The Eastern Wasteland was shaken to its core!
The earth-shattering news that Lin Yu had killed the Yaoguang Holy Son spread across the vast world at the speed of light.
Wherever it went, it stirred up a storm of discussion.
That very day, the entire Yan Kingdom erupted. The Six Great Cave Heavens stood dumbstruck. They were no strangers to Lin Yu; when he emerged from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, they had fought over the Immortal Seed and nearly accepted him into their sects.
Who would have thought that he would turn around and do something so shocking, killing the Yaoguang Holy Son? In their eyes, the Shaking Light Sacred Land was the heavens themselves. Now, Lin Yu had truly punched a hole through the sky.
Even now, they did not know whether they felt more relief or greater regret.
A few days later, news came from the Shaking Light Sacred Land. The Yaoguang Holy Son's life tablet had shattered. He was unquestionably dead. For a time, the entire Eastern Wasteland trembled, and everyone was shocked by Lin Yu's audacity and decisiveness.
A Holy Son was a core figure of a Sacred Land, exalted beyond measure. Yet Lin Yu had shown no fear at all. He had simply killed him, without leaving the Sacred Land even a shred of dignity.
"Have you heard the recent news? A young man actually killed the Holy Son of the Shaking Light Sacred Land. The Shaking Light Sacred Land is furious now!"
"I know. They say that young man is called Lin Yu. He has cultivated for only a few years, yet he was able to kill a Sacred Land's Holy Son against the odds. That strength is simply terrifying!"
"Not a few years. I heard reliable news that he has cultivated for only two years!"
"Two years? How is that possible? After two years of cultivation, I'm still struggling in the Sea of Suffering Realm without making any progress. Yet he can already kill a Holy Son. Just how does he cultivate?"
"How terrifying! Truly terrifying!"
As time passed, Lin Yu's past was gradually unearthed. A youth barely of age had emerged from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and cultivated for less than two years.
Yet he had slain the Yaoguang Holy Son against the odds.
Lin Yu had become a new legend.
Some patrons in teahouses and taverns were delighted to see the Sacred Land suffer a setback, and they eagerly spread word of him everywhere.
Meanwhile, the heirs of the Sacred Land Families treated him as a grave threat.
"Lin Yu must possess a supreme inheritance.
"It is said that when he fought the Yaoguang Holy Son, he was still at the Other Shore Realm. Yet he crossed seven minor stages and completely overwhelmed the Yaoguang Holy Son with absolute strength. Such power is not something an ordinary person could possess."
An heir of a Sacred Land Family spoke to his companion with a grave expression.
"I also heard that his blood is dark gold. Could he be a Desolate Ancient Saint Body?"
"The blood of a Desolate Ancient Saint Body is golden, not dark gold. However, it is possible that some special physique combined with a Sacred Body and underwent a beneficial mutation,
"Combining the advantages of both physiques, which led to this outcome." An experienced old man slowly analyzed the matter.
"That's right. I heard that at the moment he killed the Yaoguang Holy Son, his blood and qi shot into the heavens. That kind of might was clearly the hallmark of a Sacred Body."
If Lin Yu heard these discussions now, he could only sigh helplessly. Ye Fan was about to enter another difficult period.
There were also greedy people who, upon hearing that Lin Yu possessed a heaven-defying opportunity, began plotting to seize his treasures and inheritance.
"Immediately mobilize all our forces in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland and search for Lin Yu with everything we have. Remember, we must find him before anyone else. We cannot let this opportunity slip through our fingers!"
"Closely monitor every Domain Gate. We absolutely cannot let him escape the Southern Region. The moment you find the slightest clue, report it immediately!"
"Spare no cost. Invite an expert from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to calculate his fate. I refuse to believe he can vanish completely from this world!"
Of course, there were also people in this world who thought highly of themselves and dismissed the matter with contempt.
