Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Shen Zhen promptly said.

Lin Jianping also said with a chuckle, "Right, son, look at us, we're already enjoying life. I've delegated those matters in the Trade Association to my subordinates. With you backing us, who dares to slack off?"

In recent years, Lin Jianping indeed had a particularly comfortable life. His son had become a big shot in the Martial Temple, and the grand clans of Xianyao City vied to give him money and gifts.

"The two fruits I brought you last time, have you eaten them?" Lin Yuan casually asked.

Those two fruits could extend lifespan and improve physical constitutions. Naturally, they had no effect on Lin Yuan, but for lower-level cultivators like his parents, the benefits were almost transformative.

"I ate that fruit, and I felt decades younger, son," Lin Jianping's interest was piqued. "Do you still have more of those fruits now?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Such spirit fruit is considered a treasure even in the Martial Temple. You greedy old man, isn't one fruit enough? Do you want to put your son in a difficult position?"

Shen Zhen immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

To this day, they were unaware of Lin Yuan's specific status within the Martial Temple, knowing only that it was not low.

This was also intentional on the part of the Martial Temple's Supreme Elders, who wished to keep Lin Yuan's identity hidden. For other powers, the emergence of a peerless genius in the Martial Temple was not a pleasant prospect.

Therefore, information about Lin Yuan was kept under wraps until he had fully matured.

"I'm just asking."

Lin Jianping knew the value of such spirit fruits.

"If you want to eat them, I'll bring some more next time," Lin Yuan said with a slight smile.

With his strength now nearly invincible at the Eighth Layer, obtaining a few life-extending and fundamental-reinforcing spirit fruits was a simple task.

...

On the edge of the Xuanwang Domain.

Three Seventh Stage Martial Tao cultivators gathered together once again.

"This military campaign is almost over. The three of us can finally return," one of the Seventh Stage Martial Tao cultivators said.

His name was Shan Yang, born in the Spirit Realm, and by a stroke of luck became a disciple of the Martial Temple. With the Temple's nurturing, he spent nearly a hundred thousand years to step into the Seventh Stage of Martial Tao.

Shan Yang felt immense gratitude toward the Martial Temple; without it, he would probably have lived no differently from ordinary mortals, passing away after a century and returning to dust.

To think that he now possessed terrifying power nearly equivalent to that of a True Immortal.

"Upon our return, we can finally take a good rest," another Seventh Stage Martial Tao cultivator said sentimentally.

Fighting for the Daode Immortal Sect, they had to engage in battle with Dao Integration True Immortals every so often. Even for Seventh Stage Martial Tao cultivators, such frequent fighting was draining.

"Didn't they say that the Martial Temple has accepted a peerless genius? When we return this time, the three of us should take some time to give guidance and strive to cultivate another Seventh Rank for our Martial Tao," Li Qing suggested.

As a being who ascended from the Lower Realms, he had received personal guidance from the legendary Martial Ancestor.

Li Qing's strength had reached the Seventh-Rank Peak; if not for the lack of a clear path ahead, he would probably have already attempted the ultimate Eighth Rank.

"Hahaha, I certainly won't forget that," Shan Yang said with a grin. "When I return to the Martial Temple, I plan to take that little guy to travel through the Nine Heavens of the Vast Spirit Realm to sense its profound aura."

"To take the Spirit Realm as a teacher," Li Qing affirmed with a nod. Although he had no clear idea about the peerless genius of the Martial Temple, taking the Spirit Realm as a teacher was surely the right approach. Countless powerful beings had been nurtured in its immensity.

Traveling through the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm occasionally yielded awakenings even for them as Seventh Rank Martial Tao cultivators.

"I just don't know if the kid can withstand it; the aura of the Nine Heavens is not something ordinary people can endure," Shan Yang thought again.

"If he can't handle it, we'll just take it slow," advised Li Qing.

"You also shouldn't disregard his feelings."

"Don't worry, Elder Li. I'll be careful," Shan Yang replied with a smile.

If he detected that the youngster couldn't bear it, he would immediately halt the journey.

"I've prepared three Qingtian Spirit Elixirs," another Seventh Stage Martial Tao cultivator spoke up.

His name was Nie Yun, a being from the Spirit Realm who had stepped into the Seventh Stage of Martial Tao twenty thousand years prior.

"Qingtian Spirit Elixir? That's a Foundation Establishment divine elixir for those below the Sixth Rank. It must not have been easy to concoct a batch," Shan Yang expressed slight surprise.

"Difficult or not, it needed to be done," Nie Yun said with seriousness.

