"A few days ago, I luckily stepped into the Fifth Stage."
Lin Yuan did not deny that the human civilization was vast, and there were countless geniuses. Crossing a major realm in one or two years might be considered rare for a certain star domain or a few star domains. However, if you looked at the entire territory of human civilization, it wouldn't be that dazzling. Not to mention, the legendary deeds of the Crimson Kun Star Lord, who took over the Star Sea Kun Cub when it was young, spread across half of human civilization.
So, as long as Lin Yuan remained a member of the human race and did not expose the 'Gateway to the Myriad Realms' deep in his mind, even if he showcased outstanding talent, it wouldn't cause any problems. He would only be more cherished by the Crimson Kun Star Lord and the Wisdom Goddess.
Over the two million years of the Star Sea Calendar, the Human Civilization Alliance swept across the universe, pushing back alien races at every step. Apart from a few top-tier powerhouses, the protection mechanism for geniuses was more crucial. Without this mechanism continually providing fresh blood, it would be impossible for the current human civilization to dominate numerous alien races.
"Really at the Fifth Stage."
Crimson Kun Star Lord fell into silence. He had just thought it was an illusion. Only upon hearing Lin Yuan's admission did he realize that this new disciple of his surpassed his expectations in terms of talent.
Understanding the Xuanhuang Evolutionary Path merely indicated that he was suitable for cultivating this path. The future heights he could reach were still unknown. However, judging by Lin Yuan's current performance, his potential was evident.
"Let me think."
Crimson Kun Star Lord rubbed his brow. During his seclusion, he had already arranged a complete set of training plans for Lin Yuan. The Crimson Kun Star Lord was skilled in guiding disciples. When he came out of seclusion, he took one look at Lin Yuan and rewatched several videos of his battles on the arena. Based on this, he formulated a tailored training plan for Lin Yuan, accurate to every step of his subsequent cultivation.
However, with Lin Yuan breaking through to the Fifth Stage, the training plan devised by the Crimson Kun Star Lord was naturally rendered obsolete. It wasn't because the Crimson Kun Star Lord's plan only went up to the Fourth Stage; in fact, it covered up to the Sixth Stage, including suggestions on how to break through to the Sixth Stage. However, this training plan was based on the Lin Yuan perceived by the Crimson Kun Star Lord before. Now that Lin Yuan had entered the Fifth Stage, surpassing the Crimson Kun Star Lord's expectations, using this training plan seemed somewhat inappropriate.
In simple terms, this training plan was no longer suitable for the current Lin Yuan.
"I'll think about it."
Crimson Kun Star Lord was very cautious. He knew very well that the more of a genius one was, the less interference and guidance should be imposed. With the height of the Crimson Kun Star Lord, if it were an ordinary evolutionary, he could directly give guidance, and even plan the path for their future. But when it came to a top-tier genius evolutionary like Lin Yuan, the Crimson Kun Star Lord had to be careful because he didn't know whether the path he planned for this top-tier genius evolutionary was necessarily suitable. Geniuses often forge their own paths; if others forcibly intervened, it would only suppress the genius.
"I never expected that I, Crimson Kun, would one day be troubled by such matters." Crimson Kun Star Lord felt a bit distressed. The twelve disciples he had previously recruited displayed talents that couldn't match Lin Yuan's. Therefore, the Crimson Kun Star Lord taught them quite casually.
"You can go back for now."
"I'll think about it."
After observing Lin Yuan for a while and chatting with him, Crimson Kun Star Lord fell into contemplation once again.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan bowed, and his figure disappeared on the spot.
As Lin Yuan left, the spacious crimson palace was once again empty, with only Crimson Kun Star Lord present.
"How should I nurture him?"
Crimson Kun Star Lord frowned in contemplation.
"Little Red."
Crimson Kun Star Lord suddenly spoke.
"Master, Little Red is here."
A mechanical voice sounded, and it was Crimson Kun Star Lord's intelligent assistant, 'Little Red.'
"Eighty thousand years ago, the rule crystal I collected should still be around."
"Master, it's here."
Little Red responded immediately.
"Deliver that rule crystal to my disciple."
Crimson Kun Star Lord pondered for a moment and instructed.
"Master, that's a rule crystal."
Little Red hesitated slightly. Over the long years it had followed Crimson Kun Star Lord, it had evolved into an intelligent life form with its own thoughts and emotions.
"Yes."
Seeing that Crimson Kun Star Lord didn't say anything more, Little Red could only comply.
At the Canglan Star, in the central estate.
Lin Yuan severed the connection to the virtual world.
"I wonder what the teacher has for me to go over." Lin Yuan was puzzled, speculating that perhaps his breakthrough to the Fifth Stage had disrupted some of Crimson Kun Star Lord's plans.
However, Lin Yuan had no way of hiding his true strength in front of such a powerhouse as Crimson Kun Star Lord. This time, when meeting Crimson Kun Star Lord, Lin Yuan didn't even synchronize his virtual world, yet Crimson Kun Star Lord still sensed his true strength.
"Mental power."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Mental power was the fundamental power of an evolutionary. This time, Crimson Kun Star Lord sensed Lin Yuan's mental power surpassing the Fourth Stage, which led him to conclude that Lin Yuan had entered the Fifth Stage.
While Lin Yuan was contemplating, the solemn and cold voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
"Respected Level 5 citizen Lin Yuan, after final evaluation, the Five Stage Path you uploaded is worth 200,000 Merit Points."
"200,000 Merit Points." A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
It's important to note that this value is for the Five Stage Path alone, not the entire value of the martial path.
"The probability of advancing to the Sixth Stage in the martial path is ninety-five percent."
"The probability of advancing to the Seventh Stage is twenty percent, and the probability of advancing to the Eighth Stage evolutionary path is fifty percent."
Lin Yuan immediately glanced at the updated information on the martial path.
With the upload of the Five Stage Path, the Wisdom Goddess would reassess all the information related to the martial path and come up with updated conclusions.
"Well, the probability of advancing to the Sixth Stage isn't a hundred percent?"
Lin Yuan felt a bit regretful.
Little did he know, among the numerous evolutionary paths recorded by the Human Civilization Alliance, there was no evolutionary path below the Sixth Stage that could guarantee a definite advancement to the Sixth Stage. Most Five Stage evolutionary paths had only a thirty to forty percent probability of advancing to the Sixth Stage, and anything above fifty percent was considered rare.
"Now, the probability of advancing to the Sixth Stage in the martial path has reached ninety-five percent. Among numerous Five Stage evolutionary paths, it is undoubtedly one of the most elite."
"The probability of advancing to the Seventh Stage has increased by ten percent, with an additional half percent chance to advance to the Eighth Stage."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
It can be seen that the Five Stage Path uploaded by Lin Yuan has brought about a qualitative change in the martial path. It's predictable since the method of condensing the primordial spirit within the Fifth Stage Path is an extremely rare technique.
