Chapter 185
Chapter 185
Deep within the grand hall of the Thirteenth Mountain Peak.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged. After stepping into the seventh rank, both his physical body and soul underwent significant transformation.
Now, Lin Yuan's basic destructive power alone had surged by more than tenfold. If combined with the amplification of rule comprehension and the blessing of the Tai Chi world within his body, it was feared that only seventh-rank king-level evolvers could rival Lin Yuan.
"The Tai Chi world."
Lin Yuan's consciousness sank into his dantian's qi sea.
There, a small world had long been opened up.
Swoosh.
Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into the small world.
It was a small world of black and white swirling colors, with a sense of desolation wherever the eye could see.
However, Lin Yuan didn't find it strange. The small world had just been opened up, and everything was waiting to be developed."Normally, the inner worlds of eighth-rank evolvers are mostly hundreds of miles in diameter."
"But my inner world is only ten miles in diameter?"
Lin Yuan surveyed his surroundings and thought to himself.
As the creator of this small world, Lin Yuan knew everything within it with just a single thought.
"That makes sense."
"The inner worlds opened up by eighth-rank evolvers have powerful physical bodies as a foundation, which is why they can support worlds spanning hundreds of miles."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Evolvers who could advance to the eighth rank usually followed paths of evolution no weaker than the path Lin Yuan was currently on. Additionally, they usually attempted to open up their inner worlds only after reaching the peak of the seventh rank. Naturally, the physical bodies and souls of those at the peak of the seventh rank were stronger than Lin Yuan's previous peak of the sixth rank, resulting in the inner world being larger in size.
Of course, the initial size of the inner world was not important.
Because the inner world had a growth attribute, meaning it could grow slowly.
Currently, Lin Yuan's inner world was only ten miles in size. As Lin Yuan's realm and strength increased, the inner world would grow to hundreds or thousands of miles.
"The Power of the World."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand and carefully observed.
After the formation of the Tai Chi world, the power of the world began to emanate, slowly transforming Lin Yuan's physical body and soul.
The power of the world was almost omnipotent. It could enhance Lin Yuan's attacks, guard his physical body and soul, and gradually improve various aspects.
"Although I have just entered the seventh rank, with the blessing of the power of the world, my true strength is estimated to have reached the peak of the seventh rank."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
The power of the world was the exclusive power of eighth-rank evolvers.
Although the inner world Lin Yuan currently opened might be weaker than that of eighth-rank evolvers, it was still an inner world. The derived power of the world was almost like cheating for a seventh-rank evolver.
Most importantly.
For many seventh-rank peak kings, their upper limits were already fixed. To further advance, they could only attempt to break through to the eighth rank.
But Lin Yuan's inner world had just been opened up and had nearly infinite growth potential. Perhaps in the future, he could compete with eighth-rank evolvers at the peak of the seventh rank.
"Inner World."
Lin Yuan carefully felt the inner world within his dantian's qi sea again.
Even if it was only ten miles in diameter, it was still a complete world, operating smoothly. As long as Lin Yuan wished, outsiders would hardly detect the existence of the inner world.
"My Yin Spirit."
Lin Yuan raised his head slightly, looking towards the direction of the C24763 Alien Battlefield.
With the breakthrough of his main body, the Yin Divine Spirit also began to transform. The power of the divine spirit became purer, and in an instant, it completely entered the realm of the seventh rank.
"It's a pity. The divine spirit has no physical body and cannot give birth to an inner world."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
"However, if the Yin and Yang Spirits merge to evolve Tai Chi, combined with the comprehension of spatial rules, perhaps a phantom soul world could be derived?"
Lin Yuan speculated.
A single Yin or Yang, even with the incorporation of spatial rules, could not form a complete world. But it would be different when the two were combined.
"Has the teacher arrived?"
Lin Yuan glanced outside and immediately got up, walking out of the grand hall.
"Teacher."
"Brothers and sisters."
Lin Yuan walked out, smiling.
Regarding the breakthrough to the seventh rank, Lin Yuan didn't intend to hide it, nor could he.
In human civilization, as long as Lin Yuan was human, the more terrifying his talent, the greater the tilt of resources he would receive.
"Good disciple." The Red Kun Star Master smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan. "In less than two years, you've entered the seventh rank, which is much stronger than your master back then."
It took the Red Kun Star Master thousands of years to break through to the seventh rank.
However, the Red Kun Star Master's main body was a Star Sea Kun, The breakthrough of such special life forms generally required a long time.
And here, the long time referred to was only relative to the human race.
The lifespan of special life forms was often calculated in millions of years, and the so-called thousands of years was just a nap.
Many special life forms would sleep for hundreds or thousands of years, equivalent to half a lifetime for ordinary human evolvers.
"Young junior brother, slow down in your cultivation. If you get any faster, you'll surpass me." Third Senior Brother joked on the side.
In the Red Kun Lineage, the Grand Peak Master was a seventh-rank peak king, and the Second and Third Peak Masters were both seventh-rank marquises.
