008: In One Year, I'll Be Martial Ancestor Lin Yang!

If he refined the Bronze Lightning Body!

By then, his physical strength would reach a terrifying level.

Even a low-grade spirit treasure wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest. He'd be impervious to fire and water, swords and spears!

And the Bronze Lightning Body was only the first level of the Great Sun Thunder Body.

The second and third levels.

Would let him condense the Jade Lightning Body and the Great Sun Thunder Body!

Once he achieved the Great Sun Thunder Body, even a high-grade spirit treasure would be reduced to dust by a single punch.

By then!

Even Nirvana Realm powerhouses wouldn't dare face him head-on.

It was worth noting!

When Lin Dong had first entered the Earth Origin Realm, the cultivation technique he practiced was the Azure Origin Technique.

It could only open four meridians in the body.

Even after he used the Ancestral Stone to improve the technique, it could only open seven meridians.

And the number of meridians opened.

Determined how quickly one could absorb the Origin Power of Heaven and Earth.

But the Great Sun Thunder Body started with forty-three meridians. The difference was plain to see!

No wonder it had been left behind by an ancient powerhouse. It was truly terrifying.

At last!

Lin Yang turned his attention to the Devouring Ancestral Talisman in the system.

As everyone knew!

The Dou Qi Continent had Heavenly Flames, with twenty-three flames listed on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

And the Tianxuan Continent had Ancestral Symbols.

There were eight in total!

In terms of numbers alone, the Ancestral Symbols were worth far more than the Heavenly Flames.

And their power certainly lived up to that.

It was worth noting that these eight Ancestral Symbols.

Were the Plane Embryo of the Tianxuan Continent. To resist the invasion of the Outer Realm Demons, the continent had gathered its full strength to create them as its final line of defense.

Every one of them was unfathomably profound!

The Devouring Ancestral Talisman was the most mysterious of all.

Just as its name suggested!

The power of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman was devouring. It could devour and refine all things.

Like the Fallen Heart Flame of the Dou Qi Continent, it could help its wielder increase their cultivation speed.

It was practically a cultivation cheat.

But that wasn't all it could do.

The Devouring Ancestral Talisman's most important ability was to use its devouring power to contain the other Ancestral Symbols.

In other words.

As long as he mastered the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, he would hold the key to mastering all eight Ancestral Symbols!

The Devouring Ancestral Talisman was undoubtedly the most important reward this time.

Besides that!

There was only Transcendent Comprehension and Transcendent Cultivation Speed left.

Did those two buffs even need an explanation?

With those two buffs, as long as he wasn't an idiot, he'd be soaring to the top in no time!

Just as Lin Yang was reveling in his excitement.

The system's notification sounded again.

[ Ding—Congratulations, Host, on activating the Diary System. The rules are as follows! ]

[ First: The Host can receive rewards by recording a certain number of diary entries each day! ]

[ Second: The Host can receive weekly, monthly, and yearly rewards for recording entries for one consecutive week, one month, or one year! ]

[ Third: The Host can also receive special rewards for recording entries on special dates! ]

[ Friendly reminder: Diary System rewards aren't limited to cultivation, spirit treasures, and martial arts. Special items may also be awarded! ]

[ Friendly reminder: No rewards will be given for entries under eight hundred words. Once you begin an entry, you cannot stop partway through, or your progress toward the weekly, monthly, and yearly rewards will reset to zero! ]

[ Friendly reminder: The Host is already an adult. Please verify special dates on your own! ]

"Holy crap!"

Hearing the system's notification, Lin Yang was completely stunned.

He'd already thought that getting rewards for keeping a diary was great.

He hadn't expected there to be so many perks.

Weekly rewards, monthly rewards, and year-end rewards.

And even special rewards!

Wouldn't he be taking off like a rocket?

[ I'm freaking taking off! Wife Ling Qingzhu, wait for me. Give me three months, and I'll definitely come save you from the Ancient Tomb of Sky Flame! ]

[ And Ying Huanhuan, Ying Xiaoxiao, Jiang Xue, and Jiang Yinyin—my wives, wait for me! I'll be there to find you very, very soon! ]

After casually recording how he felt, Lin Yang took out all the rewards from the Diary System.

Except the Devouring Ancestral Talisman!

With Lin Yang's current strength, taking out the Devouring Ancestral Talisman would be tantamount to suicide.

Even if he wasn't crushed to death by the aura of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

Countless people in Great Desolate County would still come after it.

He shouldn't forget!

There was a Blood Vulture Martial Arts School right here in Great Eagle City.

Then!

Lin Yang went into the kitchen and carried out a wooden tub for bathing.

He filled it halfway with clear water!

Then he poured in half a tub of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

After that, Lin Yang took off his shirt and shoes and sat inside.

Once he'd finished.

Lin Yang took out the rewards he'd received for writing his first diary entry as well.

They were the Azure Origin Technique, Tongbei Fist, one year's worth of Body Tempering cultivation, and the Divine Movement Chapter.

These rewards!

Aside from the year's worth of Body Tempering cultivation, the rest weren't worth much.

Almost the instant Lin Yang took out the rewards.

Suddenly!

Lin Yang's face turned deathly pale.

An uncontrollable pain surged through his body.

On top of that, much of the skin and dead tissue on his body began to peel away.

It was the year's worth of Body Tempering cultivation.

It was strengthening his physique!

Even though Lin Yang had been prepared, he was still trembling all over, gritting his teeth as he bore the pain.

He absolutely couldn't cry out now.

Never mind anything else. Just the high-grade spirit treasure and high-grade martial art sitting beside him were enough to stir up a commotion in Great Eagle City.

The moment the stinging pain hit!

Lin Yang noticed that the medicinal liquid in the tub was seeping through his skin and into his body.

His bones were growing, and he was getting taller.

At the same time, Lin Yang's strength was rising at a visibly astonishing rate.

First Layer of the Body Tempering Realm!

Second Layer of the Body Tempering Realm!

Third Layer of the Body Tempering Realm!

"Is this... Marrow Refining and Origin Transformation?"

Before long, Lin Yang sensed a special power moving through his bone marrow.

It was indescribable. At first, it was only in his bone marrow.

But soon, the sensation spread throughout his entire body.

In a daze!

Lin Yang also found the source of this change. It was Origin Power.

That was right!

At that moment, he could sense the Origin Power Seed inside him.

The instant the Origin Power Seed appeared, Lin Yang's body shone with a silvery light.

It was the sign that he had entered the sixth layer of the Body Tempering Realm and achieved Marrow Refining and Origin Transformation!

As the Origin Power Seed formed inside him.

The astonishing surge in his strength still didn't stop.

He could feel his Origin Power Seed growing.

It spread toward his limbs and the rest of his body.

Seventh Layer of the Body Tempering Realm!

Eighth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm!

At last!

Lin Yang's strength rose all the way to the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm.

Only then did the surging momentum finally come to a halt.

Feeling the change in his body, Lin Yang threw a punch.

Bang—

The air in front of him let out a piercing sonic boom under Lin Yang's punch.

It was worth noting!

He'd relied entirely on his physical strength just now. He hadn't used any Origin Power.

For his physical strength alone to produce such power!

The Ninth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm was truly terrifying.

In an instant!

In the blink of an eye, he'd gone from someone who couldn't cultivate at all to a powerhouse at the Ninth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm.

If he kept cultivating at this rate!

Two years?

One year!

At most, it would take Lin Yang a year to become the Martial Ancestor!

By then, whether it was Martial Ancestor Lin Dong or the Outer Realm Demons, none of them would be able to withstand a single blow from Lin Yang!