Although Lin Yuan estimated that in the future, most evolutionaries would only condense a single primordial spirit, this method is comparable to the talent of 'Splitting Image.'
"The current ranking on the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking is... fifty-third?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the updated ranking on the martial path.
He was still number one on the Canglan Evolutionary Ranking.
On the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking, he had risen from the previous top one hundred to the fifty-third position.
In terms of potential, even if the evolutionary paths within the top fifty on the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking had a lower probability of advancing to the Eighth Stage compared to the martial path, they were still seven-stage evolutionary paths, surpassing the martial path by two tiers.
The ranking on the Evolutionary Ranking is determined by various factors, and potential is just one aspect.
"To become a Level 6 citizen, you need 500,000 Merit Points? Why don't you go rob someone?"
Lin Yuan sighed. Even if he created a martial path that entered the top fifty-three of the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking, combining all the Merit Points gained wouldn't be enough to reach the distant goal of 500,000 Merit Points needed to advance to a Level 6 citizen.
It's conceivable how challenging it is to advance to a Level 6 citizen. Even Lin Yuan, with his achievements, would still find it extremely difficult. Other evolutionaries would probably need thousands or tens of thousands of years to accumulate such a massive amount of Merit Points.
"However, higher-level citizens enjoy many privileges in human civilization, but they must make significant sacrifices to enjoy these privileges."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Even though he couldn't gather 500,000 Merit Points this time, he believed he could do it in the next attempt or the one after that.
Crimson Main Star's virtual world.
In the central square area, numerous evolutionaries chatted casually in groups of twos and threes.
Most of the conversations among evolutionaries revolved around the martial path.
It couldn't be helped; the top one hundred evolutionary paths on the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking rarely changed over thousands or tens of thousands of years. Everyone had discussed each one of them thoroughly.
And now, the martial path, despite only ranking in the bottom one hundred, had gained tremendous popularity, especially considering its inexplicable speed of advancement.
"I wonder which evolutionary scholar's experiment was sent to the Crimson Kun Star domain."
"Evolutionary scholars, they are treasures of humanity on par with high-level evolutionaries, no, even more important."
Many evolutionaries and higher-level citizens whispered to each other.
In human civilization, the status of evolutionary scholars is incredible. Although many evolutionary scholars are not adept at combat, their contributions to human civilization are no less than those high-level evolutionaries who constantly battle on the border.
To become an evolutionary scholar, one must open up an entirely new Eighth Stage evolutionary path or make discoveries equivalent to an Eighth Stage evolutionary path in technology and other fields.
This is a path that can continuously produce Eighth Stage evolutionaries, benefiting the human race for millions or tens of millions of years.
"When do you think the martial path will continue to rise in the rankings?"
A curious Four Stage evolutionary asked.
If the martial path comes from an evolutionary scholar, then its final ranking will definitely not be limited to the top one hundred on the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking.
"Continuing to rise in the rankings? I don't think it can be done in a short time," a Level 3 citizen couldn't help but say.
Even if it's an evolutionary scholar, it's impossible to casually create an evolutionary path with the potential to reach the Seventh or even Eighth Stage. Establishing an evolutionary path requires careful consideration, and it must ultimately receive the approval and confirmation of the three goddesses.
"I feel the same way. The 'Yuan' scholar who created the martial path, although knowledgeable about the past and present, entering the Evolutionary Ranking of my Crimson Kun Star domain is not something just anyone can do. Hasn't that evolutionary path endured the test of time?"
Another evolutionary spoke up, pointing to the towering Crimson Evolutionary Ranking, finally stopping at the martial path at the very end.
"I bet, in the next three years at least, there won't be any changes in the rankings."
Before this evolutionary could finish, the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking reached its daily update time.
All one hundred evolutionary paths on the ranking began to blur.
After a few breaths.
The names of all evolutionary paths became clear again.
"Huh?"
The evolutionary who stood up suddenly realized that the evolutionary path he pointed to was no longer the martial path.
"What the heck?"
This evolutionary immediately sensed that something was wrong.
He looked directly up.
Finally, at the fifty-third position, he found the martial path.
At this moment.
In the central square area.
Many evolutionaries and higher-level citizens erupted in astonishment once again.
The martial path had consecutively jumped dozens of places, soaring from the top one hundred to the fifty-third position, shattering their preconceptions.
This wasn't like those planetary Evolutionary Rankings; this was the Evolutionary Ranking of the entire Crimson Kun Star domain, encompassing evolutionary paths from over a million life-bearing planets.
Every evolutionary path that made it onto the Crimson Evolutionary Ranking had experienced numerous trials.
Not to mention leaping dozens of places at once; even leaping one or two places was extremely challenging, requiring a significant breakthrough in some aspect.
"The Fifth Stage Path?"
"The martial path has updated its Fifth Stage Section."
"This should be it, the Fifth Stage Section that caused the martial path to skyrocket in the rankings."
"Quick, buy it and research it."
"I want to see what it is that made the martial path surpass four or five dozen Sixth Stage evolutionary paths."
In the central square area, many evolutionaries immediately started purchasing the Fifth Stage Section of the martial path.
In the cosmic human territory.
In a vast starry region somewhere near the east.
This planet is incredibly massive, surpassing planets with higher life forms, and numerous research institutes are built on its surface.
At the highest point of one institute, an elderly man in a white research uniform is looking at a screen.
Infinite data appears on the screen, with many formulas and conclusions flashing by.
"Alright, it's about done."
The old man closes his eyes, intending to take a break.
His consciousness connects to the virtual world, entering the "forum" of the Founder's World.
"My 'post' from back then, did someone reply again?"
The old man looks somewhat surprised. Twenty-three thousand years ago, he left a question on the Founder's Forum.
Is it better to comprehend a single rule or multiple rules?
Over the years, people have gradually given their insights under this question.
But none of those answers satisfied the old man.
"Let's see."
The old man immediately starts to enter the thread.
Idle time is still time. During breaks, it's good to revisit the questions he faced before—it's a form of enlightenment.
"Of course, it's better to comprehend a single rule. There are so many rules in the world, comprehending each one—even those residing in the Evolutionary Tower—would be impossible, right?"
"Only comprehending a single rule will have limitations. If possible, one should naturally comprehend multiple rules."
The old man shakes his head as he reviews the replies from recent years. Clearly, none of the responses satisfied him.
Until he sees the latest reply.
This reply is the most recent, just over a month ago.
"Comprehend a certain rule, then use this path to control myriad rules."
The old man is slightly stunned, and a look of astonishment appears on his face.
"Control myriad paths with one rule?"
In the old man's eyes, a large amount of data quickly flashes by.
Clearly, he is deducing the possibility of this approach.
