Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 502 Reminder, Question

Xiaodan Tower is located in a quiet valley, with gentle breeze and rustling bamboo leaves.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting tiny pieces of gold all over the ground. The mottled light and shadows add a bit of tranquility and peace to this world.

In the middle of the bamboo forest, an elegant courtyard stands quietly. On the plaque in front of its door, there are engraved three large, ancient characters with great charm - Cuiyunju. The font is vigorous and powerful, and faintly reveals a mysterious breath of the soul.

Suddenly, a streak of ice-blue light streaked across the sky, flashing over from the distant sky, and in the blink of an eye it had arrived above Cuiyunju.

The stream of light bent, swooped down from the sky, and landed steadily in front of the courtyard.

After landing, Lin Yuan straightened his clothes, walked to the front of the courtyard, looked up at the plaque that exuded a mysterious aura, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The late Heaven Realm... Haha, it won't be long before I reach this realm!" Staring at the three words 'Cuiyunju' for a moment, Lin Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and a trace of confident and sharp brilliance flashed in his deep eyes.

Unlike two years ago when he was completely unable to see through the situation, he could now measure the distance between himself and the Great Elder.

Calming his mind, Lin Yuan took a few steps forward and was about to knock on the door when he heard a creak. The door opened automatically, and an old voice came from deep in the courtyard.

"Lin Yuan, now you are here, just come in!"

"Sorry to bother you, Great Elder!" Lin Yuan clasped his fists, then took a step and walked quickly towards the direction where the voice came from.

He walked through several bluestone paths and came to a courtyard in the northwest yard.

In the center of the courtyard, an ancient tree several meters high stands proudly, with lush branches and leaves. Its green shade is like a huge canopy, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Under the ancient tree, an old man in a linen robe sat cross-legged. On the table in front of him, several volumes of ancient books were neatly placed, and the yellowed pages were gently turning in the breeze...

"Greetings, Great Elder. I'd like to ask for your assistance in something!" Lin Yuan walked quickly to the front, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.

"Sit down and talk slowly!"

Elder Lin smiled gently, raised his hand and motioned Lin Yuan to sit down.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, walked quickly to the opposite side of Elder Lin, lifted up his clothes slightly, and sat down steadily.

Then, Lin Yuan waved his sleeves and took out the tea leaves and tea sets he had prepared in advance from his ring, and began to brew tea with skillful techniques. After a while, a faint tea fragrance spread and lingered in the courtyard.

Lin Yuan heard from Xuan Kongzi that, apart from studying alchemy, Elder Lin's hobby was tasting all kinds of fine tea.

In this Douqi Continent, it seems that many older seniors have the hobby of drinking tea, such as Elder Su Qian, Xuan Kongzi, and Elder Lin!

Sure enough, when he smelled the pleasant tea aroma, Elder Lin's eyes lit up. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and savored it carefully.

"Good tea! Wow, it's snow-fall tea. Is it thousands of years old?"

A smile of aftertaste appeared on his face. The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him with interest: "The Dou Sheng Ruins in the Beast Realm have been fought over by many forces, and now it seems that you, little guy, have gained the most benefit?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan did not deny it and told him frankly: "By chance, I found a secret entrance and entered a little earlier. Luckily, I got some good opportunities."

Having lived in this world for a long time, although Lin Yuan is a time traveler, he is well aware of the complexity of this world and will not underestimate the wisdom of others.

The last time he left Danta, the time when the Beast Domain ruins were opened, the Fighting Saint's bone marrow given to the three giants of Danta, the thousands of years old tea, the great progress in his cultivation... Combining many factors together, some things are not difficult to guess.

After all, one coincidence may be a coincidence, but when many coincidences happen together, it can arouse associations.

The Fighting Saint's relics indeed made their group soar into the sky.

On the other side, Elder Lin received Lin Yuan's confirmation, and his face became more joyful. He laughed loudly and said, "Good! Very good!!"

"In just a few years, your cultivation has reached the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun... With such great progress, it seems that you have gained a lot of benefits in the Dou Sheng Ruins! Haha, compared with your talent and talent, your luck seems to be no less..."

Having said this, he stroked his beard, and a gleam of excitement and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The young man in front of me has talent, ability and luck...especially the third one. No matter how you look at it, he is a rising star of the future.

