True Yan Venerable? Dumbfounded Venerable!
Lin Yan then understood... why the Two-Faced Ancestor God would place a Peak Supreme Treasure on the highest peak, yet there were no restrictions on the system panel.
No other conditions are needed, because none of them matter. All that is needed is to observe the reaction of the Primordial Universe Will. For countless beings in the Primordial Universe, the grace of the Primordial Universe Will surpasses everything.
Talent?
All life is born from the universe, whether it is a unique Special Lifeform like Innate Beast God, or Primordial Ancestor who was once "invincible in the Cosmic Sea" and led the human race to its peak.
Encounters?
The Ancestor God Secret Realm contains countless treasures, all of which are monopolized by the Ancestor God Cult, because it is favored by the Primal Universe Will.
Even according to what Lin Yan knew...
The Three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestor God Cult were chosen representatives by the Primordial Universe Will long ago. They were not the Universe's Strongest, but merely the masters of the universe. However, under the deliberate favoritism of the Primordial Universe Will, the Ancestor God were granted the same privilege as the strongest beings: "their Word is Law"!
They were even directly bestowed with the Universe's Strongest Talent Secret Method in the universe by the very origin of the Primordial Universe!
"No wonder he was able to obtain such a heaven-defying Supreme Treasure as the 'Azure Lotus Divine Armor'; it turns out it was prepared for the future Guardian Divine Lord of the Ancestor God Cult," Lin Yan thought to himself.
Although he is indeed a fake, Lin Yan obtained the [Talent Secret Method "All Things Origin One"] in the Universe Origin place by opening an opportunity, and there was nothing wrong with it afterward. Now that he has a Peak Supreme Treasure, I think... there shouldn't be any problem, right?
"Perhaps you are not very familiar with the 'Guardian Divine Lord'." Seeing Lin Yan's expression, the Two-Faced Ancestor God immediately explained, "The Ancestor God Cult is divided into formal members and Outer Member, but the real battles rely more on the Outer Member. This is also the most powerful military organization in the universe!"
Lin Yan nodded.
The Ancestor God Cult has only three thousand official members, while its Outer Member are countless peerless geniuses from Myriad Races throughout the universe. Apart from the "Candidate Divine Envoy" who are at the Feng Wang Limit level, many of them, such as the "Candidate Divine General" and "inheritors of the Beast God Inheritance who have reached an extremely high level (five levels or above)," can be considered Universe Overlord!
This is also why the Ancestor God Cult's kill order is so threatening. Powerful figures like the Demon Race Alliance and the Zerg Alliance may not be worried about the Hong Alliance's threat, but the members of the Ancestor God Cult's peripheral organizations are all from major super powers in the universe. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as "enemies of the whole world".
"The Guardian Divine Lord is the highest-ranking member of the Ancestor God Cult's Outer Member! Their status is comparable to that of the Beast God. Every Guardian Divine Lord of our Ancestor God Cult is a powerful Universe Lord, such as the Lord Fengtian and the Lord Jiuyou... Ordinary Universe Lords cannot hold this position, and they even have several Universe Lords under their command." The Ancestor God looked at Lin Yan, "Lin Yan, are you willing to join the outer circle of our Ancestor God Cult Sect?"
"The peripheral organizations have always been very free, with no constraints in normal times. Occasionally, when our Ancestor God Cult has something to deal with, we will issue orders. Since you are human, we will never ask you to deal with human races. You can even refuse to carry out a mission. As long as you state the reason, the Ancestor God Cult will not force you to do so."
"Of course, I understand your situation. You are being targeted by the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Mechanical race. So until your strength is no longer a problem in this regard, the Ancestor God Cult will not issue you any missions."
"I'm willing to join," Lin Yan said without hesitation.
He'd already received three Supreme Treasure from them; how could he possibly refuse such a small matter?
Moreover, his cultivation and Fusion Law can save him a lot of effort in the Ancestor God Cult's Inheritance Land. Once the Beast God Inheritance is fully accepted to the fifth level or above, one must Ancestor God Cult Sect's peripheral organization. Now that he has been personally invited by the Ancestor God to join, it may not be a bad thing.
"Alright." A smile appeared on the fair and benevolent face of the Two-Faced Ancestor God. "This is the 'Ancestor God Token'."