In fact, whether it's better to comprehend a single rule or multiple rules has had a nearly standard answer for twenty thousand years.
It depends on oneself.
If you naturally have an affinity for multiple rules, then naturally it's better to comprehend multiple rules.
If you have a higher affinity for a specific rule, then it's naturally better to prioritize comprehending that rule.
However, the latest reply has given the old man a different perspective.
"No."
"To control myriad paths with one rule, the 'one rule' here must exert overwhelming suppression on the 'myriad paths.'"
"If it's just 'paths' of the same level, why should one rule control myriad paths?"
The old man deduced for a long time, falling into a dead end.
"But this approach is indeed possible."
The old man is lively, disregarding the continuous data appearing on the screen.
"No, I have to have a good chat with this person."
The old man immediately opens the profile of the person who gave this reply, intending to directly obtain their contact information.
"Insufficient permissions?"
The old man blinks.
"I'm at least an eighth-level citizen. How can I have insufficient permissions?" The old man scoffs.
"Let's see if it's possible."
The old man's eyes flash with data again.
However, the next moment, a solemn and cold voice comes.
"Scholar Tai A, your actions violate Article 13 of the Human Alliance Charter. If you continue, you will face corresponding penalties."
"Hehe, Goddess of Wisdom. I just wanted to test whether there are any loopholes in the information blockade set up by you three goddesses. Absolutely no intention of violating the charter."
The data in the old man's eyes immediately stops flowing, and he explains with a smiling face.
"Scholar Tai A, if there are loopholes, there will be corresponding solutions. It's none of your concern."
The tone of the Goddess of Wisdom remains steady.
"Alright then."
The old man continues to sit down.
"Oh, Goddess of Wisdom."
"Why does the citizen who gave this reply have such a level of information blockade that even I can't check their information?"
The old man pauses for a moment, then inquires cautiously.
You should know that the old man is an eighth-level citizen and a rare evolutionary scholar, ranking in the top three in dozens of nearby star regions.
"Scholar Tai A, you do not have sufficient permissions to know about this matter."
The Goddess of Wisdom responds indifferently.
"Oh."
Scholar Tai A falls into contemplation.
Could it be that the other party is also a scholar, and the kind who researches highly classified results? Otherwise, there's no way I can't see any information.
"Enough."
"Be honest."
After thinking for a long time, Scholar Tai A found no way to take a shortcut. So, he left his question under the reply "Control myriad paths with one rule."
As long as the person who gave this reply logs in and enters the Founder's World, they will see it.
Canglan Star.
Central Continent Manor.
Lin Yuan sits cross-legged.
Various information about the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths appears on the screen in front of him.
"First Tier: 36,783 people."
"Second Tier: 494 people."
"Third Tier: 0."
Lin Yuan observes the number of evolutionaries at each stage of the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths.
In the Human Alliance of Cosmic Humanity, the purchase of evolutionary paths by evolutionaries requires real-name purchases. After becoming an evolutionary, one must also register with the Evolutionary Association. Subsequent breakthroughs also require going to the Evolutionary Association to "update" one's own rank information.
Thus, through unified data from official human civilization sources, the number of evolutionaries at each rank can naturally be obtained.
Of course, there may be errors, such as when an evolutionary breaks through to the Second Tier but forgets to update their rank information due to other matters. However, such situations are rare and fall within the normal margin of error.
"No one has cultivated to the Third Tier yet?"
Lin Yuan thinks to himself.
The Third Tier of the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths already involves a rudimentary understanding of rules. When Lin Yuan first opened this tier, he was in the Divine Weapon World, comprehending many divine weapons, coupled with his extraordinary comprehension.
For other evolutionaries in the main world, it's clear they don't have Lin Yuan's advantages.
Therefore, even with a complete guide like Lin Yuan's Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths, crossing into the Third Tier is not an easy task.
"I can make an explanatory video when I have time."
Lin Yuan silently thinks.
Since spreading his own evolutionary paths benefits the future ultimate leap, Lin Yuan naturally wants to find ways to reduce the difficulty of other evolutionaries practicing the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths.
This move serves two purposes.
It not only increases the number of evolutionaries practicing the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths but also creates more income for himself. With specialized explanatory videos, other observing evolutionaries may gain insights and then enter the martial dao domain.
"Over a hundred more people have purchased the Fifth Tier."
Lin Yuan looks at the sales figures of the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths and sees the number 126 behind the Fifth Tier.
This indicates that one hundred and twenty-six people have already purchased the Fifth Tier.
When Lin Yuan uploaded the Fifth Tier, he priced it at five billion.
First Tier: Ten thousand.
Second Tier: Five hundred thousand.
Third Tier: Five million.
Fourth Tier: Fifty million.
Fifth Tier: Five billion.
With over a hundred copies sold of the Fifth Tier, it's equivalent to selling over five hundred billion.
Even after the division of three-sevenths and deduction of relevant taxes and fees, Lin Yuan ended up with over a hundred billion.
This is just the beginning; as time passes, more buyers will emerge.
Many evolutionaries, even if they don't practice, buy the paths to study. After all, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths are now ranked 53rd on the Red Kun Evolutionary Board.
In terms of reputation, the Martial Dao Evolutionary Paths have become even more prominent. Achieving a leap of dozens in a short period can pique the curiosity of other evolutionaries.
In the evening, Lin Yuan finishes his cultivation and heads outside the main building to have dinner with his parents and sister.
As Lin Yuan spends most of his time cultivating, even though they live in the same estate, the family doesn't meet often. Therefore, Lin Yuan comes out for a meal every once in a while.
"Sister, I'm already a Tiered Evolutionary now," Lin Yi boasts while eating.
In fact, it's quite normal for Lin Yi to become a Tiered Evolutionary so quickly.
When Lin Yuan reached the Fourth Tier, he conducted a thorough Elixir Cleansing for Lin Yi. With Lin Yuan's strength, Lin Yi's physical foundation was solidified through this process.
So, no matter which evolutionary path Lin Yi chooses, it's effortless, considering the foundation is there.
Of course, this ease is only reflected in the First Tier, at most the Second Tier. When it comes to the Tenth or Eleventh stage of the Second Tier, it depends on oneself.
"Little Yuan, you're not young anymore. Even if your main focus is on the evolutionary path, you should consider having children," Mother Lu Qiong couldn't help but say.
Now, due to Lin Yuan, the Lin family has leaped from an inconspicuous family in Dongning City to the top family on Canglan Star.
Mother Lu Qiong occasionally connects to the virtual world and tries to introduce their family's jewel to the major families and powers on Canglan Star.
"This matter is not urgent; we can talk about it later."
Lin Yuan casually says.
In the main world, powerful evolutionaries have different attitudes towards offspring.
