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

"Senior Yueyou?!"

Lin Yang was completely stunned.

Even Yueyou has come to the underworld?

The vengeful spirit that was fighting with the junior brother's true form also let out a sharp shout upon seeing Yue You appear:
"You did come after all!"

Yueyou raised her eyes to look at the towering Yin spirit, then looked at him: "You've prepared everything to deal with me. If I don't come, wouldn't all your preparations have been in vain?"

"Hehehe, very good. Since you're here, then stay here too." The ghost sneered.

As he spoke, the towering ghostly body suddenly shrank, appearing before Yue You in an instant.

The spirit looked at Yueyou with a hint of surprise:
"Di Yan said he encountered an ancient being with a strong aura. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems you are truly extraordinary. You didn't undergo self-transformation or go into slumber. You can actually move around normally in the world and even dare to use your power extensively. It seems you have found another path. It's truly incredible."

At this point, the ghost fell silent, seemingly having finished speaking, but after a pause, it added:
"But your decision to cross over into this world is not wise. You might just lose your unique personality here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang raised an eyebrow, only then realizing that the vengeful spirit that had been trying to abduct him was named Di Yan.

Yueyou did not answer, but said, "It's pointless to say more. If it's just you, you can't stop me from taking the person away."

"Hahaha, you are indeed very confident, but this is the underworld!"

Suddenly, the ghost burst into laughter:
“Even though the timing isn’t quite right, and those old guys are unwilling to waste their power prematurely, if they can deal with someone like you, wasting some power early is worthwhile, so…”

He didn't finish his sentence, but a special aura gathered around him.

This aura felt like some kind of signal.

In a short while, several powerful Yin spirits emerged from the sky and intertwined, but they did not descend immediately, seemingly still in a state of revival.

"Now, do you think you still have a chance?" the ghost asked, looking at Yue Youyou.

Yueyou frowned slightly: "For my sake, you're willing to recover prematurely? That does take some guts. But I'm determined to protect you!"

As she spoke, she ignored the other party and paid no attention to the other Grand Venerable-level Yin Souls that were rapidly reviving.

Instead, he reached out to Lin Yang and said, "Give me the stage."

Lin Yang quickly handed over the stage.

With a gentle tap of her jade-like fingers, as delicate as scallions, a beam of white light burst forth from the stage, shooting straight into the heavens.

"Lin Yang, once you get back, hurry up and enter the ancient realm."

As the stage shone brightly, Yueyou's voice also reached Lin Yang's ears.

Before Lin Yang could react, he felt his body begin to traverse the boundary again.

Yueyou is sending him away from the underworld!

And it's extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was already close to crossing the boundary.

He only had time to glance at Yueyou before his vision suddenly went dark, before he could even say anything more.

Before his vision completely disappeared, he vaguely saw what appeared to be a blood-red figure on the stage.

"is her……"

Lin Yang was startled.

This blood-red figure was none other than the strange woman in a red theatrical costume that they had encountered in the Origin Void Ancient Domain.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, he would never mistake it; he could never forget that figure.

After all, being forced to learn to sing operas that had been performed on that stage for thousands of years was an unforgettable experience.

He never expected that Yueyou would use the stage to summon the woman in red costume to the underworld as well.

laugh.

The next second, light returned to his eyes.

The familiar scent of the ancient land of the Primordial Era wafted into my nostrils.

"call……"

Lin Yang couldn't help but take a long breath.

To be honest, the time I spent being abducted to the underworld wasn't actually that long.

But there's still a sense of joy in seeing the light of day again.

He glanced behind him instinctively.

His back was completely empty.

The Yiling did not come out with him.

This relieved him once again.

But the worry in his heart for Yueyou and that junior brother's true form also surfaced.

They are facing a combined attack from several powerful spirits in the underworld, and it's uncertain whether they can escape safely.

At this moment, all he could do was silently pray in his heart.

Because he really couldn't be of any help.

buzzing~
The communication jade slip was vibrating wildly.

Lin Yang took it out and looked at it.

These are the messages he accumulated during the period he suddenly disappeared.

They are all from the Temple of the Ancestor of Humanity.

Most of the messages came from Lord Yanhuo and Qingyuan, asking if he had encountered any problems and if he needed help.

On the day he was abducted to the Underworld, he received a notice from the Ancestral Temple of Humanity, ordering him to garrison Dingbian Ancient Pass. However, he disappeared en route, naturally causing great concern to the Lord of the Flamefire Palace.

