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

Inside the Ancestral Hall.

Lin Yangchong Qingyuan confessed some things.

Yes, Qingyuan was not wiped out by the cycle of reincarnation this time.

This is a happy event for Lin Yang.

Unfortunately, Qingyuan did not reach the Eternal Realm and has now lost all memories of the Samsara Tribulation.

But as long as you're alive, that's all that matters!

Qingyuan could see something unusual in Lin Yang's eyes, but he didn't understand what it was. He just felt that Lin Yang's gaze was very complicated.

After Lin Yang finished explaining, Qingyuan couldn't help but say, "Lin Yang, is something wrong? I always feel like you have something on your mind."

Lin Yang smiled and said, "No, I'm just happy to see old friends again."

"Oh?" Qingyuan was puzzled and wanted to ask something else.

Lin Yang then said, "Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, I'm going on a long trip soon, and I can't be sure when I'll be back. I'll be leaving some things to you in the Time-Space Tree and the Primordial Ancient Continent. Also, here are some of my cultivation insights, which I hope will be helpful to you. I hope that when I return, Fellow Daoist Qingyuan, your cultivation will have advanced even further."

He took out a specially made jade slip, on which were some cultivation insights that he had imprinted. He had compiled these insights as soon as he learned that Qingyuan had not been wiped out by the Tribulation of Reincarnation.

He hopes that Qingyuan can make further breakthroughs.

Now, on the ancient continent of Yuan Chu, he has very few people who can be considered his friends, and he hopes that Qingyuan can live longer.

Qingyuan was somewhat surprised, because he always felt that Lin Yang seemed to be making arrangements for his affairs after his death.

Before he could ask any more questions, Lin Yang slipped away.

In another hall of the Ancestral Temple, the Palace Master Yuan and others were all present.

Lin Yang also bid farewell to Lord Yuan and the others.

He was to go to the Origin Void Ancient Domain as Yueyou had arranged.

We don't know how long this journey will take, nor what unexpected events might occur.

As the newly appointed master of the Ancient Realm Palace, he naturally couldn't just leave quietly.

The Palace Master and the others didn't ask any further questions, but simply told him to be careful in everything he did.

After bidding farewell, Lin Yang went to the Endless Sea alone. Following Yue You's guidance, he opened the passage to the Origin Void Ancient Domain once again in a certain area of ​​the Endless Sea.

After passing through the passage, we first appeared in that cemetery space.

Lin Yang slowly walked through the various tombs and arrived at the largest tomb that had been opened when he came with Yue You last time.

The tomb had been resealed, and from the outside, there was no indication that it had been opened before.

Lin Yang stood directly in front of the tomb, then bowed deeply and said:
"Please forgive me, senior, for disturbing your peaceful rest once again. I have something to tell you."

"Now that the boundary rules are about to be broken, a powerful enemy is about to descend across time and space. The surviving elders have awakened from their self-imposed seclusion and are fighting against the great enemy."

"However, the enemy is so strong that it may be difficult to resist. Therefore, I have been ordered to come here to surpass the ancient realm in this future era and use the power of this world to suppress the enemy of the ancient times."

"However, the world has changed drastically, the Dao is unclear, the path of cultivation is blocked, and the suppression of the cycle of reincarnation makes it difficult to surpass the ancient realm. The only way is to borrow the power of the ancient times, which may give us a sliver of hope."

"This junior dares to humbly request your assistance, senior!"

After he finished speaking, he did not straighten up, but remained in a bowing posture.

These were also things Yueyou asked him to do.

Under the current rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, if one wants to make further breakthroughs after reaching the Ancient Realm, it is impossible to succeed by simply relying on one's own cultivation alone. One must obtain some special methods to have even a sliver of hope.

For example, what he meant by "borrowing the power of the past" is that he needs to borrow the power of these slumbering remnant souls.

The remnant souls here are all powerful beings from ancient times, and their own power is ancient power.

