strides forward.
Soon leaving the barren area, it came to the border region with the Central Divine Continent.
"Hmph."
"Those disciples of the Immortal Sect are quite clever, they've all disappeared."
The giant ape glanced towards the direction of the Central Divine Continent, but had no intention of entering.
Although it had experienced nearly a hundred years of sleep, the giant ape's mind was a bit slow, but it wasn't stupid.
Entering the Central Divine Continent was equivalent to exposing itself under that Taihao Mirror, where it could be struck down by the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect at any time.
"Let's just wander around here."
The giant ape decided to stretch its muscles.
Just then.
The giant ape seemed to sense something and sniffed with its nose.
"This kind of aura."
The giant ape's eyes lit up as it vaguely sensed a vast spiritual energy converging towards a certain location.
"Is it the emergence of spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"
"Or has a great medicine matured in the world?"
The giant ape's huge mouth split open.
"All mine."
The giant ape immediately strode towards the perceived direction.
In the valley.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"Refining the Void body."
Feeling the vast qi and blood in his body, Lin Yuan felt delighted.
"Physical divine ability."
Lin Yuan could already feel that deep within his bloodline, a certain aura had formed and could manifest at any time.
"Hm?"
Just as Lin Yuan was about to check what kind of physical divine ability it was.
The ground suddenly trembled with a thunderous roar.
The next moment.
Lin Yuan left the cave.
Arriving above the valley.
"What's that?"
Lin Yuan looked towards the distance.
Only to see a giant ape of thousands of feet, running madly towards this direction.
"The Crown Prince of the Demon Saint's Nest?"
Lin Yuan immediately recognized the figure.
After all, this demon was extremely famous, known to be able to challenge Void Refinement Ancients, and could unleash combat power equivalent to that of an Ancient Saint.
Boom boom boom.
The giant ape strides forward.
"Where's my spiritual roots of heaven and earth?"
"Where's my great medicine of the world?"
The giant ape stopped its steps, looking around.
With its size, it paid no attention to the valley beneath its feet.
To the giant ape, the so-called valley was just a small mound of dirt.
"Hm?"
"You stole my spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and the great medicine of the world?"
The giant ape observed carefully and soon discovered a human figure like dust.
In the distance.
Several demons cautiously observed the giant ape.
"The Crown Prince seems to be in a good mood?" a wolf demon whispered.
He was also a Demon King in the Divine Transformation stage, but in front of the giant ape, he was no different from those Nascent Soul stage demons.
"Someone from the human race hasn't left?"
The demon king beside him seemed to have noticed something, looking towards the tiny figure on the valley above the giant ape's feet.
"It seems he hasn't noticed, too bad, he's going to die under the Crown Prince's feet."
The third demon king said with a low voice, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.
The Crown Prince had trampled on many demons along the way, so trampling on a human now balanced things out.
"This human, still not running away upon seeing the Crown Prince, might have some strength."
Another demon king couldn't help but say.
"Hmph."
"What can a bit of strength do?"
"In front of the Crown Prince, unless it's an Ancient Saint, everyone else is just ants."
The wolf demon who spoke first sneered.
The Crown Prince of the Demon Saint's Nest was the strongest force under the Demon Saint.
"That's right."
The other demons nodded in agreement.
"There are no spiritual roots or great medicine here."
Lin Yuan stood on top of the valley, calmly speaking.
"Lies."
"I clearly sensed the aura of spiritual roots and great medicine."
"Did you steal my spiritual roots and great medicine?"
The giant ape was furious, its voice buzzing like thunder, "Die."
Immediately, the giant ape lifted its right foot, intending to crush Lin Yuan and the valley beneath it into powder.
In the distance.
Several demons, seeing this, looked at Lin Yuan as if they were looking at a dead man.
To be precise, none of the demons' gazes lingered on Lin Yuan, because in the next moment Lin Yuan would be dead under the Crown Prince's feet.
"The Crown Prince's foot stirs the power of heaven and earth, involving the mystery of space. Even if one is faster, they cannot evade it, only resist it with all their might."
"To resist the Crown Prince's foot? This is something even a Divine Transformation Celestial Lords of the human race cannot do. Unless an Ancient Saint takes action, or there are life-saving means such as Ancient Saint-level talismans and treasures, otherwise, death is certain."
Several demons discussed quickly.
Their gazes were also observing the Crown Prince's foot, trying to learn something from it.
However, the next moment.
All the demons were stunned.
They saw the towering giant ape, which had been incomparably majestic in their eyes, suddenly stagger, unable to help but step back a few steps, causing the earth to shake and tear open several huge cracks.
The next moment, the giant ape was plunged into the ground by a foot.
Under their incredulous gaze.
Lin Yuan, who had been as tiny as dust in their eyes, now seemed to have transformed into a towering giant, directly stepping on the giant ape.
Another foot, and the giant ape, which tried to resist, was once again deeply buried underground.
Another foot, and the giant ape spat out blood, its bones cracking, its body covered in blood, barely breathing.
"If it were before."
Lin Yuan looked down at the giant ape, as if looking at an ant, calmly saying:
"I would have gone deep into the wilderness and flattened the Demon Saint's Nest."