Many evolutionaries who focus on the evolutionary path think that offspring are redundant, and Lin Yuan holds a similar view.
Regardless of location or era, personal strength is always the foundation of everything.
As for offspring, it's just a matter of quantity piling up.
As long as Lin Yuan is present, even if there's only one person, it is the most top-notch family aristocracy.
If there comes a day when Lin Yuan is absent, even if there are many offspring, it won't matter much.
Once the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
While the family is chatting.
"Master, someone is here to visit."
The voice of the intelligent assistant rings in Lin Yuan's ear.
"Who?"
Lin Yuan asks.
"Canglan Star Governor, Song Wuyang."
Inside the main building's reception hall.
Lin Yuan and Song Wuyang sit facing each other.
"You truly are the outstanding evolutionary genius that Canglan Star has produced in tens of thousands of years."
Song Wuyang is very satisfied with Lin Yuan.
In the recent arena competition, Lin Yuan dominated with Fourth-Tier strength.
To be born as a sub-hundred-year-old Fourth-Tier evolutionary on Canglan Star is a significant boost to his political achievements as a governor.
"It's just a stroke of luck."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
"Stroke of luck?"
"For tens of thousands of years on Canglan Star, is Mr. Lin the only fortunate one?" Song Wuyang teased.
"However, Mr. Lin, you don't need to worry about the matter of Red Kun Star's main examination," Song Wuyang reassured.
Lin Yuan not passing the Seven-Star Cave test is not a secret.
Although Lin Yuan is a Fourth-Tier evolutionary, there were tens of thousands of Fourth-Tier evolutionaries participating in the Seven-Star Cave test, and only a few ultimately passed.
The Seven-Star Cave test initiated by the Red Kun Star Lord aims to examine the comprehensive aspects of the participants, where strength is just one factor and doesn't hold a high percentage.
"Unfortunately."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, showing a hint of regret.
In the arena competition, Lin Yuan only revealed Fourth-Tier strength. The Red Kun Star Lord relied on his own insight, combined with watching the 'source video' transmitted by the Wisdom Goddess, to confirm that Lin Yuan had started to comprehend the rules.
Finally becoming a Golden Striped Examiner.
As for others?
Even if they exist on the same level as the Red Kun Star Lord, without the 'source video,' they cannot confirm Lin Yuan's true details.
They just think Lin Yuan is an ordinary Fourth-Tier.
And for a Fourth-Tier like this, among the evolutionaries participating in the Seven-Star Cave test, there are tens of thousands.
As a result, Lin Yuan not passing the Seven-Star Cave World test seems quite normal to outsiders.
Very inconspicuous.
"Secretary Song, coming over this time, is for..."
After a brief chat, Lin Yuan took the initiative to ask.
"There's something I need to trouble Mr. Lin with," Song Wuyang paused for a moment and inquired, "Mr. Lin is the youngest Fourth-Tier evolutionary on our Canglan Star. We, on behalf of the Canglan Evolutionary Academy, would like to invite Mr. Lin as an honorary professor?"
"Rest assured, it's just an honorary professorship. Besides appearing in the first few classes, you can come and go as you please for the rest."
"In the future, even if Mr. Lin leaves Canglan Star, as long as you don't actively remove the honorary professor title, you can continue to enjoy various benefits of being an honorary professor," Song Wuyang said, then carefully observed Lin Yuan's reaction.
The Canglan Evolutionary Academy is the highest-level evolutionary academy on Canglan Star, gathering the most promising young generation on the planet.
Since it caters to the younger generation, the students naturally aren't very old. Lin Yuan, as a Fourth-Tier evolutionary under a hundred years old, has a significant influence among the young people.
If Lin Yuan becomes an honorary professor at the Canglan Evolutionary Academy, it will undoubtedly inspire those students.
After all, having an idol in school, which student wouldn't be motivated to study and cultivate?
"No problem."
After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan agreed.
Mainly because this honorary professor position is genuinely free, with no constraints on him. Even if he teaches students, it's in the virtual world, and he doesn't even have to leave his estate.
In addition, he receives a monthly salary of 100,000 civilization coins.
Of course, with Lin Yuan's current wealth, the money is not a concern.
It's about occasionally guiding other evolutionaries, which, for Lin Yuan, is a form of self-reflection. Under extraordinary comprehension, there might be unexpected gains.
"In that case."
"It's a deal."
Song Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid Lin Yuan would refuse before coming.
Since he agreed to become an honorary professor at the Canglan Evolutionary Academy, Lin Yuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of embarrassment.
In the virtual world, the principal of the prestigious Canglan Advanced Evolutionary Academy and several professors personally received Lin Yuan.
"Professor Lin is young and promising. We old guys really feel ashamed," Professor Chu said with a smile. He was not only a professor but also the vice principal, making him the most senior among the professors.
"I didn't expect to see such a talented evolutionary in my lifetime," Professor Lu couldn't help but say, scrutinizing Lin Yuan.
After chatting for a while, the topic naturally shifted to evolutionary paths.
Since everyone present was either an expert or a professor, they usually dealt with knowledge in the evolutionary field, making it easy to find topics.
And once they talked about evolutionary paths, they inevitably had to mention the recently popular Martial Evolutionary Path.
Even on the main star of the Red Kun Star Domain, the Martial Evolutionary Path had caused quite a stir. Being the initial planet for the Martial Evolutionary Path, Canglan Star naturally had a higher level of enthusiasm.
Almost all the professors and experts present had purchased the first three tiers of the Martial Evolutionary Path for research purposes.
As the experts and professors fervently discussed the topic, Professor Chu noticed Lin Yuan sitting quietly without saying a word.
To avoid making Lin Yuan feel isolated, Professor Chu took the initiative to say, "Professor Lin, I don't know what you think about the Martial Evolutionary Path?"
This statement silenced everyone.
All eyes turned expectantly towards Lin Yuan.
They also wanted to hear the thoughts of the most talented evolutionary in the history of Canglan Star.
"My opinion on the Martial Evolutionary Path?"
Lin Yuan looked a bit strange.
If it were another question, he might not be able to answer it.
But when it came to the Martial Evolutionary Path, he had no issues discussing it.
"The Martial Evolutionary Path is based on the foundation of Qi and Blood."
Lin Yuan roughly explained his views, limited to the first and second tiers.
For higher tiers, it was challenging to explain clearly just by talking.
The experts and professors around listened attentively, nodding from time to time.
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, they began discussing it in low voices.
After a while, Professor Lu and a few other professors conversed for a bit. Then, Professor Lu spoke up, "Professor Lin, your understanding is good, but it's somewhat one-sided and fails to reflect the true profoundness of the Martial Evolutionary Path."
"My understanding of the Martial Evolutionary Path is somewhat one-sided?"
Lin Yuan fell into contemplation.
Looking at Professor Lu, whose eyes were shining, Lin Yuan felt a bit amused.