Although little remains after so many years, he has no choice but to draw some ancient power from these remnant souls, which may give him a chance to break through the threshold of the Great Venerable Realm.

Moreover, there are specific techniques and methods to leveraging external resources.

It's not as simple as just forcing it to absorb.

The most important thing is that these remnant souls need to voluntarily give him some of their own power.

Because mere power is not enough to achieve anything; what is truly needed is the ancient principles imprinted within that power.

It requires the remnant soul to voluntarily relinquish the imprint of its ancient Dao principles to him.

Otherwise, it is merely absorbing pure power, without any distinction of the power of the era.

For these remnant souls, relinquishing the power imprinted with the laws of the Dao is an enormous sacrifice.

The reason why the remnants of these souls can still exist in the world today is because of the blessing of the ancient Daoist principles, which allows them to survive.

Once it's handed over, it will truly perish completely.

They will truly perish, and there will be no trace of their existence between heaven and earth.

Fortunately, there are enough remnant souls here, so not every remnant soul needs to completely relinquish its power.

All that's needed is for each remnant soul to relinquish a tiny bit.

Little by little, it adds up to enough for him to try and make a breakthrough.

This is also why he was willing to follow Yueyou's arrangement to come here and ask for help.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't want to do it.

These remnant souls sacrificed themselves to protect humanity in their lifetimes, and he couldn't bring himself to completely let them dissipate.

Time passed little by little.

However, there has been no movement or response from the tomb for a long time.

Lin Yang was not in a hurry and maintained his respectful bowing posture.

Time stands still in the tomb.

Lin Yang didn't bother to calculate the time.

After an unknown amount of time, changes finally occurred on the tomb.

A gentle breeze swept by, and as a wisp of smoke rose, a blurry figure slowly emerged, coalescing above the tomb.

It was the same tomb owner we met last time.

After the figure appeared, it stared at Lin Yang.

After staring for a long time, the figure finally spoke:

"It's you, kid. A little guy like you wouldn't know so much. It must have been that silver-haired woman who came with you last time who taught you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang maintained his bowing posture and respectfully said, "Greetings, senior. As you say, I have indeed come to learn from you."

"Hehe, I knew it. That guy is too cunning. Last time I had a feeling that she wouldn't let us old guys rest in peace so easily, and I was right."

The figure suddenly smiled and then said:
"What did you just say? The old guys outside are already fighting a powerful enemy? It's only been a short time since you were last here, has the situation outside changed so quickly?"

Lin Yang immediately replied, "It was some Great Venerables who took advantage of the resurgence of the Samsara Tribulation, and then Senior Yue led them to a place outside the Primordial Ancient Continent to fight."

"Oh..." The figure looked at Lin Yang thoughtfully, and after a moment said, "Tell me, how did your cultivation level rise to the Ancient Realm so quickly? Is it related to this incident?"

Lin Yang immediately told Yue You about how she had asked him to go into the ancient ruins to absorb power.

The existence of the "boundary" was also mentioned.

This was instructed by Yueyou; you can tell these remnant souls about the existence of the [Boundary].

Upon hearing this, the figure chuckled again: "That guy is really bold, daring to do something like this. No wonder you got promoted."

As he spoke, the figure made a grasping motion in the air, and Lin Yang immediately felt a force surging towards his soul.

He suppressed the urge to resist, letting the force circulate in his mind.

"As expected, you're very lucky, kid. [Jie] chose you. No wonder she said you were excellent last time."

The figure seemed to approve, quickly withdrawing its power and saying softly:

"She asked you to come and lend her your strength, so it seems the situation is much more serious than expected. Also, what did you just say? That an enemy is trying to cross time and space to come? What exactly is going on?"

Lin Yang then recounted his previous experience inside the ancient ruins.

After listening, the figure remained silent for a moment, then said, "It seems things are more complicated than I thought. Someone actually wants to kill you in this lifetime. In that case, you must have a very important value."

