The Seventh Heaven was filled with 'wonders' as a figure descended.
"Finally I'm here" Lin Yuan smiled as he looked at an Immortal King sitting cross-legged in the distance. This Immortal King sat quietly, and the surrounding void was affected by an invisible force, making it extremely stable so that even ordinary people could survive there.
It's important to know that even in the First Heaven, one would need at least True Immortal-level strength to enter.
Life forms below the True Immortal level who recklessly tried to ascend without the protection of a True Immortal would be unable to withstand the pressure between the heavens.
This is true for the First Heaven.
Not to mention the Seventh Heaven.
Normally, only supreme Immortal Kings could reside in the Seventh Heaven.
"Great Immortal King." Lin Yuan carefully observed the Immortal King, "One of the most famous Immortal Kings in the Three Thousand Dao States."
The Great Immortal King was a Supreme Immortal King, and one of the Dao States among the Three Thousand Dao States was named after him, the Taishang Dao State, which was the place of his legacy.
Lin Yuan had once had the people of the Martial Temple collect many Immortal Dao techniques, including the 'Taishang Yuqing Immortal Canon', which was created and deliberately spread by the Great Immortal King.
"In terms of killing power, the Great Immortal King is not as strong as the Opening Heaven Immortal King, but in overall strength, they should be on the same level," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
There are also strong and weak among the supreme Immortal Kings; some who master complete powers of creation are inherently stronger than others, and some even master multiple complete powers of creation.
Compared to the invincible eighth-rank entities of the main world who have lifespan limitations, the supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm almost coexist with it and have plenty of time to comprehend various powers of creation.
"Martial Ancestor," the Great Immortal King opened his eyes, looked at Lin Yuan, and greeted him with a smile.
In the past three hundred years, although Lin Yuan had never made an official move, all supreme Immortal Kings sensed the depth of Lin Yuan's strength.
Therefore, whether it was the Opening Heaven Immortal King, the Great Immortal King, or other supreme Immortal Kings, they were all willing to befriend Lin Yuan.
Over the years, Lin Yuan had made many friends among the supreme Immortal Kings. Those who could reside in the Seventh Heaven were all supreme Immortal Kings, and Lin Yuan would approach and communicate with each one he met.
He would try to trade for the powers of creation they mastered.
"Are you ready?" Lin Yuan looked at the Great Immortal King and said.
"I am ready," the Great Immortal King's expression turned solemn, and he said seriously, "Those old guys from the prehistoric era have occupied the Eighth Heaven for too long. It's about time they made room."
For an ordinary Tribulation Immortal King like the old man in the purple robe, it was difficult to come into contact with matters related to the prehistoric era.
But for the supreme Immortal Kings, the prehistoric era was not a secret.
Since the end of the prehistoric era and the beginning of the Three Thousand Dao States Era, those supreme Immortal Kings who survived from the prehistoric era had occupied the Eighth Heaven.
And they prohibited the supreme Immortal Kings born in the Three Thousand Dao States Era from ascending.
So, for millions of years, the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King had been trying to attack the Eighth Heaven.
To explore the Ninth Heaven.
Whether it was the prehistoric era or the Three Thousand Dao States Era, all supreme Immortal Kings were aware of one thing.
That the Ninth Heaven held great secrets.
There are always stronger beings and greater heavens, and beyond the Nine Heavens, there are Celestial Beings.
This saying was not just a rumor.
The 'Celestial Beings' mentioned were rumored to possibly be beings beyond the level of Immortal Kings.
The end of the prehistoric era was also related to the Ninth Heaven.
All supreme Immortal Kings had an immense desire for the Ninth Heaven.
However, the Eighth Heaven, which led to the Ninth Heaven, was occupied by the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era, and those born in the Three Thousand Dao States Era could not just watch this happen.
Thus, every few hundred thousand years, the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King would try to attack the Eighth Heaven.
And the 'preparation' Lin Yuan mentioned earlier was the preparation for these supreme Immortal Kings to attack the Eighth Heaven once again.
Of course, so far, it was still the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era who held the upper hand. The plans of the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King to attack the Eighth Heaven had all failed.
"The prehistoric era..."
Lin Yuan squinted slightly. The reason he joined the supreme Immortal Kings like the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King was not just for the Ninth Heaven.
It was more about the powers of creation mastered by the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.
