Cangling Immortal Clan

Ye Linyuan did not delay and calmly stepped into the Immortal Palace. He immediately discovered that the Nine Clouds Dao Ancestor, the Qilin Ancestor, the Xuanwu Ancestor, and others from the Immortal Deer Clan had already arrived.

At this moment, the two Dao Ancestors were receiving everyone. Seeing Ye Linyuan return, they smiled and said, "The day of the grand ceremony is approaching, and the main person has finally returned."

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting."

Ye Linyuan politely cupped his hands and greeted everyone with a smile.

Facing this future invincible Dao Ancestor, everyone present did not show any disrespect and immediately returned the greeting. Then the Qilin Ancestor smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, your Dao pervades all heavens. It seems that your cultivation has been thoroughly consolidated."

"If it weren't for your protection, I might not be where I am today."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly, and then said, "After today's ceremony, you may all seek me out for spirit refining, but you will need to bring your own materials for it."

"We are aware of that."

The assembled Dao Ancestors present smiled slightly. Many of them had lived in ancient times and naturally knew the wonders of the Spirit Refining Technique, so they had long prepared materials for it.

Seeing this, Ye Linyuan said nothing more, but went to the center of the Immortal Palace and quietly waited for the start of this fusion ceremony.

With Ye Linyuan's return, the date for this grand ceremony of the Dao Unity finally arrived.

On this day, beyond the heavens, one after another, powerful Dao Ancestors of the Integration Realm, who shook the heavens, pierced through the sky and offered up priceless treasures.

"Nine-headed dragon mastiffs - a pair of jade exquisite ones from the South China Sea."

“The Bifang Ancient Clan presents a furnace of Jade Divine Fire.”

"The Golden-Winged Roc Clan presents you with an Immortal Golden Sword."

Outside the celestial palace, the sound of vote counting echoed.

The Dao Ancestors who came to offer their congratulations were all incredibly generous. Any one of these treasures would be a rare and extraordinary item in the outside world, at least a quasi-creation immortal weapon level treasure.

As one Dao Ancestor after another arrived, finally a heavyweight figure arrived.

A streak of light appeared in the sky, and the Primordial Demon Ancestor arrived in a magnificent chariot. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Taiyuan on your attainment of Dao and the formation of the Body. I am here to offer you a small gift to express my gratitude."

The monk in charge of registration took the treasure, glanced at it, and couldn't help but show a look of shock before loudly chanting.

"The Ancient Heavenly Demon Clan presents one Heavenly Demon Sacred Stone, three bottles of Heavenly Sacred Elixir, and one Heaven-Splitting Sacred Spear."

"Three rare treasures of creation, as expected of one of the top ten races, they really know how to be generous."

In an instant, a look of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

The treasures that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor brought out were simply too precious. The Heaven-Splitting Holy Spear was a creation immortal weapon, and its value was beyond question.

The Heavenly Saint Elixir is a unique secret medicine of the Heavenly Demon Clan, which can increase the success rate of breaking through to the half-step Integration stage by 30%. However, the other party took out three bottles at once, which shows how generous the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor is.

As for the Heavenly Demon Sacred Stone, it is a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Demon Clan. This item can greatly enhance the physical strength of a Nascent Soul Dao Ancestor, thereby increasing the chances of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even for Ye Linyuan, these treasures were quite precious, since he didn't have many seventh-tier rare treasures.

The fact that the gift alone was of such high quality shows that the Heavenly Demon lineage is truly generous.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan went to greet him personally, and politely stood up, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you've gone to so much trouble."

After greeting the Celestial Demon Ancestor, another magnificent figure arrived from beyond the heavens.

Then, the True Dragon Ancestor and Ao Xuan strolled over, smiling as they said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, how have you been?"

"I have also prepared a small gift to congratulate you on attaining enlightenment and achieving the Dao, so that you may enjoy eternal bliss from now on."

