Cangling Immortal Clan

"You don't need to be nervous."

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits smiled and then said, "Speaking of which, the last champion of the Hundred Races Conference was also from our human race. Your situation should be much better than his."

Ye Linyuan was slightly taken aback, but quickly guessed what it was, and asked, "Was the champion of the last Hundred Clans Conference Senior Haotian Realm Lord?"

"Hmm." The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines nodded and sighed, "His physical body was not strong enough, so he participated in the Hundred Clans Conference in order to obtain a supreme treasure that could transform his physical body."

"It's a pity that his physical body is too strong. Even if he successfully won first place in the Hundred Clans Tournament and obtained the Ten-Patterned Profound Heaven Treasure 'Primordial Ancient Jade', he was not confident in cultivating to the Integration Realm."

"Later, he returned to the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, hoping to increase his chances of breaking through to the Integration Realm by relying on the blessing of the Realm Lord's Mandate. However, this also brought boundless calamity to the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan finally understood the cause and effect of Garuda Demon Emperor's attack on the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

However, he did not resent the Lord of Haotian Realm, because even he would have done the same thing from the Lord of Haotian Realm's perspective.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, it was Garuda Demon Emperor who ultimately made the move, and the Lord of Haotian Realm did indeed fight to the very end for the sake of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

Shaking off that thought, Ye Linyuan looked at the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines and asked, "I wonder what level of treasure is the highest reward of this Hundred Clans Conference?"

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits' eyes flickered slightly, and then he said calmly, "Those ranked in the top thirty have the opportunity to break through to the half-step Integration Realm."

"Those ranked in the top ten will have a complete opportunity to break through to the next level, or they can choose from valuable treasures."

"As for the third and second place winners, they can choose one ten-patterned Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure, which is limited to those nurtured by spiritual plants."

Ye Linyuan's heart stirred slightly, knowing that the Xuan Tian treasures nurtured by these Xuan Tian spiritual plants were probably mostly cultivated by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines.

However, compared to this treasure, he was more curious about the number one ranked treasure, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's number one?"

"You may choose three Xuan Tian Treasures," the Ancestor of Myriad Medicines said, then added meaningfully, "One of them is a Xuan Tian Rare Treasure that is not nurtured by a spiritual plant."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan's heart skipped a beat.

For the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines, while the artificially cultivated Ten-Patterned Mysterious Heavenly Treasure is precious, it is not impossible to achieve; it simply requires paying a certain price.

However, the ten-patterned Xuan Tian treasures that are not nurtured by spiritual plants are all supreme treasures among the few in the universe, and almost every one of them is unique in the entire universe.

Among these treasures, there may be the sixth item for refining spirits that is most suitable for Ye Linyuan.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan immediately said, "In that case, I will try to win first place."

"The Hundred Races Assembly is filled with powerful figures. All participants are elites from various races, including an invincible holy son at the tenth level of the Void Refinement Realm."

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines shook his head and said, "Although you have the blessing of the Spirit Refining Technique, your cultivation time is still short, and you cannot master the perfect laws. It will not be easy for you to win first place."

"This time, all you need to do is secure a spot in the top ten and bring back some resources for our human race."

Ye Linyuan nodded, without offering any further explanation.

After thanking him repeatedly, he left the main hall with the resources and went to find Huang, a seventh-level weapon refiner, to ask for his help in advancing his Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower.

Huang's weapon-refining skills are extremely high. He has refined more than one nine-patterned Xuan Tian spiritual treasure. Advancing to the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower is naturally a piece of cake for him.

Just over a decade later, the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower was upgraded to a superior-grade Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, its power reaching a level comparable to a quasi-creator immortal weapon.

After successfully advancing to the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower, Huang said with great emotion, "Your set of treasures has boundless potential. If one day it can be upgraded to a Creation Immortal Weapon, it will surely be one of the strongest Creation Immortal Weapons in all the heavens."

"Unfortunately, it is more difficult for this thing to advance to the next level than to ascend to heaven."

"This is all thanks to your help, senior."

Ye Linyuan bowed and thanked him, his tone polite.

Na Huang shook his head and then said, "At this point, this treasure has reached its limit. Its quality can at most be promoted to the level of a seven-patterned Xuan Tian spiritual treasure."

"To further advance into a supreme treasure of the realm, it would be necessary to collect three thousand eight-patterned Xuan Tian rare treasures, which is almost impossible."

