Cangling Immortal Clan

The one who made the move was the Devouring Demon Lord, and dealing with such malevolent energy and demonic thoughts was precisely his forte.

Ye Linyuan left the physical body of the Chaos Dragon Hound and brought out the primordial spirit of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, suppressing it within the Myriad Dao Immortal Tower.

Even the Immortal Venerable of Longevity couldn't completely destroy it back then; he could only suppress it completely. This shows that such a primordial spirit, comparable to a Mahayana cultivator, is extremely difficult to kill.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Immortal Venerable of Immortality is relatively weak in combat.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, the Immortal Venerable of Longevity mainly cultivates luck and the Great Dao of Longevity. His cultivation level is indeed not weak, but his attack power and combat strength are not particularly strong.

The reason why they were able to wipe out the Primordial Era was mainly because the gap between the Mahayana Immortal Venerable and the Integration Dao Ancestor was too great.

This is an almost insurmountable barrier; even if the Immortal Venerable of Longevity is not skilled in killing, he is still capable of sweeping away all great enemies.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, if he had not cultivated the Chaos Great Dao and the Myriad Dao Heavenly Technique, even if he cultivated the Bright Moon Technique of the Vast Ocean to the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage, he would at most be at the level of an invincible Dao Ancestor.

Even with the aid of the Spirit Refining Technique and various fortuitous opportunities, they are no different from ants when facing a Mahayana Immortal Venerable.

This is an insurmountable barrier; only the ultimate Dao, such as the Chaos Dao, can allow him to cross this obstacle.

"With the power of my Chaos Dao, after breaking through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm, I will be able to obliterate the primordial spirit of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor."

Ye Linyuan's mind was in turmoil, and he then put away the Myriad Transformation Immortal Pagoda.

He looked at the Chaos Dragon Hound's physical body and couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

This Chaos Dragon Hound has an immortal physical body. If it can be refined into a puppet or avatar, then Ye Linyuan will have an extra guarantee when he goes directly to the Chaos in the future.

However, with his current strength, he is not yet able to completely refine it, so he can only put it away and wait until he breaks through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm.

He calmly put away the Chaos Dragon Mastiff's physical body, then took stock of his gains from the trip, but found no innate spiritual light.

Ye Linyuan was not surprised by this, and simply looked calmly into the distance.

At this moment, the Dao Ancestors from all sides appeared not far away, and they all bowed to Ye Linyuan and said: "Thank you, Ancestor Yuan. Ancestor Yuan has quelled the demonic chaos and suppressed the great calamity of chaos. This is a blessing for all the heavens."

"On behalf of all living beings, we thank Ancestor Yuan. May Ancestor Yuan enjoy eternal bliss and may the Great Dao reach the heavens."

"Ah."

Ye Linyuan nodded calmly, without saying anything, but simply gestured for everyone to leave.

After everyone left, the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits looked at Ye Linyuan and asked, "Did you find the innate source of spiritual light?"

"No." Ye Linyuan shook his head.

The Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits frowned and couldn't help but say, "How could this be? Logically speaking, the innate spiritual light should not have disappeared without a trace."

"The innate spiritual light is gone; there's only one possibility."

Ye Linyuan spoke calmly and said indifferently, "This item has already been taken away."

"How can this be?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Ye Linyuan, however, remained calm and said, "I know where it is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linyuan unleashed his great power, piercing through the universe with the Great Dao of Endless Time and Space, deducing and retracing ancient scenes of time and space, and some past scenes gradually appeared.

Everyone looked up and saw a phantom appear, playing out various past events, in which time was constantly rewinding.

They witnessed the struggle for the Dao by Mo Yuan Demon Lord, the great calamity of Ye Linyuan's fusion, the old scene of the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits proving the Dao, and the beginning and end of the split between the Celestial Beings and the Primordial Demons.

They witnessed the final battle of the ancient times, the rise of the Immortal Venerable, and the old scene of the ancient gods vying for supremacy.

Ultimately, this force permeated the entire river of time, from ancient times to the very end.

They saw two universes separate and glimpse an unimaginable silhouette from the ancient past.

"It's Him!"

Ye Linyuan's pupils gleamed slightly as he took a step out of this universe, eventually arriving at the crevice between two universes.

Within this cosmic crevice, in an invisible space, a figure resembling a god-emperor sat calmly, smiling as he looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "You've arrived."

"I've arrived," Ye Linyuan said calmly, "Ancestor of Time Spirits."

"it's me."

The Time Spirit Ancestor spoke slowly, revealing a sigh.

