Cangling Immortal Clan

"With only the ninth level of Void Refinement, he already possesses a unique combat power at the Integration level. It seems that the Spirit Refinement Technique is truly extraordinary."

Seeing that the outcome of the war was no longer in doubt, a Dao Ancestor who had merged with the heavens sighed.

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits let out a long sigh, then stroked his beard and smiled, "He has already used up four Spirit Refining opportunities for this battle. If he cannot take first place among the hundred races, then he will have come in vain."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but glance at each other, a thoughtful expression appearing on their faces.

Nine is the ultimate number, and any great Dao technique can only be used a maximum of nine times, and can only be used a maximum of six times before breaking through to the Fusion stage.

Ye Linyuan's Spirit Refining Technique is similar; before breaking through to the Integration Realm, there is only one opportunity to refine the spirit at each stage.

Ye Linyuan has already used up four opportunities to refine spirits. Even if he refines spirits twice more, his strength will only increase by 40% to 50% at most. He will probably only reach the level of a newly promoted Integration Realm cultivator.

This level of strength is indeed a foundation for the human race, but it is ultimately insufficient to change the fate of the human race and the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both structure and overall situation) of the Eternal Heaven Realm.

"What a pity. If he hadn't been in such a hurry and had refined a few more Xuan Tian treasures, his strength might have been three times stronger in the future."

At this moment, the ancient ancestor of the Celestial Race spoke, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

An ancient ancestor from the Void Spirit Clan shook his head and said calmly, "It's easy to say, but would you hand over the Ten-Patterned Profound Heaven Treasure to him?"

No one spoke, understanding that the ancient ancestor of the Void Spirit Clan was right.

The Ten-Patterned Profound Heaven Treasure is extremely precious. Most ancient clans that have reached the Integration Realm only possess one or two of these treasures. They are supreme treasures at the foundation level and would not be easily traded.

Although the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines can cultivate ten-patterned Xuan Tian treasures, these spiritual plants are often more functional and do not significantly improve combat power. Once refined, they may not necessarily lead to a dramatic increase in Ye Linyuan's strength.

Therefore, Ye Linyuan's best choice is to improve his strength and compete for the Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure at the Hundred Clans Assembly.

"You lost."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and with a flick of his palm, he completely suppressed Tianyuan Wujiu.

At this moment, Tian Yuan Wujiu's face was pale, his body was covered with cracks, and his immortal celestial body was completely shattered.

He barely managed to stay in place, his face resolute as he said, "Although you have won, your journey has come to an end."

"After I return, I will go into seclusion to prove my Dao and achieve the Unity of the Body. When I break through, I will definitely fight you again."

"I'm waiting for that day."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, then casually tossed Tianyuan Wujiu out.

He then looked around, then gazed at the second celestial stele, staring intently at the Holy Son of the Void Spirit Clan, and asked, "Do you wish to challenge me?"

"You possess the extraordinary arts of the Great Dao, and the first battle in this world should rightfully be yours."

Unexpectedly, the Holy Son of the Void Race did not choose to challenge him.

Clearly, in his eyes, he had no chance of winning against a truly unconventional hybrid.

This is the difference between the alternative fusion realm and the Void Refinement realm. Even though Ye Linyuan's strength is only comparable to an ordinary half-step fusion realm, he is still not someone that a saint-level figure who has mastered the supreme laws can challenge.

Even though this holy son-level figure has been baptized several times by the Great Dao's wondrous techniques, and his strength is at the most invincible level in this realm.

Even the Holy Son of the Void Spirit Clan didn't challenge him, so naturally no one else had the courage to challenge Ye Linyuan.

After all, the gap between the top ten is not large. Once Ye Linyuan seriously injures them, it will probably not be so easy for them to maintain their ranking.

Therefore, Ye Linyuan remained firmly in his position, having already secured the top spot among the Hundred Clans, while the others began to fight each other, challenging for the ranking on the Hundred Clans Heavenly Stele.