Lin Yuan had just entered the seventh rank. In the eyes of Third Senior Brother, he was still a junior in the seventh rank.
So Third Senior Brother thought Lin Yuan hadn't surpassed him yet.
But in reality, in terms of combat power, perhaps only the Red Kun Star Master on the field could suppress Lin Yuan. Besides, even the eldest senior brother might not necessarily be his opponent.
There was no way.
The power of the world was this outrageous.
"Junior Master... um."
Fourth Senior Brother and the others glanced at each other, hesitant to speak.
"You seniors, there's no need to change how you address me."
Lin Yuan immediately spoke upon seeing this.
Since joining the Red Kun Lineage, the senior brothers had been very caring towards Lin Yuan. He had enjoyed pleasant interactions with Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, and others.
In such a situation, Lin Yuan didn't feel that he was superior just because he had reached the seventh rank. Maintaining the previous way of addressing each other was sufficient.
"Hahaha, obedient disciple, by doing this, won't they lack the motivation to cultivate diligently?" Fourth Senior Brother, Zuo Ge, and the others' faces brightened up, prompting a glare from the Red Kun Star Master beside them.
"Teacher."
Fourth Senior Brother and the others' faces immediately turned bitter.
This had nothing to do with whether they had motivation or not.
Not everyone had Lin Yuan's talent, where stepping into the seventh rank was as simple as eating and drinking.
"Alright, obedient disciple, at your age, stepping into the seventh rank is extremely rare in the entire Human Alliance's history."
The Red Kun Star Master's expression became solemn. "But don't be proud. With your talent, reaching the seventh rank is nothing special. The eighth rank is the goal, or even surpassing the eighth rank."
"To surpass the eighth rank, let's not talk about it for now, let's talk about reaching the eighth rank."
The Red Kun Star Master paused for a moment here before continuing, "To break through to the eighth rank, there are three prerequisites."
"The first is to open up an inner world."
"For eighth-rank evolvers, the inner world is their foundation. Manipulating the power of the world is the most powerful means for eighth-rank evolvers."
"Indeed."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He had now opened up his inner world too and deeply understood this point.
"The second is to have sufficient strength of mind and willpower. This can only be relied on oneself."
"If one lacks sufficient willpower, it is highly likely to fall into despair during the breakthrough to the eighth rank. At that time, even if an inner world is opened up, it would be of no use, equivalent to being a living dead person."
The Red Kun Star Master's tone became slightly solemn.
When it came to opening up an inner world, it could still be assisted by certain means, such as the World Fruit. Of course, the World Fruit was too extravagant, but treasures that were second only to the World Fruit could still provide considerable help.
But willpower?
It could only rely on personal accumulation. Many eighth-rank evolvers in history had failed in this aspect.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
In simple terms.
If using the description of the immortal world, breaking through from the seventh rank to the eighth rank required experiencing the 'trial of the heart demon.'
The heart demon originated from within, and external objects were of no use; one could only rely on oneself.
The Red Kun Star Master emphasized this point because Lin Yuan was extremely young, and he might not be good at dealing with the heart demon.
Normally, the longer one lived and the more one experienced, the greater the chances of overcoming the trial of the heart demon.
"Third. When you reach the limit of the seventh rank, you'll naturally know."
The Red Kun Star Master didn't say much more. He felt that Lin Yuan had just entered the seventh rank, and knowing too much might not necessarily be a good thing.
"Alright."
"We should also go back."
"You've just stepped into the seventh rank; you should familiarize yourself with your newfound power first."
The Red Kun Star Master glanced at the eldest senior brother and said, "Let your junior brother announce the news of your breakthrough."
"Yes."
The eldest senior brother nodded and smiled, "Now everyone outside is discussing which peak master has stepped into the seventh rank."
Red Kun Main Star.
Many forces were eagerly anticipating.
They were waiting for the Red Kun Lineage to announce the news.
According to the customs of the Red Kun Lineage, when each peak master stepped into the seventh rank, they would make a big deal out of it. After all, having an additional seventh rank would also enhance the foundation of the Red Kun Lineage.
"I'm sure it must be the Fourth Peak Master."
"Stop talking nonsense. The Sixth Peak Master is the strongest."
"Hehe, I like to be different. I think it's the Twelfth Peak Master."
Many forces argued endlessly, Some seventh-rank evolvers were acquainted with several peak masters and secretly contacted them, hoping to obtain internal information.
But they hadn't received any replies from the peak masters.
Half a day later.
The Red Kun Lineage finally announced which peak master had stepped into the seventh rank.
"It's been announced."
"Which peak master is it?"
"Let me see, it's the Thirteenth Peak Master who stepped into the seventh rank... huh? Thirteenth Peak Master?"
Many forces fell into silence at first.
It seemed like they hadn't reacted yet, still pondering who this Thirteenth Peak Master was.
But immediately after.
The situation exploded.
"Thirteenth Peak Master?"
"Wasn't the Thirteenth Peak Master a new disciple taken in by the Star Lord recently?"
"Yes, not long ago, this Thirteenth Peak Master had just stepped into the Sixth Rank. I remember that the Thirteenth Peak Master came from a medium-sized life planet."
