Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 250

Confused and disoriented.

When Lin Yuan's consciousness awakened, he found himself lying on a bed.

"I'm human." Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

With the experience of his sixth transmigration, Lin Yuan realized—

The body he transmigrated into might not necessarily be human; it could be of another race.

Although other forms of life aren't necessarily bad, a human body provided Lin Yuan with more opportunities.

If he had transmigrated into certain special life forms, he might not have been able to practice martial arts.

"My current situation..."

Lin Yuan began to browse through the memories of his 'original body.'

"Dongyun State, Xuan King Domain?"

Information about the Spirit Realm emerged in Lin Yuan's mind.

It was all learned from the Daoist Immortal Sect. The Spirit Realm was vast and endless, with its most prosperous region comprising three thousand Dao States.

Dongyun Dao State was one of these three thousand Dao States.

Dongyun Dao State encompassed more than twenty thousand large domains, with Xuan King Domain being one of them.

"Xuan King Domain."

Lin Yuan pondered.

If he remembered correctly, the Daoist Immortal Sect was located in the Xuan King Domain and was one of the three major forces in this domain.

"I didn't expect this kind of beginning."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Daoist Immortal Sect here was naturally the force established by the true immortal ancestors of the Daoist Immortal Sect from the Immortal World.

"Xiaoyao City."

Lin Yuan's expression turned strange. In the original body's memories, Xiaoyao City was also known by another name—

Martial Ancestor City.

It was a city designated by an important figure from the Daoist Immortal Sect.

The numerous cultivators in Martial Ancestor City practiced not the Immortal Dao cultivation system but the Martial Dao cultivation system.

"Martial Dao?"

Lin Yuan was almost certain that the Martial Dao here was the same one he had spread in the Immortal World.

In his deal with the Cangqing Immortal, Lin Yuan had proposed that if future Martial Dao practitioners in the Zhongtu World could reach the sixth rank, they could use the Ascension Platform to ascend to the Spirit Realm.

Now it seemed that the Cangqing Immortal had kept his promise.

"At least hundreds of thousands of years have passed."

Lin Yuan thought silently.

After the sixth transmigration, he had undergone the seventh transmigration and cultivated in the main world for some time.

Although it added up to less than thirty years,

this was thirty years in the main world. With the significant time flow difference between the two worlds, at least hundreds of thousands of years had passed in the Immortal World.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for sixth-rank Martial Dao practitioners to emerge, ascend to the Spirit Realm, and establish Xiaoyao City.

"Xiaoyao City... Martial Ancestor City."

Lin Yuan's expression turned strange. During the sixth transmigration, he had spread the Martial Dao and was known as the Ancestor of Martial Dao. His name was Jun Wuji.

Lin Yuan guessed that this Xiaoyao City might have been established by the disciples he had accepted back then.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

"I wonder if I can still meet those old acquaintances." Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered. According to the arrangements he had made before leaving, his parents, elder brother, and second sister wouldn't have difficulty reaching the sixth rank.

They were likely to have ascended to the Spirit Realm too.

But he didn't know if they were still alive. Being only at the sixth rank, equivalent to the Void Refinement stage, they might not have survived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"My current identity is that of the eldest young master of the Lin family, a somewhat notable family in Xiaoyao City."

Lin Yuan sat up from the bed and took a deep breath.

"Such abundant spiritual power."

Lin Yuan was slightly amazed. There were no spiritual veins near Xiaoyao City. After all, most cultivators in the city practiced Martial Dao.

The demand for spiritual veins wasn't as critical as for Immortal Dao practitioners.

But even so, the concentration of spiritual energy Lin Yuan felt was no less than that of the Daoist Immortal Mountain, which occupied the largest spiritual vein in the Immortal World.

"No wonder those ancient Void Refinement saints all longed to ascend to the Spirit Realm with such a cultivation environment..."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

This was just Xiaoyao City. If he were in one of the sacred cultivation grounds, the concentration of spiritual energy would be even higher.

It might even transform into a higher-level energy, known as 'Immortal Qi' in the legends of the Immortal Realm.

"Does this body also practice Martial Dao?" Lin Yuan carefully sensed his own body and concluded.

To enter the Immortal Dao cultivation system, one must have spiritual roots. This was a rule.

But even in the Spirit Realm, the majority of beings still didn't have spiritual roots, and most of those who did had low-quality spiritual roots.

Even if they barely entered the Qi Refinement stage, they would most likely stop at the Foundation Establishment stage.