As time went on, most of the lower-ranked people failed three times in their challenges, while the higher-ranked people, after maintaining their rankings, began to challenge for higher levels.

Unfortunately, not many people were able to successfully challenge it. Obviously, the ranking given by the Hundred Clans Conference is of great reference value. Apart from a few geniuses, most people find it difficult to move their ranking up even a few steps.

The top twenty strongest individuals also began to challenge each other, wanting to compete for a spot in the top ten of the hundred races, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded in the end.

The one with the best chance of making it into the top ten is the Chaotic Demon Ape. He fought the Ancient Saint for more than 30,000 moves, dominating the Ancient Saint from beginning to end, and was finally defeated when the Ancient Saint wore him down.

Clearly, without combat-type Daoist techniques, even the mighty Chaos Demon Ape, renowned for its combat prowess, would struggle to outlast these top ten races.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the ancient gods have extraordinary physical bodies and their immortality techniques have extremely strong vitality.

Without combat power at the half-step Integration level, it's practically impossible to pass the test of the Ancient Holy Son.

The reason why the holy sons of the other ten powerful clans were able to defeat the ancient holy son was mainly due to the power of the Great Dao's extraordinary techniques, which allowed them to temporarily unleash their strength at the half-step Integration level and suppress him.

As everyone's challenges came to an end, the final ten positions were determined.

The Holy Son of the Void Spirit Ancient Clan took second place. Tianyuan Wujiu was originally a favorite to be the number one among all the clans, but after losing to Ye Linyuan, his injuries were too severe, so he could only take third place.

The True Dragon Clan took fourth place, the Heavenly Demon Clan took fifth, the Immortal Phoenix Clan took sixth, and the Sun God Clan and the Moon God Clan took seventh and eighth place respectively.

The ninth and tenth places were occupied by the Kunpeng Clan and the Primordial God Clan, respectively, while the Holy Son of the Ancient God Clan fell to the eleventh place.

"Of the top ten races, four are gods."

Ye Linyuan murmured, a ripple appearing in his eyes.

The so-called gods are actually descendants of ancient gods, who ruled the entire universe in ancient times.

There were tens of thousands of ancient gods at that time, and the ancient era was known as the era of the rulers of all races.

Later, the Immortal Venerable of Longevity ended the Primordial Era, almost completely wiping out the powerful members of the Primordial God Clan. A large number of Primordial God Kings and Gods were killed.

However, even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily. As the Immortal Venerable ascended to the Immortal Realm, the descendants of these gods began to rise again.

The current divine races, including the Taiyin Divine Race, the Taiyang Divine Race, and the Ancient Divine Race, are actually among the top ten powerful divine races of the Primordial Divine Race, and have even recovered most of their foundations from the Primordial Era.

The Primordial God Clan is a divine race composed of a group of Primordial Gods. Although the individual strength of each race may not be comparable to the three major divine races, their overall strength is not inferior. They also have the invincible God King, the Primordial God Lord, who is still alive.

These four divine races each have multiple God-Kings in existence, which means they are powerful beings at the Integration level, and they are all influential forces in the Eternal Heaven Realm.

"The relationships among the ten powerful races are complex. The gods are vaguely closer to each other, while the later-rising races such as the Celestial Race, the Celestial Demon Race, and the True Dragon and Celestial Phoenix are more hostile to them."

"If I have the opportunity to use it, it might reduce the pressure on me to break through to the Fusion stage."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, then put the thought away.

These ideas can be developed gradually in the future; for now, his priority is to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

"when--"

As the final bell rang, the war between the hundred races finally came to a complete end.

Ye Linyuan stood calmly on the Heavenly Stele, looking up at the Dao Ancestors in the sky. He saw that the Myriad Spirits Dao Ancestor nodded.

Then the abyss sank, and a magnificent divine voice of the Great Dao resounded out.