As soon as the True Dragon Ancestor finished speaking, he conjured three rare treasures with a flick of his sleeve.

They consist of a True Dragon Bloodstone, a Dragon Transformation Sacred Fruit, and a Creation Immortal Weapon, making them three times more precious than the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor's.

"Fellow Taoist, please sit down."

Ye Linyuan treated them with the usual courtesy, but before they could exchange pleasantries, two groups of figures appeared in the void.

They are the Celestial Phoenix Clan and the Kunpeng Clan. As one of the ten strongest clans, the Kunpeng Clan and the Celestial Phoenix Clan are powerful, but they also have their own desires for the two great Dao techniques of the human race. This time, they have both brought generous gifts.

Although this gift cannot compare to the riches of the True Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Clan, both powerful clans have brought a rare treasure of creation.

As usual, Ye Linyuan politely entertained the two progenitors and was preparing to start the exchange conference when he discovered that several figures had arrived uninvited.

The newcomers were three Dao Ancestors of the Celestial Race, led by the Celestial Race's Great Elder, Ancestor Tianjin, whose cultivation was at the late stage of the Integration Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyuan's Integration Ceremony is indeed lively, but why didn't you send an invitation to my Celestial Race?"

"You should know that tens of millions of years ago, our two races were once one family."

Ancestor Tianjin slowly descended, a smile appearing on his lips.

Upon seeing this, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits immediately transmitted his voice to Ye Linyuan, saying, "I'm afraid the visitor is up to no good. You've only recently broken through, and your strength hasn't reached its peak yet. Let me go and deal with him."

"No need, I can handle it myself."

Ye Linyuan shook his head, then said calmly, "I'm afraid you're not here to offer birthday wishes."

"Hahaha."

Tianjin Daozu clasped his hands together and laughed, then nodded and said, "I have heard that the Spirit Refining Technique is so powerful that it amazes even immortals. I would like to learn a thing or two from it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Ye Linyuan, clearly as the Dao Ancestors of various races wanted to see the true quality of this future invincible Dao Ancestor.

Ye Linyuan knew very well that the Celestial Race wanted to test his strength. If he was not strong enough, the Celestial Race might nip him in the bud before he could grow up.

Even if we can't kill it, suppressing it will at least eliminate a major future enemy.

Therefore, Ye Linyuan understood that he had to show enough strength in today's battle, or at least demonstrate the means to escape from the hands of a Nascent Soul Dao Ancestor.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan's eyes flashed with coldness, and then he said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then I will have a match with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan took a step and soared into the air. With a flick of his sleeve, a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky appeared and pressed down.

This is the Myriad Transformations of the Heavenly Hand, or more accurately, the Myriad Paths of the Heavenly Hand.

As Ye Linyuan activated it, the Myriad Dao Heavenly Hand, formed by countless Great Dao Laws, crashed down, its power almost as strong as the Great Ascension Creation Divine Power.

"not good!"

The moment Ye Linyuan made his move, Tianjin Daozu's expression changed slightly.

He originally thought that Ye Linyuan's combat strength was only at the late stage of the Fusion Realm, since he had only just broken through to the Fusion Realm and even if he had completed two or three Spirit Refinement sessions, it would be difficult for him to fully unleash his power.

Therefore, he was somewhat overconfident. At this moment, it was too late to dodge in time, so he could only use his supernatural powers to resist the attack.

But Ye Linyuan now possesses the combat power of a perfect Dao Integration Realm cultivator. Even if he only has a basic perfect Dao Integration Realm cultivation level, it is still something that a late-stage Integration Realm cultivator cannot withstand.

As Ye Linyuan grabbed it with his palm, an endless sword domain manifested and condensed around him, transforming into a sword of myriad paths that cleaved through the sky and struck the man's body on the spot. To completely establish his authority, Ye Linyuan used all his strength in this move, instantly piercing through the man's body and leaving an incredibly terrifying wound.