If it were a comparison of understanding and views on the Martial Dao Evolution Path, not to mention the current Professor Lu, even those evolutionary scholars in the human civilization wouldn't surpass Lin Yuan. After all, the Martial Dao Evolution Path was established and pioneered by Lin Yuan himself. How could others compare?
Of course, Lin Yuan wouldn't admit his identity as the founder here. The founder's identity was too crucial, especially for the currently popular Martial Dao Evolution Path.
Lin Yuan naturally wouldn't acknowledge his identity here.
Nowadays, most evolutionaries and higher-ranking citizens in the Red Kun Star Region believe that the Martial Dao Evolution Path is an experiment of some high-ranking evolutionary scholar.
Who are evolutionary scholars? They are the absolute top layer of human civilization, with indisputable personal strength and contributions to human civilization. The extraterrestrial races are extremely eager to assassinate an evolutionary scholar. Even if an evolutionary scholar has never set foot on the border battlefield, their impact on the border battlefield is profound. The evolutionary paths, various secret techniques, and even technological achievements they research can determine the outcome of local wars.
Unfortunately, the importance of evolutionary scholars is known to the extraterrestrial races, and of course, to the human race as well. Each evolutionary scholar is tightly protected.
Moreover, evolutionary scholars are not weak. They have their means of self-preservation.
The extraterrestrial races, let alone determining the location of evolutionary scholars, cannot even confirm their existence.
If Lin Yuan exposes himself as the founder of the Martial Dao Evolution Path, the extraterrestrial races will undoubtedly launch a mad assassination attempt, even if it costs the lives of several infiltrating Sixth-Tier experts in the human domain.
Why is the Martial Dao Evolution Path considered an experiment of an evolutionary scholar?
Why haven't other evolutionary paths faced such speculation?
It's because of the incredibly high potential of the Martial Dao Evolution Path that makes people astounded. Ordinary founders of evolutionary paths cannot create such advanced evolutionary paths. Only evolutionary scholars, with their profound knowledge spanning ancient and modern times, can create such a path.
If the extraterrestrial races knew that the Martial Dao Evolution Path was created by an evolutionary who isn't even Sixth-Tier, they would never allow Lin Yuan to continue growing.
The Martial Dao Evolution Path has the potential to evolve into an Eighth-Tier evolutionary path. Lin Yuan has a tiny chance of becoming the next evolutionary scholar of human civilization.
Even if assassinating Lin Yuan costs a huge price, it's much lighter than the future scenario where Lin Yuan's research and inventions lead to the downfall of billions of extraterrestrial powerhouses in the tribal battles.
Lin Yuan collected his thoughts, listening to Professor Lu's 'insights.'
"I think the Martial Dao Evolution Path is not purely based on Qi and blood. Instead, it integrates spiritual power, soul power, and many other mental forces," Professor Lu spoke eloquently.
The principal of the Canglan Evolutionary Academy nodded slightly, feeling that Professor Lu's words made sense.
Of course, this didn't mean that Lin Yuan's words lacked reason. Researching the Martial Dao Evolution Path, everyone has their own opinions and insights. That's perfectly normal.
Lin Yuan's evolutionary talent is indeed considered the best in the Canglan Star.
Before reaching a hundred years old, he had already cultivated to the Fourth Tier.
But precisely because of this, most of Lin Yuan's time was undoubtedly spent on cultivation.
On the contrary, Professor Lu, despite having inferior evolutionary talent compared to Lin Yuan, had been conducting research since the Martial Dao Evolution Path entered the Canglan Evolution Ranking a few years ago.
Having a deep understanding of the Martial Dao Evolution Path was quite normal.
"All right."
"Professors Lu and Lin, both of you have your own reasons."
"Although everyone has different insights, all of you are contributing to human civilization. Professor Lin, you must not mind. Professor Lu is like that; sometimes, he even dares to argue with the principal."
Professor Chu chuckled and rounded things up.
"No problem."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
He didn't mind Professor Lu's questioning just now. Mainly because Lin Yuan wasn't too concerned; every word Professor Lu said praised the Martial Dao Evolution Path, which was, in turn, praising Lin Yuan as its founder.
"That's good."
Professor Chu nodded approvingly.
Returning to the personal space in the virtual world, Lin Yuan contemplated the conversation with the professors. Mentioning their views on the Martial Dao Evolution Path gave him more insights and feelings.
Cultivation and learning are never isolated activities; occasionally, contact with the outside world is necessary.
The effectiveness of the heaven-defying comprehension is based on the depth Lin Yuan is at, where he delves into profound insights.
The more Lin Yuan knows and sees, the greater the effect of the heaven-defying comprehension.
Upon examining himself, Lin Yuan noticed a red dot on the Founder's Virtual World panel.
"Someone is trying to contact me?"
Lin Yuan immediately understood the meaning of this red dot.
During the fourth transcension, to avoid disturbance, Lin Yuan directly disabled any means of contact with him, including the 'message prompt' in the Founder's World.
"Who would contact me?"
Lin Yuan was curious; he had just entered the Founder's World, not knowing anyone or having any friends.
Soon, Lin Yuan entered the Founder's Virtual World.
"Is it the owner of that 'post'?"
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly serious.
The question in that 'post' was whether it's better to comprehend a specific rule or multiple rules. At the time, Lin Yuan gave an answer, not expecting to receive a response from the owner of the post.
After all, the time of the post's publication was twenty-three thousand years ago.
The owner of the post might have long since passed away.
"How to control myriad paths with a single avenue? Is it the avenue of time or the avenue of space?"
Lin Yuan looked at the response from the post's owner and fell into contemplation.
He used his own Tai Chi Dao to control myriad paths. As for the avenues of time and space, they were too distant for Lin Yuan.
Whether it's the rules of time or space, they are one of the supreme rules, accessible only to those beyond the Sixth Tier. Lin Yuan, currently at the Fifth Tier, even with his heaven-defying comprehension, couldn't have any perception of time and space.
"Using the rules one has mastered as the framework, and many other rules as the flesh, naturally, one can control myriad paths with a single avenue."
After contemplating for a while, Lin Yuan expressed his understanding.
In the distant and boundless space, on a massive research planet.
The Taia Scholar was yawning; now that his research had come to an end, the next few decades would be leisurely.
"Hmm?"
"Got a reply?"
The Taia Scholar immediately became alert.
To be the first to know when his question was answered, the Taia Scholar had set the Founder's World as a 'Special Concern'. As soon as there was any news, he would receive it immediately.
"Framework? Flesh? Too vague."
The Taia Scholar frowned slightly and continued, "Specifically, how do you construct your own rule framework?"
In the mainland estate on Canglan Star.
Lin Yuan had just replied not long ago and received new questions.
"Is this person always squatting?"
