Eastern Wasteland, Southern Region, Shaking Light Sacred Land.
Divine mountains rose high, waterfalls and springs flowed, and countless disciples cultivated within them. Heavenly islands also floated in the air, slowly circling the sacred land as clouds drifted and rainbow mist swirled. The elders resided there.
At the heart of the sacred land, its headquarters, a massive divine city floated in the sky, never falling, radiating a gentle and holy light.
A beautiful day began on the floating island. Lin Yu slowly woke up, stretched lazily, washed up, and headed toward Liang Jing's residence.
As for the imagined aloof senior sisters and adorable junior sisters—cough, cough—there were none at all.
This cheap martial uncle of his seemed afraid that, after growing used to hardship, Lin Yu would be tempted by beauty upon arriving at Shaking Light Sacred Land and have his resolve eroded. So he had only arranged for a few pretty maidservants to attend him.
"Martial nephew, you've come. Did you rest well?"
Liang Jing sat at a stone table beneath an ancient tree. Looking at Lin Yu approaching, he spoke with a smile.
The old tree was lush with branches and leaves, verdant and dripping with green. Its bark resembled dragon scales, its patterns peculiar, and beneath the caress of the breeze, it rustled softly.
Lin Yu bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, Martial Uncle. Will you be teaching me the scriptures of Shaking Light Sacred Land today?"
"There is no need for such formality with me." Liang Jing smiled and pointed to a jade box on the stone table.
"This contains the scripture I will teach you today. Take it back and switch to cultivating this scripture as soon as possible. Once you break through to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, Master will nominate you as a Candidate Holy Son. As for whether you can ascend to the position of Holy Son, that will depend on your own efforts."
"Did the previous Yaoguang Holy Son also cultivate this ancient scripture?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
At that, a pained expression appeared on Liang Jing's face. The Yaoguang Holy Son had been killed, damaging the reputation of Shaking Light Sacred Land. Now even this newly arrived martial nephew thought this ancient scripture was not powerful enough.
"Do not underestimate it. This is one of the primary cultivation techniques passed down by our sacred land's founding patriarch, and it has been revised by many sages. Previously, the Yaoguang Holy Son relied on this scripture to roam the Eastern Wasteland, clashing with countless prodigies without ever suffering defeat."
After a pause, Liang Jing lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "As for that Lin Yu, we suspect he obtained the inheritance of the master of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. He is now hiding within the forbidden land, which is why we have been unable to find any trace of him."
I'm the child of a Restricted Area? Lin Yu had never imagined that one day he would end up with Ye Fan's script. This was utterly ridiculous!
"The Desolate Ancient Restricted Area is terrifying beyond measure. In the past, the Heavenly Revolving Holy Land, which was as famous as our Shaking Light Sacred Land, poured the strength of its entire sect into entering it. In the end, they were completely wiped out.
"Therefore, the Grand Elders of our sacred land are still debating how to deal with Lin Yu. If you encounter him in the future, you must be careful!" This cheap martial uncle of his was afraid that Lin Yu, young and hot-blooded, would suffer a great loss at Lin Yu's hands.
They would definitely seek revenge, but asking those Grand Elders to attack the Desolate Ancient Restricted Area? They did not have the courage. They were merely stubborn, not idiots.
They would probably send the younger generation to regain face. Hmm, perhaps one day Lin Yu would receive a mission to suppress Lin Yu.
After receiving a lengthy and earnest round of advice from Liang Jing, Lin Yu returned to his residence carrying the jade box containing the Shaking Light Ancient Scripture.
He gently opened the jade box, took out the Shaking Light Ancient Scripture, and immersed himself in comprehending it. Inside the box was a jade talisman covered in countless Dao patterns, along with the mark of the Dragon-Marked Black Gold Cauldron.
Lin Yu lightly touched the jade talisman. A streak of light shot directly into his Sea of Consciousness, and information concerning the inherited ancient scripture of Shaking Light Sacred Land surged forth. At the same time, a small cauldron appeared and suppressed it.