"Unless one day you can demonstrate combat power comparable to the combined form, the two Dao Ancestors will not be able to mobilize the entire human race's resources to trade for enough Xuan Tian treasures for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly.
The Eight-Patterned Mysterious Heavenly Treasure is extremely precious. Even in the entire Eternal Heaven Realm, there are probably not many such treasures. Some Void Refinement races may not even have one.

Even though the human race is the most profound among the hundred races, it would still cost them a great deal to gather three thousand portions.

Of course, if Ye Linyuan could possess combat power comparable to a fusion master, then the human race might not be unable to pay such a price.

After all, combat power comparable to that of a fully integrated being is the foundation of a true overlord-level race, rather than a human nuclear bomb like a half-step integrated being that cannot be used easily.

Once Ye Linyuan takes that step, even if he can't reach the Fusion stage, he will become a unique kind of human talent.

Ye Linyuan even suspected that this might be the highest expectation that the two Dao Ancestors of the human race had for him.

The other party sent Ye Linyuan to participate in this Hundred Clans Conference, probably because they thought it was unlikely that Ye Linyuan would break through to the Integration Stage.

Therefore, in the eyes of the two Dao Ancestors, it would be good if Ye Linyuan became an alternative fusion, at least he could be considered a normalized fusion combatant.

After all, although a half-step fusion cultivator has combat power close to that of a fusion cultivator, that is a reserve that is only used in wars of annihilation. No race is willing to risk its half-step fusion cultivators in ordinary times.

Of course, this is also a good thing for Ye Linyuan.

Everyone believed that he would not be able to break through to the Integration Dao Ancestor level, which meant that he was at least safe before breaking through.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely take that step."

"With your extraordinary spirit refining technique, your chances of taking that step are indeed quite high."

Huang nodded without saying much. He took out an ancient book and handed it to Ye Linyuan, saying, "This is my weapon-refining inheritance. Although it is not as extensive as the seventh-order weapon-refining inheritance in the treasure vault."

"But at the Xuan Tian level, this scroll has already reached its peak, and it will be useful for you to nurture this treasure. I see that your skill in weapon crafting is also quite remarkable. I hope you can make good use of it."

"Xuan Yuan will certainly live up to your expectations, senior."

Ye Linyuan accepted the scroll of weapon crafting inheritance, thanked him, and then got up to leave.

Upon returning to the cave world, Ye Linyuan examined Qi Huang's inheritance and immediately discovered its ingenuity.

This weapon-refining inheritance is called the "Radiant Heaven Weapon Codex". Although it has only reached the sixth-order ultimate level, it records three ultimate Xuan Tian divine abilities and an incomparably powerful creation divine ability.

All three greatly enhance weapon crafting, with the Creation Divine Power being particularly astonishing; even a Dao Ancestor at the Integration Stage would likely be amazed by it.

"This Senior Huang seems to be no ordinary half-step Fusion cultivator."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, a look of surprise creeping across his face.

The three types of Xuan Tian ultimate divine abilities and the creation divine ability are all weapon-refining divine abilities. Huang will definitely master more Xuan Tian divine abilities and creation divine abilities on this basis.

After all, the weapon-refining technique doesn't significantly boost combat power, and it's impossible for someone who has cultivated to this level not to master the protective technique.

Therefore, according to Ye Linyuan's estimation, the opponent had mastered at least nine Xuan Tian ultimate divine abilities, plus three creation divine abilities.

This is already incredibly terrifying, considering that most half-step Nascent Soul cultivators only have one ultimate creation technique.

In the early stages of a normal fusion, one can only master two or three creation-related divine powers.

This shows that Huang is by no means an ordinary half-step fusion master, but may even be a powerful or top-tier half-step fusion master.

After all, there are definitely differences in strength among half-step Fusion Realm experts. An ordinary half-step Fusion Realm expert who advances with seven or eight laws cannot compare with a half-step Fusion Realm expert who advances with nine or ten laws.

"Senior Huang is already considered a seventh-level weapon refiner, but unfortunately his cultivation is insufficient to unleash the full power of the Creation Divine Ability."

Ye Linyuan murmured, "Whether it's the Creation Divine Power or the embryonic form of the Great Dao, their power is far too great. With a body that's only half a step into the Integration Realm, if one wants to unleash the full power of the embryonic form of the Great Dao, the body will suffer a huge backlash."

