Lin Yu's figure appeared as ripples spread through the void in the ancient mine outside Purple Mountain. He returned to the surface and flew towards the Zhang family's stone village.
Lin Yu descended like a streak of light. When the villagers in the stone village saw who it was, they all immediately gathered around him, asking excitedly, "Young Master Yang, you finally came out of Purple Mountain?"
"Young Master Yang, you're alright in there, right?"
"Everyone was really worried about you!"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "Thank you all for your concern, everything went smoothly."
He looked around and noticed a few young people were missing, so he asked, "Have the Holy King Sect disciples been here?"
"Yes, just a few days after you left, someone came to test our aptitude. Wang Shu, Er Lengzi, and his sister were all chosen as Immortal Seeds," Old Man Zhang Wu replied.
It seems those guys didn't reveal my identity, Lin Yu thought.
Wang Shu and Er Lengzi have the bloodline of the Primordial Silver-Blooded Race. Their physiques are powerful, and they were known as the uncrowned kings of the Primordial Era, but for some reason, they declined later.
Er Lengzi's real name is Lei Bo. Their two families are not from the Source Heavenly Master lineage. Instead, after the Source Heavenly Master's ominous later years, he traveled around and brought back two silver-blooded infants. Their blood was silver, their forehead bones could glow, their eyes had double pupils, and they had many other unusual features.
The two young children settled and multiplied here, marrying into the human race. Who knows how many generations have passed, but the blood of the Wang and Lei families has turned from silver to red, gradually becoming indistinguishable from normal people.
So many years have passed, and only occasionally would one or two special children appear, their forehead bones glowing, which would recede after a hundred days. They were born with divine techniques and possessed strange abilities.
He took out a package and handed it to Old Man Zhang Wu, "This is the Source Heavenly Book and the remains of your ancestor, Zhang Jiye, that I found in Purple Mountain. Find a place to bury him properly."
Old Man Zhang Wu trembling took the package from Lin Yu, opened it, and saw the broken stone clothes and stone pendants inside. He said with a trembling voice, "It's good that you found him... it's good that you found him."
He then handed the Source Heavenly Book back to Lin Yu, saying, "Our village has no cultivation now. Holding the 'Source Heavenly Book' would only bring disaster. It's better for you to keep it."
Alright, Lin Yu had no choice but to accept it. He would find an opportunity to pass it on to the descendants of the stone village later.
Next, Lin Yu planned to go to the Fire Domain to cultivate and undergo transformation using the environment there. If it weren't for searching for the "Source Heavenly Book," Lin Yu would have gone there long ago. He probably would have already started benefiting from it.
The Fire Domain is located in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland. Lin Yu is in the Northern Region, so he had no choice but to borrow a Domain Gate from a sect.
A month later,
The westernmost part of Jin State in the Southern Region.
After coming out of the Domain Gate, Lin Yu flew all the way, stopping several times to ask for directions, and finally arrived at the Fire Domain.
The Fire Domain is perpetually burning with inextinguishable flames. Looking from the night sky, an area of a hundred miles is fiery red, very conspicuous.
Lin Yu stepped into it, and crimson flames scorched towards him. With a thought, the Hell Furnace appeared, and all the flames were sucked into it before they could touch him. A vortex of flames formed around Lin Yu.
Lin Yu estimated that absorbing flames here would take five or six years to accumulate enough Source for transformation.
"The efficiency is a bit low. It seems I still need to go inside," Lin Yu said with dissatisfaction, and then moved towards the interior of the Fire Domain.
The Fire Domain is divided into six layers, with ten types of flames. According to ancient records, immortals were once burned to death in the deepest part of the Fire Domain.
The tenth layer is an immortal tree condensed from flame runes. The tree is less than a meter tall but is more vigorous, coiled like a dragon, its flames flickering as if they could incinerate all heavens and collapse eternity.
It is rumored to be an immortal fire. The Desolate Pagoda, an immortal artifact of the Eastern Wasteland, once floated here for a thousand years, using it to repair itself. Later, Gai Jiuyou even used it to fight against a dark supreme being, and both disappeared in the end.