A Black Token appeared out of thin air in his hand and was handed to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan instinctively felt the black token was icy to the touch. There were only two characters on the Black Token, and the characters were composed of countless secret patterns, but one glance was enough to tell that they were the words "Ancestor God".
"After imprinting the Life Imprint, you can contact the Ancestor God Cult through this Ancestor God Token. The Ancestor God Cult also issues missions through the Ancestor God Token. As long as you are within the universe, you can contact each other through the Ancestor God Token, but of course... it is limited to text communication." The Two-Faced Ancestor God said with a smile.
"Understood." Lin Yan nodded and then imprinted the Life Imprint on it.
The Two-Faced Ancestor God nodded, looking quite pleased.
In his opinion, although Lin Yan's strength is not strong enough now, his potential is limitless and he is even above Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Hunter King!
However, given Lin Yan's cultivation path, which is not primarily focused on the Path of the Beast God, he might one day devote himself entirely to studying the "Space-Time Dao" and stop coming to Purple Thorn Island. If he is not invited to join in advance, this future peerless powerhouse might just run away!
"Haha, now that you've joined my Ancestor God Cult, you'll certainly have some benefits." The Ancestor God smiled at Lin Yan. "You should have heard that the Bug Hunter King was publicly bestowed with two Supreme Treasure... You've just obtained three great treasures, so I can't bestow anything more upon you."
"But right now you're mostly known for your extraordinary talent. If you can prove your strength, you could have that opportunity and receive the same public recognition."
"Publicly bestowed... Ordinary Supreme Treasure?" Lin Yan thought to himself.
The benefits he received this time were so great that he wasn't very interested in the benefits the Ancestor God mentioned; at most, he estimated it to be just an Ordinary Supreme Treasure of the highest level.
"Sigh, I've really gotten too arrogant." Lin Yan began to criticize himself in his heart. "The Qianwu Country Lord, as High-grade Venerable, was driven to the brink of suicide by debt collection because he owed 3.8 Supreme Treasure Points. Why should I, a World Master, not care about Ordinary Supreme Treasure?"
"Is this even acceptable?!"
With a thought, he calculated his entire fortune, not considering the "Origin Supreme Treasure Nucleus," which was roughly around 1700 Supreme Treasure Points.
1700 Supreme Treasure Points?
That's all!
"It's a priceless Supreme Treasure, after all. Why not take it?" Lin Yan muttered to himself.
Of course, obtaining it won't be easy. Proving one's strength... this is in comparison to the Bug Hunter King. Just thinking about the requirements for him makes it clear that they are not simple. They probably have to be at least comparable to ordinary Universe Venerable.
He thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly flashed.
"I have a question I'd like to ask the Ancestor God," Lin Yan said softly.
"Hmm?" The Ancestor God looked at him in confusion. "Tell me."
"I came to the Ancestor God Cult because my understanding of the Space Law has reached a bottleneck. I came here to cultivate and learn from the Path of the Beast God, to accumulate experience, and to strive to become Universe Venerable," Lin Yan said. "However... in fact, the Path of the Beast God that I have been studying is not just one. So I would like to ask the Ancestor God if there is any opportunity, besides the Path of the Beast God that is fused with time, to receive the inheritance of the other seven Paths of the Path of the Beast God in the Inheritance Land?"
"Not one type?"
When the Ancestor God heard Lin Yan say that his Law Comprehension of time and space had reached a bottleneck, he was somewhat surprised. However, when he heard that the Path of the Beast God he was researching was not a single one, he immediately stopped and showed a look of astonishment.
What does it mean that the study of the Path of the Beast God is not a single one?
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded. "My attainments in the Path of the Wood Beast God are deeper."
As he was speaking, he raised his palm like a knife.
Wow!
A dazzling emerald light shone forth, accompanied by a faint, ancient roar, as if it came from the distant past.
"This..." The Ancestor God was stunned. "You have actually reached the threshold of the Fourth Layer in the Path of the Wood Beast God?"
With his level of understanding, he could naturally see it at a glance.
Having reached this level in the Path of the Beast God, one is already infinitely close to the complete Space Law, and Lin Yan's secret techniques and ultimate moves seem to be... quite good even among the Peak Ultimate Skill.
How the hell did they cultivate like that?
Both faces of the Two-Faced Ancestor God fell into deep thought.