Carefully examining, Lin Yuan responded cautiously, "The combination of Yin and Yang forces forms a stable micro-domain that accommodates myriad paths."
"Is this intending to 'open a realm'?"
The Taia Scholar marveled, curious after a brief conversation with Lin Yuan.
Through their short exchange, the Taia Scholar concluded that Lin Yuan was probably not another scholar.
To become an evolutionary scholar, one must create and establish a completely new and stable Eighth-Tier evolutionary path. This implies that evolutionary scholars are at least Eighth-Tier evolvers.
However, the answers Lin Yuan provided to him just now, while not problematic, seemed to lack the style of an Eighth-Tier evolver in some descriptions. At least the formation of a stable domain using the power of Yin and Yang seemed like the embryonic form of some kind of 'realm.'
"Remarkable. Before reaching the Eighth Tier, he is actually preparing for the future 'realm.' Without a teacher's guidance, his potential is boundless."
The Taia Scholar murmured softly.
"No wonder the Wisdom Goddess guards so closely." The Taia Scholar glanced around.
He was well aware that scholars like himself were under constant surveillance by the Wisdom Goddess. It was both for protection and to prevent them from doing anything outrageous.
If an evolutionary scholar goes mad, the consequences are unpredictable.
"Let's ask a few more questions."
The Taia Scholar was intrigued; it had been a long time since he had encountered a junior who made him so enthusiastic.
Next.
The Taia Scholar and Lin Yuan chatted for over half an hour.
"This..."
The Taia Scholar's gaze was astonished. Through his subtle guidance, they even discussed other methods of 'realm opening.'
The Taia Scholar keenly felt that the so-called 'realm opening' methods were entirely within Lin Yuan's knowledge blind spot. He didn't even know what 'realm opening' methods were.
However, as the Taia Scholar deepened his communication with Lin Yuan, the latter quickly gained insights into other methods of 'realm opening,' terrifyingly enhancing his understanding.
It was so astonishing that even the Taia Scholar, an evolutionary scholar, felt shocked.
"Is he pretending, or does he really not understand?"
The Taia Scholar couldn't figure it out.
From Lin Yuan's tone in answering questions, the Taia Scholar concluded that the other party genuinely didn't understand and had not encountered the methods of 'realm opening.'
But if he genuinely didn't understand, how could he comprehend the methods of 'realm opening' so quickly, just by the Taia Scholar mentioning a few words?
"A genius, an unparalleled genius."
The Taia Scholar immediately stood up, pacing back and forth.
"Huh?"
"He logged out?"
The Taia Scholar noticed that Lin Yuan suddenly disconnected from the virtual world.
Canglan Star, the central continent estate.
Through the conversation with the Taia Scholar, Lin Yuan was profoundly affected, to the extent that he had to disconnect from the virtual world and focus on comprehending the evolution path of martial arts.
"To control myriad paths with Tai Chi."
"But what if it's not Tai Chi?"
"Can I still control myriad paths?"
Countless insights burst into Lin Yuan's mind.
[Your comprehension is heaven-defying, analyzing a method to control myriad paths, continuously perfecting the evolution path of martial arts.]
Lin Yuan immersed himself in deep-level cultivation.
Even his external perception was mostly blocked.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan often did this, and his parents were used to it. As long as Lin Yuan didn't come out, they wouldn't actively disturb him.
Several days later.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
This seclusion had a significant impact on him, prompting him to reconsider the foundation of martial arts.
"That person is at least a high-tier evolver, not weaker than my teacher."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
With just a few sentences of conversation, Lin Yuan gained a lot.
While Lin Yuan continued his contemplation...
The upgrade sound of the intelligent assistant echoed.
"Master, you have a delivery."
"It's from Shuntong Group, classified as S-level encryption."
"Delivery?" Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.
But upon hearing 'Shuntong Group' and S-level encryption, he was instantly alarmed.
Shuntong Group was the largest transportation conglomerate in the universe, and its business scope extended beyond the Human Alliance.
In the vast cosmic expanse, while there were enemies, there were also allies and affiliated groups. Shuntong Group covered all areas within the reach of human civilization.
Regarding confidentiality, Shuntong Group was officially endorsed by human civilization, and its reliability was absolute. It stood on the same level as the Central Galaxy Bank.
Of course, Shuntong Group had high fees, starting from at least a billion.
For S-level encrypted delivery by Shuntong Group, the transportation cost started from hundreds of billions.
The specific amount depended on the size of the item and whether it had other influencing factors.
For example, transporting a stone and transporting a planet naturally had different prices.
S-level encrypted delivery, being a high-end service of Shuntong Group, came with eight sixth-tier evolvers and one seventh-tier evolver as escorts.
Their movements were completely confidential, known only to the recipient like Lin Yuan.
"When did I..."
Lin Yuan hesitated.
Just then, the Sovereign of Chikun Star suddenly sent a message.
"Hahaha, good disciple, the item should have arrived."
"Is it from the teacher?" Lin Yuan affirmed in his mind.
If he hadn't figured out who sent it, Lin Yuan probably wouldn't accept it.
But now...
"Teacher, what is it? Why use Shuntong Group's S-level encryption?" Lin Yuan felt a bit distressed; that was a considerable sum of a hundred billion civilization credits.
"You'll know when you get it."
The Sovereign of Chikun Star mysteriously replied.
"Okay."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Then he left the main building and went outside the estate.
A man in a black uniform had been waiting there.
This man looked very ordinary, with no apparent difference from other delivery personnel.
However, Lin Yuan knew that to ensure the item reached the recipient, the person making the final handover was often the strongest in the transport team.
S-level encryption by Shuntong Group required a seventh-tier evolver to accompany the delivery.
In other words, the man in the black uniform was a seventh-tier evolver.
"Sir."
The man in the black uniform showed a slightly respectful attitude.
Anyone who could afford Shuntong Group's S-level encryption had an extremely high status, even in the realm beyond the sixth tier.
"Hello."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Then, through fingerprint, pupil, and soul wave authentication, once it was confirmed that Lin Yuan was the actual recipient, the man in the black uniform handed an ordinary black briefcase to Lin Yuan.
"Hmm?"
The moment Lin Yuan received the briefcase, his expression changed slightly.
"Heavy."
Lin Yuan looked down at the black suitcase again.
It was only fifty centimeters in length and width, but it weighed at least ten tons.
"Handover completed."
"I'll leave now."
The man in the black uniform smiled faintly and turned to leave.
From start to finish, this seemed like a very ordinary exchange of goods.
If Lin Yuan hadn't known in advance, he wouldn't have thought much about it.
"What did the teacher send me?"
Holding the black suitcase, Lin Yuan returned to the main building.
Ten tons of weight posed no problem for Lin Yuan's current physique. His surprise earlier was mainly because he hadn't expected the black suitcase to weigh ten tons.