"what--"

Suffering a sudden and severe blow, Tianjin Daozu let out a miserable scream, suddenly unleashing his ultimate power to break free from the Wandao Huntian Hand, and then tore through the sky and disappeared into the depths of the endless void.

Faced with Tianjin Daozu's escape, Ye Linyuan did not chase after him. He simply watched his retreating figure calmly and said with a cold smile, "If there is a next time, I'm afraid Taihong will have to personally intervene to save you."

Tianjin Daozu did not reply, clearly terrified by Ye Linyuan's attack.

In fact, once you reach the late stage of the Fusion Realm, it becomes very difficult to kill them completely. Although Ye Linyuan severely injured his opponent with one strike, it was only because the opponent was careless and Ye Linyuan used his strongest attack that he was able to do so.

If the opponent is not so careless, it would take at least several hundred moves for the two sides to determine a winner.

A killing move that condenses all the Dao into a single sword is enough to threaten a Perfected Integration Realm cultivator, but with Ye Linyuan's current cultivation level of just entering the Integration Realm, he can only use it as a last resort.

Only then did the people in the celestial palace come to their senses, and each of them showed a look of shock.

"His strength is probably comparable to the perfected Integration Realm cultivator, capable of severely injuring Tianjin Old Ghost with a single blow."

"To have such strength right after breaking through? The Spirit Refining Technique has such miraculous effects?"

"It's probably not just that; it's likely also related to the Chaos Dao he cultivated."

The Dao Ancestors discussed among themselves. By this time, they had guessed that Ye Linyuan had cultivated the Chaos Dao. Only by cultivating the Chaos Dao could they explain why Ye Linyuan was able to break through to the Integration Realm.

After all, the laws he cultivated were too powerful, and he had no other choice but to merge with the Great Dao of Chaos.

"With this person's talent, if he were to cultivate to the perfect state of the Integration Realm, he could probably become the next Immortal Venerable."

Within the Immortal Palace, the various Dao Ancestors at the Integration Stage harbored different thoughts; some were worried, while others were overjoyed, and all felt a degree of apprehension towards Ye Linyuan.

With the uninvited guests out of the way, the subsequent fusion ceremony proceeded smoothly. Ye Linyuan personally chatted with his fellow Daoists, and the banquet was quite harmonious.

After several rounds of drinks, Ye Linyuan exchanged a glance with the two elders, then stood up, raised his wine cup, and said to everyone, "It is a rare occasion for everyone to gather here today."

"I would like to take this opportunity to make a deal with you all."

The Dao Ancestors present had already discussed this beforehand and knew that the main event was about to begin.

One of the Nascent Soul Dao Ancestors spoke up, asking directly, "I've heard that you're willing to refine our spirits. Is that true?"

“That’s true.” Ye Linyuan nodded and said with a smile, “I can refine spirits for you all, but you will need to pay a certain price.”

"What price?"

One of the Dao Ancestors who had achieved the Integration Realm spoke, revealing a solemn expression.

Ye Linyuan smiled slightly, then said, "If you all seek me out for spirit refining, you will need to raise the necessary materials yourselves."

"Furthermore, depending on the quality of the materials used for refining spirits, I will charge a fee based on the energy of creation."

"Among them, a low-grade seventh-level Spirit Refining treasure requires one portion of Creation Qi, a mid-grade seventh-level Spirit Refining treasure requires two portions of Creation Qi, and a high-grade seventh-level Spirit Refining treasure requires three portions of Creation Qi."

"As for the Refining Spirit Creation Treasure, it requires collecting ten portions of Creation Qi."

"Do we need the energy of creation?"

The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The Qi of Creation is valuable, but less so than rare treasures of creation. After all, whether using the Qi of Creation to cultivate spiritual herbs or to forge divine weapons of creation, there is always a possibility of failure.

A single Rank 7 Low-grade Creation Treasure is generally worth as much as two portions of Creation Qi.