In the past three hundred years, Lin Yuan had almost collected strands of the powers of creation mastered by all the supreme Immortal Kings of the current era.
But he had not had much contact with the supreme Immortal Kings of the prehistoric era.
After leaving the Great Immortal King, Lin Yuan returned to his 'residence' in the Seventh Heaven.
"In these three hundred years, I have made great progress," Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, especially in the comprehension of cosmic power, with the powers of creation from various supreme Immortal Kings for reference.
In just three hundred years, Lin Yuan had comprehended more than thirty kinds of cosmic power.
Among them, four could be considered higher cosmic powers.
The Power of Opening Heaven, the Power of Destruction, the Power of Immeasurability, and the Power of Balance.
As for ordinary cosmic powers, there were nearly thirty, including innate purple energy, infinite cutting, the domain of waves, supreme thunder, and so on.
Of course, Lin Yuan had only initially comprehended these cosmic powers and had not delved deeply into them.
According to the classification of the supreme Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm, each power of creation can be divided into three levels: First Realm, Second Realm, and Third Realm.
Lin Yuan had only comprehended them to the First Realm before stopping and moving on to comprehend new powers of creation.
This was also the most efficient method, to first comprehend these powers of creation, bring them back to the main world, and let them transform into cosmic powers.
Although he could return to this world at any time with the world coordinates of the Spirit Realm, it required paying ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power, so he had to be cautious.
"In fact, ordinary powers of creation are just parts of higher powers of creation," Lin Yuan thought thoughtfully.
Although he had comprehended dozens of powers of creation, they were all at the First Realm, but they involved four higher powers of creation.
Take the Power of Immeasurability as an example; it includes many ordinary powers of creation, such as innate purple energy and the domain of waves.
Infinite cutting is also a facet of the higher power of creation, the Power of Opening Heaven.
"Unfortunately, not all supreme Immortal Kings master higher powers of creation. Ordinary powers of creation, if cultivated to the Third Realm, are also close to the Second Realm of higher powers of creation."
Lin Yuan thought silently. Most Supreme Immortal Kings, mastering several ordinary powers of creation to the Third Realm, are not much weaker in combat power than the Opening Heaven Immortal King.
Mainly because cultivating higher powers of creation to the Third Realm is too difficult, even the Opening Heaven Immortal King and the Great Immortal King stop at the Second Realm.
"The dozens of powers of creation I have mastered, even if they are all at the First Realm, when combined, should not be much weaker than the Third Realm of a higher power of creation"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
If he were to only comprehend one or two higher powers of creation, with his Unrivaled Insight, he might be able to cultivate them to the Third Realm within three hundred years.
But that wouldn't meet Lin Yuan's expectations. The powers of creation in the Spirit Realm, once brought to the main world, would transform into cosmic powers, so quantity was more important than quality.
Quality could be improved after returning to the main world, but if the quantity was not satisfactory, he would have to pay ten strands of Breaking Boundary Source Power to return to the Spirit Realm.
Comprehending dozens of powers of creation was just part of Lin Yuan's achievements in three hundred years of cultivation.
Lin Yuan also made significant progress in perfecting the eighth rank of martial arts, having moved past the third stage and entered the fourth stage.
In Lin Yuan's conception, the eighth rank is divided into four stages, and reaching the fourth stage is almost the final step.
This is similar to the eighth rank of many evolutionary paths in the main world, which is also divided into four stages.
As for the invincible eighth rank, which is above the eighth rank, it is essentially in the fourth stage but has mastered a certain cosmic power, making it an unreplicable case.
"Unfortunately, the main world has significant restrictions on cosmic power. My power of Tai Chi is a cosmic power, and future martial arts practitioners, even if they follow my path step by step, cannot transform it into this cosmic power again."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Of course, if the power of Tai Chi doesn't work, one can try other powers.
For example, the power of the Five Elements, where the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth generate and restrain each other.
Once these five basic rules are comprehended and fused, it would likely become another cosmic power.
Martial arts encompass all paths, theoretically having the potential to give birth to many cosmic powers.
"And the spatial rule model."
There was a faint spatial fluctuation in Lin Yuan's eyes.
In three hundred years, Lin Yuan had comprehended 4,600 core spatial models. Excluding the 3,000 he had comprehended three hundred years ago, he had comprehended over 1,600 in these three hundred years.
It should be known that the more core spatial models one comprehends, the harder it becomes to comprehend more. Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan still managed to comprehend more than 1,600, which was incredible.