“Hehe——” After hearing what Elder Lin said, Lin Yuan just smiled lightly and said modestly: “Grand Elder, you are too kind. It’s just luck, just luck…”

"Luck is also a kind of strength!" Elder Lin waved his hand and said leisurely.

"I will not ask what you got from the Dou Sheng Ruins. But you must remember that this matter must not be exposed before you break through to Dou Sheng!"

"For some reason, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is particularly concerned about the Dou Sheng ruins in the Skeleton Mountain Range."

"It has been more than two years since the ruins were discovered, but the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan has no intention of giving up and is still vigorously investigating matters related to it. Now, as long as you can provide them with useful clues, you can get a very generous reward..."

"Given how much they value the Dou Sheng Ruins, if the fact that you entered the ruins ahead of time is leaked, they will definitely not be able to be easily dismissed like the matter of the Demon Phoenix Wings."

"At that time, it was almost foreseeable that the younger one would be beaten to the older one."

"The style of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan has always been very domineering; and the strength of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan is also quite powerful, with six Dou Sheng powerhouses."

"Although we are not afraid of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan given our Danta's strength and influence, it would definitely be troublesome and dangerous if they really targeted you."

"You need to pay attention to this when you act next time!"

At this point, his gentle voice suddenly became solemn.

Although he didn't know what Lin Yuan got from the ruins, it was the first time in the old man's long life that he had seen something that could make the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan take it to such an extent.

The old enemy Soul Palace was making some unusual moves. If Danta went against the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan at this time, it would be really troublesome. At present, Elder Lin could only remind Lin Yuan to be careful and not to expose the matter of the ruins.

Lin Yuan, who was standing by, was a little surprised after listening to Elder Lin's introduction to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

"Six Dou Sheng masters, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is so powerful? I know that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's Dou Shengs are only the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's chieftain, Huang Tian, ​​and the three great elders, Phoenix, Kunhuang, and Eagle Huang, who are known as the 'Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes'."

These people were the four Dou Shengs who had fought against the "protagonists" in the original trajectory. However, the Tian Yao Huang clan actually had six Dou Shengs. No wonder in the original trajectory, Jiu Feng dared to cooperate with Hun Yu and dared to show his teeth to Gu Xun'er and other young people of the ancient clan.

With this strength, the descendants of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan can indeed sit at the table and "play" with the younger generation of the ancient clan.

"Oh? You know quite a lot?" Elder Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then he informed: "There are two Dou Shengs left. One is the commander of the Phoenix Feather Guard, Huang Yue, a three-star Dou Sheng; the other is the inheritance elder Huang Ling, a two-star Dou Sheng."

“As for whether there are any ancient powerful beings hidden in this group of magical beasts with extremely long lifespans, I don’t know!”

"Ever since the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan went into hiding, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, which was suppressed by them and could not raise its head, has become the de facto overlord of the Warcraft for thousands of years, and its strength and power have grown rapidly."

"Lin, you have a breakthrough to the Dou Sheng level and are fully capable of protecting yourself. Try not to have a direct conflict with the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan."

Some of the solemn words inadvertently revealed a strong sense of fear.

Most of the time, the human race and the Warcraft family are like two parallel lines, getting along without interfering with each other.

For Warcraft, it takes a long time for a strong one to grow up, and it is a great loss if one is killed.

For the human race, no one can guarantee that there are no living fossil-level ancestors behind those magic beast families - the human race is more than a thousand years old, and is already an extremely ancient and powerful race; but the top-level bloodline magic beasts are more than a thousand years old, and have just reached their prime age.

The fact that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has been able to survive to this day instead of being wiped out by human forces is, to a certain extent, due to this implicit deterrent.

You know, there is never a shortage of humans who covet the supreme power of Warcraft.

After listening to Elder Lin's introduction, Lin Yuan nodded slightly. He was a little surprised at the strength of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but he did not find it strange. Instead, he felt it was unexpectedly reasonable.

A book cannot fully describe a world. When you experience it yourself, you will gradually find more details...

In fact, even if an ancestor suddenly appeared in the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, Lin Yuan probably wouldn’t find it too strange.

After all, the Tianyao Phoenix Clan had not fought a major war for thousands of years since the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan went into seclusion, so it would not be surprising if some of the ancient powerful men in the clan still survived.

Just like the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, there are many Dou Sheng powerful people in the depths of the void.