Lin Yang didn't know how to respond, so he remained silent.

The figure didn't ask anything more, but simply sighed:

"Young man, I have a general understanding of the situation. However, it is truly difficult for you to reach the Great Venerable realm in the future. Although that person has many plans, it is not certain that he will succeed."

Lin Yang said, "Senior Yue said the same thing. If there is even a sliver of hope, I would still like to try my best."

The figure didn't say anything more, but suddenly asked, "Have you ever been married? Do you have any children?"

Lin Yang was taken aback by these words, not understanding why the other party would suddenly ask this, but he still answered honestly, "Never."

"None of them..." the figure muttered, then said, "That's good. Alone and without any ties, I can go all out."

Lin Yang was speechless.

The figure laughed and said, "Alright, kid, that person sent you here to borrow strength, so the situation is probably not optimistic. Let's not waste any more time. We can fulfill your request."

Lin Yang immediately bowed deeply again: "Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

The figure waved its hand: "We are just remnants of souls. If we can do our part for the human race, it can be considered that we are making the best use of ourselves."

As he spoke, he gestured for Lin Yang to sit cross-legged, then shouted loudly towards all the tombs:
"Old folks, even after we die, we can still contribute. Come and help the younger generation of our human race!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire tomb space trembled. Strands of indescribable aura emerged, and unique forces converged, surging into Lin Yang's body.

Magnificent and profound.

Almost instantly, Lin Yang stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you all for your help, seniors. I don't need much; this is enough."

He doesn't need much.

According to Yueyou's description, in ancient times, force served as a kind of trigger, used to pry things up.

These remnant souls don't need to give up everything.

So he continued, "This junior will certainly live up to the expectations of all the seniors. I will now go to the Origin Void Ancient Domain to cultivate. Please continue to rest in peace, seniors. I will come back to thank you all when I have succeeded!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the figure again: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will take my leave now. I hope you will forgive me for this disturbance!"

The figure nodded slightly: "Go ahead, I hope you succeed."

Lin Yang cupped his hands again, and following Yue You's example from last time, he entered the Origin Void Ancient Domain at the end of this tomb space.

After he left, the figure did not fall asleep again, but stood quietly in the same spot for a long time.

Finally, the figure raised its eyes, seemingly able to pierce through the void and look out at the outside world.

After a glance, the figure sighed softly, "When you built these tombs for us old folks back then, did you foresee this day? Heh, you really planned ahead. But this kid is too kind-hearted; that little bit of power isn't enough..."

As the figure spoke, he raised his hand and gently waved it, and his great tomb was fully opened once again.

The coffin was revealed again.

The figure opened the coffin directly, revealing the things Lin Yang had seen before.

A short sword, a jade bottle, and a jade crown that appears to be used to tie up hair.

The figure gently waved, and the jade crown that Lin Yang had been unable to lift last time was now in his hands.

The figure stared at the jade crown for a moment, then murmured, "I never thought that this remnant soul of mine would one day have to wear a crown again."

Then, the figure straightened his clothes, held the crown in both hands, solemnly tied up his somewhat disheveled hair, and put on the jade crown.

The moment the jade crown was placed on, the blurry figure seemed to become clearer and more solid, and an invisible power emanated from it, exuding a faint aura of power.

That was an aura of dominance over the world!
call!
The figure reached out again and the short sword in the coffin was in his hand.

Upon being grasped, the short sword trembled slightly and instantly transformed into a long sword.

With a swing of the longsword, the entire tomb space trembled.

"Withered bones buried in yellow sand, now I wield my sword once more. Even if I perish, I will have no regrets!"

The figure murmured softly, wielding a long sword in its hand, and a certain power within the entire tomb space began to converge towards the sword.

"Old buddies, come with me one last time to meet our old enemy!"

The figure gave a low shout, and wisps of green smoke rose from all the tombs, large and small, gathering around the sword.

