Cangling Immortal Clan

Perhaps for the entire Human Race Temple, Lord Ni Chao is a once-in-a-million-years genius.

Such a person might be qualified to become a saint-level being among most ancient fusion races, and even has a high probability of becoming a saint-level being among the human race.

However, in the eyes of the two Dao Ancestors and Ye Linyuan, this person was not among the most amazing.

Both of these Dao Ancestors lived for tens of millions of years, overlooking the endless river of time, witnessing the rise of countless geniuses and outstanding individuals, and also witnessing the disappearance of countless people.

While the ninth level of Void Refinement is impressive, it is ultimately no match for other great Dao techniques like Spirit Refinement.

Otherwise, the two Dao Ancestors would not have predetermined the position of the Human Race's Holy Son to Ye Linyuan from the very beginning.

"Son……"

Ni Chaojun's lips turned pale, and his pupils trembled violently.

What shocked him was not Ye Linyuan's astonishing combat power, but rather that he never expected to be defeated so easily.

You must know that he has reached the ninth level of Void Refinement, mastered the laws of the perfect level, and is a top figure among those with perfect laws.

The cultivation path of focusing on one path only requires a minimum of five laws to merge into a perfect law, which is also theoretically the case for someone at the fifth level of Void Refinement to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Most of the powerful celestial beings in the Immortal Realm broke through by fusing five or six laws into a perfect law.

However, even when mastering the Perfect Law, the Perfect Law ultimately achieved will vary greatly depending on the number and strength of the branch laws consumed during fusion.

The laws are broadly categorized into ordinary, superior, top-tier, and supreme.

Take Ye Linyuan's Time Law for example. It is one of the extremely rare supreme laws. Some ordinary laws can also be upgraded to supreme laws if they are fused with a large number of extremely powerful laws.

Therefore, there is a consensus in the Eternal Heaven Realm that the perfect law cultivated through the five or six laws is considered ordinary.

The perfect law formed by the fusion of the seven laws is the superior law, and the perfect law formed by the fusion of the eight laws above it is the top law.

As for the supreme laws, they are all formed by the fusion of the ten laws.

Any ordinary law, after being combined with ten laws, transforms into a perfect law and becomes a supreme law comparable to the law of time.

Of course, this is not absolute. Some exceptionally talented individuals can still fuse nine or even eight laws to form a supreme law.

For example, the Nine Extremes Dragon Emperor, the universally recognized strongest race, can fuse nine laws into the strongest law—Nine Extremes Heavenly Fire.

Among the human race, there was once an invincible being who fused eight superior laws to create the strongest law.

This Lord of the Reverse Tide has mastered a top-tier law that has been perfectly integrated, making him one of the most amazing beings in the entire human race.

Therefore, he had always considered the position of Holy Son to be his for the taking, but he never expected that the human race would suddenly designate the Holy Son, and that he would not even last a single move against the Holy Son.

You should know that he prides himself on his unparalleled talent, and even when facing a prodigy at the tenth level of the Void Refinement Realm, he should be able to hold his own for at least a dozen moves.

"Alright, now that you have witnessed it, I suppose you have no objection to the position of Holy Son."

Seeing this, the Ancestor of Myriad Medicines spoke up at the opportune moment: "The Holy Son has mastered the wondrous art of refining spirits, and this time he will lead you all to participate in the Hundred Races Assembly."

"You all absolutely need to do your utmost to help us win back more resources for our human race."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of everyone present, followed by a look of delight in many of them.

"So it was a miraculous art of refining spirits. No wonder he became a holy son."

"With the Spirit Refining Technique, our human race might be able to rank among the top ten and obtain the Ten-Patterned Profound Heaven Treasure and a large amount of resources."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and many people were showing signs of excitement.

The Hundred Races Conference has always been ostensibly a joint event of all races, but most of the resources are actually funded by the human race and the ancient races that do not have an invincible Dao Ancestor.

Although the top ten strongest races would offer some ten-patterned Xuan Tian treasures as rewards for the top ten, this level was generally beyond the reach of ordinary fusion races like them.

Because apart from the top ten races, very few other races are qualified to be among the top ten.

This is due to differences in resources, heritage, and racial talent, and it is also related to the extraordinary arts of the Great Dao.