"The Hundred Clans Conference has concluded, and the Hundred Clans can now acquire resources based on their rankings."

"Those who rank first in the Heavenly Stele can enter the Treasure Vault of the Hundred Races to exchange for resources."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan felt the void of heaven and earth crack open, and he found himself in a magnificent space.

At the same time, the voice of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits came over and said: "This time you won first place among the Hundred Races, and our human race has obtained one-tenth of the resources of the Hundred Races Conference. We will reward you handsomely when you return."

"You should first enter the treasure vault of the hundred races and choose the rare treasures that suit you."

Ye Linyuan's brow twitched slightly, and he realized that he had entered a magnificent treasure vault.

As the champion of the Hundred Clans Tournament, Ye Linyuan can choose three Xuan Tian Treasures, and he has the highest priority in choosing them.

So without the slightest hesitation, he went straight to the core of the Hundred Races Treasure Vault, and felt a tremor in his soul after just one glance.

Within the treasure trove of the Hundred Races, dozens of treasures radiating ten different colors floated, each containing ancient and unparalleled laws and principles.

"The Supreme Treasure of the Mysterious Heaven".

Ye Linyuan murmured, revealing an expression of utter astonishment for the first time.

The Xuan Tian Treasures are of immeasurable value. Each one is a unique and unparalleled treasure. There may be no more than a few hundred of these treasures in the entire universe, and the vast majority of them already have owners.

Dozens of such treasures have appeared here, suggesting that most of the unclaimed Xuan Tian treasures have been gathered here, demonstrating the considerable resources invested by each race in hosting the Hundred Races Conference. "Thirty-seven Xuan Tian treasures, but unfortunately most of them are Xuan Tian spiritual plants and special items."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, and after carefully selecting for a moment, he quickly focused his attention on the three rare delicacies.

These three rare treasures are a piece of white immortal gold, a piece of strange iron containing five-colored Dao essence, and a piece of strange iron filled with chaotic colors.

"Tai Bai Geng Jin, Wu Xing Xian Jin, Hun Dun Xian Jin".

Ye Linyuan spoke slowly in a low voice, revealing a hint of hesitation for the first time.

These three treasures are all ten-patterned Xuan Tian supreme treasures, and all can be used to advance the Refining Spirit Geng Jin Sword Embryo, but Ye Linyuan hesitated about how to choose.

Of these three treasures, the Chaos Immortal Gold is undoubtedly the most valuable. This treasure probably surpasses the Primordial Chaos Pearl and belongs to the top-tier Xuan Tian treasures.

The advantage of using such a treasure to refine the spirit is that Ye Linyuan's strength will increase dramatically after the refinement. The disadvantage is that it will be difficult to find seventh-order Chaos Immortal Gold when he breaks through to the Fusion stage in the future.

Because such rare treasures with chaotic attributes theoretically only exist in the chaos outside the universe. They could only have existed at the beginning of the universe; otherwise, the Great Dao of the universe could not have been conceived on its own.

Although Taibai Gengjin and Wuxing Xianjin are slightly inferior, they have the advantage of being able to find spirit refining items or advanced treasures of the seventh rank or above.

In the future, when Ye Linyuan breaks through to the Fusion stage, he will be able to refine the seventh-level Taibai Gengjin and Five Elements Immortal Gold to further enhance his strength.

"Although Taibai Gengjin and Wuxing Xianjin are powerful, their value is at the bottom among the ten-pattern Xuantian treasures."

"Above that, there are Taiyi Immortal Gold and Daluo Immortal Gold, which are at least two levels below Chaos Immortal Gold."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, somewhat hesitant.

If Chaos Immortal Gold is considered a top-tier Xuan Tian treasure, and Great Luo Immortal Gold is a refined Xuan Tian treasure, then these two are considered ordinary Xuan Tian treasures.

Refining the Taiyi Immortal Gold, a supreme treasure of the Xuantian realm, could greatly increase Ye Linyuan's strength, but it was difficult to produce that kind of ultimate transformation.