"Hahaha, let's go! Our old enemy has returned. How can we let our juniors stand alone? Even if we are already dead, we can still fight one more battle!"

The figure laughed loudly, then blurred again, and entered the passage leading to the Ancient Domain of Origin Void.

……

Within the ancient domain of Yuanxu.

Lin Yang was quite familiar with the process this time.

Of course, the main reason was that Yueyou gave him a route map.

According to Yueyou's plan, after borrowing the ancient power of those remnant souls in the tomb space, he needed to go to a designated area in the Origin Void Ancient Domain to cultivate.

That designated area is deep within the Origin Void Ancient Domain.

Given his previous experience of being possessed by Yi Ling, Lin Yang had no curiosity this time and followed the route map given by Yue You strictly.

I completely ignore whatever I hear or see.

They simply kept their eyes and noses focused on their inner thoughts as they traveled.

Sometimes he could sense that something indescribable was lingering around him.

There were also some calls, similar to the one from last time, echoing in his ears.

However, he ignored them all.

In addition, due to the power imprint left on him by Yueyou, those indescribable things only lingered around him and were not able to possess him like the Yiling did last time.

He could also resist that calling voice.

As he went deeper, he increasingly sensed that something indescribable had been lingering around him for a long time and seemed to have become extremely angry.

The faint, almost imperceptible call had become considerably more mournful.

His ears began to ring, then became tinnitus, and finally started bleeding.

I also started to get injured, scratched by those indescribable things.

These things seemed to want to get close to him, but couldn't, and in their anger, they attacked him.

In the pitch-black sky, a scarlet light began to flicker, growing brighter and brighter.

"Those scarlet eyes from last time, they've appeared again!"

Lin Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

Last time, after we got the stage, those scarlet eyes appeared in mid-air.

The warmth emanating from her eyes could melt him.

The same thing happened last time, and it will happen again this time.

Yes, that's right.

Even though he is now at the Ancient Realm level, the temperature contained in those scarlet eyes felt exactly the same as last time—a temperature that could melt him.

"What kind of terrifying thing is this?"

Lin Yang was horrified. Then he waved his hand, and a small stage appeared, which instantly grew larger and blocked the gaze of the scarlet eyes behind him.

This was naturally the method Yueyou taught him.

Since Yueyou had brought him back to the Ancient Domain of Origin Void and was going to go deeper into it, she had naturally told him how to deal with it.

After using the stage to block the gaze of those scarlet eyes, Lin Yang continued to move forward at a faster pace.

The stage can't hold out for long.

He would either have to withdraw immediately, or reach his destination before those scarlet eyes shattered the stage.

But his purpose in coming here was to cultivate, so he couldn't possibly turn back. Therefore, he could only run desperately.

Flight is impossible here, let alone teleportation.

Lin Yang ran at top speed, but the crimson eyes in mid-air followed him the whole time.

Soon, half the sky was dyed crimson.

Even with the stage blocking his view, Lin Yang could feel the scorching heat burning his back.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Lin Yang was very surprised and suspicious, but he dared not increase the amount of energy injected into the stage.

The exertion of his own strength is great when he manipulates the stage.

He had to keep the stage going for as long as possible.

However, it wasn't long before Lin Yang realized that he had underestimated the monster's power.

The temperature emanating from those scarlet eyes gradually rose to a level that could penetrate the stage and directly scorch his body.

Starting from the back, it quickly spread throughout the body, as if being burned at the stake.

Even the internal organs felt like they were about to be roasted to a crisp.

Lin Yang panicked a little.

Yes, I panicked.

Although Yueyou had said that the stage could block the view of this terrifying thing.

But the current situation has clearly exceeded Yueyou's previous expectations.

The stage can provide some privacy, but only a little.

This thing is terrifying, it's just too scary.

One glance from him was enough to roast him alive.

He died before he could even achieve his goal!
A line of poetry came to Lin Yang's mind.

He hasn't even reached his destination yet, is he going to be killed by this terrifying thing first?
