Cangling Immortal Clan

After bidding farewell to the Spirit Ancestor, Ye Linyuan immediately returned to the Holy Land of the Human Race with the two Dao Ancestors.
Because the Heart of Life was so important, Ye Linyuan even brought the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines to the Chaos Nest.

This spirit refining process took decades. After the refining was successful, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines' spiritual plant skills underwent a qualitative change, reaching a level almost comparable to the lower grade of the eighth rank.

With his eighth-grade low-level spiritual plant cultivation skills, combined with the enhancement of the Great Dao's wondrous techniques, the spiritual plants of the Dao Ancestor of Myriad Medicines were already almost comparable to those of the eighth-grade mid-level spiritual plant cultivators.

Of course, this is based on the premise of cultivating a seventh-grade top-quality spiritual medicine. With his perfected cultivation level, the possibility of successfully cultivating an eighth-grade spiritual medicine is probably close to zero.

However, this was enough for the Dao Ancestor of Myriad Medicines. His spiritual plant cultivation skills, comparable to a mid-grade eighth-order, gave him great confidence in cultivating a world-class treasure spiritual herb.

"With my current spiritual plant cultivation skills, combined with the ancient world of Taiyuan that you have created, I will be able to cultivate the creation spiritual root you need within a million years at the latest."

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines revealed a satisfied expression, clearly having considerable confidence in cultivating a top-grade creation spiritual root.

Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan smiled and said, "Then, after a few million more years of accumulation, the foundation of our human race will surely increase dramatically."

Next, Ye Linyuan did not hesitate any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines, he began to go into seclusion to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao.

This time, Ye Linyuan gained immense benefits from comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Having successfully deciphered six consecutive volumes of fragments of the Great Dao True Explanation, Ye Linyuan's understanding and comprehension of the laws have more than doubled, and his speed of comprehending the laws of the Great Dao will surely double again in the future.

Most importantly, after successfully comprehending these six volumes of the Great Dao True Explanation fragments, the amount of creation energy he needs to cultivate the Great Dao has been greatly reduced.

"The amount of primordial energy required for cultivating the Great Dao has been reduced to one-third of its original amount."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, then began a deep seclusion for cultivation.

As time went by, a million years passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Linyuan was fourteen million years old.

"After millions of years of cultivation, I have mastered one thousand and thirty-one Great Daos."

"His primordial spirit has also made further progress, taking a step beyond the perfected state of the Integration Realm, and is only one more step away from completing the ninth level of the Nine Refinements of the Divine Soul."

"In addition, I have also cultivated the major Daos such as time and space, yin and yang, the three powers, and the five elements to perfection."

Ye Linyuan murmured slowly, constantly assessing his own strength, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Although he has not yet broken through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm, his strength has undergone a qualitative change, which can be considered as taking another half step above the limit of the Invincible Dao Ancestor.

Although this strength is not yet comparable to the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, it is already quite close. Facing an invincible Dao Ancestor like the Celestial Ancestor, Ye Linyuan felt that he could be second to none.

If it were an invincible Dao Ancestor like the Ancient God Emperor, who was at the bottom of the hierarchy, Ye Linyuan would even be confident that he could fight three against one.

"My strength is already above that of the Invincible Dao Ancestor, and I am not far from the half-step Mahayana realm of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, estimating that the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's strength should be at the half-step Mahayana level.

The reason why the Nine Nether Demon Emperor is only half a step into Mahayana is because the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's primordial spirit level is very high, and his divine soul realm is estimated to have reached the Mahayana Immortal Venerable level.

However, as a demonic thought severed by the Immortal Venerable of Longevity, his physical strength and cultivation of the Great Dao were limited to the Integration level, so he could only be considered a half-step Mahayana Immortal Venerable, far from being a true Mahayana Immortal Venerable.

This is precisely why the Nine Nether Demon Emperor was able to crush the Invincible Dao Ancestor.

After all, the title "Invincible Dao Ancestor" proves that these beings have reached the limit of Dao Ancestor, and at this level, they are absolutely invincible.

Only the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, who has cultivated a Mahayana primordial spirit and has one foot in the Mahayana realm, can completely crush these invincible Dao Ancestors.

"At the current rate, it will take me at least two million years to cultivate the Three Thousand Great Daos and break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm."

"By then, I will possess strength comparable to a half-step Mahayana cultivator, and I will not be afraid even when facing the Nine Nether Demon Emperor."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He withdrew his thoughts and then left the seclusion to arrive at the sacred Immortal Medicine Garden.

At this moment, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines was cultivating a spiritual herb. Upon seeing Ye Linyuan arrive, he smiled and said, "Wait a moment while I cultivate this spiritual herb."

Ye Linyuan remained silent, simply watching the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines unleash his divine powers.

As the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines activated his magic, countless life energies surged into the pure white lotus before him.