At that time, they either died from their bodies exploding or were left with extremely terrifying injuries to the Great Dao, injuries that were almost impossible to repair.

If a half-step Integration Realm cultivator wants to unleash their full power, a weak body will explode and die after a single battle, while a strong one can only sustain three to five full-power attacks.

Of course, Huang's strength was so great that Ye Linyuan paid more and more attention to the Huangtian Artifact Scripture.

After careful observation, Ye Linyuan finally understood that Huang's words were true; the Huangtian Artifact was indeed extraordinary.

Although the Dao Ancestor-level weapon-refining inheritance in the Human Race Temple is more powerful, it is far inferior in terms of refining and nurturing Xuan Tian spiritual treasures.

Because the Huangtian Artifact Codex contains methods for refining and upgrading ten-patterned Xuantian treasures using Xuantian-level techniques.

In comparison, although the Dao Ancestor-level weapon-refining inheritance can also refine ten-patterned Xuan Tian Supreme Treasures, it requires a cultivation level of Integration to perform.

"With this, I will be able to further upgrade the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower in the future."

Even if we can't completely upgrade the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower to a Xuan Treasure by then, upgrading some of its Mysterious Heavenly Treasures and core components shouldn't be a problem.

Ye Linyuan muttered to himself, then temporarily put the matter aside and began to try to cultivate again using the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower.

After being upgraded to a superior Xuan Tian spiritual treasure, the power and effects of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower increased several times over, which also increased Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed several times over.

This treasure is almost equivalent to a quasi-creator immortal weapon. It continuously absorbs the primordial energy of heaven and earth and transforms it into spiritual energy for Ye Linyuan to absorb, which also allows Ye Linyuan's cultivation to begin to advance by leaps and bounds.

Just a thousand years later, Ye Linyuan's cultivation reached the sixth level of the Void Refinement Realm, and then broke through to the seventh level.

After reaching the seventh level of Void Refinement, if the laws are a bottle representing the upper limit of a cultivator's realm, then magical power is like the water in the bottle.

For ordinary people, comprehending the laws and cultivating their skills are basically synchronized. At most, when they first comprehend the laws, their cultivation will be slightly slower, but they can quickly catch up.

When Ye Linyuan first broke through to the Void Refinement Realm, he also cultivated the power of laws, and his law cultivation almost reached the seventh level of Void Refinement in one step.

However, his magical power was too immense, making it difficult for him to keep up with the rhythm of the laws in a short period of time, so it took him many years to catch up.

Fortunately, with the advancement of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower and the enhancement of the Water Spirit Pearl's effects, Ye Linyuan's cultivation speed has caught up.

Now Ye Linyuan has completely filled the bottle with water, synchronizing his magic power and laws to the seventh level of Void Refinement, which can be considered as synchronizing his laws and the Great Dao realm.

Now that his magical power had caught up, Ye Linyuan didn't waste any more time and immediately began to comprehend the eighth path.

With Ye Linyuan's current magical power, he is already able to suppress the seven laws to a certain extent, and the difficulty of comprehending the eighth law has been reduced by dozens of times.

Therefore, this comprehension went very smoothly, and he successfully cultivated the eighth law—Eternal Ice—in just two thousand years.

Another thousand years passed, and Ye Linyuan's magical power continued to break through, reaching the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Several thousand years later, Ye Linyuan mastered the ninth law—Soul-Sweeping Wind—and raised his cultivation to the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Even while cultivating the laws, Ye Linyuan also took the time to cultivate all the myriad transformation divine abilities to the great perfection level.

At this point, Ye Linyuan had mastered a level of divine power surpassing the Great Perfection of Myriad Transformations, and its power had reached a level comparable to the ultimate Xuan Tian realm.

"Although I have already reached the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, it will be too difficult to break through to the next level."

"There are less than five thousand years until the Hundred Clans Conference. It is impossible for me to cultivate to the tenth level of the Void Refinement Realm."

Ye Linyuan murmured, his brow furrowing slightly.

As one's cultivation level increases, the difficulty of comprehending the laws also increases. The difficulty of comprehending the tenth law is far greater than comprehending the previous nine laws combined.

Especially for Ye Linyuan, since he did not choose to cultivate a single law, the repulsive force of various laws has become increasingly strong.

"With my current strength, I'm afraid I can't win the first place in the Hundred Clans Tournament."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, his brow furrowing slightly.

Although he was at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm, he had mastered eight top-tier laws at the Great Completion Realm, plus one supreme-level Great Completion Law.