"With 4,600 core spatial models, using the eighth-rank Evolvers of the main world as a template, the size of the internal world should be about 6.8 million miles in diameter."
The more spatial models one comprehends, the larger the internal world. Theoretically, if an eighth-rank Evolver comprehends 7,782 core spatial models, the size of their internal world would reach ten million miles in diameter.
"But that's the size of a normal eighth-rank Evolver's internal world. My internal world..." A hint of peculiarity appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
With the mysterious gourd's support, Lin Yuan's internal world had reached nearly 70 million miles in diameter.
Such a vast internal world was far beyond the reach of human eighth-rank Evolvers and even the peak bloodlines of special life forms like the Star Sea Kun.
Theoretically, the upper limit for the Star Sea Kun's internal world is 50 million miles in diameter, which is why the Star Sea Kun is considered a peak bloodline, with its species limit being five times that of humans.
But now, Lin Yuan's internal world far exceeded the Star Sea Kun's upper limit, which was simply unbelievable.
The key point is that a 70 million-mile diameter internal world is still far from Lin Yuan's limit.
"The gourd."
The fact that Lin Yuan's internal world size exceeds that of the same level of eighth-rank Evolvers by ten times is naturally due to his absorption of the mysterious liquid from the gourd, which has now reached the fourth type.
Among the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet liquids, Lin Yuan had started absorbing the green liquid.
The mysterious gourd had also transformed into a gray-green color.
"The difficulty of absorbing the green liquid is far greater than the previous three types. Twenty years ago, I started absorbing this liquid, but so far, the increase in my internal world and body is less than double."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He could foresee that the absorption would slow down even more in the future, especially with the last three types of liquid—blue, indigo, and violet. Lin Yuan even suspected they might not be intended for eighth-rank beings.
"No matter what, I have already gained immensely. An internal world ten times larger out of nowhere would even astonish the Strongest one, right?"
Lin Yuan didn't know if the Strongest one could achieve this, but at least with his multiple identities as a seventh-level citizen, star lord, and founder of the martial arts evolutionary path, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Now, the strength of my Tai Chi primordial spirit is far weaker than my true body."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Without the mysterious gourd, the strength of the Tai Chi primordial spirit and the true body would not differ much.
The true body, mastering the power of Tai Chi, the power of Opening Heaven, and other cosmic powers, could also be mastered by the Tai Chi primordial spirit.
In fact, due to being a soul energy body, the Tai Chi primordial spirit might be even more troublesome.
But now.
Due to the difference in the internal world.
The internal world developed by the Tai Chi primordial spirit was only 6.8 million miles in diameter.
While the internal world developed by the true body had reached 70 million miles in diameter.
With a tenfold difference, the true body and the primordial spirit were not on the same level.
Three Thousand Dao States.
Xuan King Domain.
Martial Temple.
In the three hundred years of development, the Martial Temple had become a giant entity in the Dongyun Dao State.
Its influence extended beyond the Dongyun Dao State, spreading to dozens and even hundreds of nearby Dao States.
The influence of the martial arts cultivation system, while perhaps not as great as the Immortal Dao in the entire Three Thousand Dao States, was unparalleled in the Dongyun Dao State and the surrounding Dao States.
Even the Immortal Dao could not suppress the martial arts in the slightest.
The reason is that Martial Ancestor personally resided in the Martial Temple.
In three hundred years, Martial Ancestor had appeared several times to give lectures, explaining the essence of martial arts to countless talents, leading many to the path of martial arts.
In the cave mansion.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Now, the martial arts..." Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes. After three hundred years of promoting martial arts, the martial arts cultivation system had become the strongest cultivation system below the Immortal Dao, without a doubt.
Mainly because, in the past three hundred years, some Tribulation Immortal Kings who wanted to visit Lin Yuan had, like the old man in the purple robe, sensed part of Lin Yuan's strength and then ordered their disciples and juniors not to be enemies of the Martial Temple.
Over time, the influence of martial arts grew stronger.
It can be predicted that, with the passage of time, martial arts might indeed reach the heights of the Immortal Dao.
The only thing Lin Yuan was not satisfied with was that, so far, martial arts had not produced a single eighth-rank powerhouse.
Several lectures had only resulted in a large number of fifth and sixth-rank martial artists.
But an eighth-rank martial artist, equivalent to a Tribulation Immortal King, had yet to be born.