"For the prosperity of our Martial Tao."

Even though the Martial Tao Cultivation System currently had three Seventh Rank ancestors at the helm, it still didn't quite measure up to those colossal entities with millions of years of heritage.

Not to mention other forces, the Daode Immortal Sect alone could easily crush the current Martial Temple.

The Daode Immortal Sect had dozens of Dao Integration True Immortals and more than five at the Dao Integration Peak. Even more critical was the fact that the Immortal Path they pursued held the potential to ascend to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

This alone was something the Martial Tao Cultivation System could never compare with.

"For the prosperity of our Martial Tao," Li Qing said solemnly, emphasizing each word.

She vaguely remembered that it was Lin Yuan who had rescued her in the East Sea and taught her Martial Tao.

Therefore, Li Qing had long considered the things Lin Yuan wished to do as her own, which was to spread the Martial Tao Cultivation System.

It was the same in the World of Central Divine China.

Now, even in the vast Spirit Realm, Li Qing still regarded this as her lifelong goal.

...

The Martial Temple.

Within the cave dwelling.

Lin Yuan continued to attempt absorbing the orange-yellow liquid.

Boom, boom, boom.

Terrible flames burned within his body, counteracting the regenerative power produced by blood rebirth, and finally, Lin Yuan's form collapsed.

Before long.

Lin Yuan underwent blood rebirth and returned once again.

"It looks like it'll be a while before I can fully absorb the orange-yellow liquid."

Lin Yuan steadied his mind and slowly recovered from the pain experienced while absorbing the orange-yellow liquid.

So far, Lin Yuan's Inner World had been subject to a 5.2 times base enhancement; if he completely absorbed the orange-yellow liquid, it would reach a 6.66 times enhancement.

At that time, the size of the Inner World would approach twenty-six million li.

"Let's take a break first."

Lin Yuan did not immediately resume the absorption of the orange-yellow liquid.

Though the liquid inside the Mysterious Gourd could continuously enhance the strength of his physical body and Inner World,

the devastation and suppression it caused to his Spirit Will grew heavier and heavier, requiring Lin Yuan to rest for several hours after each absorption.

"Hmm?"

"The Great Supreme Elder is looking for me?"

"The three ancestors have returned?"

Suddenly, Lin Yuan received a message from the Great Supreme Elder.

"The three Seventh Stage Martial Tao... Li Qing..." Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted to the image of Li Qing.

At that time, as his Taiyang Divine Spirit roamed the East Sea, he saw a village on a small island being slaughtered by Demonic Beasts, and Lin Yuan casually saved them.

And Li Qing was from that village.

Latter on, Lin Yuan discovered that Li Qing had a not inconsiderable talent for Martial Tao cultivation, so he took her back to Baiyu Island casually.

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Yuan rose to his feet, walked out of the cave dwelling, and headed towards the Martial Temple Hall.

At this moment, inside the Martial Temple Hall.

A few Supreme Elders stood there respectfully.

Three figures were seated in the principal seats.

They were the Martial Temple's three Seventh-Rank ancestors.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were—Li Qing, Shan Yang, and Nie Yun.

"Ancestor, we have informed Lin Chang to come over," said the Great Supreme Elder respectfully.

"Hmm, I understand."

Shan Yang nodded, "After meeting him, I'll take him directly to explore the Nine Heavens."

The Nine Heavens of the Spirit Realm, strictly speaking, are located in different Spatial Layers, each one featuring unfathomable sights, either the external rules manifesting or the essence of the world revealing itself.

For lower-ranking cultivators, going to observe the Nine Heavens is akin to a great opportunity.

However, the Nine Heavens are not so easy to enter; typically, only True Immortals of the Unity Realm can enter to explore.

As for taking someone along? Whether True Immortal or Seventh-Rank who wishes to bring juniors into the Nine Heavens, they would need to pay a significant price.

And the duration is limited.

Soon.

While waiting for the three Seventh-Rank ancestors.

Lin Yuan's figure appeared, entering the hall.

"Good lad."

Shan Yang took a careful look at Lin Yuan and burst into hearty laughter, "Old Ancestor is giving you a great opportunity. Follow me to explore the Nine Heavens."

After speaking, Shan Yang's figure vanished on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing beside Lin Yuan.

Immediately after.

Shan Yang grabbed Lin Yuan's shoulder, intending to ascend directly to the Nine Heavens.

However.

The next moment.

Shan Yang's expression froze.

His right hand resting on Lin Yuan's shoulder trembled slightly.

He looked at Lin Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.

Why is he so heavy?