He scrutinized Ye Linyuan carefully, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "I have glimpsed a corner of the future, witnessed your rise, and witnessed an invincible immortal attaining enlightenment."

"Unfortunately, the opportunities of heaven and earth take precedence, and the innate primordial spiritual light is my only chance to attain enlightenment. Therefore, I interfered with the future river of time and refined the innate primordial spiritual light into my chance to attain enlightenment."

"Unfortunately, without becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the price of rashly interfering with the river of time is almost unbearable."

"I changed the established history and broke through the realm of Mahayana Immortal Venerable, but I also caused the birth of the multiverse and was eternally trapped here."

The progenitor of the Time Spirits recounted the past in detail.

As the progenitor of the Time Spirits, born from the origin of time, he was the first and only innate deity in this universe, and also the first person in this universe to achieve perfect unity.

After mastering the Great Dao of Time, the Time Spirit Ancestor was able to glimpse the River of Time and see the future development and opportunities of this universe.

Ultimately, it broke through the vast river of time and saw all sorts of future scenarios.

He saw that the Immortal Venerable of Longevity could break through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm, and he also saw that Ye Linyuan would become the second Great Ascension Immortal Venerable in this universe.

However, he was extremely wary and fearful of Ye Linyuan, the future Mahayana Immortal Venerable.

Because the Great Dao of Time is too powerful, the Primordial Spiritual Light is the only opportunity for him to achieve enlightenment, so he must compete with Ye Linyuan for the Primordial Spiritual Light.

However, he was also very clear that if he allowed Ye Linyuan to grow into a weapon spirit, he would not only be Ye Linyuan's opponent, but he might even be eliminated by the Immortal Venerable of Longevity before he could live past the Primordial Era.

Thus, he conceived an evil plan: to obtain the innate spiritual light before Ye Linyuan and the Immortal Venerable of Longevity attained enlightenment, so that he could break through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm first and thus break the deadlock.

However, the innate spiritual light has its own destiny, and it will only be born in the future river of time, and it will be born in Ye Linyuan's body.

Unable to obtain it in advance, he chose to interfere with time and space ahead of time, seizing the innate spiritual light from the future river of time.

How can interference in the long river of time go unpunished without paying a price?

If one is a Great Immortal, then after paying some price, one can still bear this karma from the river of time.

However, the Ancestor of Time Spirit was only at the Perfected Integration stage at that time. Even if he obtained the innate spiritual light to break through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm, the price he paid was something he could not bear.

He successfully interfered with Ye Linyuan's growth trajectory, seizing his innate spiritual light to break through to the Great Ascension stage ahead of time, but the price was the birth of a multiverse.

This universe is the one Ye Linyuan cultivates in, while the original universe is the universe that developed normally in the past.

As the being that caused the birth of the multiverse, Shi Ling Dao Zu was also trapped in the gap between the two universes, and could never leave the spacetime boundary where the two universes were born.

As for Ye Linyuan, the one whose fate was interfered with, his destiny also took a dramatic turn.

In the original destiny of the universe, Ye Linyuan was the reincarnation of the second world master of the Refining Void Realm. He was born with a body of ten absolutes and used the Refining Spirit Technique to fight his way to the pinnacle of the universe.

However, due to the interference of the Time Spirit Ancestor, the entire universe underwent tremendous changes, which also caused the Spirit Refining Technique to prematurely recognize the Lord of Haotian Realm as its master.

This resulted in Ye Linyuan only reaching the Golden Core stage in his first life, and the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm also attracted the Black Tide Calamity, making his cultivation path ten or a hundred times more difficult.

"Rashly interfering with forbidden power has brought me unbearable calamity."

The Dao Ancestor of Time Spirit spoke slowly and deliberately, then looked at Ye Linyuan and smiled, "Fortunately, in the face of the long river of time, the universe is like a dream, and its birth and death are but a thought away."

"As long as I kill you and destroy this altered anomaly, the new universe will collapse like a bubble, and I will naturally escape and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Ye Linyuan fell silent. He calmly looked into the distance at his own primordial spirit universe, and then said indifferently, "The multiverse is born of variables, but reality and illusion are just a thought away."

"If I were to destroy you, the original universe and history would vanish into nothingness, and this universe would take my current cultivation trajectory as its reality."

Ye Linyuan murmured slowly, realizing that he had reached a turning point in history.

If the Ancient Ancestor of Time Spirit wins this battle, then the derivative universe he came from will turn into nothingness.

At that time, the history of the real universe will become that the Time Spirit stole the innate original spiritual light and broke through to the Great Ascension Golden Immortal realm to ascend.

