Awakening Talent, the New Panwang Mountain Master!

Heavenly Realm Stone, Inheritance Land.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged atop the mountain peak, as the vast Heaven and Earth Power continuously merged into his body and soul with the execution of the "Pan Wang Sky-Opening Art," tapping into the potential of his body and soul.

During this long period of time, not a single thought arose in his soul. His soul was completely relaxed, merging with heaven and earth, and the distance his soul could perceive far exceeded the range that any secret technique could detect.

However, the "Sky Opening Art" requires complete immersion to perceive an incredibly vast area, making it unsuitable for use in combat.

In the sea of clouds.

The Green Divine Bird Mars with each breath, and every azure feather on its body appeared incomparably sacred as it looked down at Lin Yan from the sea of clouds.

"Three hundred years..." Qing Cang sighed softly, "The first step of the Original System is 'awakening talent'. The stronger the soul and body, the more difficult it is to awaken talent."

"Many powerful cultivators in the Universe Rule System have also cultivated the Original System. Normally, even Law Master would only need a hundred years to take this first step. Lin Yan is merely Law Venerable, and in the past three hundred years... he still hasn't been able to tap into the hidden Soul Potential."

"It seems he has great talent."

Qing Cang was filled with anticipation.

The Sky Opening Art, also known as the "Awakening Art," is a secret technique personally created by Panwang and is the most important cornerstone of the Original System. The length of time it takes to awaken this talent can also reflect some of its superiority or inferiority.

A long awakening time does not necessarily mean strength, but a short awakening time is usually enough to indicate that one is not strong enough.

"Judging from the fact that he was able to create Tier 6 peak secret technique at the level of Universe Venerable, it is enough to show that his aptitude and comprehension are no less than those who Saint Existence. Looking at the Endless Samsara Era of the Cosmic Sea, there are probably only a handful of geniuses who can compare with him." Qing Cang thought to himself, "In any case, the successor I encountered this time is the most likely to succeed the position of 'Mountain Lord'."

"Let's keep waiting."

Qing Cang gazed at Lin Yan. The Panwang Mountain lineage once stood at the most dazzling peak, and its mountain lords were revered by countless powerful figures. Although it was now in a state of annihilation, it would face even greater dangers.

Therefore, it may not care about other aspects of the new "Panwang Mountain Master", but it absolutely cannot be mediocre!

It needs... the strongest new mountain lord to restore the glory of Panwang Mountain!

This is extremely difficult.

However, the encounter with a junior like Lin Yan in the Cosmic Sea gave Qing Cang great hope.

Time passes.

Five hundred years... one thousand years... two thousand years...

Lin Yan remained seated cross-legged, unable to awaken his extraordinary and inconceivable special talent. For Qing Cang, the "Heavenly Realm Spirit," thousands of years were but a fleeting moment. How could the awakening of a talent by a mere Law Venerable last so long?

Gradually, Qing Cang began to doubt his own judgment.

"Could it be that the Origin Continent and the Three Thousand Dimensional Cosmic Sea are different?" Qing Cang wondered. "Or is it that I have been trapped in the Cosmic Sea for endless years, and my past experience is no longer valid?"

It was somewhat unsure of what to do and could only continue to wait for Lin Yan to wake up.

Three thousand years later.

"Splash—"

It's like a gurgling spring flowing through a desolate desert.

Under the guidance of the "Sky Opening Art", all the potential hidden in Lin Yan's body and soul was unearthed, forming a complete talent.

"Call!"

Lin Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged for three thousand years, suddenly had countless golden patterns light up on his body. The surging and terrifying energy flowed through the patterns on his body and gathered towards his eyebrows. Along his eyebrows, a large amount of light gathered in the center of his brow.

"Boom!"

A crack appeared faintly between Lin Yan's brows, emitting a hazy golden light. To Qing Cang's astonishment, the void around him rippled slightly.

"This, this is Heavenly Realm Stone." Qing Cang was excited. Heavenly Realm Stone are true treasures in the Origin Continent. Their internal space is naturally extremely stable. Lin Yan has just awakened his talent and he can already affect the surrounding space, which shows his heaven-defying power.

This is what makes the Original System truly terrifying!

"Hahaha..." Qing Cang laughed, his noble blue feathers trembling slightly. "I've waited so long, and it's finally here!"

At this moment, Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He sensed that three thousand years had passed and immediately realized that the Duan Donghe Inheritance in the Cosmic Sea should have already emerged. He wondered what the situation was like outside.

However, he can't care about those things right now.

"Awakened." Lin Yan immediately examined the changes in his soul and body, and immediately discovered the existence of the Golden Vertical Eye between his eyebrows.

Unlike the "Time Beast God's Eye" he obtained during his time World Master, which, apart from helping to fuse with the "Time Dragon Jade," had no other use for him, it was only suitable for the continuation of his bloodline.

This time, the "Golden Eye on Forehead" is completely different; it is the "Life Core" he has nurtured, which is crucial to his cultivation of the Original System.

