“Wonderful!”
Lin Yuan quickly absorbed the legacy content. Many aspects that had previously confused him now began to “melt away.”
The creator of this legacy was a Peak Heavenly Sovereign from the Liyang Ancient Kingdom from countless eons ago.
This Peak Heavenly Sovereign’s father was of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom’s imperial family.
And his mother was a cultivator from the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom.
The Liyang Ancient Kingdom and the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom originated from two supreme ancestors, representing completely opposite paths.
But bloodline inheritance is miraculous; it can accommodate everything.
After the imperial family of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom combined with that cultivator from the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom, the legacy creator born from them possessed both Liyang and Xuanyin bloodlines.
Initially, the legacy creator grew up in the Liyang Ancient Kingdom.
So, naturally, he was exposed to Liyang-related legacies and primarily cultivated the Liyang path.
As for the Xuanyin essence deep within his bloodline? He didn’t pay much attention to it.
But as his strength and realm continuously improved, he comprehended the chaotic Liyang path and cultivated it to the third level.
This legacy creator vaguely realized that what was called Liyang and Xuanyin might not be opposed.
Since everything originated from chaos, how could there be opposition?
“Liyang? Xuanyin? If they could be completely fused, I feel it would be a completely new path, a path that surpasses all paths I have known before. Unfortunately, my insight is not enough to perfectly fuse them.”
Within the legacy content Lin Yuan absorbed, scenes appeared, including the final video message of this legacy creator—
“If I could reach the Ancestor realm, with the vision of such a magnificent life, I should be able to fuse Liyang and Xuanyin together. So, next, I will begin to attempt to break through to the final step.”
Lin Yuan generally browsed through the entire legacy. This legacy ended with the creator preparing to challenge rank thirteen.
“It probably didn’t succeed.”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. Among the six ancient kingdoms of this source world, the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom was the last to be born, and there has been no mention of a seventh ancient kingdom to this day.
If a new rank thirteen Ancestor were to be born, a seventh ancient kingdom would certainly be established.
Since there is no seventh ancient kingdom now, it indicates that this legacy creator did not enter rank thirteen.
“Rank thirteen…” Lin Yuan sighed inwardly.
Whether in the chaotic void or this source world, the ultimate goal of all cultivators is to enter rank thirteen and become a time life.
Only a rank thirteen being, who can see through various timelines of the past and future, can gain freedom in a broad sense.
As for lives below rank thirteen? Their vision is confined solely to space, unable to see the distant future, unaware of what will happen next, like a lone boat on a vast ocean, not knowing when it will capsize.
If described from the perspective of time, all lives below rank thirteen are blind, only groping in the dark, while rank thirteen lives have sight, able to see surrounding things, whether dangers or opportunities.
“This legacy is very helpful to me, it was worth it.”
Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. He had to admit that the cultivators of this source world had a far deeper understanding of the laws of the Great Dao than those in the chaotic void.
The Supreme Saints of the chaotic void, whose comprehension of chaotic power evolution only reached the second level, could only compare to the Peak Heavenly Sovereigns of this source world, who reached the third level of chaotic evolution, entirely due to the advantage of their inner universe.
In fact, many cultivators in the six ancient kingdoms had tried to open up inner worlds and inner universes. Once their mastery of laws reached a certain level, opening up worlds and universes was not difficult.
However, without the assistance of the chaotic void’s primordial essence infusion, even if the cultivators of this source world successfully opened up inner worlds and inner universes, they couldn’t elevate them to a degree that would significantly aid themselves.
Only now did Lin Yuan realize how important the ‘unique’ cosmic primordial essence infusion and chaotic void primordial essence infusion were to the chaotic void, directly leading to a much stronger foundation for all cultivators in the chaotic void.
Of course, this source world also has advantages over the chaotic void, which is that comprehending laws is very easy.
Why can the Peak Heavenly Sovereigns of the six ancient kingdoms cultivate the chaotic evolution path to the third level? Surpassing the Supreme Saints of the chaotic void?
Naturally, it is by utilizing the exaggerated scope of law comprehension in the source world.
“And over two hundred thousand merit points left…”
Lin Yuan glanced at his merit point ‘balance.’ Exchanging this legacy cost one million eight hundred thousand merit points.
“I’ll use the remaining merit points to exchange for Chaos Rune Maps.”
Lin Yuan looked at the various rare treasures and legacies he valued, finding that two hundred thousand merit points were simply not enough, so he decided to exchange for more Chaos Rune Maps.
The Chaos Rune Maps were created by the Liyang Ancestor from a high vantage point, with the vision of a rank thirteen time life, returning to the source and re-condensing the chaotic laws that evolve all things in the Great Dao.
Among them, there are fifty-four Rune Maps representing the three realms of Chaos, each costing one hundred thousand merit points. Lin Yuan exchanged one last time, and now he has two hundred thousand merit points left, so he plans to exchange for two more to comprehend.
Anyway, exchanging for Chaos Rune Maps would definitely not be a loss. These Rune Maps, which symbolize the fundamental chaotic laws, could make Lin Yuan’s comprehension of laws infinitely easier.