Then the white lotus trembled slightly, and an incomparably powerful aura slowly emerged, eventually transforming into a primordial lotus woven with the perfect Dao.

"The Primordial Treasure, the Pure White Lotus."

Ye Linyuan murmured, unable to contain his delight, "Senior's skill in cultivating spiritual plants is probably unprecedented and unparalleled in this universe."

"Without your help, would I be where I am today?"

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines smiled slightly, then plucked the lotus platform of the Pure and Turbid White Lotus, and also took out the two great creation treasures, the Bodhi Seed and the Longevity Wood Heart, and handed them to Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan took the three rare treasures, a look of surprise and delight appearing in his heart.

These three rare treasures are incredibly profound. Although Ye Linyuan's strength will not increase significantly after refining them, his vitality, comprehension, and potential will be greatly enhanced.

Once he refines the spirit, Ye Linyuan's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and reaching the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm within ten or twenty million years may not be a problem.

Just as Ye Linyuan was overjoyed and preparing to immediately go to refine the spirit, he was stopped by the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines.

"There are two more things I need to tell you in advance."

With a solemn expression, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines began to explain the current situation to Ye Linyuan.

After hearing this, Ye Linyuan's brows furrowed slightly.

The two things mentioned by the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines were one good and one bad. The good thing was that the main ingredient of the Soul Refining Pill had been successfully cultivated, and most of the auxiliary ingredients had been gathered. At the latest, the Soul Refining Pill could be refined within ten thousand years.

The bad thing is that there isn't enough primordial energy left.

Because the primordial energy produced by the Eternal Heaven Realm is limited, and Ye Linyuan consumes too much primordial energy while cultivating the Myriad Paths Heavenly Technique.

He wanted to break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm, which originally required three thousand strands of Creation Qi. Even if it was reduced by two-thirds, it might still require more than a thousand strands of Creation Qi.

Cultivating top-grade creation medicines also requires a large amount of creation energy. Therefore, after deducting the creation energy that Ye Linyuan needed to break through to the late stage of the Integration Realm, the human race's reserves of creation energy were almost depleted.

"The primordial energy of the Eternal Heaven Realm is limited. The ten powerful clans have begun to control the outflow of primordial energy. If you want to cultivate ten thousand Great Daos, I'm afraid you won't be able to gather enough primordial energy through peaceful means."

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines spoke slowly, a solemn look in his eyes.

Ye Linyuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "If I obtain the remaining three fragments of the Great Dao True Explanation, I should only need a small amount of Creation Qi to cultivate the perfect Chaos Great Dao."

The Dao Ancestor of Myriad Medicines nodded and then said, "Then let's wait another ten thousand years until we have gathered the main ingredients for the Soul Refining Pill. Then we will refine it into a pill and use it to exchange for the fragments of the Great Dao True Understanding."

Having said all he could, Ye Linyuan said no more.

He returned to his secluded chamber and began refining the three rare treasures: the Pure White Lotus, the Longevity Wood Heart, and the Bodhi Seed. Approximately a thousand years later, Ye Linyuan had refined all three treasures, and his own foundation finally underwent a qualitative change.

After refining the three rare treasures, Ye Linyuan's strength did not undergo a qualitative change; the greatest improvement came from the enhancement of his vitality and recovery ability.

After refining the Longevity Wood Heart, Ye Linyuan's vitality and recovery ability underwent a qualitative change, almost reaching half the effect of the immortality technique.

With the incredible restorative power brought by the various water, wood, and life attributes of the Myriad Dao Heavenly Technique, Ye Linyuan's healing ability is almost 70-80% of that of the Ancient God Emperor.

"The qualitative change in my vitality and recovery ability has further enhanced my ability to fight on the long run, and I can now attempt to cultivate the ninth level of the Nine Refinements of the Divine Soul."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his face.

Of course, compared to the improvement in vitality, the enhancement brought by the Bodhi Seed is also crucial. With the Bodhi Seed's boost, it is estimated that it won't be long before Ye Linyuan will be able to cultivate all kinds of myriad divine abilities to perfection.

Once his weaknesses are completely addressed, Ye Linyuan should have the strength of a half-step Mahayana level once he breaks through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

Furthermore, the refining of the Pure White Lotus completely purified the demonic nature within the Devouring Demon Lord, ensuring that he would not be in danger of completely succumbing to demonic possession until his cultivation level broke through to the Mahayana stage.

The Devouring Demon Lord, who has completely suppressed his demonic nature, will also become a great help to Ye Linyuan.

Because the Devouring Demon Lord is another side of Ye Linyuan, born from the endless turbid energy produced by Ye Linyuan's cultivation, and also cultivates the earth-shattering Myriad Paths Demonic Art.

Now, the Devouring Demon Lord has absorbed a massive amount of resources from the Asura Clan, and his cultivation has reached the same level as Ye Linyuan's. His combat power is also comparable to that of an invincible Dao Ancestor like the Ancient God Emperor.