Although the primordial energy of the Eternal Heaven is very scarce, it is not too difficult for a Dao Ancestor who has merged with the Dao to obtain a few portions of primordial energy.

In particular, the ten most powerful clans possess ninety percent of the primordial energy nurtured by the Eternal Heaven Realm, and have likely accumulated hundreds of strands of primordial energy over tens of millions of years.

If it is just a high-grade rare treasure of the seventh level of spirit refinement, even if it is refined seven times, it will only yield twenty-one parts of the Qi of Creation. And most people who can withstand seven spirit refinements are at the peak of the Integration Realm.

For such a being, it is not difficult to produce twenty-one portions of the primordial energy.

Although refining the Creation Treasure requires collecting ten portions of Creation Qi.

However, the treasures of creation are so precious that most fusion races only have one or two, and many fusion races don't even have one.

Those who are willing to sacrifice the treasures of creation and refine the spirit probably don't lack those ten portions of the Qi of creation.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Linyuan spoke again: "In addition, I need the Primordial Treasure as a material for refining spirits."

"If any of you have suitable treasures, I will not only refine them for you for free, but also purchase them at a high price using the Qi of Creation."

Upon hearing this, none of the people present spoke.

The treasures of creation are incredibly precious; even hundreds of units of primordial energy couldn't buy just one. They would never trade them away unless absolutely necessary.

Upon seeing this, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines stood up and said, "To be honest, not only does Taiyuan need materials for refining spirits today, but I also need them."

"Now that I have refined my spirit, my skills in cultivating spirit plants have improved even further. If any of you have any creation treasures that can enhance your skills in cultivating spirit plants, or if you have any items that Daoist Taiyuan needs, you are welcome to come and trade with me."

"As long as your treasures are valuable enough, I promise that once I cultivate the Breakthrough Dao Flower, I will give it to you as a priority."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

The Harmony Flower is a key resource for breaking through to the Perfect Harmony stage, and only the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines in the entire Eternal Heaven Realm can cultivate it.

Over tens of millions of years, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines has cultivated three seventh-grade top-quality Dao Harmony Flowers. It can be said that two people present broke through to the Perfection of the Integration Stage with the help of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines' Dao Harmony Flowers.

It should be noted that since the end of the Primordial Era, the top-tier artifacts in this universe are no longer what they used to be.

Resources for those who have broken through to the late stage of the Integration Realm in the Eternal Life Heaven are now almost extinct, and can only be found in small quantities in the relics of some ancient god-kings.

The only one capable of cultivating such a rare treasure is the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines, but cultivating this rare treasure requires extremely high-quality medicinal materials.

Without enough high-quality medicinal seeds, the success rate of cultivation is actually not high. Generally, out of ten rank 7 superior medicinal seeds, only one or two can be cultivated into rank 7 top-quality ones.

As for seventh-grade top-quality medicinal plants, they are almost extinct in this universe because the potential of spiritual roots diminishes with each generation.

A top-grade primordial spiritual root mother plant from ancient times can only produce medicinal seeds of medium to high quality at the seventh rank.

If the Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines' spiritual plant cultivation skills were to advance further, and the success rate of cultivating the Harmony Flower were to double or triple, the chances of everyone present breaking through to the late stage of the Harmony Realm or even the perfect Harmony Realm would greatly increase.
Thinking of this, everyone was immediately tempted, and sure enough, a few people were willing to take out their seventh-grade top-quality creation treasures and talk to them.

After examining them, Ye Linyuan found that none of these treasures were suitable as his spiritual refining materials. However, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines found a creation treasure that was suitable for him—the Primordial Wood Origin.

"There isn't a single creation treasure that can directly increase combat power. It seems that the various races are still wary of me and unwilling to let me obtain a creation treasure that can enhance my combat power."

After examining these rare treasures, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but shake his head.

He wasn't after spirit-refining techniques to enhance his combat power, but none of the treasures these people offered tempted him. (End of Chapter)