However, these nine laws cannot be perfectly unified, so his true combat strength and foundation may not surpass that of a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

The Myriad Transformations Divine Power is invincible among its peers. After advancing to the Great Perfection of the Profound Heaven Divine Power, it can rival the ultimate Profound Heaven Divine Power, but that is all it can do.

After all, those who can cultivate to the ninth level of Void Refinement are all extraordinary beings, even more powerful than the eight realm lords of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

Each of them is an unparalleled genius, possessing at least several profound divine abilities, and their fighting prowess may not be weaker than Ye Linyuan's.

It can be said that most of Ye Linyuan's methods are now limited to the level of a Saint Son.

The only thing he could boast about was the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower, which was comparable to a quasi-creator immortal weapon. Relying on the foundation of this natal treasure, Ye Linyuan was confident that he could break into the top ten of the Hundred Races Tournament.

However, if this was the only method Ye Linyuan possessed, he would not have been able to become one of the top three in the Hundred Clans Conference.

Because the top three figures in the Hundred Clans Conference are all likely to break through to the Integration Dao Ancestor level, and such beings at least have combat power comparable to an ordinary half-step Integration Dao Ancestor.

"To win first place in the Hundred Clans Tournament, one must cultivate the Soul of Law."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, then made up his mind.

Next, he stopped pursuing the improvement of laws and supernatural powers, and instead focused his energy on comprehending the laws of the void.

For Ye Linyuan, although he could not cultivate the complete Xuan Tian Law, cultivating the illusory prototype of the law was not a problem.

As early as when he was half-step into the continuous realm, Ye Linyuan had already cultivated 108 Void Laws. With the blessing of the Myriad Transformations Soul, these laws once gave Ye Linyuan the strength to fight against Void Refinement Realm cultivators.

Ye Linyuan had long wanted to continue cultivating more Void Laws, since with his foundation and origin, he could easily cultivate tens of thousands of Void Laws.

However, after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, these Void Laws provided little support to Ye Linyuan. Even if all 108 Void Laws were combined, they would only be at the level of the third or fourth level of the Void Refinement stage.

Furthermore, there will be marginal benefits. Even if Ye Linyuan cultivates ten thousand Void Laws, he can only be comparable to the sixth level of Void Refinement with these Void Laws alone.

To cultivate tens of thousands of Void Laws, Ye Linyuan might need to spend millions of years, which is simply not worthwhile considering the time and cost involved.

However, cultivating the Void Law is different now. With his cultivation at the ninth level of Void Refinement, Ye Linyuan can cultivate a Void Law at the half-step Void Refinement level in just a few years.

With the added boost of time flow, Ye Linyuan could compress this time by a hundredfold.

In just a thousand years, Ye Linyuan had comprehended tens of thousands of Void Laws, cultivating almost all the techniques within the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Art to this level.
"Having cultivated tens of thousands of illusory laws, my strength has not undergone a qualitative change, but I have some clues about the soul of laws."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, "This is also why those Void Refinement experts don't cultivate the Void Laws."

Because the Void Laws are ultimately not something that can be brought to the forefront, without the blessing of the Myriad Transformations Soul, even if they cultivate hundreds or thousands of Paths, they will find it difficult to unleash much power.

Moreover, cultivating so many Void Laws would waste their time. After all, they don't have Ye Linyuan's comprehension and the blessing of the Spirit Refining Bodhi Seed. It would probably take them tens of millions of years to cultivate all the Void Laws.

"Can the myriad Void Laws, combined with the nine Profound Heaven Laws, allow my Law Soul to take initial shape?"

Ye Linyuan murmured, a hint of uncertainty in his heart.

His Myriad Transformations Soul was born by chance, but the gap between sword intent and laws was simply too great.

This is the difference between immortals and mortals. After all, the Supreme Being of Refining Emptiness is known as the True Immortal of Refining Emptiness in the immortal realm.

Even in the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Void Refining Supreme can live forever, but they need to face the Void Refining Tribulation which occurs once every million years.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan tried to let the Myriad Transformations Soul absorb the myriad illusory laws, but he found that the power of these illusory laws was too strong, and even the Myriad Transformations Soul could not withstand it at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan frowned slightly, abandoning his attempt to forcibly absorb the myriad illusory laws, and took out a fragment of an ancient book covered in gold foil—[True Explanation of Laws]. (End of Chapter)
