"Gourd."
Lin Yuan looked at the gray-yellow gourd in his palm.
The moment it touched Lin Yuan's palm, the originally gray-yellow gourd instantly turned completely gray, looking like an ordinary gourd.
"It can actually sense whether I've absorbed the liquid inside."
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.
Based on his experience using the gourd, the color on its surface depended on the user's absorption of the liquid inside.
For example, in the main world, when Lin Yuan absorbed the orange liquid, the gourd's surface color changed from gray to gray-yellow.
"Let's begin."
Lin Yuan's expression became solemn.
The liquid inside the gray gourd greatly increased his combat power.
Especially for the enhancement of his inner world. Currently, Lin Yuan's inner world had reached four million miles in radius. If he could restore the enhancement to the level of the main world.
His inner world would expand to twenty million miles in radius.
And this was just the enhancement from the orange liquid. There were still five different colored liquids for further enhancement.
Lin Yuan couldn't imagine how his inner world would grow once he completely absorbed all seven colored liquids.
"First, a blood drop to confirm qualification."
Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and dropped a bit of blood onto the gourd's surface.
Only creatures whose blood contained the 'power of rebirth' could activate the gourd.
For Lin Yuan, this 'power of rebirth' was the aura of the divine ability 'Blood Rebirth.'
Lin Yuan had already comprehended the divine ability mark of this skill and had replicated it onto his current body over the past century.
Swoosh.
The bloodline verification passed.
Lin Yuan immediately noticed the gourd beginning to change.
"Red liquid."
He tilted the gourd, and soon, red liquid gathered.
Lin Yuan started absorbing it without hesitation.
Time passed.
Several years went by in the blink of an eye.
Compared to the previous hundred years, a few years passed almost instantaneously.
In the Martial Temple's cave mansion.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his inner world vast and mighty, reaching twenty-six million miles in radius.
It should be known that the limit for human civilization evolvers was about ten million miles in radius. This was a racial limitation, with almost no possibility of breaking through.
Yet Lin Yuan's inner world had easily reached twenty-six million miles in radius. If this were known to the Human Civilization Alliance in the main world, it might prompt action from the strongest ones.
Such a method to achieve a higher racial limit, even for the strongest ones, would require a tremendous price. But the liquid in the gourd could easily accomplish this?
Inner world.
Lin Yuan's form condensed.
"Such immense world power..."
Lin Yuan was somewhat mesmerized. In the main world, his inner world barely reached ten million miles in radius, still within the upper limit for human evolvers' inner worlds.
But now, the inner world of twenty-six million miles in radius contained such abundant world power that it made Lin Yuan's heart tremble.
The difference between ten million miles and twenty million miles in radius was far more than just double.
"Eighth Rank Invincible. With my current strength, even without using the 'Enhancement' divine ability, I should have reached the level of Eighth Rank Invincible." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Theoretically, an inner world of tens of millions of miles in radius could possibly rival the Eighth Rank Invincible.
But that was only with an inner world of tens of millions of miles in radius. The sheer magnitude of world power alone would be enough to contend with the cosmic power comprehended by the Eighth Rank Invincible.
Although Lin Yuan's current inner world was only over twenty million miles in radius, he had many other methods.
His overall combat power was already no less than a normal Eighth Rank Invincible.
"But..."
Lin Yuan looked up slightly, gazing towards the sky.
There, a sphere composed entirely of Yin and Yang power was suspended.
Since Lin Yuan re-entered the Seventh Rank and developed his inner world, the complete Yin and Yang rules had manifested in his inner world and began to merge.
This was the scene before him.
Forming a sphere entirely composed of Yin and Yang, suspended there.
Lin Yuan could feel that within the sphere, as the Yin and Yang rules merged, they began to transform and leap.
So he did not interfere much.
"It should be almost complete."
Lin Yuan carefully sensed it. Inside the sphere, every transformation of the Yin and Yang rules was completed naturally. Lin Yuan could interfere, but he knew that it was best to observe quietly at this moment.
"Could it really be birthing a new rule – the Tai Chi rule?"
Lin Yuan speculated in his mind.
The Tao of Tai Chi was a path Lin Yuan created. Unlike the rules of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and thunder that already existed in the universe, the Tao of Tai Chi and its rule had never appeared before in the main world or any other worlds.
In Xiaoyao City.
A luxurious manor.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared there.