This gave Xiaoyao City its footing.

The Martial Dao cultivation system didn't require spiritual roots.

As long as one had sufficient vitality, they could cultivate.

This gave hope to a large number of ordinary people without spiritual roots.

Even some cultivators with low-quality spiritual roots would switch to cultivating Martial Dao if they found they had talent in it.

Overall, the Martial Dao cultivation system was still a relatively niche practice, mostly spreading within the Xuan King Domain. Outside of it, almost no one knew about it.

This was understandable.

Although the Martial Dao didn't require spiritual roots, its upper limit was far below that of the Immortal Dao.

Potential cultivators would certainly choose the Immortal Dao first. Only when they were sure they had no hope in the Immortal Dao would they consider Martial Dao.

Who would practice martial arts if they could cultivate immortality?

"Before I left, I left behind twelve paths to break through to the seventh rank of Martial Dao. These paths were not perfect and could hardly compete with the Dao Fusion stage of the Immortal Dao."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Currently, his seventh rank was the perfect seventh rank he had integrated and perfected in the main world.

It was far superior to the twelve seventh-rank paths he left behind in the Immortal World.

Even so, the seventh rank was the upper limit of Martial Dao. Compared to the infinitely potential Immortal Dao cultivation system, it was naturally far inferior.

"Xiaoyao City is under the protection of the Daoist Immortal Sect. There are many families in the city, but the most powerful is still the 'Martial Temple.'"

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Martial Temple was a sacred place in Xiaoyao City, said to be related to the Martial Ancestor.

When Xiaoyao City was first established, several seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners joined forces to create the Martial Temple, promoting the Martial Dao cultivation system to this day.

Without the Martial Temple as a foundation, constantly producing Martial Dao practitioners, the existence of the Martial Dao cultivation system would be uncertain.

"My primary task now is to improve my strength." Lin Yuan focused his thoughts.

Although this body also practiced Martial Dao, its realm was too low. It hadn't even reached the Grandmaster realm, let alone the second rank; it was far from completing the first rank.

After a brief cultivation, correcting many mistakes in the original body's practice, Lin Yuan left the room.

Unlike the Immortal Dao, Martial Dao didn't have an insatiable thirst for spiritual energy, but it still required resources.

In fact, Martial Dao required a lot of resources, especially at the sixth rank, where opening the internal world demanded a mountain of resources.

Of course, the perfect seventh-rank path Lin Yuan created required even more resources. The Martial Dao system in the Spirit Realm had only reached the seventh rank without his further input. Maintaining its existence was already good.

The Spirit Realm was vast, with the Immortal Dao cultivation system dominating, while many other cultivation systems coexisted. Martial Dao's presence was not prominent.

As Lin Yuan walked out of the courtyard, a maid soon noticed him.

"Young Master, you're awake?" This maid, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, had been nurtured by the Lin family since childhood.

Even for a family like the Lin family, which was rooted in Xiaoyao City, the Immortal Dao cultivation system was more valued.

Soon, Lin Yuan's parents arrived.

"Chang'er, are you alright?" A beautiful woman walked over, looked at Lin Yuan carefully, and smiled, "How do you feel now?"

"Not bad." Lin Yuan nodded.

According to the memories, the original body loved the Martial Dao system but, due to impatience, encountered problems during cultivation and fell into a coma.

This allowed Lin Yuan's consciousness to awaken.

"Chang'er, you have spiritual roots. Even though they are three spiritual roots, you can still cultivate the Immortal Dao. Why focus on Martial Dao?"

The original body's father, Lin Jianping, had built the Lin family from scratch, making it a model of success in Xiaoyao City.

The Lin family had over ten branches in Xiaoyao City. Lin Jianping was well-informed and knew that the Immortal Dao system was far superior to Martial Dao.

Beyond the Xuan King Domain, in the three thousand Dao States, the real stage belonged to those heavenly prodigies practicing the Immortal Dao.

Lin Jianping didn't have high expectations for his son but didn't want him to suffer the hardships of Martial Dao.

Cultivating Martial Dao required body refinement, which was more torturous than cultivating the Immortal Dao.

"I like Martial Dao."

Lin Yuan said casually.

This was also the original body's thought.

With Lin Yuan's consciousness revived, he had no doubts about practicing Martial Dao.

As for the Immortal Dao? He might borrow from it later, but his foundation would certainly be in Martial Dao.

"Like Martial Dao?"