"Choose the strongest path."

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Linyuan still chose the Chaos Immortal Gold.

He knew very well that the tribulation of breaking through to the Fusion Realm was the most troublesome thing, even more so than the combat power after breaking through to the Fusion Realm.

Once he breaks through to the Integration Realm, with his foundation, he will definitely become a giant among the Integration Dao Ancestors. At that time, even without the Chaos Gold, a rare spiritual refining artifact, he will have the means to make a living.

After taking the Chaos Immortal Gold, Ye Linyuan looked at the other treasures. After thinking it over, he chose two top-grade Xuan Tian spiritual roots, namely the Heavenly Soul Fruit Tree and the Earthly Soul Fruit Tree.

These two ancient trees of the Mysterious Heaven were chosen in preparation for the Soul of Law.

Although these two treasures are merely nine-patterned Xuan Tian ancient trees, they can continuously nurture Soul Dao Sacred Fruits, making them a hundred times more valuable than nine-patterned Xuan Tian treasures and even more precious than most ten-patterned Xuan Tian supreme treasures.

Ye Linyuan's primordial spirit is extremely powerful, and has now reached a level comparable to the half-step Integration Realm. However, if he wants to take another step forward and cultivate a stronger Law Soul, the foundation of his divine soul is indispensable.

As one of the sacred fruits of the divine soul, both the Heavenly Soul Sacred Fruit and the Earthly Soul Sacred Fruit are of immeasurable value and are considered the finest among the Nine-Patterned Profound Heaven Ancient Trees.

If Ye Linyuan's Soul Fruit Tree could also be cultivated to the level of a Nine-Patterned Profound Heaven Treasure, then relying on this Three Soul Fruit Tree, his Law Soul would truly have great potential.

Therefore, Ye Linyuan did not hesitate at all and exchanged the two top-grade Xuan Tian spiritual roots.

Getting back to the main point, after obtaining the treasure he wanted, Ye Linyuan left the Hundred Clans Treasure Vault with satisfaction.

When the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits saw him come out, he did not hesitate at all and took him back to the Holy Temple of the Human Race.

Upon returning to the Human Race Temple, the Ancestor of Myriad Medicines smiled and said, "You have rendered a great service to our human race in this battle. What reward would you like?"

"I would like to ask the Dao Ancestor to take care of these two ancient trees and see if we can cultivate them into a supreme treasure of the Xuan Tian realm."

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, then took out two sacred trees, along with the ancient tree of life soul, and handed them over to the two Dao Ancestors.

After examining them for a moment, Dao Ancestor Wanyao shook his head and said, "These two sacred trees were cultivated at great cost by me, but unfortunately they are difficult to advance to the seventh rank, nor can they be upgraded to a ten-patterned Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure."

"Unless these three Xuan Tian spiritual roots can be completely fused together and transformed into the legendary Three Souls Sacred Tree."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan remained silent for a moment before asking, "If I use the Spirit Refining Technique to refine the essence of two of the ancient trees into one, can I break this limitation?"

"This……"

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines was slightly taken aback. After calculating for a moment, he said in surprise, "Normally speaking, even if the spirit is successfully refined using this method, it would be difficult for it to survive."

"But if I combine this with my unique medicine-cultivating technique and abandon the Great Dao essence condensed by this technique, it might actually succeed."

At this point, the Ancestor of Myriad Medicines said with a solemn expression, "It takes me a million years to condense a complete Great Dao Origin. Are you sure you want to use it on this mere Xuan Tian Ancient Tree?"

Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, knowing how precious the Great Dao Origin condensed by the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines was.

These treasures are of great use in advancing to the seventh-grade top-quality spiritual root. The value of one of them is equivalent to that of a seventh-grade top-quality spiritual herb, something that many Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors dream of.

