Red Kun main star.
Thirteenth mountain peaks, deep within the palace.
Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
"Finally back."
Looking at the familiar scene around him, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The five hundred years in the Central Divine world had a significant impact on Lin Yuan, especially the last breakthrough into the seventh rank, even though this seventh rank was not what Lin Yuan wanted.
But it also allowed Lin Yuan to see scenes that he had never been able to touch before.
The higher you stand, the farther and wider you see.
"I hope this last resort won't be needed in the future."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan deliberately returned to the Central Divine world, placing his physical body in a hidden location, and then consciously returned.
The purpose of this move, is to ensure that one day in the future, if he returns to the Central Divine world, he can directly possess the physical body left behind to grasp the strongest power of one realm at the fastest speed.
After breaking through to the sixth rank, the Gate of the Myriad Realms had more "functions", including returning to the worlds that had been traversed before.
But even if he returned, Lin Yuan would choose to descend consciously, as for physical body traversing, it was both dangerous and consumed more "boundary breaking source power".
Descending consciousness meant starting cultivation from scratch, even if he had a high realm, it would still take time step by step.
But with his own physical body left behind, everything became simple.
Just need to detach consciousness and possess the body, to restore to the strongest strength in the Central Divine world.
Of course.
Although leaving behind this last resort.
Lin Yuan did not want this last resort to be used passively.
Because it meant the Central Divine world had undergone some unexpected changes, resulting in the danger of the martial arts cultivation system being overturned.
Returning to the Central Divine world again requires consuming ten strands of "boundary breaking source power".
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan would not choose to do so.
"Spirit World."
Lin Yuan's expression sank into brief contemplation.
In the last thirty years of his stay.
Lin Yuan wandered alone in the chaotic flow of space outside the world, and had also looked at the huge Spirit World located high above from afar.
That was a behemoth far beyond the Central Divine world, the many auras it emitted, like radiation, locking down millions of lower realms including the Central Divine world.
"Unfortunately, flying directly to the Spirit World is still somewhat risky, there is no need to do so."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The level of the Spirit World was very high, there was no doubt about it, there were Immortal King-level powerhouses comparable to the Main World, and even existences surpassing the Immortal King level.
If Lin Yuan entered the Spirit World, it would definitely attract many attentions.
In such a situation. Even if Lin Yuan only descended with consciousness, fearless of death, it would still not guarantee complete safety.
In front of those true powerhouses, even if Lin Yuan wanted to die, he might not necessarily die, he might be "soul-searched" and expose information about the Main World.
In addition.
Lin Yuan did not enter the Spirit World through the Ascension Platform, for almost the same reason.
Although Cangqing Immortal, the Upper Realm Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, had sworn in front of him.
But if he really ascended to the Spirit World, and fell into the hands of those Immortals.
Accidents were unavoidable.
Lin Yuan never let himself fall into passivity.
Moreover.
Having mastered the coordinates of the Spirit World, Lin Yuan could enter the Spirit World stealthily, there was no need to take risks.
At least.
As long as he did not enter the Spirit World through the Ascension Platform.
Then it was impossible for the martial arts cultivation system of the Central Divine world to be suppressed.
At least the Upper Realm Sect Master of the Immortal Sect would be wary, whether Lin Yuan might suddenly appear.
"I won't think about this."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, no longer paying attention to matters in the Central Divine world.
Since he had already left, it was meaningless to think about it anymore.
"The gains of this journey through the void."
Lin Yuan was in a good mood, the five hundred years in the Central Divine world, Lin Yuan not only reached the extreme of the sixth rank, but even explored a seventh-rank path.
It should be noted. The nine disciples of the Red Kun Lineage, Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, and Twelfth Senior Brother.
These nine disciples of the Red Kun Star Lord were all true geniuses of evolution, yet they were still trapped at the sixth rank.
Was it because the senior brothers were not good enough? Not at all, it was because the difficulty of crossing from the sixth rank to the seventh rank was too great.
That was the transformation of the essence of life, surpassing even the fifth to sixth ranks.
Lin Yuan had a deep understanding of this, after forcibly entering the seventh rank, he also felt the gap in realm.
"Space."
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In the last few decades of his fifth transmigration, Lin Yuan's perception of space soared like a rocket.
In the chaotic flow of space, the other side of space that Lin Yuan observed was filled with another aspect of destruction, compared with the calm, stable, and orderly space of the Main World, under the insight of Unrivaled Insight, Lin Yuan even directly reached the essence of space.
It could be said that the gains Lin Yuan obtained in terms of spatial rules during this transmigration were greater than entering the seventh rank.