"Let's open it."
Lin Yuan returned to the underground training ground.
Drip...
After undergoing fingerprint, pupil, and soul wave authentication again, the black suitcase slowly opened.
In front of him was a black-gold box the size of a fist.
Lin Yuan could tell that the weight of the ten-ton suitcase mainly came from this black-gold box.
Click.
With various verifications done before, Lin Yuan easily opened the black-gold box this time.
"Hmm?"
Inside the black-gold box, in the center, was a 'stone' the size of a pinky fingernail.
The 'stone' was crimson.
Lin Yuan looked at this 'stone' as if observing a celestial body.
"This..."
Lin Yuan carefully observed the fingernail-sized 'stone'.
Every detail, the surface texture, traces – every aspect stirred up immense waves in Lin Yuan's heart.
"This is a rule, the essence of the world's rules."
Lin Yuan was excited.
Other evolvers might not recognize what this 'stone' was. Even some sixth-tier evolvers might not identify it.
But Lin Yuan was different.
Having experienced the Divine Armament World, Lin Yuan was extremely sensitive to the essence of the world's rules.
This fingernail-sized 'stone' did not even come close to the external manifestation of the essence of rules. In the Divine Armament World, even the smallest shard of a divine weapon contained far more essence of rule mass.
However, this was the main world.
Even a strand of an elephant's hair weighed more than countless ants.
Moreover, when comparing the main world to the Divine Armament World, the difference was more significant than that between an elephant and an ant.
This 'stone' couldn't be considered a manifestation of the essence of rules; it couldn't even be considered an imprint. At most, it carried the breath of some essence of rules.
Yet, for Lin Yuan, it gave the feeling that it surpassed the essence of rules contained in all the divine weapons in the Divine Armament World combined.
Burning.
Vast.
Radiance.
Various auras manifested on this 'stone.'
"With this 'stone' as a reference for comprehension, opening the subsequent evolution path of martial arts, and breaking through to the sixth tier will be much easier."
It's like solving a problem. Originally, Lin Yuan could only work through it slowly, but now, there is a heap of auxiliary information related to this problem.
In the end, solving this problem is definitely much easier.
Even with these auxiliary materials, Lin Yuan has significant help in answering the next question and the one after that.
"Teacher."
Lin Yuan connected to the virtual world.
He arrived at the palace of Crimson Kun Starlord.
"Here?"
Crimson Kun Starlord looked at Lin Yuan expectantly. "Have you seen that thing? How does it feel?"
"Teacher."
Lin Yuan hesitated a bit. "It's too precious; I can't accept it."
Even if Lin Yuan wasn't clear about the value of items related to rules in the main world, just transporting this 'stone' involved Crimson Kun Starlord using the S-level encryption of the highly valued Shuntong Group.
This indicated that its value was at least far beyond a hundred billion.
It might even be a priceless treasure that money couldn't buy.
"You are my disciple. What can't you accept?"
Crimson Kun Starlord didn't care at all. "Moreover, at my current level, these kinds of items are no longer useful. Instead of leaving them wasted, it's better to bring them out for you to use."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He also understood that Crimson Kun Starlord's words were purely comforting him.
He doesn't need it, and he can sell it or even exchange it for something he can use.
"How is it?"
"How did you see that stone?"
Crimson Kun Starlord continued to ask.
"It's very enlightening to me."
Lin Yuan said seriously.
"That's good."
A smile appeared on Crimson Kun Starlord's face. "Good disciple, your aptitude, if I forcefully guide you, it will only fix and limit your path."
"That stone is the crystallization of rules, and the essence it contains is an almost limitless avenue."
"As long as you comprehend the mysteries contained in the stone, surpassing the sixth tier is not a problem."
Crimson Kun Starlord spoke.
Returning from Crimson Kun Starlord.
Lin Yuan's gaze once again fell on the thumb-sized stone.
"It's too profound."
Lin Yuan was almost fascinated.
The crimson stone, related to the solar rules, Lin Yuan carefully pondered and could continuously enhance his understanding of the solar rules.
In this way, Lin Yuan would allocate a significant portion of his time every day to comprehend this stone.
As for the remaining time, he continued to refine the path of martial arts evolution and contemplate in what way to break through to the sixth tier.
That's right.
Lin Yuan has long had the ability to break through the sixth tier.
But the exact angle to start from needs to be considered carefully.
Once the breakthrough to the sixth tier begins, the soul actively aligns with its own evolution path.
This is crucial.
If the soul achieves perfect alignment with its own evolution path, then one can enter the sixth tier.
Breaking through from the fifth tier to the sixth tier is not an instant or short-term matter.
It has a process, ranging from one to three years if fast, to hundreds or thousands of years if slow.
Many pinnacle evolutionaries of the fifth tier are stuck in soul alignment, unable to step into the sixth tier for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Virtual world.
Canglan Evolutionary Academy's large classroom.
Even before the class started, thousands of students came early, took their seats, and eagerly waited.
"Have you heard? The one teaching us this time is Lin Yuan, the player who ranked first in the arena."
"Nonsense, if I hadn't heard about it, could I have come so early?"
"That's Lin Yuan. In the tens of thousands of years on Canglan Star, he's the strongest evolutionary with the strongest talent, entering the fourth tier before the age of a hundred."
"Yeah, before the age of a hundred, I'd be satisfied with becoming a second-tier evolutionary."
"You still want to be second-tier?"
Thousands of students whispered and discussed.
The students who could sit in this teacher's classroom were the most promising students of Canglan Evolutionary Academy, representing the hope of Canglan Star's future.
At this moment, everyone was extremely eager, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
Swish.
At this moment, a young man appeared on the podium.
The next moment, the classroom fell silent.
All students stared at the young man.
"Hello, everyone."
Lin Yuan casually greeted.
As an honorary professor at the Canglan Evolutionary Academy,
Lin Yuan enjoyed many perks and benefits of a first-level professor. Although he was an honorary professor and didn't have to appear in person, he still had to teach at least one or two classes.
Half an hour later,
Lin Yuan mechanically went through the content of the textbook.
Then, he began to inquire about the problems the students encountered on their evolutionary paths.
"Professor Lin."
A girl with a ponytail raised her hand.
"You have a question."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Thank you, Professor Lin."
The girl with the ponytail was somewhat surprised. Many students had raised their hands simultaneously, but Lin Yuan chose her in the end.
"Professor Lin, I'm following the path of martial arts evolution."
The ponytail girl voluntarily revealed her evolutionary path.
This was normal; each evolutionary path had different characteristics. Sharing the practiced evolutionary path would help the teacher judge the upcoming questions.
"Martial arts, huh?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Nowadays, the martial arts evolutionary path had become the most popular path on Canglan Star.