"It's actually an awakened dual talent."

As Heavenly Realm Spirit, Qing Cang quickly sensed the aura emanating from Lin Yan's Golden Eye on Forehead. Since it had personally selected all the mountain lords of the Panwang Mountain lineage, it could easily determine what talent Lin Yan had awakened.

Whoosh!

With a flap of its wings, it flew directly to Lin Yan's side.

"Dual talents?" Lin Yan asked in surprise.

Qing Cang had only given a brief introduction to the Original System, without going into too much depth, so he didn't really know much about it.

"Yes." Qing Cang nodded. "The Original System is to use the Heaven and Earth Power to nurture oneself and awaken innate talents. Naturally, it can awaken more than one talent."

"However, having a lot of talent doesn't mean anything... Although most of the Original System have strange and unusual abilities, their strength is generally mediocre. If their talent is not good, there is limited room for further training. They can only have a slight advantage in the early stages."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

Obviously, whether you have a single talent or multiple talents is not the key point; what matters is how far you can go on your own talent path.

This is similar to a martial artist, Controller, and an illusionist. Being proficient in all three methods may give one an advantage, but it becomes meaningless in the face of a significant difference in strength.

"However... among countless cultivators, there will also be some extremely terrifying beings who can be even more heaven-defying than any other cultivation system!"

Qing Cang's tone became more assertive. "Take you for example, your awakened talent is related to the eyes. The first type can be called the 'Eye of Heavenly Punishment,' which is an extremely powerful offensive talent in the Original System!"

"If you reach the True God Realm, which is what you Cosmic Sea powerhouses call the 'Universe's Strongest'... even the most foolish move, purely based on the power of this talent itself, can be considered among the top True Gods, and some ordinary True Gods can be directly blasted to death!"

Lin Yan was taken aback.

In terms of the concept of the Cosmic Sea, wouldn't that mean that once he steps into the realm of true god, he will directly possess the Tier 9 peak, and could easily kill an existence like the Shadow Bell Demon Lord by unleashing the power of the "Eye of Heavenly Punishment"?

"Of course, the reason I said this is the most foolish way to use it is because it can only bully small guys at the same level... If you Beyond True God, or even higher, you won't be able to be arrogant anymore, and the gap in strength will be widened quickly." Qing Cang sneered, "Different Life Core will reveal different strange methods. The talent you are born with is very important, but the guidance and cultivation you receive after birth are also very important."

"The truly powerful inheritance is the deliberate guidance of one's own evolution!"

"For example, in Ancient Civilization Original System, there was once an unparalleled powerhouse who awakened the talent of 'Eye of Heavenly Punishment'. His creation, 'Eye of Dharma Annihilation,' can be said to be able to see through all the laws of the world with a single glance!"

"When cultivated to the extreme, the Dharma-Annihilating Divine Light that he emitted could directly decompose Annihilation an entire universe with just a glance. He was one of the strongest beings standing at the pinnacle of Ancient Civilization."

Lin Yan listened attentively, his heart filled with longing.

What kind of concept is it that a single glance can Annihilation a universe?

"So, does that mean I've passed the test?" Lin Yan asked.

Since there are predecessors who were able to reach the pinnacle with this talent, it means that he should be able to meet the requirements in terms of talent.

"Of course." Qing Cang nodded. "Whether it's the offensive 'Eye of Heavenly Punishment' or the illusionary 'Nightmare Technique', both can be considered extremely powerful talents. Being able to awaken these two talents is enough to show that you are very suitable for the Original System."

"And in the Universe Rule System, you are merely Law Venerable, yet you created Tier 6 peak secret technique, which also demonstrates your incredibly amazing talent and comprehension."

"As long as you succeed to the position of 'Mountain Lord' and receive the resources of my Panwang Mountain lineage, your future achievements will be limitless. You may even surpass the previous Mountain Lords and reach a level close to that of our ancestors."

Qing Cang looked at Lin Yan and said solemnly, "But you should also know that when you obtain everything from the Panwang Mountain lineage, you will not only gain endless benefits, but you will also inherit the hatred of Panwang Mountain. When you rise to power in the future, you will encounter a lot of trouble."

"I understand," Lin Yan nodded.

He had thought about this issue before he came. Panwang represents the native forces of the Origin Continent, which is in natural conflict with the more prosperous powerful beings of the Three Thousand Dimensional Cosmic Sea.

If Luo Feng's cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Scripture has earned him the label of "core of the Jin Kingdom," and if the "Food Nation," which once destroyed the Jin Kingdom and has three God-Kings, will inevitably become his enemy when he rises to power, then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Yan, who wants to obtain the Panwang Mountain Inheritance, will be "enemy of the whole world" once he arrives on the Origin Continent.

But he didn't really care.

The conflict between the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea and the native powerful beings is no different from the conflict between the Food Nation and the Jin Kingdom. They all stem from interests, rather than from a war like the "Boundary Beast" that inevitably leads to a life-or-death struggle.