According to legend, once a cultivator reaches the Integration Realm, they can further control a portion of the power of the Great Dao's wondrous arts.

For example, if Ye Linyuan breaks through to the Integration Dao Ancestor stage, he can activate the Spirit Refining Technique to repair the foundation of human geniuses and grant them one or two opportunities to refine spirit treasures.

Although such spots are rare, even a Dao Ancestor who has reached the Integration Stage would need to pay a certain price to use them, they are enough to cultivate unparalleled geniuses.

The reason why the ten powerful clans were able to dominate the Eternal Heaven Realm was because their unique spirit-refining techniques, which were adept at combat, allowed their strength and foundation to achieve insurmountable leaps.

No matter how amazing the geniuses of humans and other races are, they are ultimately one or two levels weaker than the geniuses of the ten strongest races at the same level.

But things are different now. A being who has mastered the complete Great Dao techniques has appeared, and these techniques are among the most powerful Great Dao techniques in terms of combat strength.

As long as Ye Linyuan's combat strength isn't particularly weak, he will eventually become the strongest in the Void Refinement Realm.

If the human race can break into the top ten, they are likely to obtain a large amount of resources, making their future cultivation resources much more abundant.

Therefore, whether sincerely or not, everyone present had extremely high expectations for Ye Linyuan.

"Seven days later, we will set off to attend the Hundred Tribes Conference."

"You may all go and prepare."

When he finally spoke, he watched everyone leave.

After everyone had left, Ye Linyuan finally spoke and asked, "Who betrayed my information last time?"

"A spy of the Celestial Race has been taken away by the Celestial Race."

When the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits spoke, a chill appeared in his eyes.

When Ye Linyuan was attacked, although two Dao Ancestors secretly instigated the attack, it was undeniable that a traitor had emerged from the human race.

Yet, such a despicable traitor was still taken away by the Celestial Race, which shows that the human race is still too frustrated in the Celestial Realm of Immortals.

"If you truly perish, then the two of us will naturally not spare him."

"But since you are still alive, we no longer have the ability to completely antagonize the Celestial Race."

Seemingly worried that Ye Linyuan might mind, the Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines spoke up.

Ye Linyuan nodded; he understood the concerns of the two Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors.

The Dao Ancestor of the Fusion Realm is practically immortal, and these two human beings have many friends and extensive connections. Too many people owe them favors, and too many people need their resources.

So as long as these two don't go looking for their deaths, no one would be foolish enough to kill them.

These two Dao Ancestors weren't worried about themselves, but rather that if they were to completely antagonize the Celestial Race, the true disciples and quasi-saints of the human race's Holy Temple would likely suffer greatly.

After all, no one dared to touch the two Dao Ancestors who had reached the Integration Realm, but the Void Refinement Supremes and their junior cultivators from the human race, as well as the Void Refinement Supremes from the top ten races, did not mind suppressing them.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan calmly said, "The two Dao Ancestors have already given so much, there's no need to worry about it so much."

"However, if I encounter that traitor at the Hundred Clans Assembly, I will certainly not let him off easily."

"If you could subdue the younger generation of all races, my human race wouldn't be so pathetic."

The Ancestor of All Spirits let out a cold laugh, clearly wanting someone to help the younger generation vent their anger.

"..."

Seven days later, atop the sacred mountain of humanity, a magnificent ship burst forth from the sky.

Standing atop the giant ship, Ye Linyuan gazed at the vast and boundless Eternal Heaven Realm, a complex mix of emotions welling up within him.

Having left the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, he had spent tens of thousands of years in seclusion and cultivation, and his cultivation had finally begun to take shape. Now, he was finally about to appear on the stage of the Eternal Heaven Realm.

The large ship sailed towards the center of the Eternal Heaven Realm. After an unknown amount of time, it arrived before a majestic and ancient sacred mountain.

"Cliff of Immortality".

Looking at the endless mountain cliffs before him, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but recall the legends of this place.

The Cliff of Immortality has existed since the beginning of the Immortal Realm. Legend has it that it was originally a huge chaotic stone at the beginning of the universe, and its size was more than hundreds of millions of miles.

Later, he was refined by the Immortal Venerable of Longevity and placed in the center of the Longevity Heaven Realm, which became his Daoist temple in the Longevity Heaven Realm – Longevity Cliff.