Lin Yang immediately replied, informing the Lord of Yanhuo Palace and Qingyuan that he had indeed encountered some mishap, but had now returned safely and could immediately go to Dingbian Ancient Pass to provide support.

"Lin Yang, come to the Ancestral Temple to see me first. Don't rush to Dingbian Ancient Pass."

Lin Yang had just sent his reply when he received a message from the Lord of the Flamefire Palace.

Lin Yang naturally did as instructed.

Not long after.

Inside the Ancestral Hall.

The Lord of the Flamefire Palace looked at Lin Yang, whose aura was stable, and occasionally glanced at Lin Yang's back.

After glancing at it a few times, he asked with some doubt:

"You carried that thing on your back and left?"

"Yes." Lin Yang nodded.

"Is it related to your accident?" the Lord of the Flamefire Palace continued to ask.

"Mm." Lin Yang nodded again.

The Lord of the Flamefire Palace opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately sighed softly and did not press further. Instead, he said:

"It's good that everyone is alright. It's also a good thing that the thing is gone. You should rest well during this time. Things have stabilized again at Dingbian Ancient Pass for the time being."

He actually wanted to ask Lin Yang where he had been during this time and what had happened, but when he thought about the Yi Ling on Lin Yang's back, he didn't ask any more questions.

He can't afford to mess with that thing.

Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult. Now that the thing has finally left, the Lord of the Flamefire Palace felt it was better to avoid trouble and simply decided not to ask any further questions.

"Then, Palace Master, I'll head back to Xiwu City first." Lin Yang didn't directly mention that he had been abducted to the Underworld.

This matter involves too many complexities and is difficult for him to explain. Since the Lord of the Flamefire Palace did not ask, he naturally would not say more.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll let you know if anything happens." Lord Yanhuo waved his hand.

Lin Yang turned and left.

The Lord of the Flamefire Palace's eyes flashed: "Brother Yuan said he had many secrets, and now it seems that's true. However, since we are all human, we should work together. As long as we don't do anything to harm the human race, it doesn't matter if we have secrets."

……

Xiwu City.

A hidden paradise.

Lin Yang sat cross-legged.

The fact that he disappeared for thousands of years was kept secret by the Human Ancestor Hall and not disclosed to the outside world. Therefore, apart from the Lord of the Flame Fire Hall and others, no one else knew about it, so everything in Xiwu City remained as usual.

"Until reaching the Ancient Realm, one is still too weak, utterly powerless against those Great Venerable-level Yin Souls."

Lin Yang's eyes flickered.

This trip to the underworld was quite impactful for him.

In fact, with his current cultivation level at the Unfinished Realm, he could be considered a top-tier existence in any place, region, or race on the Primordial Ancient Continent.

But his enemies were too strong.

A Great Venerable-level Yin Spirit is stronger than an ordinary Ancient Realm being.

His current cultivation level is naturally insufficient. "Cultivate and strive to reach the Ancient Realm before the end of this cycle of reincarnation!"

Lin Yang didn't think too much about it.

This cycle of reincarnation will likely end in less than 200 million years.

He couldn't offer much help with the battle on the side of Yin Jie Yueyou and the others.

The only thing he can do right now is to listen to what Yueyou said when she sent him out, cultivate diligently, and strive to break through to the Ancient Realm as soon as possible.

At that time, we won't have to be passive in every situation and always need Yueyou to rescue us.

Afterwards, he adjusted his state and began to cultivate.

But soon, Lin Yang couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh".

"The realm is actually feeding back its power to me again?"

He was somewhat surprised.

[The Boundary] was unexpectedly feeding back power to him again.

Although the power of a single feedback is not much, it is only compared to the intense feedback from before.

Actually, it's not a small amount anymore.

"Jie? Are you there? Can we talk?"

Lin Yang couldn't help but ask the [Boundary] in his soul.

However, [Jie] still hasn't responded.

"Okay, if you're not going to respond, that's fine too. Thanks."

Lin Yang didn't insist.

The feedback from the [boundary] was a pleasant surprise.

He needs to seize this opportunity.

He immediately resumed his focused cultivation.

And the feedback of power from the [Realm] to him has never stopped.

It seems like it can continue indefinitely.

This surprised and delighted Lin Yang.

If this feedback from the [Realm] could continue for a few more years, he might actually be able to break through to the Ancient Realm before the end of this cycle of reincarnation.

Time flies.

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For Lin Yang, who was focused on cultivation, ten thousand years was just a moment.