Lin Jianping was a bit troubled.

His son was perfect in every way, very sensible since childhood, but very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could change it.

Most Martial Dao practitioners either had no spiritual roots or had low-quality spiritual roots, so they had no choice but to practice Martial Dao.

But Lin Yuan? With three spiritual roots, although not the best, he had a fair chance of reaching the Golden Core stage with some luck.

"A'Da."

Lin Jianping raised his right hand, and a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Take some of the century-old and millennium-old Blood Ganoderma and Jade Ginseng from the various branches and give them to Chang'er for cultivation."

Martial Dao practitioners initially focused on physical refinement, which could be accelerated with external items.

"Yes."

The figure named 'A'Da' bowed slightly.

"A'Da?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the figure behind Lin Jianping.

"A third-rank Martial Dao practitioner?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In Xiaoyao City, Martial Dao practitioners were the majority. Despite Lin Jianping's reluctance for his son to practice Martial Dao, in reality, the Martial Dao system had considerable influence in the Xuan King Domain.

After all, several seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners comparable to Dao Fusion stage true immortals had emerged.

Lin Jianping was worried that his son wouldn't properly understand Martial Dao and end up ruining his body.

"Son, you should focus on your Martial Dao. I'll find a master for you in the next few days." Lin Jianping patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and then left with the beautiful woman.

"Find a master?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and didn't refuse.

Given the previous incident of fainting while practicing Martial Dao, refusing now might cause his parents more concern.

Lin Jianping and the beautiful woman went to a hall.

The beautiful woman, Shen Zhen, gave Lin Jianping a sideways glance, "What kind of master do you want to find for Chang'er?"

In Xiaoyao City, Martial Dao practitioners were as numerous as the carp in the river, but true Martial Dao experts were few. Fourth-rank and above were rare.

"My son, Lin Jianping's son, deserves the best if he wants to practice Martial Dao."

Lin Jianping thought for a while and made up his mind, "I plan to let Chang'er go to the Martial Temple to experience the 'Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance.'"

"Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance?"

Shen Zhen blinked, then understood, "You're really willing to go that far, Old Lin?"

In Xiaoyao City, the place with the highest concentration of Martial Dao practitioners was undoubtedly the Martial Temple.

As the foundation of Martial Dao, the seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners who founded the Martial Temple left behind several Divine Radiances to ensure the inheritance of the Martial Dao system.

These Divine Radiances illustrated the essence of Martial Dao as understood by those seventh-rank practitioners and were also related to the mysterious Martial Ancestor.

Hence, they were called the Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance.

The Divine Radiance had two functions. One was to let the perceiver understand the essence of Martial Dao as understood by those seventh-rank practitioners.

The second was to determine the perceiver's strength in the Martial Dao system.

Especially the first function, which was akin to indirect guidance from those seventh-rank practitioners.

Seventh-rank Martial Dao practitioners, comparable to Dao Fusion stage true immortals, were significant figures overseeing the Xuan King Domain.

Of course, to enter the Martial Temple and perceive the Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance, unless one had remarkable talent and was valued by the Martial Temple, one could only take the back door.

Taking the back door meant paying an extra cost to follow talented disciples of the Martial Temple and perceive some of the remaining Divine Radiance.

Even so, for the Lin family, letting Lin Yuan perceive the Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance once would cost nearly half their family fortune.

This was despite the Lin family being rooted in Xiaoyao City for many years. Otherwise, outsiders wouldn't even have the chance to take the back door.

[Name: Lin Chang (Lin Yuan)]

[Identity: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms]

[Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight]

[Divine Power: Blood Rebirth, Moving Mountain]

[Current Status: Consciousness Descended]

[Remaining Stay Time: 920 years]

In the room, Lin Yuan glanced at the phantom text in the lower left corner of his vision.

"The stay time this time is 920 years?"

Lin Yuan was quite satisfied. With such a long time, the eighth rank of Martial Dao could almost certainly be developed.

"I'm currently too weak. To recover to the eighth rank, a lot of resources are needed."

Lin Yuan grabbed a large portion of millennium-old Blood Ganoderma and swallowed it, absorbing the surging energy quickly.

"The first to sixth ranks are not a problem, but the peak of the sixth rank and the seventh rank? Opening the internal world requires a vast amount of resources."

In the main world, Lin Yuan consumed tons of 'Red Spirit Liquid' to open his internal world.

"Forget it."

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Lin Yuan focused his thoughts and continued to cultivate.
