Chapter 284: Chapter 22 Return (Subscription Request)_2
Zhenyan Ancestor's thoughts surged.
Below the Spirit Realm, there are a million Lower Realms, just like the Central Divine China World.
But since ancient times, no Lower Realm had ever produced a cultivator who ascended during the Dao Integration Period.
This was too inconceivable.
"Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Mu Qingliu asked in a low voice.
"What should we do?"
Zhenyan Ancestor glanced at Mu Qingliu, "What else can we do?"
If it had been before Lin Yuan had broken through to the Dao Integration Period, Zhenyan Ancestor still had confidence that, with this projection, he could manage wrist-to-wrist with him.
But now?
The opponent's strength almost caught up to his own true self in the Spirit Realm. What wrist was there to manage?
Wasn't that just humiliating oneself?
"However, breaking through to the Dao Integration Period enables one to survive in the chaotic void flows. Central Divine China World, being a Lower Realm under the Spirit Realm, merely requires breaking through this realm. With the strength of the Dao Integration Period, one can completely follow the chaotic void flows and enter the Spirit Realm..."
Zhenyan Ancestor quietly thought to himself.
Ancient Saints of the Nether Refinement Period don't have the ability to survive in the chaotic void flows, so if they desire to enter the Spirit Realm, they must pass through the 'Ascension Platform' and ascend via a stable spatial channel.
But for those at the Dao Integration Stage, this isn't really necessary.
With the strength of a Dao Integration Stage immortal, one can actively travel to the Spirit Realm.
The Spirit Realm is situated above the world of Central Divine China, and Dao Integration Stage immortals can easily sense the aura of the Spirit Realm.
...
"This is the Seventh Rank..."
At the ends of the East Sea, on the tranquil surface of the sea, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
At this moment, his aura was subdued, but he could easily tear open spatial rifts.
"The suppression of heaven and earth, it's just like that..."
Lin Yuan's mind was delighted.
This world suppressed the breakthrough from Refine Void to Dao Integration.
That is, from the Sixth Rank to the Seventh Rank.
Even the strongest individuals could only come infinitely close to the Dao Integration Stage.
But with Lin Yuan's Against-Heaven's Understanding, he soon thought of a method to step into the Dao Integration Stage.
That was to separate his true self from the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.
True self, Yin Spirit, and Yang Spirit all cultivate to infinitesimally close to the Dao Integration Period.
Then the three recombine, and their powers merge and stack.
Quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, ultimately forcing a breakthrough into the Seventh Rank.
"Such a wonderful feeling..."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, sinking into some deep immersion.
After stepping into the Seventh Rank, Lin Yuan's realm rose higher, and his perception of everything far surpassed that of the Sixth Rank.
The same leaf, viewed while at the Sixth Rank and the Seventh Rank, brings very different experiences, not to mention all things under heaven and earth?
Against-Heaven's Understanding is also like this, depending on the height of Lin Yuan's standing.
Had Lin Yuan been just a common person, the most he could have devised would have been Martial Tao skills of the First or Second Rank.
But now, Lin Yuan was equivalent to an immortal of the Spirit Realm, and the essence of all things in the world was slowly unfolding before him.
Continuing to immerse for a moment.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
"This time I chose to break through to the Seventh Rank leaning towards Immortal Path..."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Taoist Immortal Scripture had been of great help to him, providing four additional Seventh Rank directions, all affected by the Immortal Cultivation System.
"Indeed... it's not the Seventh Rank I desired..."
After stepping into the Seventh Rank and sensing many fine details, Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