As for the birth and destruction of the multiverse, it is merely an end to the path of the Time Spirit Ancestor.

If Ye Linyuan kills the Time Spirit Dao Ancestor, then it would be because the Time Spirit Dao Ancestor attempted to interfere with the River of Time and Space and suffered a backlash, and Ye Linyuan ultimately managed to hold out until he killed him.

At that time, the history of Ye Linyuan's existence will become real, and the universe in the original history will become a possibility, eventually turning into bubbles and disappearing into nothingness.

There are three possible histories for this universe. The first histories is that Ye Linyuan broke through to the Mahayana stage and ascended to immortality. This possible histories have been changed by the Time Spirit Dao Ancestor.

We are now at the crossroads of the second and third histories, and whoever wins will bring this possible history to life.

"The river of time has countless possibilities, but only one will become real history in the end. The rest are just illusions in a dream, which will vanish in an instant."

"Interesting, very interesting. Is this the mystery of the river of time?"

Ye Linyuan spoke slowly in a low voice, revealing a hearty laugh for the first time.

The Time Spirit Dao Ancestor slowly rose, and a Wheel of Time and Space slowly rotated behind him, with the unprecedented Great Dao of Time penetrating the universe. In an instant, the entire void space was completely frozen.

"I know you are strong, but I have already broken through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm. What do you have to fight me with?"

"Time is like a knife that cuts down the proud, but I wield time as my blade, enough to vanquish all enemies!"

The Time Spirit Ancestor spoke coldly, and the endless Great Dao of Time transformed into a heavenly blade that slashed down.

Such a blow was irresistible and inescapable, and the entire space-time was completely frozen in time.

This strike, imbued with the power of endless time, combined the power of the soul, the body, and the Great Dao into one, enough to annihilate the soul of a Mahayana Immortal Venerable.

"Ding--"

Just as the Blade of Time was about to slash towards Ye Linyuan's brow, Ye Linyuan suddenly moved.

The frozen time around him shattered, and then an unimaginable chaotic Dao pierced through the universe.

This power shook the heavens and the earth, piercing through all the worlds with its unparalleled strength, and shattering the Blade of Time into dust.

"Chaos is formless, revered by all paths; do you think you can kill me?"

Ye Linyuan sneered and shattered the sky with a single blow, smashing the Wheel of Time and Space on the spot.

Then he threw a punch, which sent the Time Spirit Ancestor flying, bleeding profusely.

The Great Dao of Time is powerful because of its ability to manipulate spacetime, to foresee the future and understand one's own path to enlightenment, and because its power to manipulate time is too overwhelming for its opponents.

However, this power is ultimately insufficient in the face of the Chaos Dao, not to mention that Ye Linyuan's Chaos Dao is the ultimate Dao that has evolved into all Daos, and the Time Dao he cultivates is at most just a branch.

In such a brief exchange, Dao Ancestor Shi Ling was already at a significant disadvantage. "Impossible! I am a Mahayana Immortal Venerable, how could I be suppressed by you despite being of a higher level!"

The Time Spirit Dao Ancestor was incredulous and roared as he launched a fierce battle against him, but in the end, it was just a futile resistance.

The two sides fought until the void disintegrated. In the end, Shi Ling Dao Zu was completely killed by Ye Lin Yuan, and his physical body and primordial spirit were completely pierced.

“You rashly interfered with the river of time. Even if you seized the innate spiritual light to achieve enlightenment, you have not left this space-time universe. Therefore, you are not a true Mahayana Immortal Venerable.”

Having utterly crippled their formidable enemy, Ye Linyuan spoke calmly.

Shi Ling Daozu gave a bitter laugh, then burst into laughter, saying, "So that's how it is! I've never set foot in reality; I'm just a non-existent piece of history."

"Om-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the physical body and primordial spirit of the Time Spirit Dao Ancestor began to disintegrate and burn, gradually turning into immortal light and dissipating into the void.

This is the backlash of the power of time, and the price he pays for interfering with future time and space. Now, he will eventually become nothingness in history.

As the Dao Ancestor Shi Ling transformed into the Dao, a primordial spiritual light slowly emerged.

Ye Linyuan put it away and looked at the distant universe again, only to see that the distant and hazy universe began to turn into nothingness little by little.

The history belonging to the Dao Ancestor of Time Spirit has disappeared. This most ancient and invincible Dao Ancestor died in the early years of the Primordial Era. Because he interfered with the history of the future, he was killed by Ye Linyuan in the river of time.

