Origin Foundation Realm Seeds the Dao Seed
Of the eighteen main peaks of the Lin family, the highest one in the center is called Jade Forest Peak.
If you were to look down on the Lin family's Lineage mountain range from a height of 100,000 feet, you would find that these mountain ranges are centered on Jade Forest Peak and meander outwards in all directions, like several giant dragons surrounding Jade Forest Peak in the very center.
Nine Dragons Arching for a Pearl —this is what people call this bizarre landform.
Based on this terrain, the Lin family set up Spirit Vein Grand Array to ensure the prosperity and abundance of the Lin family's fortune, making this place a feng shui treasure land for the Lin family.
Those who cultivate martial arts need "wealth, land, companions, and methods." The "land" here refers to the place of cultivation. Listing the Training Ground as one of the four most important conditions for cultivating martial arts shows how much martial arts practitioners value the land.
Every Lineage in the Tianyuan Realm would expend a great deal of resources to decorate their residences impeccably.
Often, conflicts of interest Lineage revolve around the struggle for territory.
For the Lin family, Jade Forest Peak itself is an important Lineage asset. Whenever the three elders of the Lin family need to begin a long period of seclusion, they will choose Jade Forest Peak.
At this time, Yi Yun was also in seclusion on Jade Forest Peak, cultivating in seclusion.
The secret chamber where Yi Yun was located was called Heavenly Sun Pavilion.
Heavenly Sun Pavilion is a Training Ground for practicing the Pure Yang Law. It ranks third in Jade Forest Peak, second only to the first-rank Supreme Elder and the second-rank Lin family elders.
This is the best Training Ground available to the younger generation of the Lin family; very few young disciples of the Lin family usually have this privilege.
A good Training Ground can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
Now, Yi Yun has been staying in the Heavenly Sun Pavilion for quite some time. He is subtly absorbing the pure Yang energy in the Purple Crystal, using it to transform and broaden his meridians, gradually solidifying his foundation.
The meaning of "Yuanji" is to establish a foundation in a martial artist's dantian.
The next level above the Origin Foundation Realm is called "Dao Seed".
The meaning of "Tao Seed" is that a martial artist plants the seed of martial arts on the foundation of their Yuanji (Primordial Foundation).
The primordial foundation seed nurtures the path of martial arts.
What will emerge in the future depends on the individual martial artist's fate.
In the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, for most martial artists, their lifelong martial arts training only leads to the Foundation Origin Foundation Realm. Reaching the Dao Seed Realm is an immense stroke of luck, enough to dominate a region.
Therefore, those who cultivate to the Dao Seed Realm are called Heroic Rulers in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!
Of course, in the Tianyuan Realm, those at the Dao Seed Realm are only capable of roaming the martial world and aspiring to dominate a region. To be called a powerful ruler is a joke.
As time passed, Yi Yun, immersed in cultivation, had completely entered a state of selflessness. Pure Yang Energy flowed out from the Origin Purple Crystal, entering Yi Yun's limbs and bones, circulating through his meridians. Most of it merged into Yi Yun's bloodline, while a small portion dissipated from Yi Yun's pores.
The Pure Yang Energy that dissipated carried away the traces of impurities from Yi Yun's body.
Through repeated Marrow Cleansing, and the transformation by this Pure Yang Energy, Yi Yun truly felt that he was slowly undergoing a complete rebirth.
Yi Yun's muscles became more defined, but they didn't look stiff like some muscular strongmen. Instead, they gave people a beautiful feeling, like a mountain stream, perfectly natural.
Yi Yun's aura also became increasingly restrained. As the grade of Yi Yun's Pure Yang Body increased, he not only did not reveal any fiery aura, but instead concealed all his sharpness within the acupoints around his body, giving him the feeling of a Scholar. To describe him in one word, it would be -- a gentleman as fine as jade.
A gentleman is like jade—gentle, calm, and composed. Though he may conceal his brilliance, he possesses the unyielding strength of jade.
Shentu Nantian also pursued the ideal of a gentleman as pure as jade, but he did so to give the world that impression and deliberately catered to the requirements of a gentleman as pure as jade. In reality, his true intentions may not have been so.
As for Yi Yun, he naturally acquired this temperament as his Pure Yang Body approached perfection, even though he himself was not a true gentleman.
It should be said that Yi Yun's heart is that of a gentleman, but in his actions, he never adheres to the moral principles of a Yi Yun.
Cultivation knows no time; Yi Yun's seclusion lasted for five months without him even realizing it.
Prior to this, Yi Yun had only cultivated for such a long time in one go when entering the Gate of Fallen Stars.
Over the course of five months, while absorbing Pure Yang Energy, Yi Yun also continuously addressed the problems left over from his hasty progress in cultivation, and made up for the deficiencies in his laws. This made Yi Yun's martial arts system increasingly impeccable.
Yi Yun looked inward at his body and saw that every inch of his bones was as white as jade, and the bone marrow within them had become like a crystal-clear red crystal.
Taking a breath, Yi Yun could feel a fragrant aroma in his mouth, and the saliva secreted in his mouth was as sweet as mountain spring water.
This almost impure body is a benefit of having Pure Yang Body.
This feeling is simply indescribable!
Yi Yun examined the Purple Crystal. The Pure Yang Power from the Empress's relic within the Purple Crystal had been almost completely absorbed by Yi Yun, and the Pure Yang Spirit had also grown. As for the cold energy originally condensed from the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill, it had been compressed into a corner and was completely under Yi Yun's control.
In fact, Yi Yun could have eliminated this cold energy at any time if he wanted to, but Yi Yun felt that it might not be useless in the future, so he kept it.
In five months, Yi Yun also used the Pure Yang Energy in the Purple Crystal to reach the peak of the mid-stage of the Origin Foundation Realm, and was about to reach the late stage of the Origin Foundation Realm.
The more solid the foundation, the more surprising the martial Dao Fruit that the Dao seed will produce.
The breakthrough in cultivation also brought about an increase in strength. In the past, once Yi Yun unleashed his Dharma Aspect Totem, all the vital energy in his body would be drained in a short period of time.
But now, Yi Yun felt that even if he unleashed his Dharma Aspect Totem and went all out, he could hold out for a little while longer.
"I gained so much from this seclusion. In this precious place of Jade Forest Peak, I was able to calmly refine the Medicinal Power of the Empress's Relic. With the help of the Purple Crystal, no other junior in the Tianyuan Realm has had such conditions as me. It would be difficult for my strength not to advance by leaps and bounds."
Yi Yun was thinking, suddenly, a flash of light appeared before his eyes.
This is a Sound Transmission Talisman. Only a few people can transmit sound into this secret room. This Sound Transmission Talisman comes from the Lin Family Old Matriarch.
The Sound Transmission Talisman contained only a few words.
The Old Madam told Yi Yun to stop his cultivation and leave seclusion because the Lin family's Supreme Elder predicted that the demonic tidal power of the God Burying Abyss would weaken within a month, and that would be the opportunity for the Lin family's disciples to enter the Empress Secret Realm!
The firelight dissipated in the darkness. Yi Yun took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.
"The Empress Secret Realm is finally about to open!"
Yi Yun felt as if he had inexhaustible energy, and he was in his peak condition. Entering the Empress Secret Realm to fight was exactly what Yi Yun wanted.
He couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
"I'd like to see for myself what's inside this Empress Secret Realm!"