If it were other path-opening powerhouses, they would now only be able to grit their teeth and continue cultivating forward, even if dissatisfied, what could they do? Once truly stepping into this realm, both physical body and soul would transform towards this direction, with no way back.
But for Lin Yuan, he had the means to return to the Main World, able to abandon everything about traversing worlds and return to his own body.
Bringing back only memories and realm.
In the past, this approach was more disadvantages than advantages.
After all, laboriously cultivating in traversing worlds for decades or even centuries, only to not bring back any strength?
But now, this was Lin Yuan's biggest confidence in exploring the paths of the Seventh Rank.
As long as the path is right, the direction is right, what is power? The Main World isn't lacking in treasures that accumulate power.
After all, having more power also requires the ability to wield it.
"Temporarily not continuing the cultivation beyond the Seventh Rank, fully comprehend the paths from the Sixth to the Seventh Rank."
Lin Yuan stopped perceiving, the direction he now stood on wasn't one he was satisfied with, continuing to cultivate and explore was meaningless.
"However..."
Lin Yuan seemed to think of something, raised his right hand, and lightly swiped at the air in front of him.
Crack.
A tear was ripped open.
Revealing the grey and turbid chaotic void flows inside.
"Breaking the void?"
A hint of unusual color appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
"With my current strength, I could actually survive in the chaotic void flows..." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then stretched his hand into the spatial rift.
Soon he pulled it back and found that there weren't any injuries on his arm.
"The aura of the Spirit Realm..."
Lin Yuan continued to sense the spatial rift he had torn open.
At immeasurable heights, a vast world like a grand sun released boundless aura.
Lin Yuan, having seen the Ascension Platform through the Spirit Realm, confirmed that this aura matched that of the Ascension Platform.
"Still forty years of residency time..."
Lin Yuan glanced at the ethereal font displayed below.
...
Baiyu Island.
Two hundred years had passed.
Most of the White Jade Pavilion had already relocated to the Central Divine Continent, where the cultivation environment was much more superior, including the seventy-two heavenly caves and one hundred and eight blessed lands.
Now, the number of White Jade Pavilion disciples remaining on Baiyu Island wasn't large.
In the core area of Baiyu Island, Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
"Wuji?"
"How have you come back?"
Mu Lian'er was sitting there chatting with Jun Dongjin when she suddenly saw Lin Yuan and immediately stood up.
"Wuji."
Jun Dongjin also stood up, looking at Lin Yuan, his tone somewhat emotional.
He had never expected that his youngest son would achieve such great feats, even making the Ancestral Masters of the Spirit Realm from the Daode Immortal Sect yield.
"I just came back to see."
Lin Yuan nodded, this would probably be his last visit to Baiyu Island. With only forty years left to stay, his plan for the first ten years was to continue traveling the world, and afterwards, he planned to attempt leaving this realm to explore the chaotic void beyond the realms.
During his time in the Divine Arms World, Lin Yuan had faced spatial rifts, and even with his Against-Heaven's Understanding, his comprehension was not very good.
But now being at the Seventh Rank, his perspective on the chaotic void within the spatial rifts had many flashes of spiritual light.
This was the difference brought about by varying strengths and the heights from which they stood.
Afterward.
Lin Yuan chatted with his parents for a while.
"Wuji..."
Mu Lian'er felt vaguely sad, sensing that the number of times she would see Wuji may not be many.
"These are two sets of resources for breakthrough to the Refine Void Period."
With a thought from Lin Yuan, two storage rings appeared in front of him.
Over the years, Lin Yuan had traveled the world, reaching the heavens and plumbing the depths, naturally finding quite a few treasures.
Those treasures and resources were of no use to Lin Yuan anymore but had been collected, and now was the perfect time to give them to his parents.
"With these resources, breaking through to the Refine Void Period should be no problem."
"Then, mom and dad, you can use the Ascension Platform of the Daode Immortal Sect to enter the Spirit Realm."
Lin Yuan spoke.
His eldest brother, Jun Xiaoyao, was already being groomed as the next Sect Master of the Daode Immortal Sect, and his breakthrough to the Refine Void Period should be no problem.
And for his second sister, Lin Yuan had also left a set of resources for her to break through to the Refine Void Period.
This was the last thing Lin Yuan could do.
"Wuji..."
Jun Dongjin wanted to say something but hesitated.
He always felt that his youngest son was preparing for his later affairs. But with Wuji's strength, who could make him prepare for such matters?
"Wuji, are you preparing to ascend to the Spirit Realm?"
Jun Dongjin tentatively asked.
"Somewhat."
Lin Yuan nodded.
His 'ascension' was not meant for the Spirit Realm but rather for the even vaster Main World.
...
Time passed.
Another decade went by.
The northernmost peak.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"I've wandered around a few more times."
"There's nothing left to see."
Lin Yuan lifted his right hand and gently swept through the air in front of him.
Slit.
A several-meter-long spatial rift appeared.
Lin Yuan gazed into the spatial rift.
[Your understanding is Against-Heaven, observing the chaotic void, deepening your comprehension of the essence of space...]

[Your understanding is Against-Heaven, observing the chaotic void, deepening your comprehension of the essence of space...]

[Your understanding is Against-Heaven, observing the chaotic void, continuing to refine the Martial Arts Evolution System...]
...
Outside the Central Divine China World.
Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
Whirr.
The terrifying chaotic void streams, upon reaching within several meters of Lin Yuan, all dissipated.
"So this is space? Violent, sharp-destroying everything?"
Lin Yuan felt somewhat shocked.
Within the world, space is stable, orderly, and capable of nurturing abundant life.
But outside of the world, space is filled with extreme destructive power.
This contrast between what was before and after deepened Lin Yuan's understanding of the power of space.
Just like that.
Lin Yuan drifted alone within the chaotic void outside of the world.
Until thirty years later.
Hum!!
Deep within his mind, the Door to the Myriad Realms shone brightly.