On his way back to his mansion, Lin Yuan remembered the information revealed by the Emperor.
The Liyang Ancient Kingdom had obtained ten billion years of guardianship over the first-class treasure ground ‘Boundless Eye’ from the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom.
“Boundless Eye…” Information about this treasure ground flashed through Lin Yuan’s mind.
This treasure ground, when viewed from the outside, is shaped like a giant eye, and the rare treasure it produces is the Boundless Crystal.
Therefore, it was ultimately named ‘Boundless Eye.’
As for the Boundless Crystal, refining a certain amount of Boundless Crystals will cause one’s physical body to transform into an Immeasurable Divine Body.
The Immeasurable Divine Body is one of the top divine bodies in the six ancient kingdoms. Although it is not as good at offense as the Blazing Sun Divine Body, the Immeasurable Divine Body can be compatible with other divine bodies.
Simply put, you can simultaneously possess the Immeasurable Divine Body and other divine bodies.
Therefore, Boundless Crystals are very popular among powerhouses in the six ancient kingdoms. No one is unwilling to have an additional top-tier divine body, as this means a significant increase in combat power.
“The treasure grounds born in this source world are all greatly beneficial for cultivation and the evolution and transformation of life, especially first-class treasure grounds.”
“The wars between the six ancient kingdoms, constantly expanding and contracting, are largely due to the struggle for these treasure grounds.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
After all, treasure grounds cannot be moved. As long as a certain ancient kingdom governs that area, it naturally gains ownership of the treasure ground.
For example, if one day, the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom and the Liyang Ancient Kingdom went to war, and the Liyang Ancient Kingdom was defeated, the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom would take control of the area where the Black Jade Nest is located.
Then the Black Jade Nest would belong to the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom, and Lin Yuan, as its guardian, would have to withdraw.
And before withdrawing, he could at most take all the black jade with him. As for the Black Jade Nest itself? It is not allowed to be destroyed. This is also an iron rule among the six ancient kingdoms.
No matter what level of treasure ground, it is not allowed to be destroyed, otherwise, one will be hunted down by all the powerhouses of the six ancient kingdoms.
Returning to his mansion.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and began to deeply comprehend the legacy of ‘Liyang, Xuanyin, Chaos.’
“To be able to exchange for a legacy of this level with only one million eight hundred thousand merit points, my luck is really good.”
The more Lin Yuan comprehended, the more he felt he gained.
The legacy creator, possessing both Liyang and Xuanyin bloodlines, and with the chaotic power evolution laws being Liyang, after comprehending Xuanyin, had a very deep understanding of the combination and supplementation between the two paths.
Although Liyang, Xuanyin, and Yang, Yin are different, they have many similarities. The legacy creator had comprehended chaotic Liyang and chaotic Xuanyin to the third level, already involving the perfect fusion of the two.
“Xuanyin…”
Lin Yuan extended his right hand, and wisps of ultimate yin power began to swirl, completely out of place with the surrounding environment filled with Liyang primordial essence.
The numerous Xuanyin legacies obtained from killing Heavenly Sovereign Northern Yin and Heavenly Sovereign Extreme Frost, combined with the ‘Liyang, Xuanyin, Chaos’ legacy exchanged for one million eight hundred thousand merit points, caused Lin Yuan’s comprehension in the Xuanyin path to advance by leaps and bounds.
“I can feel it…”
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness descending into his inner universe.
The inner universe of his true body in the source world was not as vast as that of the chaotic void, but it was still measured in trillions of light-years.
At the highest point of his inner universe, various Great Dao laws converged, forming a gigantic egg shape, with chaotic qi swirling around it, seemingly gestating and evolving something.
After Lin Yuan’s comprehension of chaotic laws reached the peak of the second realm, he began to attempt to evolve the chaotic Tai Chi path, and what ultimately formed was the scene before him.
The giant egg enveloped in chaotic qi was the ultimate fruit of Lin Yuan’s comprehension of chaotic laws, and what was gestating and evolving within it was the power of chaotic Yin Yang Tai Chi.
“Comprehending the Xuanyin path has given me a qualitative leap in the chaotic Yin Yang Tai Chi path. This kind of chaotic power path can be evolved within at most ten thousand years.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.
Before this, even with his comprehension of chaotic laws at the second realm, Lin Yuan could only feel that it was evolving, but he didn’t know when it would finally evolve.
Now, however, Lin Yuan felt the specific evolution time.
Ten thousand years.
Within ten thousand years at most, the chaotic Yin Yang Tai Chi would be able to evolve.
“It seems that comprehending Xuanyin to complement the Yin path was the right choice.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Tao of Tai Chi, formed by Yang and Yin, can perfectly complement each other between Yang and Yin. If Yang is insufficient, it transforms from Yin; if Yin is insufficient, it transforms from Yang.
However, the transformed Yin and Yang are ultimately not as good as those truly comprehended by oneself. Lin Yuan’s comprehension of Yin was not as good as his comprehension of Yang.