Afterwards, the Immortal Venerable of Longevity ascended to the Immortal Realm, and the Cliff of Longevity remained in the Celestial Realm of Longevity, becoming one of the highest holy lands of the Celestial Realm of Longevity.

Countless people once believed that the Cliff of Longevity contained the supreme treasures left behind by the Immortal Venerable of Longevity, and even the unparalleled opportunity to break through to the Mahayana realm.

Unfortunately, countless people have returned disappointed after exploring this place, because there are no opportunities left behind by the Immortal Venerable of Immortality. The Cliff of Immortality has also been completely refined into the world, and even the Invincible Dao Ancestor could not retrieve it.

Over time, this place was abandoned by everyone and later became the venue for the Hundred Races Conference.

Because the Longevity Cliff is solid and indestructible, it can withstand attacks from the level of a Nascent Soul Dao Ancestor, allowing heroes from all races to unleash their full power here.

"so many people."

At this moment, a series of surprised voices came from the large ship. Some human cultivators who had never participated in the Hundred Races Conference looked towards the Longevity Cliff, and were obviously shocked by the aura of this place.

This grand event, which happens only once every million years, is too magnificent. The cultivators who participate in the event are all truly peerless geniuses, and each of them is an immortal supreme being.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so shocking. What truly shocked them was that the number of Void Refinement Supremes in this place was probably no less than tens of thousands.

"boom--"

Faced with everyone's astonishment, Ye Linyuan did not speak, but calmly let the treasure ship land on the Longevity Cliff.

Just then, he heard the voice of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines say, "We two will go and meet some old friends. You and the disciples of the Holy Temple should wait for the Hundred Clans Assembly to begin."

"clear."

Ye Linyuan nodded and noticed that the two combined Dao Ancestors, the Myriad Medicine Ancestor and the Myriad Spirit Ancestor, had appeared on the clouds at some point, standing side by side with a group of figures that resembled immortals and demons.

Moreover, their positions were central among the assembled Dao Ancestors, clearly indicating the special status of the human race. Ye Linyuan was not surprised by this, as the human race possessed two crucial Dao techniques that could help the true spirits of heaven and earth complete their bloodline transformation and cultivate the key ingredient for the Dao Integration Pill.

Therefore, in the entire Eternal Heaven Realm, the human race has always been among the top three in importance, but it is only because of insufficient strength that it is difficult to be among the top ten powerful races.

Throughout the entire Eternal Heaven Realm, many contracted races are in a similar situation to the human race, so they stick together for mutual support.

Even some of the Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors among the Ten Great Clans owed favors to the two Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors.

"The Hundred Clans Conference is still six months away. You are free to move around during this time."

After ascending the Cliff of Immortality, Ye Linyuan arrived at the human race's encampment and then spoke with the true disciples of the human race's Holy Temple.

Everyone present naturally bowed and then headed to their respective residences.

Ye Linyuan also arrived at the cave, intending to see if he could continue his secluded cultivation and improve himself, but he was disturbed at this moment.

It turned out that several people had come to visit him in front of his cave, one of whom was Ye Zangfeng, and the others were also at least at the sixth or seventh level of the Void Refinement Realm.

"His Royal Highness the Holy Son."

Ye Zangfeng spoke, cupping his hands in greeting to Ye Linyuan, and then introduced himself to Ye Linyuan, saying, "We all come from the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, which is why we have taken the liberty of coming to visit you."

As the group introduced themselves, Ye Linyuan came to understand the identities of these people.

It turns out that these people were all top geniuses who were sent out of the Eternal Heaven Realm back then, and now, after cultivating for millions of years, most of them have become Void Refinement Supremes.

The most impressive one among them was the Daoist Sunrise Venerable, whose cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm, but he had not yet obtained the qualification of a quasi-saint of the human race.

"come in."

Ye Linyuan was a newcomer and didn't know much about the Eternal Heaven Realm and the Human Race Holy Temple, so he took the opportunity to learn about the layout of this place.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed joy and immediately stepped forward to help Ye Linyuan enter the main hall.

They stayed in the main hall for half a day, telling Ye Linyuan about the state of the human race in the Eternal Heaven Realm, as well as the human race's position in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

After listening, Ye Linyuan's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a serious expression for the first time.

