A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

One hundred and twenty years later.

On this day, Lin Yang came to the Foreign Affairs Hall again, preparing to take a spaceship to Baichi City.

Many newcomers shared the same idea as him.

Lin Yang saw that there were at least thirty people here.

They exchanged smiles, understanding each other's thoughts, and without saying much, they all boarded the boat.

The senior brother Zhan Ning stood at the bow of the ship. He looked young, dressed in white, with a refined and elegant appearance.

Before long, everyone had arrived.

Zhan Ning said, "Junior brothers, I'm sure you all know the rules."

"Although there are often people clearing out the wandering serpents along the way to Blazing City, it is not 100% safe."

"This trip to Baichi City is free of charge; I have some personal business to attend to and am giving you all a ride along the way."

"Therefore, if you encounter a crisis that even I cannot overcome, you junior brothers must save your own lives and escape. Do not blame me afterwards."

Upon hearing this, everyone replied, "Senior brother, we understand."

"That's good." Zhan Ning nodded slightly, then steered the spaceship to take off, heading towards Blazing City along the fixed route.

The journey from Moonshadow Sect to Blazing City takes nearly a year by plane.

Lin Yang stood by the boat, watching the scenery flash by, waiting to arrive.

The journey there was peaceful and uneventful.

……

Incandescent City.

When the city came into view on the horizon, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

It lies like an ancient beast crouching between heaven and earth.

Extremely magnificent.

It also exudes an air of authority.

The spaceship landed outside the city.

Zhan Ning addressed the crowd, saying, "Fellow disciples, we will all return here at the same time three years from now. Please remember the time, or we will not wait for you."

Everyone noted it down and then entered the city.

Entering the city requires paying an entry fee.

However, since Lin Yang and his group were newcomers, their entry fee was waived after they showed their temporary identity tokens from the Moon Shadow Sect.

Everyone seemed to treat newcomers from within the Time Tree with great friendliness and preferential treatment.

Upon entering the city, Lin Yang immediately sensed a vast flow of Daoist energy within.

Clearly, the living environment in the city is excellent.

Of course, the cost of living is also high.

Fortunately, the Moonshadow Sect has branches around White Blaze City, which can provide temporary accommodations for disciples entering the city, so they don't have to worry about where they will stay for the next three years.

Lin Yang quickly found some shops on a bustling commercial street.

To his surprise, or rather astonishment, there was also a Star Prophecy Tower here.

However, unlike in the higher dimensions, the Star Prophecy Tower is no longer the only super trading company.

Other businesses also competed with it.

"The origin of the Star Prophecy Tower is incredible, being able to spread across various time and space. It's only natural that it exists here as well."

Lin Yang quickly figured it out.

As a merchant guild that can dominate in a high-level spacetime, it is only plausible that its existence comes from the Primordial Ancient Continent.

However, the situation on the Primordial Ancient Continent was obviously more complex, with more super beings, so the Star Prophecy Tower was no longer the only transcendent entity in the business.

As a result, some local shops are offering very competitive prices.

Lin Yang asked several shops, including the Xingchenlou branch, and found that the resources he could sell could be exchanged for a total of more than 10,000 yuan worth of sand.

This can be considered quite a minimum.

Because a single Dao Fire Pill typically costs tens of millions of yuan.

More than 10,000 yuan wasn't even enough to buy the materials needed to refine the Dao Fire Pill.

This made Lin Yang, who hadn't worried about money for a long time, feel the taste of poverty again.

"Joining the Moon Shadow Sect will provide a subsidy of 10,000 every hundred years. It would take 100,000 years to save up enough for a Dao Fire Pill solely through the subsidy."

Lin Yang shook his head; this would take too long.

Although the lifespan of those who reach the Dao level is very long, one Dao Fire Pill is not enough.

Instead, you need several to make up the difference.

Therefore, relying solely on subsidies is definitely not enough.

I need to do sect missions and find other ways to make money.

After touring around Baichi City and getting a preliminary understanding of the situation, Lin Yang made a decision.

Joining a sect early and becoming a formal disciple has many benefits.

Rong Feng wasn't lying to them; it really is difficult for independent cultivators to survive.

While not considered weak in the ordinary path of cultivation in the Primordial Ancient Continent, they were still numerous and not very competitive in any job.

We still need to find a sect to rely on.

Many cultivators on the ancient Yuan Chu Road, without the support of family power or sect, lived a very difficult life.

Those who were guided from within the Tree of Time and Space could directly join a sect because the sect that guided them had to accept them unconditionally.

This is because everyone believes that those who can cultivate to the Dao level within the Time-Space Tree generally possess better talent and potential than those who have reached the Dao level on the Primordial Ancient Continent.