For the past 100,000 years, the feedback of power from the [Realm] to him has been continuous.

His cultivation level has also improved somewhat. Although he is still far from breaking through to the Ancient Realm, the feedback from the power of the [Boundary] is indeed a great help.

Because without the feedback of the power of the [boundary], under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to feel a significant improvement in his cultivation level after cultivating for 100,000 years.

"Jie, you are such a precious treasure..."

Overjoyed, Lin Yang continued his seclusion.

Time passed slowly.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed quietly.

Lin Yang finally felt the power feedback from the [Boundary] begin to weaken, but it did not mean to stop directly; it just weakened a bit.

This weakened, subtle feedback continued for hundreds of thousands of years.

Finally, exactly one million years after Lin Yang went into seclusion to cultivate, the [Realm] completely stopped feeding him its power.

His cultivation level has also been greatly improved.

Although there is still some distance to reach the ancient realm, that distance is no longer so far.

"The feedback from the power of this world over the past million years can save me at least two to three million years."

Lin Yang did a quick estimate and was quite surprised.

[Boundary] This power feedback that has lasted for millions of years is astonishing.

Moreover, in addition to feedback on power, it can sometimes even provide feedback on things at the level of Dao principles.

"If the feedback from the realm continues for another few hundred thousand years, or even two or three hundred thousand years, I estimate that I could really break through to the Ancient Realm directly. But now that the feedback from the realm has stopped, it will be quite difficult to break through to the Ancient Realm before the end of the Reincarnation Era."

Lin Yang roughly calculated the time again, and realized that he didn't have much time left.

This cycle of reincarnation is estimated to end in a few hundred thousand years at most.

He didn't have enough time to break through before then.

Of course, although there wasn't enough time, he still had to try his best.

So he changed the direction of his subsequent cultivation.

Previously, he had been in seclusion honing his cultivation.

With limited time available, he chose to seek enlightenment at the level of the Great Dao.

Because of the improvement in cultivation level, one can also rely on some external aids, such as the previous Heavenly Creation Elixir, which greatly increased cultivation level after consumption.

However, the difficulty of comprehending the Dao level will increase for those outside this era when they enter the next cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, Lin Yang plans to focus on comprehending the Great Dao in the last few years before the end of this cycle of reincarnation.

In fact, for him, breaking through to the Ancient Realm was not a big problem in terms of realm.

His understanding of the principles of time and space is extremely profound.

Now it's simply a matter of taking advantage of the last moments of this cycle to choose one thing and deepen it to its current extreme.

He chose the path of time.

Therefore, he left the secluded cave again to travel the world.

However, this time was somewhat different from the last time I tried to comprehend the Dao of Time.

Last time, he needed to play different roles to experience the impact of time on different people and in different environments.

This time, it's not necessary.

Last time he gained insight from a micro perspective, this time he is observing from a macro perspective.

There are different ways to attain enlightenment at different stages.

He went to the Zhao family first.

The Zhao family is still thriving, but some of their old friends have passed away.

Although the Zhao family grew increasingly prosperous under his influence and possessed abundant resources.

However, most of the Zhao family members, especially some of the older generation, missed the best opportunity for cultivation, and since their talent wasn't particularly good, they eventually died of old age naturally.

Fortunately, several familiar faces, such as Zhao Yuan and Zhao Hu, are still around, though they are getting older.

Lin Yang did not meet them, but only observed them secretly.

This is also one of the ways he travels the world and tries to understand the way of time.

Last time, he used his own role to experience the passage of time; this time, he is observing other people and things more.

Then, he walked slowly from Xiwu City toward the Inner Palace.

As for the underworld, Yueyou had already contacted him shortly after he went into seclusion.

Yueyou withdrew unscathed from the underworld, but didn't reveal the specifics of the battle, only telling Lin Yang to focus on his cultivation.

This is also why Lin Yang was able to cultivate peacefully and remain in seclusion for a million years.

Otherwise, he would always be preoccupied with it and unable to focus on his cultivation.

Time flies.

More than 100,000 years have passed.

On this day, Lin Yang seemed to have a premonition.

He sensed an aura that was extremely difficult to detect in the world.

He sensed some danger from that aura.

Meanwhile, as if by prior arrangement, ancient ruins everywhere erupted once again on the same day.

"Lin Yang, Lin Yang, come to the Ancestral Temple of Humanity at once!"

Lin Yang received an urgent summons from the Lord of the Flamefire Palace.