"Chang'er, you're here?" Shen Zhen was watering flowers in the manor. Seeing Lin Yuan, she immediately called out joyfully.
Lin Jianping was cultivating. Hearing Shen Zhen's joyful call, he immediately came out, opening the door to see Lin Yuan as well.
"Chang'er, you haven't come by for a long time." Lin Jianping said with a smile, "What's the matter? Is there a lot to do at the Martial Temple?"
"Not much." Lin Yuan shook his head.
The matters of the Martial Temple were not managed by him. Even the elders would not interfere in the trivial matters of the temple.
But during cultivation, it was normal to be in seclusion for a few years occasionally.
Lin Yuan usually visited his parents after each seclusion.
"Chang'er, you work too hard. Whether it's cultivation or anything else, you should take breaks. It might yield better results." Shen Zhen said quickly.
Lin Jianping also laughed, "Yes, son. Look at us, we're already enjoying life. The affairs of the trade association are all handled by our subordinates. With you backing us, who would dare not to work diligently?"
In recent years, Lin Jianping had lived comfortably. His son had become a prominent figure in the Martial Temple, and the influential families in Xiaoyao City were eager to give him money and gifts.
"Did you eat the two fruits I sent last time?" Lin Yuan asked casually.
Those two fruits could extend life and improve constitution. They had no effect on Lin Yuan but could almost transform his low-level cultivator parents.
"I ate one and felt decades younger. Son, do you have more of those fruits?" Lin Jianping asked, interested.
"What nonsense. Such immortal fruits are treasures even in the Martial Temple. Do you want to put your son in a difficult position? Isn't one enough?" Shen Zhen immediately protested.
They still didn't know Lin Yuan's exact position in the Martial Temple, only that it was significant.
This was because the elders had deliberately hidden Lin Yuan's identity. For the Martial Temple, having an unparalleled genius was not good news for other forces.
So until Lin Yuan fully matured, his information would be sealed.
"I'm just asking."
Lin Jianping knew the value of such immortal fruits.
"If you want more, I'll bring some next time." Lin Yuan smiled slightly.
With his near Eighth Rank Invincible strength, picking a few life-extending fruits was a trivial task.
At the edge of the Xuan King Domain.
Three Martial Dao Seventh Rank experts gathered again.
"This campaign is almost over. We can finally go back." One of the Seventh Rank Martial Dao experts said.
His name was Shan Yang, born in the Spirit Realm, who fortunately joined the Martial Temple. With the temple's cultivation, he spent nearly ten thousand years to reach the Seventh Rank in Martial Dao.
Shan Yang was very grateful to the Martial Temple. With his talent, without the temple, he would have lived no more than a hundred years like ordinary people.
There was no way he could have the terrifying strength he had now, comparable to true immortals.
"This time we can have a good rest." Another Seventh Rank Martial Dao expert said with emotion.
During the campaign for the Daoist Immortal Sect, they had to fight against Dao Fusion experts frequently. Even for Seventh Rank experts, this was exhausting.
"I heard the Martial Temple accepted an unparalleled genius? When we return, we should spend some time guiding him, hoping to nurture another Seventh Rank for our Martial Dao."
Li Qing said.
As a being who ascended from the lower realm and received guidance from the legendary Martial Ancestor.
Li Qing had reached the peak of the Seventh Rank. If there was no further path, she would have attempted the ultimate Eighth Rank long ago.
"Haha, I won't forget that."
Shan Yang laughed, "When we return to the Martial Temple, I plan to take that kid to roam the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm and sense its vast aura."
"Learning from the Spirit Realm."
"A good method."
Li Qing nodded.
Although she didn't know much about the unparalleled genius of the Martial Temple, learning from the Spirit Realm was never wrong. The vast Spirit Realm had nurtured countless strong beings.
Roaming the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, even for their Seventh Rank Martial Dao experts, could sometimes bring insights.
"I just hope that kid can handle it. The aura of the Nine Heavens is not something ordinary people can endure."
Shan Yang thought again.
"If he can't handle it, take it slowly."
"Don't push him too hard."
Li Qing reminded.
"Don't worry, Li Ancestor, I know my limits."
Shan Yang said with a smile.
Once he saw that the kid couldn't bear it, he would stop immediately.
"I have prepared three Azure Sky Elixirs." Another Seventh Rank Martial Dao expert said.