In fact, the situation of the human race in the Eternal Heaven Realm is not too bad. Because the human race is good at cultivating various arts, even though they are slightly exploited by the ten powerful races, their relationship with the major races is still relatively good on the surface.

In fact, due to the large number of human race's Void Refinement Supremes, the overall strength of the human race should rank around the top twenty in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

However, the lack of top-tier combat power, coupled with the existence of the Celestial Race, has caused the human race to lose a large number of its peak combat forces.

"The Celestial Race will absorb the geniuses of my human race."

Ye Linyuan spoke, a serious look appearing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zangfeng sighed and said, "My Celestial Race is, after all, a branch of my human race. The order has been transformed by the Celestial Race Ancestor's Celestial Race techniques, and all the geniuses of my human race can be transformed into Celestial Race members."

"Therefore, many of our human race's amazing quasi-saints, as well as some individuals with the potential to become saints, have ultimately chosen to join the Celestial Race."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan finally understood why the human race was in such a predicament.

With such a large human population, the most amazing geniuses are bound to emerge. However, these individuals either remain within the human race and are suppressed, making it difficult for them to break through to the Fusion stage, or they have to join the Celestial Race to seek further opportunities.

With such continuous losses of elites, it's no wonder that the human race has struggled to produce a third Dao Ancestor who has achieved the Fusion Realm.

"Your Highness, this Hundred Races Conference has attracted hundreds of thousands of powerful individuals, many of whom have brought a large number of rare treasures with them."

"This is also a rare opportunity for us, and we may be able to exchange it for some rare treasures."

After explaining the plight of the human race, Ye Zangfeng offered his suggestions.

Ye Linyuan nodded in agreement, then calmly said, "In that case, let's go take a look."

Having said all that, the group soon arrived at the Immortal City of Immortality.

As a place revered by all races, the Immortal City of Immortality has always been jointly ruled by all races, making it the largest immortal city and market town in the Immortal Realm of Immortality.

Upon arriving in the immortal city, the group went directly to the market and barter area, hoping to trade for some rare treasures they needed.

During this time, Ye Linyuan tried to activate the Myriad Transformations Immortal Eye to see if he could find any bargains, but he gained very little.

Although divine objects conceal themselves, at the level of the Refining Void Supreme, the Xuan Tian Divine Eyes such as the Golden Eye of Illusion are no longer considered unparalleled divine eyes.

The only thing in the world that even Void Refinement Supremes can't discern the origin of is probably an eighth-order Great Dao Treasure.

Of course, although he didn't manage to snag a bargain, Ye Linyuan did manage to acquire a large number of rare treasures that were useful to him.

These rare treasures won't significantly improve Ye Linyuan's abilities, but they will enhance his understanding of various myriad transformation divine abilities and accelerate his progress in cultivating them to the ultimate Xuan Tian level.

"Are you Daoist Xuanyuan?"

Just as Ye Linyuan was exchanging items, he suddenly heard a cold and arrogant voice.

Ye Linyuan looked up and saw a group of tall and imposing men strolling over and calmly landing in front of him.

Each of these people possessed an incredibly powerful aura, like a blazing sun stretching across the sky. The leader, in particular, seemed like a celestial being incarnate, causing Ye Linyuan to sense a faint danger.

"They are Celestials."

Ye Zangfeng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately spoke to Ye Linyuan through telepathy: "That person is the current Holy Son of the Celestial Race - Tianyuan Wujiu. He has undergone four Celestial Race baptisms and was the third place winner in the previous Hundred Races Conference."

"Oh?"

Ye Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly. The so-called baptism of the celestial beings refers to the bloodline level of the celestial beings.

Generally speaking, any Celestial being born will undergo a Celestial baptism, and the noblest Celestial bloodline will be born within them, and they may even be born with the power of laws.

Furthermore, if a human joins the Celestial Race and undergoes a Celestial Baptism, they will also be transformed into a Celestial Race member.

The combination of the bloodline of the heavens and the bloodline of humans creates the legendary Celestial Race.

This race possesses the supreme physical body of the Heavenly Bloodline, as well as the extraordinary talents of the human race in cultivation and various arts. Their individual aptitude and combat power belong to the highest ranks of the Eternal Heaven Realm.