"With my current strength, plus the demonic body of the Devouring Demon Emperor, I might be able to face the Nine Nether Demon Emperor..."

Ye Linyuan murmured, but quickly shook his head.

The strength of a half-step Mahayana cultivator is too great. With his current strength, he can only protect himself at best. A direct confrontation would only result in defeat and death.

"It will be soon. In another two million years, I will be able to break through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm. At that time, I will be able to stand at the pinnacle of the universe and be fearless of all enemies and threats."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, then continued his seclusion to comprehend the supernatural power.

After refining the Bodhi Seed, Ye Linyuan's understanding of supernatural powers improved significantly, and he finally began to break through in his comprehension of supernatural powers.

The Myriad Sword Techniques, which had been accumulated over many years, finally broke through its limits after this comprehension, reaching the realm of perfect creation divine power.

This breakthrough has elevated Ye Linyuan's attack methods to a new level, giving him the ability to threaten the Nine Nether Demon Emperor.

Just as Ye Linyuan was preparing to continue his cultivation and wait for the Soul Refining Pill and auxiliary medicines to be gathered, he suddenly felt an extreme sense of unease.

"wrong!"

Ye Linyuan awoke from his seclusion and suddenly felt uneasy.

He tried to calculate with his fingers, but found that he could not figure out what was about to happen: "My Dao Heart is warning that a crisis is approaching."

"But in the Eternal Heaven Realm, who could pose such a threat to me?"

Ye Linyuan muttered to himself, his expression suddenly changing drastically as he exclaimed, "This is bad! The Nine Heavens Ancient Realm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, tearing through the void and disappearing outside the Eternal Heaven Realm.

At the same time, the two Dao Ancestors of the human race, and even all the Dao Ancestors of the entire Eternal Life Heaven Realm, sensed this aura and looked in the direction he had left.

"Why is the Taiyuan Dao Ancestor making such a big fuss?" someone asked.

"Judging from the direction he went, it seems to be the Ancient Realm of the Nine Heavens."

"Could it be that the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm has been threatened?" A Dao Ancestor of the Xuanwu Clan spoke up, but then sneered, "The human race is now ranked among the top three of the ten strongest races, and the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm is the hometown of Dao Ancestor Taiyuan."

"Who dares to be so presumptuous as to threaten this man's hometown?"

“There is one person,” said Tian Jin Daozu, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Race, his expression rather cold. “Only he could have done it.”

"..."

Just as everyone was discussing this, Ye Linyuan had already torn through the sky and arrived outside the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm remained peaceful and serene, untouched by any attacks or threats.

"Thankfully, we've made it in time!"

Seeing that the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm was unobstructed, Ye Linyuan took a deep breath and was about to step into it when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

In an instant, the void outside the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm suddenly cracked open, and then an ancient sword that reached the heavens and the earth pierced through the void, striking the Zhou Tian Star Array of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

In an instant, the entire Zhou Tian Star Array shattered, but the sword energy continued to pierce through the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm, causing unprecedented damage to the Nine Palaces Heavenly Evolution Array of the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

"Nine Netherworld Demon Emperor, how dare you!"

Ye Linyuan was immediately enraged. Seeing that the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm was unable to resist, he immediately activated the Myriad Transformations Sword Technique with all his might and slashed into the void rift.

At that very instant, the crack in the void suddenly widened, and then the Nine Nether Demon Emperor calmly stepped out.

He was dressed in a black robe, revealing his true form as a primordial spirit spanning billions of miles. He strolled calmly through the void, and with a flick of his sleeve, billions of beads gathered at his fingertips, finally crashing down on Ye Linyuan.

"Star River Finger!"

This is an unparalleled divine power, created by the Immortal Venerable of Longevity. With a flick of his sleeve, billions of stars gather, and when he casually throws it out, it is like a silver river crashing down.

The power of this strike was boundless and terrifying. Even the billions of sword lights of the Myriad Sword Techniques could not withstand it and were shattered by the countless stars in the Milky Way.

Its remaining power was invincible, and it smashed down with unparalleled force, instantly sending Ye Linyuan flying, bleeding profusely.

"If you escape, I will completely destroy the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm."

Having repelled Ye Linyuan with a single move, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor spoke calmly, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

Ye Linyuan immediately steadied himself, his eyes filled with boundless coldness.

The timing of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's arrival was too perfect, and it happened just before Ye Linyuan broke through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm.

If Ye Linyuan were given another two million years, even if he were no match for this person, Ye Linyuan would not be afraid to fight him at his peak.

Do you think I'll give you the opportunity to continue becoming stronger?

Seemingly sensing Ye Linyuan's thoughts, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor calmly said, "In today's battle, either you die here, or I destroy the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm and hunt you down to the edge of the universe."

"Even if it takes ten million years, fifty million years, or even a hundred million years, I will not give you the chance to break through to the late stage of the Fusion Realm." (End of Chapter)