After walking another few dozen miles, the color of the flames changed to blue, and the temperature became even hotter. He had reached the second layer of the Fire Domain.
Lin Yu briefly felt the difference from the first layer and went straight through, past the third layer with milky white flames, the fourth layer with black underworld fire, and the fifth layer with golden flames, only stopping when he reached the sixth layer.
The sixth layer of the Fire Domain is called Purple Qi Coming from the East. Purple energy flows, creating a hazy scene. Great figures often refine artifacts here.
Crackling
A wisp of purple mist landed on Lin Yu's body, encountering his Divine Power and making a sound of resistance.
Lin Yu then activated Underworld God's Protection, forming an egg-shaped shield with Divine Power rapidly rotating on it. Flames that landed on it were deflected away.
"Underworld God's Protection is indeed the strongest defense. I estimate only the flames from the inner layers can pose a threat to it."
Lin Yu stopped experimenting and activated the Hell Furnace, forming a Hell Vortex. Countless flames, like tornadoes, entered it, refining into Life Source.
Ten days later, Lin Yu felt that he had already reached the peak of the Divine Bridge and was about to leap to the Other Shore.
Suddenly, a mist appeared before his eyes, his five senses blurred, and his divine consciousness could not perceive any changes. Lin Yu walked within it, feeling as if he was neither connected to the heavens nor the earth. He realized that he had encountered the Calamity of Lost.
The Calamity of Lost is a life-and-death test for cultivators. A slight mistake can lead to eternal沉沦. It is rumored that the higher the aptitude of a prodigy, the more severe the Calamity of Lost they encounter.
However, all this was nothing to Lin Yu. He had the Golden Figure suppressing his mind, which was like an eternal beacon.
"Prison Suppressing Divine Elephant, stand on the Other Shore!"
The divine elephant suppresses hell and supports paradise. Where it stands is the Other Shore.
The mist dissipated, the world became clear, and the Divine Bridge shone brightly, radiating dazzling light, carrying Lin Yu across the Sea of Suffering to its end.
This was a pure land, with clouds and mist ethereal. In the high sky, he vaguely saw massive Dao Palaces.
Those massive Dao Palaces were where the five internal organs of the human body are located. Cultivating this secret realm can nourish the five internal organs and increase a cultivator's lifespan.
The Dao Palaces were far away in the ethereal distance and soon disappeared.
After resting, Lin Yu began to walk towards the seventh layer of the Fire Domain. The seventh layer of the Fire Domain is also known as Five-Colored Cloud Flame. It can burn away Divine Power and kill great figures. Lin Yu intended to use it for a more thorough transformation.
This place was even hotter than Purple Qi Coming from the East. The five-colored mist burned Lin Yu's Divine Power with a sizzling sound.
He sat down, and the Hell Furnace floated around him, constantly absorbing the Five-Colored Cloud Flame to convert it into life essence.
Lin Yu lowered his defenses and began to draw the flames onto his body. In an instant, Lin Yu was completely engulfed by the flames that covered the sky and earth.
His clothes instantly burned to ash, his skin rapidly carbonized, revealing the stark white bones beneath.
The five-colored cloud flame followed Lin Yu's Divine Power, beginning to burn his spirit, plunging him into complete annihilation.
The terrifying flames ignited everything within Lin Yu; only the Giant Elephant Particles deep within his Source glowed faintly, a sign that Lin Yu's mind was still holding on.
Suddenly, the Hell Furnace transformed into a phantom and vanished. The accumulated Life Source, like a spring breeze sweeping across the land, stirred ripples of life.
Lin Yu's physical body began to recover, his bones reshaping, flesh spreading, and skin regaining its former smoothness and firmness. Meanwhile, his internal organs, like precision instruments restarting, began to function in an orderly manner, injecting a continuous stream of vitality into his renewed life.
This transformation occurred nine times, until finally, even the five-colored cloud flame could barely harm Lin Yu.