According to popular legend, after undergoing a baptism by the heavens and man, one can break through to the Void Refinement Realm upon reaching adulthood.

Those who have undergone two baptisms of heaven and man are considered the elite of the heaven and man race, and can generally cultivate to the level of the fifth level of Void Refinement or above.

If one can undergo three baptisms of heaven and man, one can cultivate to the ninth level of Void Refinement and become invincible among those of the same level.

Of course, not everyone can withstand the baptism of heaven and man. This kind of great and wondrous technique is extremely domineering. Once you cannot withstand it, you will suffer severe damage, and there is even a risk that you will not be able to suppress the heavenly blood and die.

Therefore, generally speaking, those who can undergo three baptisms of heaven and man are considered the most outstanding talents among the heaven and man race.

Those who can withstand four baptisms of heaven and man are all Dao Ancestors of the Heaven and Man race at the Integration level.

The Tianyuan Wujiu before us has undergone four baptisms of heaven and man, so his potential is at least at the level of a Dao Ancestor in the Integration Realm, and his combat power is also capable of challenging other Integration Realm beings.

The Celestial Race is extremely rare, with the entire race numbering less than ten thousand, because the opportunity to receive Celestial Baptism is so precious.

Only the most outstanding geniuses of the human race, and the best among the descendants of the Celestials, can receive the Celestial Baptism.

"I didn't expect you to break through to the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm so quickly. It seems that the human race has invested a lot of resources in you."

At this moment, Tian Yuan Wujiu did not speak, but a red-haired man beside him said with a smile.

Ye Linyuan looked up and down, and found that it was a Celestial Race member at the ninth level of the Void Refinement stage, but there seemed to be a trace of incongruous aura in his body.

"Crimson Flame Supreme, you traitor!"

Ye Zangfeng suddenly spoke, his face filled with murderous intent.

Ye Linyuan instantly understood that this person was the one who had condemned the human race, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The Crimson Serpent Supreme sneered, then calmly said, "The Celestial Race and my human race share the same bloodline. My joining the Celestial Race is also a way of acknowledging my ancestors and returning to my roots. How can you call me a traitor?"

"Besides, if I hadn't joined the Celestial Race, how could I have broken through to the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm?"

"you--"

Ye Zangfeng's expression changed slightly, and he was about to say something when Ye Linyuan stopped him.

Ye Linyuan looked at Tianyuan Wujiu and said calmly, "You came to find me just to let me see the traitor of the human race?"

“You’re overthinking it.” Tian Yuan Wujiu smiled and calmly looked Ye Linyuan up and down, saying, “A million years ago, I was defeated by the Spirit Refining Technique.”

"Now I want to see how much the new master of this Spirit Refining Technique is compared to the Heaven-Slaying Sword Lord of yesteryear."

Ye Linyuan nodded, then said calmly, "So how do you feel?"

"Your ambitions are too great."

Tianyuan Wujiu shook his head, then said calmly, "Cultivating all paths simultaneously is a dead end. Even if you forcibly fuse your foundation using the Spirit Refining Technique, you will probably never reach the Body Integration Realm in this lifetime."

"Since I had no hope of merging with the other, I might as well try for an alternative merging position."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, without revealing his own thoughts.

That day, Yuan Wujiu nodded, calmly stood up and said, "If you join my Celestial Race and endure six Celestial Baptisms, you might have a one in ten thousand chance of forcibly achieving Dao."

"This is an opportunity for you to attain enlightenment, specially given to you by the Ancestor because you both come from the human race."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was horrified.

Completing the Celestial Baptism using the extraordinary techniques of the Celestial Dao can greatly enhance the physical strength and bloodline potential of the Celestial race. Even completing just four Celestial Baptisms can significantly increase the probability of breaking through to the Fusion stage.

Legend has it that once one completes nine baptisms of heaven and man, one will be transformed into a perfect body of the heavenly Dao, which is one of the most enticing opportunities in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

If Ye Linyuan truly joins the Celestial Race and completes the six baptisms of the Heavenly Dao Body, he might actually have a sliver of hope of breaking through to the realm of the Integration Dao Ancestor in the future. (End of this chapter)