"That's why I'm seeking guidance from the Ancestor God," Lin Yan said respectfully.
Strictly speaking, he reached the fourth level of the Beast God Artistic Conception, and his understanding of the Mu Kong Fusion Law was not yet perfected at the third level, but the nature of the three levels was similar. He relied on the Beast God Artistic Conception to drive his secret techniques and ultimate moves.
"Actually, this situation does exist, but those are all universe masters, because comprehending several Path of the Beast God at the same time will affect their comprehension of the Heart of the Beast God." The Ancestor God frowned slightly. "If you can't comprehend the Heart of the Beast God, you can't enter the universe master realm by relying on the Path of the Beast God. Once you become a universe master, you don't need to consider this issue."
"Learn from it, learn from it." Lin Yan smiled somewhat awkwardly.
He cultivates the Path of the Beast God mainly to Fusion Law, which is the only way to Law Comprehension in the future. He cannot fail to take advantage of the convenience of this Inheritance Land. As for transforming into Beast God, he doesn't care much about it.
The Heart of the Beast God was too ethereal and unfathomable, so Lin Yan hadn't even considered it. Based on his understanding of the Space Law, relying on the Fusion Law to achieve a breakthrough in the "Space-Time Dao" was far more realistic.
"Learning from..." The Ancestor God shook his head and smiled wryly. Who would have thought that a genius with such high attainments in the Path of the Beast God would come to learn from this?
However, Lin Yan has already reached a bottleneck in his understanding of the Time Law, which is hard to refute.
"Alright then," the Ancestor God pondered, "The previous agreement still stands, but the treasures bestowed will be exchanged for access to the Inheritance Land. Whether you can obtain them, and when you can obtain them, depends on your own performance."
"However, authority is one thing, but there's only one way to get extra opportunities to inherit the legacy. You'll have to figure it out yourself; no one else can help you with that."
"Thank you, Ancestor God." Lin Yan bowed respectfully.
He was overjoyed. Compared to an Ordinary Supreme Treasure, the authority over the Inheritance Land was obviously more important, and this was exactly the result he had been hoping for.
"Haha, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you achieve. I'm getting more and more excited about what surprises you'll bring me," the Two-Faced Ancestor God laughed. "You can figure out what to do yourself. I'm going back to the Ancestor God Palace now."
The Two-Faced Ancestor God immediately turned and left.
In just three steps, the figure blurred and completely disappeared.
"Surprise?" Lin Yan shook his head inwardly as he watched the Two-Faced Ancestor God disappear. If he knew that I was just a World Master, he would definitely be very surprised.
However, thinking that his goal in coming to the Ancestor God Cult was gradually getting closer to his expectations, he was also in a good mood.
"Let's go to the King Li Shuo's place first."
Lin Yan walked directly towards the main gate of the mansion.
Inside the palace of King Li Shuo.
Because of Lin Yan of the treasure, a celebration banquet was specially prepared for him. Originally, there was also a plan to introduce some Hong Alliance inheritors to him. However, considering that King Xuanyuan had just been assassinated, the main attendees of the banquet were some human immortal inheritors.
King Chaman, King Li Shuo, King Seven Swords, and so on, as well as a Universe Venerable — True Yan Venerable.
During the banquet.
"It seems that True Yan Venerable is acquainted with King Xuanyuan?" King Li Shuo asked curiously.
"Yes, when I first entered Chaos City, I also received guidance from True Yan Venerable. His beloved disciple, Luo Feng, is my close friend." Lin Yan smiled at him, his voice clear and bright.
"Luo Feng? I've also heard of that peerless genius who was taken as a personal disciple by the Chaos City Lord," said King Chaman.
Lin Yan nodded slightly, but his thoughts were wandering.
Speaking of Luo Feng... he has been shut down his Virtual Universe reception for hundreds of years, which is normal for cultivators, but Lin Yan calculated the time and knew that he must be undergoing the Star Tower recognition process now.
I'm happy for him, but I can't help feeling a little worried about him.
For Luo Feng, acquiring such a rare cosmic treasure and having it recognize him as its master would be a perilous journey, but Lin Yan believed that he could persevere until the very end, just like in the story.
"Don't even mention it! I was cultivating when I received news from the Virtual Universe that Lin Yan had opened the treasure in the Treasure Land. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed it." True Yan Venerable shook his head and sighed.