"I can feel that the seventh rank of martial arts I want is related to spatial rules, but I still haven't opened up a satisfactory seventh rank chapter, because my understanding of spatial rules is still not enough."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The rules of space are vast, they are the fundamental rules that support the world, and the more Lin Yuan comprehends, the more he feels how small he is within the rules of space.
If before, Lin Yuan was in a well, with only the starry sky the size of the well's opening as the rules of space.
Then now, Lin Yuan has climbed out of the well and seen an even more vast and boundless starry sky.
"Take it slow."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and thought.
"Although I haven't comprehended a perfect seventh-rank chapter of martial arts, the sixth-rank chapter is almost ready. I'll tidy it up and upload it to the Goddess of Wisdom."
Lin Yuan rubbed his temples. The sixth-rank chapter of martial arts incorporated a deep exploration of the physical body by the Body Refining lineage.
Theoretically, Evolvers who have reached the sixth rank of cultivation have the possibility of developing bodily divine abilities.
Of course, which specific bodily divine ability it is depends entirely on the fragments of divine abilities in their bloodline.
But no matter what, even if it's just an auxiliary bodily divine ability, it's still very useful for Evolvers.
Unlike arcane techniques, using divine abilities doesn't require any restrictive conditions, they can be activated with just a thought.
"Blood Rebirth."
The aura within Lin Yuan's body began to fluctuate, strands of qi and blood intertwined and collided, faintly forming a mysterious pattern.
This was the "Blood Rebirth Divine Ability" that Lin Yuan had painstakingly comprehended in the Central Divine world, and then deduced from the main world's physical body.
This technique is only suitable for Lin Yuan; even if others were to obtain it, they wouldn't be able to form the technique's imprint.
"Strictly speaking, can my current physical body also condense a new bodily divine ability?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
After all, his current physical body and soul had just reached the sixth rank, and if he completed the development of the sixth-rank chapter, a new bodily divine ability would naturally be born.
"I'll try it later."
"First, I'll tidy up the sixth-rank chapter and upload it."
Lin Yuan wasn't in a hurry.
A day or two later.
Lin Yuan had roughly organized the sixth-rank chapter of martial arts, making it more suitable for the human race of the main world.
Then, he connected to the "Goddess of Wisdom".
"Respected citizen Lin Yuan, the Goddess of Wisdom is pleased to serve you."
The solemn and cool voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came through.
"I want to upload the sixth-rank chapter of the martial arts evolution path."
Lin Yuan said, then began to upload the contents of the sixth-rank chapter.
"Citizen Lin Yuan, please wait a moment, the Goddess of Wisdom is currently making a thorough assessment."
After receiving the sixth-rank chapter of martial arts, the Goddess of Wisdom immediately began her assessment.
"In fact, the cultivation system of Immortality hasn't appeared in the main world." Lin Yuan seemed to have thought of something.
He could completely upload the cultivation system of Immortality to the Goddess of Wisdom and receive rewards for it.
But after pondering for a while, Lin Yuan gave up on this idea.
The cultivation system of Immortality must have been established by some existence, if he were to spread it in the main world, wouldn't he be helping the one who established the cultivation system of Immortality?
Transmitting one's own evolution path or cultivation system was related to the "Ultimate Leap," and in this regard, Lin Yuan naturally didn't want to work for free.
Moreover.
Although the cultivation system of Immortality had a high upper limit, reaching the seventh, eighth, or even ninth rank.
But its restrictions were very great, such as requiring spiritual energy, or perhaps spiritual roots?
Although the universe of the main world was filled with various energies, there wasn't much cosmic energy similar to spiritual energy.
The most crucial point was spiritual roots, at least as far as Lin Yuan knew, there was no concept of spiritual roots among the human race of the main world.
If Lin Yuan were to upload the cultivation system of Immortality, the first thing he would have to do is to adapt the cultivation system of Immortality to the extent suitable for the human race of the main world.
In other words, he would have to deduce an alternative to spiritual roots.
The cost of this was too great, and with the time and energy spent on this, Lin Yuan would be much better off continuing to comprehend the martial arts evolution system, taking it to a higher level, which was far more worthwhile than the former.
While waiting for the final judgment of the Goddess of Wisdom, Lin Yuan began to look at other information.
Five hundred years in the Central Divine world, only less than four months had passed in the main world.
Lin Yuan opened the information records and roughly browsed through them.
"Son of Wan Yang."
Lin Yuan saw the message from the Son of Wan Yang sent to him about a month ago.
The general meaning was that he had already broken through to the sixth rank.
He hoped to spar with Lin Yuan again.