Everything on the Origin Continent was unfamiliar to him.

From an objective point of view, he did not think he had any connection with the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea from countless Reincarnation Era. As long as he wanted to continue moving forward, he would never lack enemies in his life.

"The Invincible Path is the Path of Universal Enemies!"

"Before I even stepped out of Human territory, I was assassinated by the three major races; before I even entered the Cosmic Sea, various forces wanted to kill me," Lin Yan thought to himself. "More important than worrying about and fearing future dangers is to utilize all the power I can!"

"The interests behind the Panwang Mountain lineage are the most important!"

It is important to know that the Origin Continent is the origin of all Dimensional Universe, nurturing countless treasures! One can imagine... in the earliest times, before the geniuses of the Three Thousand Dimensions universes flocked to the Origin Continent, this vast continent was inhabited only by these natives.

The battles between the powerful beings of the Cosmic Sea and the natives were essentially a process of them plundering the natives' treasures and territories. The Panwang Mountain force originated from the strongest native force, "Panwang"...

Lin Yan could repeatedly sense a sense of wealth and power from Qing Cang's words.

What's a little risk?

And he may not actually be facing any additional risks.

Once he breaks through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he will begin to cultivate the Divine Power route. If he can cultivate to the level of hundred thousandfold Life Gene, he will possess all kinds of power, which can be collectively referred to as "Formless and Faceless"!

This is the perfection of the "Life Structure Diagram," which can perfectly contain the life force without leaking a trace of it, while also easily changing the force and simulating any kind of force!

Once he mastered this extraordinary ability, he would have no worries whatsoever.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind in an instant, and Qing Cang nodded in satisfaction. "Come with me."

Wow!

A luminous spatial entrance appeared out of thin air in the distance, and Qing Cang flew directly towards it, with Lin Yan following behind.

In an instant!

Space-time shift!

What they saw was a small, floating continent, with a majestic statue standing in the very center. The statue looked like a giant, wearing a simple battle robe, with Azure Dragon binding its arms and legs. Its face was hazy and indistinct, but its eyes were as bright as the sun.

This statue may look ordinary, but it contains an extremely powerful killing intent. Just one glance is enough to make you feel as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood are rolling in. It is a great war god!

"This is my ancestor from the Panwang Mountain lineage — Panwang!" Qing Cang's voice was full of admiration and reverence. "He created the Original System in ancient times, personally established Panwang Mountain, and achieved endless glory. He is the Great Existence in our Panwang Mountain lineage. In the entire Ancient Civilization, only a handful of people can compare to him."

"Even now, when my Panwang Mountain lineage is almost on the verge of extinction, it still possesses an incredibly profound foundation, all thanks to our Panwang!"

"Now that you have gained my approval, you are qualified to access the Core Inheritance of my Panwang Mountain lineage and become the new Panwang Mountain Master!" Qing Cang said. "This will also make you the 34th Mountain Master of my Panwang Mountain lineage!"

"Looking back, all the mountain lords of Panwang Mountain in the past were super strong people from Ancient Civilization! Only you, Lin Yan, inherited the position when you were still weak, but this also proves that your future will also stand among the super strong people."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

The "super strongman" that Qing Cang mentioned should be Saint Existence at the level of Chaos Master.

"Come, kneel before Panwang," Qing Cang said. "Only after receiving the ancestor's blessing can you truly inherit the Mountain Master Token and be qualified to open the two great sacred inheritance sites, 'Gate of Myriad Laws' and 'Mirror Moon Heaven'!"

The Gate of Myriad Laws? The Mirror Moon Heaven?

Lin Yan took a deep breath and immediately knelt down. The moment he knelt down, the Azure Dragon bound to the arms and legs of the Panwang statue seemed to come alive. It was powerful and ancient, and its breath stirred up wind and thunder!

"Roar..."

With a low dragon roar, the Azure Dragon, carrying a token that was neither gold nor jade in its mouth, flew directly toward Lin Yan.

The aura emanating from that talisman was unimaginably ancient, as if it were something that existed before the Universe: Origin.

"Boom!"

The moment the Azure Dragon approached Lin Yan, it vanished like mist, while the ancient talisman transformed into a stream of light. The crack between Lin Yan's brows seemed to be drawn by the source, splitting open and the light merging into his dazzling Golden Vertical Eye.

Pain!

Extreme pain!

Even though Lin Yan's will had reached the level of a true god, he almost couldn't withstand the pain of merging with the Mountain Master Token. His whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably. At the same time, in his Golden Vertical Eye, he could vaguely see the phantom of a beautiful mountain peak.

Qing Cang silently watched this scene.

As Lin Yan merged with the Mountain Master Token, it could feel an incredibly wondrous connection gradually forming between itself and Lin Yan. The A World that evolved inside the Heavenly Realm Stone became perfectly compatible with Lin Yan.

"I saw it."

"Emerging from that ancient depravity, the Panwang Mountain lineage a new future."