Cultivators born on the Primordial Ancient Continent find it slightly easier to reach the Dao than those born within the Time-Space Tree.

Therefore, the paths within the Time-Space Tree are more popular and valued.

"Besides sects, there are also cultivators organized into families and clans on the Primordial Ancient Continent. Some of these extraordinary families are no weaker than sects, and some ancient families are even stronger than most sects."

Lin Yang also learned of this information.

In the ancient continent of the Yuan Dynasty, there were some ancient clans with profound heritage, comparable to top-tier sects.

As for the Moon Shadow Sect, it is considered a second-rate power in the surrounding area.

The Jade Universe Sect, which he missed back then, is one of the three strongest sects in the Far East Prefecture.

Within the Far East Prefecture, besides the three major sects, there is also the Zhou family, a super clan whose status is no weaker than that of the three major sects.

As for information outside of the Far East Prefecture, there is much less information within Baichi City. Some information needs to be purchased, and the price is not cheap, so Lin Yang was reluctant to spend the money.

Because the entire Far East Prefecture is so vast, it is difficult to leave the Far East Prefecture by ordinary means, so there is naturally no need to know more.

"The situation on the Primordial Ancient Continent is truly complex; for ordinary cultivators, surviving here is practically guaranteed..."

Lin Yang whispered as he left Baichi City and headed towards the Moon Shadow Sect's branch stronghold outside the city.

Having gathered enough information, he planned to join the Moonshadow Sect ahead of schedule after returning home.

……

Three years later.

Zhan Ning arrived on time, looking even more pleased than when he arrived, as if his trip had gone extremely smoothly.

The spaceship departed on time for its return journey, but there were fewer people than when it arrived, including several newcomers who were in the same batch as Lin Yang.

Zhan Ning did not wait for those people and returned directly.

Along the way, people frequently talked about what they had seen and heard in White Blaze City, and invited those who had already joined the Moon Shadow Sect to be their companions so they could do sect missions together in the future.

There is a natural sense of closeness among those who joined the sect at the same time.

Some people invited Lin Yang, and Lin Yang did not refuse.

Some sect missions are difficult to complete by an individual alone.

Now that everyone here has decided to join the Moon Shadow Sect, they will be fellow disciples when they return, and their relationship will naturally become even closer.

The following months passed peacefully.

Everyone sat down to meditate inside the spaceship.

On this day, the spaceship suddenly experienced a violent jolt.

A powerful force is bombarding the spaceship.

"The spaceship is under attack!"

Lin Yang's expression changed, and he quickly released his senses.

However, there was no dragon within the senses, but rather several cultivators dressed in black robes besieging the spaceship.

"This is……"

Everyone was shocked.

"Zhan Ning, hand over the Li Huo Hua, or die!"

A cold, resounding voice rang out from a man in black robes.

Zhan Ning stood at the bow of the ship, her face grave: "Three late-stage Dao Fire Realm cultivators, you knew I had the Li Huo Hua and ambushed me here all along? Are you from the Tiankun Sect?"

The man in black robes did not answer Zhan Ning's question, but instead attacked the spaceship again without saying a word, seemingly intending to destroy the ship and kill people!
In an instant, the spaceship's defensive capabilities began to be significantly reduced.

Zhan Ning's eyes were deep and unfathomable. She suddenly turned to look at everyone and said, "I have already asked the sect for help. I will hold them off for a while. You should take this opportunity to escape!"

After saying that, he put away his spaceship and engaged the three men in black robes in battle.

Everyone reacted instantly and flew rapidly towards the Moon Shadow Sect.

Lin Yang was caught in the middle and wasn't in a good mood.

He always felt that there was a huge danger lurking ahead.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before everyone had flown away.

Four or five more people in black robes suddenly appeared. Although they were not at the Dao Fire Realm, each of them had at least the eighth or ninth level of the Dao Realm. Without saying a word, they charged at the crowd.

Although Lin Yang and his group consisted of nearly thirty people, they had all just broken through to the Dao Realm and were at most at the first or second level of cultivation.

Although they outnumbered their opponents, their combat strength was significantly weaker when facing those at the eighth or ninth level of the Dao.

Two people were quickly killed in the first wave of attacks.

"It's over. They must be from the Tiankun Sect, otherwise they wouldn't have come just to kill people."

Someone whispered in despair.

In this region, only the Tiankun Sect and the Yueying Sect are mortal enemies. And only the people of the Tiankun Sect would launch such an attack on the people of the Yueying Sect.

Money is secondary; the foundation of the Zhan Yue Ying Sect's disciples is paramount!