The Son of Wan Yang possessed the rare 'Nine Yang Divine Veins', and after sleeping in the depths of the stars for hundreds of years, his profound foundation was finally able to be fully utilized upon reaching the sixth rank.
At the peak of the fifth rank, Lin Yuan had once fought against the Son of Wan Yang, and in the end, crushed him.
This matter was still remembered by the Son of Wan Yang to this day; he was aware that Lin Yuan's evolution path was special, and the complete fusion of soul and body had greatly enhanced his combat power.
But at the sixth rank, the competition was not just about the evolution path anymore, it also involved one's own physical foundation.
After breaking through to the sixth rank, the Son of Wan Yang felt the qualitative change in his own strength, once again gaining confidence, wanting to find Lin Yuan for a spar to redeem himself.
Mayb he couldn't defeat Lin Yuan yet, but at least he shouldn't be crushed by Lin Yuan like before, letting Lin Yuan slap him until he admitted defeat.
"Spar with me."
Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment.
In the eyes of the Son of Wan Yang, Lin Yuan was also just entering the sixth rank, which was why he had the confidence to challenge him.
But in reality.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was already at the pinnacle of the sixth rank, and had even embarked on a certain path to the seventh rank.
The gap between him and the Son of Wan Yang was countless times greater than when they were both at the peak of the fifth rank.
At the peak of the fifth rank, the Son of Wan Yang could still withstand a few slaps from Lin Yuan.
But now.
"Forget it."
"There's no need to waste time."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. With his current strength, sparring with the Son of Wan Yang would be akin to bullying the weak.
Previously, when he sparred with the Sacred Son of Wan Yang, it was because Lin Yuan could gain insights from the exchange. However, now the disparity between them was too great, rendering any comparison meaningless.
He replied to the Sacred Son of Wan Yang with a brief "I don't have time recently" and continued browsing through the remaining messages.
He came across messages from his senior brothers regarding the Black Prison Family. Due to his instructions to enter seclusion before his transmigration, his senior brothers had left him messages instead.
The mention of a possible connection between the Black Prison Family and an alien race piqued Lin Yuan's interest.
Before revealing his identity as the Thirteenth Peak Master, Lin Yuan had some conflicts with the Black Prison Family's Black Prison Ao.
Later, after he publicly announced his identity upon reaching the sixth rank, the Black Prison Family became fearful, with Black Prison Mo personally visiting the Red Kun Main Star to seek forgiveness.
However, Lin Yuan was preoccupied with imprinting his Life Mark into the cosmic starry sky at the time and did not pay attention to them.
Afterwards, when his senior brothers inquired about his opinion, Lin Yuan expressed his reluctance to reconcile with the Black Prison Family.
With Lin Yuan's disapproval, his senior brothers decided to use various means to suppress the Black Prison Family, intending to make them completely decline.
This was the consequence of offending a Peak Master of the Red Kun lineage.
Despite the power of the five major forces in the Red Kun Star Region, they ultimately answered to the Red Kun lineage. While others might be manageable, those who dared to rebel against a Peak Master had no place in existence.
Originally, following his second senior brother's plan, they intended to scrutinize the Black Prison Family thoroughly. After all, a force like the Black Prison Family, which had been operating for hundreds of thousands of years, could not withstand such scrutiny. Any excuse would do.
To appease Lin Yuan, his second senior brother personally handled the investigation of the Black Prison Family.
However, during the investigation, his second senior brother discovered something alarming: the Black Prison Family seemed to have a connection with an alien race.
There was no concrete evidence of the Black Prison Family's connection with the alien race. Yet, some things did not require evidence.
Upon discovering this, his second senior brother immediately decided to detain Black Prison Mo. Regardless, they first needed to take Black Prison Mo, the highest authority in the Black Prison Family, into custody.
To ensure prudence, his second senior brother secretly contacted the Red Kun Star Lord. Under the watchful gaze of the Red Kun Star Lord, Black Prison Mo had no room to resist.
After being taken into custody, Black Prison Mo was subjected to a thorough soul search by a specialized eighth-rank Evolver of the Human Alliance.
Strong individuals like Black Prison Mo had long been capable of controlling their own memories, rendering conventional soul searching ineffective.
However, a specialized eighth-rank Evolver with expertise in soul manipulation could construct a vast illusory world, where Black Prison Mo's memories would unfold from his childhood onwards.
As Lin Yuan contemplated these events, a solemn and cold voice resonated.
"Respected Sixth-Rank Citizen Lin Yuan, the Sixth-Rank chapter you uploaded has been fully assessed," announced the voice of the Wisdom Goddess.
