Chapter 257

Chapter 257

"Master's parents and relatives have not broken through to the Dao Fusion Stage" Li Qing hesitated for a moment before saying softly.

Without breaking through to the Dao Fusion Stage, relying on the longevity of the Void Refinement Stage, at most, they could live for only a hundred or two hundred thousand years.

It's impossible for them to be alive now, which means they passed away long ago.

"Have they all gone?" Lin Yuan was not surprised by the news and sighed inwardly.

This is the most normal situation. Breaking through from the sixth rank of martial arts to the seventh rank is extremely difficult, as is breaking through from the Void Refinement Stage to the Dao Fusion Stage.

Although Jun Dongjin had a mutated heavenly root, one of the rarest qualifications in the Immortal World, it was not so outstanding in the Spirit Realm.

In the Spirit Realm, apart from spiritual roots determining one's qualifications, there are also many Dao bodies.

Jun Dongjin cultivated to the peak of the Void Refinement Stage but ultimately failed to break through to the Dao Fusion Stage and was severely injured.

Mu Lian'er did not reach the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, and neither did Jun Xiaoyao and Jun Zilan.

With the help of the means left by Lin Yuan, they smoothly stepped into the Void Refinement Stage and ascended to the Spirit Realm, but their subsequent cultivation progress was slow.

"How have they been doing?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"They have been doing well. The Daoist Immortal Sect has not mistreated them," Li Qing immediately said. Before knowing Lin Yuan's whereabouts, the Daoist Immortal Sect did not dare to have any designs on Jun Dongjin and the others.

Taking care of Jun Dongjin and the others was not even a burden for the vast Daoist Immortal Sect. Immortal Cang Qing even summoned Jun Dongjin and the others several times to preach to them.

But breaking through from the Void Refinement Stage to the Dao Fusion Stage is not something that can be achieved by a few sermons or ample resources.

Otherwise, the Daoist Immortal Sect would have had everyone become True Immortals, not just a few dozen True Immortals holding the fort.

"Before his passing, Master's father asked me not to give up on finding you," Li Qing's voice was somewhat somber.

"Such a pity." Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. If he had transmigrated earlier, the outcome might have been different.

"In the future, if I become the strongest one, I can try to revive them," Lin Yuan thought silently.

The strongest one controls the complete rules of time and space, can reverse time, go against the current, and retrieve the past deceased beings to revive them.

Before their deaths, Jun Dongjin and Jun Zilan were at the Void Refinement Stage, equivalent to the sixth rank. Their life essence was strong, and even if their life essence hadn't intentionally merged with the Spirit Realm, living so long had already recorded their essence in the Spirit Realm.

As long as Lin Yuan becomes the strongest one, he should be able to descend to this realm, reverse time, and revive them.

As for dying again due to their longevity being exhausted, Lin Yuan can extend their longevity within those few breaths.

The methods to extend longevity in the Spirit Realm may be useless, but in the Main World, there are plenty.

As for the world's backlash from reviving beings, reviving a few sixth-rank beings would be negligible for the strongest one.

"Also, Master's elder brother and second sister's descendants are doing well in the Daoist Immortal Sect," Li Qing added, seemingly remembering something.

With Lin Yuan's connection, Li Qing, a martial arts seventh rank comparable to a True Immortal, was certainly a pillar for the Jun family's descendants.

As long as Li Qing lived, the Jun family's descendants wouldn't have a bad life, and Immortal Cang Qing was watching over them.

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan looked at Li Qing.

"Master, do you want me to bring some of the outstanding descendants of the Jun family to visit you?" Li Qing asked tentatively.

"That would be fine," Lin Yuan thought for a moment. Since he had some ties with the Jun family, it wouldn't hurt to see them now that he had returned.T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

"Good." Li Qing closed her eyes and immediately began to make contact.

As a general who fought for the Daoist Immortal Sect, Li Qing naturally had means to directly contact them.

"Should I keep Master's news hidden?"

After sending the message, Li Qing cautiously asked, "Immortal Cang Qing once told me to inform him immediately if there was any news about Master."

"Immortal Cang Qing is still alive?" Lin Yuan was interested.

This old guy's performance was quite satisfactory, at least he didn't kick them while they were down during Lin Yuan's absence.

From what Lin Yuan knew, back in the Immortal World, Immortal Cang Qing had already lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

Now, after hundreds of thousands of years, even a Dao Fusion Stage peak True Immortal should have almost reached the end of his life span, right?

"Immortal Cang Qing passed the Mind Tribulation, so his life span is much longer than that of a normal True Immortal," Li Qing immediately said.

To advance from the Dao Fusion Stage to the Tribulation Stage, immortal cultivators need to pass two major tribulations.

One is the Physical Tribulation.

The other is the Mind Tribulation.

The latter is similar to the Heart Demon Tribulation.