This also became part of the history of the real universe where Ye Linyuan lived. This is also why, among the ten strongest races in this universe, there has never been the Time Spirit Ancient Race, nor any trace of the Time Spirit Ancestor.

"it's all over."

Ye Linyuan had a sudden realization: he discovered that the tribulations he had been destined to face had passed, and it was time for him to break through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm.

He returned to the universe, secluded himself from everyone, and began his seclusion to break through to the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm.

As the foremost of the three great spiritual lights, the innate primordial spiritual light is born without form or appearance; it is the purest innate, indestructible spiritual light.

Only the innate spiritual light can encompass all things and help anyone break through to the realm of Mahayana Immortal Venerable.

It was precisely for this reason that Dao Ancestor Shiling spared no expense in taking action, crossing time and space to compete with him for the innate spiritual light.

This time, Ye Linyuan broke through to the Great Ascension stage using his innate spiritual light, a breakthrough that lasted for a full 100,000 years.

Once everything was firmly established, Ye Linyuan completed his ultimate leap, completely merging his primordial spirit, the Great Dao, and his physical body into one.

"The Way is the same as Heaven, the body is immortal, and the soul is eternal."

"I have already achieved the Great Ascension Immortal Venerable realm."

Ye Linyuan murmured softly, then slowly rose and went outside the human race's holy land.

At this moment, countless paths appeared beyond the universe, and thousands upon thousands of ancient gods emerged, all bowing and worshipping him.

In the void, golden lotuses bloom; between mountains and rivers, celestial light appears; and endless Dao and principles manifest between heaven and earth.

This vast and boundless universe is celebrating for him, the newly born Mahayana Immortal Venerable.

Ye Linyuan lowered his eyes and looked up at the sky. He had a vague feeling that he had formed a karmic bond with this universe. If he were to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future, he would have to repay this karmic debt.

"Congratulations, Ancestor Yuan."

"Congratulations to Ancestor Yuan on attaining enlightenment, and may the Great Dao prosper forever."

Just then, a series of congratulatory voices came from the void.

Ye Linyuan looked up and saw countless cultivators kneeling in the void, all showing utmost respect.

"Get up."

Ye Linyuan waved his sleeve, scattering countless rare treasures among the crowd, before speaking: "I will remain in this universe for three million years, and will preach once every million years."

"Let the first sermon be left for ten thousand years to come."

"Thank you, Ancestor Yuan."

Everyone bowed in greeting, their faces filled with ecstatic joy.

"..."

Three million years, gone in a flash.

In these three million years, Ye Linyuan completed three sermons, and his cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Mahayana Immortal Venerable realm. He also refined the Chaos Dragon Turtle into a puppet comparable to the early stage of the Taiyi realm.

At this point, Ye Linyuan's strength had reached its limit, and the energy of this universe could no longer allow him to advance any further.

On this day, Ye Linyuan completed his final sermon, and then led the human race members together to the Human Race Temple.

Inside the main hall, Ye Linyuan looked at the assembled Dao Ancestors and then said, "The three million-year period has come to an end. I will ascend to the Chaos Realm."

"I still have some useless things, let them serve as the foundation of humanity."

With that, he handed over a large number of rare treasures to the crowd.

Over the years, Ye Linyuan has refined a large number of ancient god and demon remains in the Demon Suppression Tower into the purest Dao essence and origin, obtaining a large number of ancient treasures.

After breaking through to the Mahayana stage, Ye Linyuan's strength far surpassed that of the Immortal Venerable of Longevity back then, making it not difficult for him to refine these remnants of perfected Integration Realm cultivators.

Not to mention these ancient remains, even the physical body of the Hongmeng Daoist was completely refined into its origin.

In addition to these origins and rare treasures, Ye Linyuan also extracted the Great Dao Techniques of the fallen invincible Dao Ancestor from the origin of the universe and handed them over to the human Dao Ancestors such as Mo Yuan, Huan, Gui, and Qi.

In addition to the spirit refining techniques left behind by Ye Linyuan, the human race will have seven invincible Dao Ancestors after Ye Linyuan's ascension.

After dealing with all this, Ye Linyuan finally spoke, saying, "The human race is declining in the Immortal Realm. This time, I will allow a group of people to ascend, but I will also reseal this universe."

"Once the group of cultivators from the Hundred Races have completed their Integration Stage and left, I hope this universe can become the foundation for nurturing powerful human beings."

"This requires your sincere cooperation; at the very least, there must be no divisions among the top leaders."