"Thirteenth Peak Master stepping into the seventh rank, is there a mistake?"
Countless forces discussed fervently, some couldn't believe it. Even if it were the Twelfth Peak Master stepping into the seventh rank, it would be much easier to accept than the Thirteenth Peak Master stepping into the seventh rank.
However.
The announcement made by the Red Kun Lineage couldn't be wrong.
If they said it was the Thirteenth Peak Master, then it was the Thirteenth Peak Master.
"My god, the talent of the Thirteenth Peak Master is so terrifying. In less than two years, he has crossed from the Sixth Rank to the Seventh Rank."
"Sob, sob, I'm still at the Fourth Rank Stage. I give up on life."
After the initial confusion, the many forces on the Red Kun Main Star immediately launched into even more fervent discussions.
Canglan Star.
Compared to the Red Kun Main Star, which was the first to perceive that a peak master had stepped into the seventh rank, Canglan Star didn't receive any news. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't have any other thoughts.
After all, even countless citizens of Canglan Star would never imagine that the peak master who had stepped into the seventh rank would be Lin Yuan, who had become the Thirteenth Peak Master just two years ago.
Until the news from the Red Kun Lineage spread out publicly.
"What? Peak Master Lin Yuan stepped into the seventh rank?"
"So fast?"
"A few years ago, when Peak Master Lin Yuan participated in the arena competition, he was only at the fourth or fifth rank? And now he's already at the seventh rank?"
The entire population of Canglan Star, numbering in the billions, erupted into excitement upon receiving the news.
In reality, Lin Yuan becoming a peak master and stepping into the seventh rank didn't bring much substantial benefits to most citizens of Canglan Star.
The so-called resource tilt would take hundreds of years to become apparent.
But Lin Yuan was from Canglan Star, and now that Canglan Star had produced such a prominent figure, all the citizens of Canglan Star felt a surge of pride from the bottom of their hearts.
The Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage.
A lofty seventh-rank evolver.
A peerless figure that couldn't be born on many high-level life planets.
Yet the result was from their very own Canglan Star?
Wan Yang Star Domain.
Wan Yang Holy Land.
The Wan Yang Crown Prince sat cross-legged on the surface of a star, inhaling large amounts of light and heat with each breath.
As he has a rare 'Nine Yang Divine Veins', the Wan Yang Crown Prince was almost immune to extreme heat and had a strong affinity for the rules of fire.
Now that he had reached the sixth rank, he could even practice while walking on the surface of a star.
It should be noted that even sixth-rank pinnacle evolvers didn't dare to approach a star casually; sixth-rank evolvers were said to be able to destroy a planet with a single strike.
But that was just about destroying ordinary planets. A star? Being called a star meant its volume was at least tens of millions of times that of an ordinary planet.
After finishing his practice, the Wan Yang Crown Prince connected his consciousness to the virtual world.
"Rejected again?"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince glanced at the challenge he had applied for.
Since reaching the sixth rank, he had applied for a challenge against Lin Yuan every once in a while.
After all, when he was at the fifth-rank limit, Lin Yuan had defeated him with just three slaps, causing him to vomit blood and admit defeat. It was a 'shame' that the Wan Yang Crown Prince couldn't shake off in his heart.
Now that he had reached the sixth rank, with the Nine Yang Divine Veins further developed and the many secret techniques of the Wan Yang Holy Land, the Wan Yang Crown Prince believed he could regain his dignity.
"Could it be that he's afraid?"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince looked puzzled.
In the eyes of the Wan Yang Crown Prince, Lin Yuan's repeated rejection of his challenge applications could only be for this reason.
Swish.
Just then, a black-haired old man appeared.
"Your Highness."
The black-haired old man bowed slightly to the Wan Yang Crown Prince.
"What is it?"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince was thinking about Lin Yuan when he casually asked.
"Your Highness, you asked me to keep an eye on the news about the Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage."
The black-haired old man asked cautiously.
"Oh?"
"What's the news?"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince suddenly became interested.
In his eyes, Lin Yuan held special significance, so he had instructed his subordinates to pay more attention to any news related to Lin Yuan.
"Your Highness, I've just received news that a peak master of the Red Kun Lineage has stepped into the seventh rank."
The black-haired old man regained his composure and spoke even more cautiously.
"Hah?!"
The Wan Yang Crown Prince perked up at the news.
He was only interested in the Thirteenth Peak Master.
As for the other peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, whether they had stepped into the seventh rank or not, what did it have to do with him? Birth of a seventh-rank evolver was indeed a big deal for a star domain.
But looking across the Star Alliance and even neighboring star domains, there were almost new evolvers stepping into the seventh rank every now and then.
"Your Highness, the peak master who stepped into the seventh rank..."
The black-haired old man plucked up his courage and said, "It's indeed the Thirteenth Peak Master."
"Hmm?"
The Wanyang Crown Prince paused for a moment, then suddenly reacted, stood up directly, and stared at the black-haired old man.
"What did you say?!"