"Senior Brother Zhan Ning has already called for reinforcements. Everyone, split up and escape for your lives. Hold on!"

Someone shouted, trying to scatter the crowd and give them a better chance of survival.

After all, those who have cultivated all the way to the Dao within the Time-Space Tree are all seasoned veterans.

Although weaker than their opponents and unable to fight them head-on, everyone reacted quickly and used their own survival techniques to escape.

Without hesitation, Lin Yang took advantage of the chaos to immediately conceal his presence and quietly retreated in a chosen direction.

Behind him, several more people were killed in a short span of time.

This scene sent chills down one's spine.

He had endured arduous cultivation within the Tree of Time and Space until now, only to perish in the wilderness upon arriving at the Primordial Ancient Continent.

This resonated with many people.

Lin Yang did not linger, concealing his presence as he carefully fled.

Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one who chose this path.

Several other people also chose to flee in the same direction as him, which attracted the attention of a man in black robes who came after them and seemed to be locking onto them.

Even though Lin Yang was fast enough to hide, he still sensed that the black-robed man behind him had locked onto him.

Fortunately, there were several other people in the same direction. The man in black robes did not attack him first, but a wisp of his senses remained with him, making it difficult for him to shake him off completely.

Meanwhile, the men behind him were caught up by the men in black robes and could not escape.

Two more people were soon killed, leaving three to continue the fight.

These three individuals appeared to be quite strong, and for a time they managed to hold off the man in black robes for a while.

However, overall they are still at a disadvantage.

Defeat is only a matter of time.

Seeing this, Lin Yang's eyes flickered uncertainly.

If these last three are killed, and the man in black robes catches up, he might not be able to defeat a guy at the eighth or ninth level of the Dao realm in a one-on-one fight.

However, if these three were to join forces, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"I have a Venerable-level Dao Weapon and various other methods. If I have the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, I should be able to injure that man in black robes with all my might."

He could certainly take advantage of the moment when the man in black was held back to continue his escape.

But this is not a guarantee.

The other party seems to have a unique tracking method to lock onto him.

If you can counter-attack or inflict damage, preventing the opponent from continuing to track you down, you'll be much safer.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yang slowed down and simultaneously transmitted his voice to the three men: "The three of you, I am confident that I can hurt him, but I need an opportunity. I need you to help me create this opportunity."

Upon hearing his telepathic message, the three men immediately perked up and then politely replied:

"Brother Lin Yang, is that you? Are you nearby? If you are confident you can injure him, the three of us will risk our lives to create this opportunity for you."

They all recognized Lin Yang's voice.

We had all gotten to know each other quite well on the spaceship.

Lin Yang also knew these three people.

The guy in the purple and red robe was named Li Liping, the tall and thin guy was named Xin Hao, and the last one was named Shi Jie.

They didn't notice Lin Yang when they fled, but they didn't expect that Lin Yang was also in this direction and intended to lend them a hand.

Time was of the essence, so Lin Yang didn't say much, only quickly stating, "I'm more than 80% confident!"

"Eighty percent!"

Upon hearing this probability, the three exchanged glances and then, in perfect unison, burned their Dao power, seemingly prepared to perish together with the man in black robes.

Seeing this, the man in black robes seemed somewhat wary, or perhaps he didn't want to get hurt, and made a gesture of avoidance.

Lin Yang seized the opportunity, hiding in the void, and summoned the Venerable-level Dao Weapon Silver Dragon Spear, thrusting out with a single spear thrust.

At the same time, three flowers from the outer realm condensed and enveloped the man in black robes.

To be on the safe side, Lin Yang also secretly used a trace of the power of the "boundary" to amplify the power of the Boundary Flower and the Silver Dragon Spear.

He had already tested it before; as long as the power he used wasn't too obvious, Elder Yuan Mu wouldn't be able to detect the existence of the "boundary."

None of those present are at the Dao Fire Realm, so if he were to use even a trace of the power of the "realm," he would be even less likely to be detected.

laugh.

The next instant, even though the man in black robes sensed something, he was still injured by the power of the Silver Dragon Spear and the three World Flowers.

The power of the Flower in the Realm is already terrifying, and with the amplification of the power of the "Realm," the power it unleashes is even more astonishing.

The Silver Dragon Spear is a supreme-level Dao weapon, and its power is extraordinary.

Lin Yang acted extremely quickly, and with Shi Jie and the other two restraining him, the man in black robes was unable to dodge in time and suffered a serious injury.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the man in black robes was indeed injured, Shi Jie and the other two's eyes lit up, and they burned even more of their Dao power.

The saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot!"
Seeing that Lin Yang could actually hurt this guy, the three of them also unleashed their strongest attacks, attempting to kill the black-robed man, but they failed.

It only made the man in the black robe even more injured.

"Stop fighting, let's go!"

Seeing this, Lin Yang sheathed his Silver Dragon Spear and let out a low shout.

He simultaneously condensed three flowers from the realm, almost exhausting his own Dao power, leaving him with no strength to seize the opportunity to kill the black-robed man.

Even if Shi Jie and his two companions burned their Dao power, they still had no chance to kill their opponent.

The man in black robes was at the ninth level of Dao cultivation, already at the level where he could ignite the Dao Flame.

With their preparations in place, even if they were injured, they were not someone that Shi Jie and his two companions, who had just broken through to the Dao Realm, could kill in a short time.

Of course, it's not that there's no chance at all.

With Lin Yang added, there's a great chance of another attack.

But the problem now is that there's more than just this one person in black robes here.

If the other four people notice what's happening here and move towards this place, then they will have even less chance of survival.

Therefore, after injuring the black-robed man in front of them and temporarily disabling his ability to pursue, the wisest course of action is not to continue wasting strength and time killing him, but to escape first.

After Lin Yang finished speaking, he disappeared again and fled the scene.

This time, he no longer felt that faint tracking sensation.

Lin Yang breathed a brief sigh of relief only after he was completely away from the situation.

Behind him, Shi Jie and the other two were also hiding.

However, their concealment skills were slightly inferior to Lin Yang's, and Lin Yang could still sense them.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang spoke again:

"It would be difficult for us to return to the Moon Shadow Sect on our own. In our current state, it would be fatal if we encountered any wandering serpents. We would still need the sect to send someone to rescue us."

“The three of you are not very good at hiding, so it would be difficult to completely avoid being tracked. Why don’t we find a secluded place to stay temporarily? I will hide for you and wait for the sect to come to our aid.”

He had considered leaving, but the battle just now had shown that it was best to have more comrades-in-arms for now.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, there is strength in numbers.

At least these three guys can create some crucial opportunities for him to make a move.

Therefore, Lin Yang plans to bring them along for the time being.

His own methods of concealment are almost impossible to detect by those of the same level.

Even if other men in black robes catch up, they can evade them.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jie and the other two immediately showed joy.

Because they themselves knew that their concealment abilities were mediocre, and with their injured bodies after burning their Dao power, they had virtually no hope of surviving in the wild.

The fact that they couldn't detect Lin Yang's location was enough to show that Lin Yang's concealment skills were far superior to theirs.

Now that Lin Yang is willing to protect them, that's naturally the best thing.

Immediately, the three of them thanked Lin Yang in unison, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Lin Yang!"

Lin Yang waved his hand, chose a suitable spot, and told Shi Jie and the other two to hide there first.

He then cleaned up the traces left by the three behind him, and then sneaked over to envelop them with his own stealth power, hiding in place.

Not long after they went into hiding, two figures in black robes suddenly flashed by.

This startled Shi Jie and his two companions.

Lin Yang remained calm. As long as the three late-stage Dao Fire Realm guys who had fought Zhan Ning didn't come after him, the other black-robed men at the eighth or ninth level of the Dao Realm would have no chance of seeing through his concealment.

The same is true.

The two men in black robes who had been chasing after them checked the area but couldn't find Lin Yang and his three companions who were hiding.

The two men seemed to be worried about something, so they quickly followed the trail and then left.

"They were probably afraid of reinforcements from the Moon Shadow Sect, so they didn't check very carefully," Lin Yang thought to himself.

this is a good news.

Shi Jie and the other two were completely relieved.

"Brother Lin Yang, your concealment skills are truly impressive."

The three of them spoke from the bottom of their hearts, and were also somewhat relieved:
"Fortunately, Brother Lin Yang reminded me not to try to kill that guy, otherwise if we had wasted any more time, we would have been tracked down by those two black-robed guys."

Lin Yang sighed, "I don't know what the situation is like with Senior Brother Zhan Ning and the others, but I guess it's not good."

The fact that two men in black robes came after them meant that the people they were originally chasing had probably all been killed, which was why they were now chasing after them instead.

Upon hearing this, Shi Jie and the other two fell silent, their moods heavy.

After all, they were all outstanding individuals in their respective timelines, but upon arriving in the Primordial Ancient Continent, they almost all died due to an accident.

It's impossible not to feel heavy-hearted.

Lin Yang sighed again and continued to hide, waiting for rescue.

And this wait lasted for several days.

A few days later, their communication jade slips simultaneously trembled.

This is news from the Moonshadow Sect. (End of Chapter)