Whether it was Zhen Yan didn't know; he felt quite dumbfounded.
Back in Chaos City, he was dumbfounded when he saw Lin Yan break through the Tongtian Bridge.
Unexpectedly, now that they've arrived at the Ancestor God Cult, they're even more dumbfounded to see Lin Yan the treasure.
"Who would believe this? The most terrifying genius of our human race's Universe Lineage, with a mere shake of his head, has become Second Level Inheritor of the Ancestor God Cult!" King Li Shuo laughed heartily. "Those Alien Race are practically going crazy discussing it."
He looked at Lin Yan and explained, "After the news of your presence in the Treasure Land spread, the Alien Race searched for newcomers' login traces in the Black Book of the Glory World. They found an account named 'Yan' with the annotation 'human' among the Second Level Inheritor. Originally, they all thought you hadn't followed the Path of the Beast God!"
The Glory World is a virtual world of the Ancestor God Cult.
Its coverage is limited to the Ancestor God Secret Realm, and its functions cannot be compared with the all-encompassing Virtual Universe that has many Plane Space. It is only divided into two spaces: "Glory Open-air Field" and "Battle World".
The former is actually an Open-air Bar, providing a place for the inheritors to gather.
The latter involves earning Glory Points through battles, which can then be exchanged for additional inheritance opportunities.
Lin Yan had logged in once before, and in order not to reveal his identity, he named himself with the single character "Yan". After the Treasure Land became famous, he was naturally found by the Alien Race.
Second Level Inheritor must have fully comprehended the First Level of Beast God Inheritance. Although they are still at the bottom of Purple Thorn Island, everyone knows that King Xuanyuan walks the Path of Space-Time, which is completely different.
"Actually, it should be the third level."
Lin Yan picked up his wine glass and said with a smile, "It's just that after I comprehended the second level, I haven't been to the Inheritance Land to receive the third level of inheritance, so the information in the Glory World hasn't been updated."
The words had barely left his mouth.
"The third level?"
Everyone present was shocked and stunned.
The purple-armored figure with seven sword marks between his brows was particularly incredulous.
The King Seven Swords is a well-known inheritor on Purple Thorn Island, mainly because he obtained a treasure in the Treasure Land. That treasure was the place where a Super Existence in the Ancestor God Cult left his legacy!
Before that, thanks to the "Seven Swords Inheritance," he and King Meng Sui had become two Immortal Genius who were given special attention and nurtured by humanity in this generation.
In addition to the legacy left by the Beast God, the King Seven Swords will be extremely terrifying once he goes berserk, especially with his unparalleled ability to survive. After the Treasure Land is harvested, his actual status among the human race will surpass that of the King Meng Sui, making him the most outstanding Immortal Genius of this generation of humans.
But after the appearance of the King Xuanyuan, faced with this insurmountable gap... even he could only look up in awe.
This wasn't the first time the King Seven Swords and Lin Yan had met. Lin Yan was present during the battle that made King Xuanyuan famous, when he killed King Fatefall.
Although he was far inferior to Lin Yan in terms of strength and talent, the King Seven Swords still did not easily admit defeat, because his greatest strength was "fortune"—his luck was the envy of many powerful people among humans.
But...
Faced with the three great treasures that were opened today, this pride was completely shattered. But what the King Seven Swords never expected was that Lin Yan could even achieve the same level as him, a pure "Beast God Inheritor," in the casual cultivation of the Path of the Beast God.
"There are many geniuses in this universe. There are always people better than you and heavens beyond heavens. Looking at Purple Thorn Island, I can only be considered average among them."
"But where is your limit?"
"Whether it's the human race or the Ancestor God Cult, all those so-called peerless geniuses pale in comparison to you. King Xuanyuan, just how many secrets are you still hiding?"
The King Seven Swords said silently.
He suddenly thought of his teacher, the Lord Lanzang in the Giant Axe Arena; his calm voice still seemed to echo in his ears:
"If you can surpass Luo Feng and Rong Jun in your life, that will be truly great."
"And that person, you don't need to look at him, because he is not a target you should chase or surpass."
"His existence is only to teach you to see the cruelty of this universe, to wake you up from your former confidence and pride, and to make you understand... No matter how bright the stars in the night sky are, when the sun rises, they cannot shine even a little Fensun."