“Next, continued comprehension of Xuanyin will accelerate the evolution of chaotic Tai Chi.”
Lin Yuan thought, the Tao of Tai Chi of Chaos is his exclusive Tao. In the chaotic void, it is the difference between an ordinary Venerable and a Great Saint.
“Just comprehending Xuanyin?”
Lin Yuan frowned slightly: “Relying solely on this legacy to comprehend the true Tao of Xuanyin is still too slow.”
In the legacy of ‘Liyang, Xuanyin, Chaos,’ the explanation of the Xuanyin path was merely the creator’s own understanding. While its guidance did greatly help Lin Yuan, it was still somewhat insufficient for comprehending the true Tao of Xuanyin.
“The creator of this legacy embarked on the path of comprehending the Tao of Xuanyin by comprehending the Xuanyin essence deep within his own bloodline. I can do the same.”
Lin Yuan thought silently to himself.
Although he did not have the Xuanyin bloodline, countless beings in the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom had the Xuanyin bloodline flowing within them.
If Lin Yuan couldn’t comprehend his own, couldn’t he comprehend others’?
Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom, Dragon Frost Domain.
The Dragon Frost Domain was the fiefdom of Marquis Dragon Frost, who was a renowned Peak Great Sovereign of the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom, once dominating the southwestern region of the Xuanyin Ancient Kingdom.
“How exactly can I take a further step and enter the Heavenly Sovereign realm?” Marquis Dragon Frost was in seclusion, pondering his future path.
For beings outside the imperial family, only by reaching the Heavenly Sovereign realm could they truly become high-ranking officials of the ancient kingdom and contend for power with those imperial family members and core imperial family members.
For example, the vast amount of merit required for the various rare treasures and legacies available for exchange in the treasure houses of the various ancient kingdoms was basically impossible for Great Sovereigns to accumulate.
Heavenly Sovereigns could accumulate merit because they would generally be stationed in some treasure grounds, and by relying on the merit bestowed for guarding those treasure grounds, after a long period of time, they would always be able to accumulate some merit.
Just then—
Marquis Dragon Frost’s expression suddenly changed drastically. He suddenly found that the surrounding space-time was subtly distorted, like a piece of glass cut off, and he completely lost contact with the outside world.
Whoosh!
A figure walked out of the void, quietly overlooking Marquis Dragon Frost below.
“Greetings, Your Excellency.”
Marquis Dragon Frost shivered violently and immediately stood up and bowed.
Being able to easily cut off his space-time from the outside world meant that his life and death were entirely in the other party’s hands. Marquis Dragon Frost didn’t even think of resisting.
“Give me five drops of vital blood, vital blood.”
Lin Yuan looked down at Marquis Dragon Frost and said.
Marquis Dragon Frost was a Peak Great Sovereign, and the concentration of Xuanyin bloodline in his body should be quite high. Lin Yuan could completely comprehend it and thus understand the true Xuanyin Great Dao.
Whether it’s the Xuanyin bloodline, the Liyang bloodline, or the Great Ling bloodline, they are all passed down from their rank thirteen Ancestors, containing tiny fragments of the true rank thirteen Great Dao.
“Yes.”
Marquis Dragon Frost was very obedient, without any resistance, and directly squeezed out five drops of vital blood.
Vital blood refers to the most important blood of a living being. Even for a Great Sovereign, there aren't many drops of blood that can be called vital blood.
“Remember, do not extinguish these five drops of vital blood.”
Lin Yuan took the vital blood, glanced at Marquis Dragon Frost, and said casually.
Rank twelve beings have absolute control over any part of their physical bodies and can extinguish them with a single thought.
Even if the five drops of vital blood given by Marquis Dragon Frost fell into Lin Yuan’s hands, as long as the other party had a thought afterwards, he could still make the five drops of vital blood extinguish.
Just like extinguishing a physical body and soul, Lin Yuan couldn’t stop it either.
Unless the other party’s spiritual will was completely destroyed, making the physical body an ownerless object.
“Good.”
Marquis Dragon Frost’s heart trembled, and he immediately nodded.
The next moment.
Marquis Dragon Frost felt space-time return to normal, and he could once again perceive everything outside.
“Just now…” Marquis Dragon Frost steadied himself. If he hadn’t lost five drops of vital blood, he might have thought what he had just experienced was an illusion.
“That powerhouse?”
Marquis Dragon Frost thought of the powerhouse who had just appeared. In front of him, he completely lost control of space-time, like an ant before a giant.
“Heavenly Sovereign, definitely Heavenly Sovereign level.”
Marquis Dragon Frost swallowed, and now he vaguely felt his five drops of vital blood had instantly moved far away, but he couldn’t determine their specific location.
“What does such a powerhouse want with my vital blood?”
Marquis Dragon Frost was puzzled but didn’t dare to try to actively extinguish those five drops of vital blood.
Indeed, he could extinguish his own vital blood, even if it had left his body.
But then what?
Enraging that mysterious Heavenly Sovereign, if he returned, it would be no harder than crushing an ant.