Everyone nodded solemnly, clearly understanding the difficulties faced by the human race in the Immortal Realm and knowing about the ancient history of the human race.

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Ye Linyuan withdrew his thoughts.

Everyone present had come from a time of hardship. Those who were able to resist the advances of the Celestials and the Demon Clan and not betray the human race back then were unlikely to betray the human race in the future.

Moreover, once Mo Yuan Demon Lord ascends to immortality, this realm will no longer have the opportunity for Mahayana cultivation, and other treasures will no longer be worth their life-or-death struggle.

Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan looked at Mo Yuan Demon Lord and said, "After I leave, brother, you can stay in this realm for tens of millions of years to ensure that the human race takes the lead before ascending."

"I see."

Mo Yuan Demon Lord nodded. The human race was in a very bad situation in the Immortal Realm, and he also wanted to improve his strength before ascending.

Upon seeing this, Ye Linyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy. He had a feeling that the day they would meet again might be many eons later.

He pulled back his last thought and looked at everyone before speaking, "Take care, everyone."

"treasure."

Everyone cupped their hands and bowed to Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan got up and left, using his last moments to make a trip to the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm.

Unfortunately, tens of millions of years have passed, and now when I revisit this place, I can no longer find the feeling I had back then.

"I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but it turned out to be different. I was a young man traveling."

"Unbeknownst to me, I have already met many people for the last time."

Ye Linyuan traveled through Ye Family Island, Qinghe Islands, Tianxing Sea, and Yingyue Pool; these places have all been well preserved by later generations.

The old scenery remains, but the old people are gone forever.

"I wonder how many more years these old sights will be preserved after I ascend to immortality?"

Thoughts flickered in Ye Linyuan's mind. He had traveled all over the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm. Since the destruction of the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Nine Heavens Ancient Realm had become the largest Great Thousand World Cluster in this universe.

The sacred land of the human race has moved here, and countless powerful human beings are also cultivating here.

Ye Linyuan silently walked through the nine steps, opening up some grotto-heavens in each of the great worlds, leaving behind his own inheritance and treasures to varying degrees.

These treasures are of little value to Ye Linyuan, but they are supreme treasures for those at the Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, and even Body Integration stages.

However, Ye Linyuan also found it interesting and set some rules for these cave heavens, which was to allow only cultivators of a certain realm to enter, so as to prevent the treasures from being taken away by higher-level cultivators.

Finally, Ye Linyuan also separated his Xuan Yuan Dao Palace, which transformed into an ordinary little stone and hid it in the Hao Tian Ancient Realm.

The Xuanyuan Dao Palace is now a seventh-order creation treasure, containing hundreds of acres of seventh-order spirit fields, and countless fifth and sixth-order spirit fields.

Most importantly, the Xuan Yuan Dao Palace can draw on chaotic energy to maintain its operation, and it has a time flow rate thousands of times faster than normal.

"If any descendant were to find the Xuanyuan Immortal Abode, one day of spiritual medicine there would be equivalent to a thousand days in the outside world, and one day of cultivation there would be equivalent to three years in the outside world."

"With such an opportunity, anyone who isn't a fool could easily reach the Great Perfection of the Integration Realm. I just don't know who's so lucky."

Ye Linyuan smiled and did not try to predict the future opportunities of his descendants.

He clapped his hands, finally breaking the seal on this universe and opening the long-sealed barrier between heaven and earth.

Upon realizing that the seal on this universe had been broken, cultivators from all sides instantly revealed expressions of ecstasy.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior."

In an instant, countless cultivators at the Refinement and Integration stages, who had been waiting for hundreds of millions of years, offered their congratulations and then eagerly ascended to heaven.

Most of these ascended cultivators were from powerful clans with a foothold in the Immortal Realm, but some were from weaker clans who also risked their lives to ascend.

There were even a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators who abandoned their physical bodies to ascend to immortality, including a small number of human cultivators.

Ye Linyuan did not interfere. The human race had repeatedly warned against ascending to immortality, and the fool who still sought his own death did not deserve his sympathy.

After all, physical ascension still offers the possibility of escaping if one encounters a powerful immortal, but ascension of the primordial spirit is far too reckless. If the opponent possesses a treasure that can restrain the primordial spirit, it's like a precious medicine delivered to their doorstep.

After the three-year ascension period ended, Ye Linyuan sealed this universe.

He ascended towards the chaos beyond the universe, and after taking one last look at everyone, he said, "Fellow Daoists, farewell."

The various Dao Ancestors of the human race, and the powerful beings who remained in this realm, all bowed and paid their respects.

"See you later."