For immortal cultivators, the most difficult tribulation to pass is the Physical Tribulation.

Most of their techniques do not focus on the physical body, and facing the five decays of heaven and man in the Physical Tribulation, the body decays.

There are hardly any means of resistance.

"I see," Lin Yuan nodded.

A Dao Fusion Stage True Immortal who has passed the Mind Tribulation, though still far from a Tribulation Stage Immortal King, has transformed in soul and will.

The soul's life span is extended to a certain extent.

For a True Immortal, if the body decays, they can simply get a new one.

As long as the soul exists, they can be considered immortal.

"No need to hide it," Lin Yuan said calmly.

Hide it?

Why should it be hidden?

Now that Lin Yuan had regained all his strength and advanced further, he was a peerless powerhouse even among Tribulation Stage Immortal Kings, no weaker than the supreme Immortal Kings.

In such a situation, there was no need to hide.

"Understood."

When Jun Dongjin ascended to the Spirit Realm, he was severely injured by an ancient dragon saint from the Huai Dragon Palace during the peak of the Void Refinement Stage.

Without that injury, Jun Dongjin might have had a chance to break through to the Dao Fusion Stage.

Of course, it was just a possibility. In reality, he would probably still fail to break through.

But at least the backlash would be lighter, and he could live a few hundred years longer.

Above the Spirit Realm.

From top to bottom, there are nine heavens.

Each heaven contains certain phenomena, or the manifestation of the essence of the Dao, or some kind of "wonder" involving the essence of the world.

In the Fourth Heaven.

A figure burning like a great sun stood with its back facing.

It was Lin Yuan's Yang Primordial Spirit.

"With my current strength, I can only reach the Fourth Heaven. As for the Fifth Heaven..."

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky, where dark clouds gathered, interwoven with countless pale purple lightning.

To enter the Fifth Heaven, one must pass the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation, which is far more terrifying than the Physical Tribulation of breaking through to the Tribulation Stage.

Although Dao Fusion Stage True Immortals can roam the nine heavens of the Spirit Realm, such powerhouses mostly stay in the First and Second Heavens.

As for the Third Heaven, they can hardly enter, and the Fourth Heaven is the realm of Tribulation Stage Immortal Kings.

The Fifth Heaven? Probably only the strongest among the Immortal Kings could withstand the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation.

The Yang Primordial Spirit, after all, is just a primordial spirit, its combat power far less than the true body. Unless the Yin and Yang merge into the Tai Chi Primordial Spirit, there is a risk of the primordial spirit collapsing if it undergoes the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation.

"Forget it."

"Let's wait a bit longer."

"I can feel that the fusion of the Yin and Yang rules is almost complete."

"When the time comes, my primordial spirit will surely increase in power."

Lin Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation.

Since recreating the world within his body, the Yin rule had been merging with the Yang rule, forming a light sphere, hanging above the sky of the internal world, and slowly transforming.

Lin Yuan had a feeling that once the transformation was complete, the fusion of the Yin and Yang rules would produce an incredible change.

In the cave.

Lin Yuan was meditating.

At this moment, he quietly opened his eyes.

Swoosh! In the internal world.

Lin Yuan's consciousness avatar appeared.

He looked up at the light sphere composed entirely of Yin and Yang energy.

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt a sense of unease, vaguely sensing that the transformation within the light sphere had reached its final stage.

Crack. A sound of breaking, only Lin Yuan could hear, suddenly rang in his ears.

The light sphere in the sky began to crack gradually.

Buzz.

Strands of new power, or rather rules, slowly emerged.

This power was black and white, seemingly no different from before, even in the infinitely microscopic realm.

This signified a complete fusion. The newly born power or rule was no longer a combination of Yin and Yang but inherently so.

The flawless black and white power transformed into perfect Tai Chi power and quickly integrated into the internal world.

"This..."

Lin Yuan's consciousness returned to reality.

He raised his right hand, and the pure black and white Yin-Yang power emitted a dreamy glow, slowly influencing the surroundings.

At this moment.

Lin Yuan felt an absolute sense of control.

Within his perception range, he could control everything.

"This feeling is so similar to the cosmic power of an invincible eighth rank in the Main World?"

Lin Yuan's eyes brightened. Although the invincible eighth rank in the Main World cannot be replicated, its characteristics are well documented.

Among them is the description of cosmic power comprehended by invincible eighth ranks.

Almost all invincible eighth ranks have a common feature in their cosmic power.

That is control.

Control everything.

Absolute control.

"The fusion of Yin and Yang into Tai Chi is actually a form of cosmic power?"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed. Now, even without relying on the 26-million-mile internal world or various innate divine powers and secret techniques, he could still contend with other invincible eighth ranks.

Because he himself was now invincible at the eighth rank.