Among the thousands of students on the field, at least one-tenth were following the martial arts evolutionary path.
Of course, most of these students had just started practicing, and the majority had not yet entered a tier.
"I see that in the later stages of the martial arts evolutionary path, you need to comprehend both the powers of Taiyin and Taiyang. But I am naturally dull in perceiving these two powers. Does that mean I am not suitable for the martial arts path?"
The ponytail girl asked carefully.
As soon as this question came up,
All the other students in the field immediately perked up their ears.
They also wanted to know the answer to this question because Taiyin and Taiyang were two high-level energies that not everyone could sense.
Most evolutionaries were more sensitive to basic energies such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"This question."
Lin Yuan looked around.
If he had to answer, Lin Yuan could certainly do so.
Everything in the world has yin and yang. For example, the attributes of gold also have yin and yang, the attributes of water also have yin and yang, and the attributes of thunder also have yin and yang.
Even if you don't have the ability to comprehend Taiyin and Taiyang, you can comprehend the energies you can sense. For example, the power of gold. After comprehending the power of gold, you can then comprehend its yin and yang parts and eventually deduce the power of Taiyin and Taiyang.
However,
Lin Yuan could understand this answer, and perhaps other fifth and sixth-tier evolutionaries could understand it too.
But the majority of students on the field who had not yet entered a tier would definitely not understand.
Not only would they not understand,
They also couldn't achieve it.
In that case,
Lin Yuan didn't want to say.
"I am also researching this issue."
"When I figure it out, I will definitely let you know,"
Lin Yuan said.
"Alright,"
the ponytail girl didn't find it strange.
Although Lin Yuan's evolutionary talent was considered the best on Canglan Star,
compared to the mysterious scholar who established the martial arts evolutionary path, he was naturally inferior.
Even the questions that the mysterious scholar didn't provide an explanation for were normal for Lin Yuan not to know the answers.
After completing the class,
Lin Yuan disconnected from the virtual world.
He sat cross-legged in the underground training ground.
The question from the ponytail girl in the classroom
made Lin Yuan contemplate deeply.
Throughout,
the martial arts evolutionary path he created
was entirely based on his own perspective.
First-tier section,
Second-tier section,
The Yin-Yang section within the second-tier section,
Third-tier section, Taiyin rules, Taiyang rules,
Fourth-tier section,
Fifth-tier section, Taiyin primordial spirit, Taiyang primordial spirit, Taiji primordial spirit.
Everything was entirely based on himself.
But who was Lin Yuan?
With extraordinary understanding, he comprehended one thing and understood ten, understood one thing and extrapolated a hundred.
Lin Yuan could understand, comprehend, absorb; could others do the same?
For example, Taiyin, Taiyang, and Taiji, which were the contents of the second-tier section of the martial arts evolutionary path.
But to comprehend Taiji, let alone Taiji, even if it was just Taiyin or Taiyang, it would be extremely difficult for others.
In the Dragon and Tiger world, those who comprehended Taiyang Wují and Taiyin Wují were all rare masters who appeared once every few hundred or thousand years.
Moreover, they needed the assistance of the True Martial Sword to achieve this.
Although the training environment in the main world far exceeded that of the Dragon and Tiger world, for the most ordinary citizens, the resources they could enjoy were not many.
"Martial arts, starting from the second-tier section, the difficulty is no longer suitable for ordinary citizens."
Lin Yuan remained calm, with thoughts surging.
With the current martial arts evolutionary path,
in the second-tier section, one must comprehend one of the elements within Taiyin, Taiyang.
If you cannot comprehend it, it becomes challenging to progress further.
It can be foreseen that countless citizens will be trapped at this step.
Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
Martial arts should not be so limited.
For a moment, many insights surged into his mind.
Recently, in the Founder's Virtual World, Lin Yuan had a conversation with the mysterious being who left a post 23,000 years ago. Apart from mastering the principle of Taiji controlling all things, Lin Yuan swiftly applied various methods of controlling all paths that were discussed.
Lin Yuan began to reorganize the martial path from the second-tier section, eliminating the restrictions that one could only progress with Taiyin or Taiyang.
From now on, martial cultivators would no longer be limited to Taiyin or Taiyang; as long as they could sense it, powers like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice, and many others could be continued to be cultivated.
Starting from the second-tier section, one could determine a path that resonated with oneself, and by the fifth tier, condense the corresponding elemental primordial spirit.
The elemental primordial spirits here were not just Yin and Yang spirits; there could be elemental spirits of gold, water, wood, and more.
Endless.
Encompassing all things.
Just as Lin Yuan was perfecting the martial path evolution,
Boom.
His soul suddenly vibrated.
Then, his aura began to transform, slowly aligning with the martial path evolution.
"I didn't expect this. This is the best way for me to break through to the sixth tier."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Perfecting the martial path evolution, making it not limited to Taiyin or Taiyang, directly gave Lin Yuan the best opportunity to break through to the sixth tier.
Many peak-level fifth-tier cultivators might not catch such an opportunity even in decades or hundreds of years.
Even the previous Lin Yuan hesitated about how to break through to the sixth tier.
But now, everything was clear. This natural breakthrough was undoubtedly the most perfect way to enter the sixth tier.
One month later,
Lin Yuan emerged from seclusion.
Breaking through from the fifth tier to the sixth tier couldn't be done in a short time; it required the slow transformation and evolution of the soul.
"Let's rest for a while."
Lin Yuan planned to balance work and rest.
He was not like those evolutionaries nearing their limits.
Lin Yuan was only twenty years old, with plenty of time to enjoy.
"Hmm?"
"So many people are looking for me?"
Lin Yuan opened the information panel and found that many people had visited him during his seclusion. Due to his seclusion, the intelligent assistant handled most of them. However, there were still seven or eight people insisting on meeting Lin Yuan.
"They've been waiting for me to come out. Let's meet them."
Lin Yuan clicked "Agree."
Instantly, a middle-aged man with golden hair appeared before him.
"Pu'an Star Domain, Xiangwen Group, Zhou He pays respects to Mr. Lin Yuan," said the middle-aged man with a slightly respectful attitude.
"Xiangwen Group?" Lin Yuan pondered for a moment. Immediately, he remembered that this group was from Pu'an Star Domain, a well-known entity with a sixth-tier Fallen Star expert.
Pu'an Star Domain was located adjacent to the Red Kun Star Domain. Due to its proximity, it had frequent trade interactions with many forces in the Red Kun Star Domain.
"Speak up. What's the matter?" Lin Yuan casually inquired.
"We, Xiangwen Group, sincerely invite Mr. Lin Yuan to become a member of the next arena match's preparatory team. As long as Mr. Lin Yuan agrees, the conditions are negotiable," the middle-aged man with golden hair spoke.
"So, you mean, join your group and participate in the next arena match?" Lin Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man with golden hair.