Before Zi Yan took Lin Yuan to the Beast Territory, she had already sent people to the depths of the void to find the older generation of ancient dragon clan warriors to tell them about the ancient dragons' reunification and summon them back to Dragon Island.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next time Lin Yuan returns to Dragon Island, the strength of the Ancient Dragon Clan should have been greatly improved.

With the return of enough strong people, the great formation on Dragon Island can fully exert its power and become a strong enough killer in the subsequent game with the ancient clan.

But as a price, Zi Yan must stay on Dragon Island to stabilize the hearts of the dragons.

Her father went out and never returned, which left a heavy shadow on everyone in the Ancient Dragon Clan, especially the older generation. It can even be said that the root cause of the decline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was actually the disappearance of the Dragon Emperor.

After inheriting the throne and power of the Dragon Emperor, Zi Yan now has to take on the responsibilities of the Dragon Emperor.

"Thank you for the reminder, Great Elder. I will pay attention to this matter in the future!" Lin Yuan collected his thoughts, respectfully bowed to the Great Elder, and said solemnly.

“We are one family, no need to be polite!” Elder Lin nodded slightly, as if he recalled Lin Yuan’s purpose, and asked gently: “Come to think of it, you are here to seek my help, right? Tell me, what do you need me to do for you? I will do whatever I can to help you…”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, picked up the kettle and added some good tea to the Great Elder. Then he took a deep breath and directly explained his purpose.

"I want to ask the Great Elder how to break through to the semi-saint level or even the fighting saint level?"

"I have basically completed the process of becoming a saint, but I still haven't broken through to the semi-saint realm! As an 'ordinary person' without special blood, what kind of practice should I do next to achieve the most efficient breakthrough?"

"In Danta, are we storing the realm-breaking experiences left by our predecessors, the Semi-Saints and Fighting Saints, in some way?"

After asking several questions, Lin Yuan straightened his body and looked seriously at the old man sitting opposite him.

Hearing this, Elder Lin was slightly startled. After coming to his senses, he sighed and said, "Indeed, although it is in stark contrast to your age, your cultivation has indeed reached the stage where you should consider this matter! Let me think about how to explain it to you..."

Then he put down the teacup in his hand, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was not anxious, but just waited quietly.

After reading a lot of information, he had some guesses in his mind about how to practice after the Nine Transformations, but they still needed further verification.

The Fighting Saint is the true top level of the continent, and breaking through to the Fighting Saint level is the hurdle for ordinary practitioners!

The current Douqi Continent is completely dominated by special bloodlines. More than 90% of the high-level warriors at the Dousheng level have special bloodlines, either the Doudi bloodline or the Warcraft bloodline.

It seems that people with strong enough blood and physique can naturally become saints as long as they have pure and powerful enough energy.

It felt as if they had already forged the container and could successfully break through as long as they filled it with energy.

If Xiao Yan followed the original trajectory, he could use two years to leap from the peak of the Ninth Turn to the Third Stage of Semi-Saint and directly enter the Douluo Saint. This was due to his fused bloodline and the powerful energy of his Bodhicitta.

Qinglin and Xiao Yixian, after obtaining a drop of blood essence from the Yellow Springs Demon Saint, were able to break through to the level of Fighting Saint in two years.

However, it is extremely difficult for people who do not have special bloodlines to break through to the Fighting Saint realm. It is definitely not enough to simply accumulate energy. Otherwise, many powerful people who have remained at the peak of the Nine Revolutions for decades should have broken through to the Semi-Saint realm long ago.

But the reality is that the number of people who can successfully break through from the peak of the Ninth Revolution to the Half-Saint level... is far less than 10%!
From a historical perspective, if a genius who does not have special blood wants to grow to the level of a Fighting Saint, he or she must have extremely high talent and ability. It is not enough to achieve a breakthrough by practicing hard behind closed doors. He or she often has quite rich experience.

Lin Yuan guessed that compared to people with special bloodlines and physiques who naturally have ready-made "containers", ordinary practitioners have an additional process of "casting containers".

Completing this step is extremely difficult, enough to stump more than 90% of people.

The Great Elder of Xiaodanta is one of the few Dousheng who does not have a special bloodline. He is also an alchemist like Lin Yuan. His experience is far more suitable for Lin Yuan than that of others.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's eyes focused and he looked at the old man sitting opposite him with a burning gaze.

Elder Lin stopped tapping the tabletop, looked straight at Lin Yuan, and asked softly, "Lin, do you know the fundamental difference between Dou Sheng and Dou Zun?"