His name was Nie Yun, also born in the Spirit Realm, who entered the Seventh Rank of Martial Dao two thousand years ago.
"Azure Sky Elixirs? These are foundational divine elixirs for those below the Sixth Rank. It must not have been easy to refine them." Shan Yang was slightly surprised.
"Difficult or not, they must be refined."
"For the prosperity of our Martial Dao."
Nie Yun said solemnly.
Although the Martial Dao cultivation system currently had three Seventh Rank ancestors.
Compared to the ancient sects that had been around for millions of years, it was still far behind.
For instance, the Daoist Immortal Sect could easily crush the current Martial Temple.
The Daoist Immortal Sect had dozens of Dao Fusion experts, with more than five at the peak of the Dao Fusion experts.
More importantly, the Daoist Immortal Sect's Immortal Path cultivation had the potential to advance to the Tribulation Stage.
Just this potential made the Martial Dao cultivation system weak.
"For the prosperity of our Martial Dao."
Li Qing became solemn and said each word carefully.
She vaguely remembered it was Lin Yuan who saved her in the East Sea and taught her Martial Dao.
So Li Qing had long made Lin Yuan's aspirations her own, which was to spread the Martial Dao cultivation system.
It was the same in the Immortal World.
Now in the vast Spirit Realm, Li Qing still made it her lifelong goal.
Martial Temple.
Inside the cave mansion.
Lin Yuan continued trying to absorb the orange liquid.
Boom.
Terrifying flames burned within his body, counteracting the power of rebirth generated by the 'Blood Rebirth,' and eventually, Lin Yuan's body collapsed.
Soon after.
Lin Yuan was reborn from a drop of blood and returned.
"It will still take some time to completely absorb the orange liquid."
Lin Yuan steadied himself and slowly calmed the pain from absorbing the orange liquid.
So far, his inner world had received a 5.2 times increase. Once he completely absorbed the orange liquid, it would reach a 6.66 times increase.
By then, his inner world would be nearly twenty-six million miles.
"Let's take a break first."
Lin Yuan did not immediately resume absorbing the orange liquid.
Although the mysterious gourd's liquid could continuously enhance his physical strength and inner world.
It also increasingly wore down his spirit and will. Each time Lin Yuan absorbed it, he had to rest for several hours.
"Hmm?"
"The Grand Elder is looking for me?"
"The three ancestors have returned?"
Lin Yuan suddenly received a message from the Grand Elder.
"The three Martial Dao Seventh Rank, Li Qing..." Lin Yuan recalled Li Qing's appearance.
When his Sun Primordial Spirit roamed the East Sea, he saw a village on an island being slaughtered by beasts and saved it.
Li Qing came from that village.
Later, Lin Yuan discovered Li Qing had a good aptitude for Martial Dao and took her to White Jade Island.
"Let's go have a look."
Lin Yuan got up and walked out of the cave mansion, heading towards the Martial Temple's main hall.
At this moment in the main hall.
Several elders stood respectfully.
Three figures sat in the main seats.
They were the three Seventh Rank ancestors of the Martial Temple.
They were Li Qing, Shan Yang, and Nie Yun.
"Ancestors, we have informed Lin Chang." The Grand Elder said respectfully.
"Hmm, understood."
Shan Yang nodded, "When we meet, I will take him to roam the Nine Heavens immediately."
The Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, strictly speaking, were in different spatial layers, each with incredible scenes, either manifesting external rules or revealing the essence of the world.
For lower-level cultivators, going to the Nine Heavens was a great opportunity.
However, the Nine Heavens were not easy to enter. Generally, only Dao Fusion experts could roam there.
As for bringing someone along? Whether it was a Dao Fusion expert or a Seventh Rank, taking a junior to the Nine Heavens required a significant price.
And the time was limited.
Soon.
As the three Seventh Rank ancestors waited.
Lin Yuan appeared and walked into the main hall.
"Good lad."
Shan Yang scrutinized Lin Yuan and laughed, "Ancestor will give you a great opportunity now, come roam the Nine Heavens with me."
After saying this, Shan Yang's figure disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he stood beside Lin Yuan.
Immediately.
Shan Yang grabbed Lin Yuan's shoulder, intending to soar into the Nine Heavens.
However.
The next moment.
Shan Yang's expression froze.
His right hand, which was on Lin Yuan's shoulder, trembled slightly.
He looked at Lin Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.
Why is he so heavy?