"Hmph! The Yaoguang Holy Son was all talk and no substance. A cultivator of the Four Extremities Realm was actually defeated by a Sea of Bitterness cultivator. What a disgrace.
"If I encounter this Lin Yu, I will definitely suppress him and show him what a true prodigy is!"
"I heard that the Desolate Ancient Saint Body's precious blood is incredibly valuable, comparable to a great medicine. I have emerged from seclusion this time to test my sword against the various prodigies. I can capture him and keep him by my side to drain him every day."
Something strange seemed to have slipped in.
When Lin Yu's Earth-born companions in the Yan Kingdom heard the news, they went numb. They had been captured by the Shaking Light Sacred Land and the Jiang Family, forced to gather herbs in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and their lives had been bleak.
They had never expected such an enormous black pot to fall from the sky, one too heavy even to carry. Their faces immediately turned green. They hurriedly distanced themselves from Lin Yu, declaring that they did not know him and had merely passed by with him.
The Spirit Void Cave Heaven hurriedly made its position clear as well. They did not know Lin Yu either. He had stayed with them for only a few months before leaving, never to return.
When Lin Yu returned to the Spirit Void Cave Heaven that day, he had used the God-Devil Seal to alter his appearance and aura precisely so that he would not implicate them. Otherwise, the charge of colluding with outsiders to murder a Holy Son would have crushed them to death.
Not long afterward, the Shaking Light Sacred Land issued a wanted notice.
Anyone who provided information on Lin Yu would be rewarded with ten thousand jin of source. Anyone who successfully killed Lin Yu would receive not only one million jin of source, but also a Sacred Lord Weapon. Anyone who captured Lin Yu alive could directly join the Shaking Light Sacred Land and become a Sacred Land Elder!
Countless people in the Eastern Wasteland sprang into action, hoping to make a fortune from Lin Yu.
Unfortunately, no matter how they searched, they found not the slightest clue. Those who tried to divine Lin Yu's whereabouts through fate calculations received only one result: no such person existed.
Lin Yu seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, leaving everyone at a complete loss.
While the entire Eastern Wasteland was in an uproar, Yang Xuan returned to his loyal Holy King Sect.
With the golden little man suppressing his fate and providence, and the Demon God Seal concealing his aura, Lin Yu swaggered out of the Southern Region just like that.
After more than a year of development, the Holy King Sect was no longer the tiny group it had been when it was first established.
In recent days, Holy King Sect cultivators had traveled everywhere. They ventured deep into the oases, carefully inspecting every inch of land, guiding water sources and restoring life to the parched earth.
They used their divine abilities to transform this barren land, selected Immortal Seeds, and nurtured new strength for the sect's future.
"Sure enough, cultivators are the greatest productive force in this world."
As long as they were put to work, changing heaven and earth might be an exaggeration, but improving the environment of the Northern Region and allowing ordinary people to live peaceful, prosperous lives was no difficult task.
The Hell Furnace controlled by Lin Yu could return all energy in the world to its origin and refine it into incomparably precious life essence. It was enough to drive any cultivator mad and make them flock after it.
Although Essence of Heaven and Earth was still scarce, why would ordinary people need such a thing? Could they no longer live just because there was no Essence of Heaven and Earth?
It was like a certain great country in the East from Lin Yu's previous life. It possessed no cultivation methods whatsoever, yet through the tireless efforts of countless people over decades, it turned vast deserts into lush forests.
The Northern Region was boundless enough to support countless people. With the Holy King Sect taking the lead, everyone worked together to transform their homeland with their own hands.
Throughout this process, the hope and light in people's hearts gradually gathered together, forming the finest True Gold of Faith.
And as they continued transforming their homeland and growing stronger, countless geniuses would inevitably emerge. The threads of fate of those geniuses would become tightly connected to Lin Yu, eventually condensing into a Wheel of Fate capable of sweeping across all heavens.
This was Lin Yu's unique path of cultivation.