However, thinking of his Law Soul, Ye Linyuan still decisively said, "If this thing can be promoted to the seventh rank, I might have a sliver of hope to break through to the Fusion stage."

Seeing this, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Medicines nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a hand."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two immediately took action, using the Spirit Refining Technique in conjunction with the Medicine Nourishing Technique to fuse the three ancient trees, ultimately obtaining a ten-patterned Xuan Tian Supreme Treasure, the Three Souls Sacred Tree.

The Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines finally put away the Three Souls Sacred Tree, and said with a very solemn expression: "The Three Souls Fruit Tree is a supreme treasure of the Soul Dao. Every ten thousand years thereafter, it can cultivate a batch of Three Souls Sacred Fruits."

"I will ask the ancestor of the Danling Ancient Clan to refine these Three Soul Sacred Fruits into pills, which should be enough to satisfy your spiritual cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Three Souls Sacred Fruit is a ten-patterned Xuan Tian supreme treasure, its value is extremely precious, and even losing just one of it in the process of refining it into pills would be a huge loss.

Fortunately, Wan Yao has extensive connections. The ancestor of the Danling Ancient Clan was the number one alchemist in the Longevity Heaven Realm and had mastered the legendary alchemy techniques. He could achieve a 90% success rate in refining such a profound treasure pill.

In this way, Ye Linyuan will have a continuous supply of Three Soul Pills in the future, and his soul cultivation will eventually reach the Integration level.

By then, Ye Linyuan might be able to advance his Soul of Laws further and cultivate an even more powerful Primordial Spirit.

After arranging everything, the Ancestor of Myriad Medicines said to Ye Linyuan, "With this item in your possession, your spiritual cultivation will surely increase greatly. From now on, you should cultivate diligently."

"I have already made arrangements with the Hundred Races. As long as you have the strength of a top-tier half-step Integration Realm cultivator, I will send you to stop the birth of the Garuda Demon Emperor."

"At that time, even if someone from the Nine Nether Demon Realm wanted to intervene, they wouldn't be able to spare the time to help."

Upon hearing this, Ye Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines had already arranged everything for him, fearing that his Dao Heart might be troubled.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior, rest assured, my strength will definitely improve greatly after I refine the Chaos Gold."

"Well, let's go."

The Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines waved his hand and said no more.

Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan immediately left the main hall and went directly to the Earth Fire Chamber, where he began refining the Chaos Immortal Gold.

As the most supreme Xuantian treasure, Chaos Immortal Gold contains twelve Xuantian Dao patterns, including those related to time and space, yin and yang, the three powers, and the five elements. Strictly speaking, its value is far greater than that of the Hunyuan Pearl.

Such treasures should not appear in the universe in theory; if we are not mistaken, they should have come from the chaos at the beginning of the universe.

Refining such a treasure is extremely difficult, but fortunately Ye Linyuan's cultivation level is now vastly different from before.

He first used the seventh-order fire vein to refine it into a sword embryo, and then used the Law of Myriad Transformations to forcibly refine the Chaos Immortal Gold. After hundreds of years, he finally refined it completely.

"Chong-"

After successfully refining the Primordial Sword Embryo, Ye Linyuan immediately felt that his magical power had undergone an unprecedented qualitative change.

Ye Linyuan's already extremely powerful Myriad Transformations Magic Power far exceeded the limit of the ninth level of Void Refinement at this moment, breaking the heavenly punishment between Void Refinement and Body Integration, and touching the legendary Dao Integration Realm.

"Humph--"

Ye Linyuan tried to activate his magic power, but found that cracks had appeared on his palms, indicating that his physical body could no longer withstand the extremely powerful magic power.

Fortunately, the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Art has a strong restorative ability, and the crack was quickly and completely healed.

"Breaking through the limits of the Xuan Tian realm, possessing supreme magical power comparable to the combined body."

Ye Linyuan spoke slowly, his eyes filled with surprise, yet also a hint of solemnity. (End of Chapter)