Compared to the scriptures he had obtained before, this scripture was naturally superior. Yet compared with the two ancient scriptures of Taiyin and Taiyang, it fell far short in both conception and depth.
However, the two Human Race Mother Scriptures, Taiyin and Taiyang, possessed an ancient and unadorned style. Their wording was extremely concise, and every part of them displayed the unique charm of the Primordial Era.
After a million years of development, Dao techniques and divine abilities had continued to evolve. This scripture of Shaking Light Sacred Land naturally had many merits as well, gathering the wisdom and insights of generation after generation of sages from the sacred land.
Lin Yu pondered it for a long time, using the Shaking Light Ancient Scripture to corroborate the Taiyin and Taiyang scriptures. He felt that he had benefited greatly. "Furnace Nurturing Hundred Scriptures," drawing on strengths to make up for weaknesses—this was truly the proper path of cultivation.
Lin Yu examined himself inwardly. At this point, he had already cultivated to the perfect realm of the Sea of Bitterness and successfully reached the summit of the Divine Bridge. Looking up, he saw five massive divine lands floating in the sky.
At the center of the divine lands stood towering immortal palaces, divided into five colors—black, white, yellow, red, and green. Immortal halls lay hidden amid five-colored mist, faintly visible and hazy, like a dream or illusion.
Opening the Dao Palace Secret Realm was now within reach!
The Dao Palace Secret Realm was the second secret realm of the human body, corresponding to the five viscera. This secret realm was like a mysterious treasure trove, storing essence without leaking it and nurturing life without decay. On the path of cultivation, it was an immensely powerful and crucial stage.
The Five Great Divine Treasures contained especially mysterious things and were also the beginning of all that was profound and unfathomable.
Unlocking the gates of potential within the Five Great Divine Treasures could nourish the five viscera, strengthen a cultivator's innate vital energy, and thereby extend their lifespan.
The Hell Furnace appeared. The flames burning within were no longer merely molten in color, but flickered with specks of platinum light. With a light shake, the furnace drew Lin Yu inside.
"Heaven and earth are the furnace, creation the smith; yin and yang are the charcoal, sun and moon the copper."
The flames of hell blazed fiercely, tempering Lin Yu's essence and qi and making his spirit stronger than ever as it continued to rise. He clearly saw the mist within the five-element divine lands gradually dissipate, while a gate to a heavenly palace appeared above the Sea of Bitterness.
With the powerful aid of the Hell Furnace, Lin Yu pressed forward in one burst of effort and forcefully pushed open that gate to the heavenly palace. At last, he descended upon this mysterious land.
In an instant, heaven and earth opened wide before him. It was as though he had stepped into an entirely new world, one brimming with life that rushed toward him.
At the same time, thunderous roars erupted from within Lin Yu's body. Five vast auras instantly transformed into divine dragons and shot into the heavens, their momentum astounding as they shook heaven and earth.
"Which disciple is this? Breaking through to the Dao Palace Secret Realm with such an enormous display?"
"It's Liang Jing's floating island. On the day of the entrance disciple test, he snatched away an Immortal Seed with extraordinary aptitude. I heard he ran faster than a dog being chased!"
"Which shameless bastard is babbling nonsense here? Come out if you dare, and let's fight for three hundred rounds!"
Upon hearing these discussions, Liang Jing's face instantly turned green. Furious beyond measure, he waved a hand and cut off everyone's line of sight.
"The heart is the ruler of the body, the foundation of all things, and the chief of the five viscera and six bowels."
With the Hell Furnace in his possession, Lin Yu naturally chose the Heart Divine Treasure first. He resolutely broke through the mist before him and arrived before a crimson heavenly palace.
He slowly pushed open the great doors. In an instant, surging Dao Power poured forth like a raging tide before flowing back into his entire body. During this wondrous process, divine power gradually sublimated into Dao Power, faintly containing the mysterious aura of the Great Dao.
Entering the Crimson Emperor Divine Palace, he found it scorching within. A congenital essence lotus slowly bloomed, like a warm fire jade, supporting a newly born deity.
The deity chanted scriptures, inhaled and exhaled primordial qi, and produced Dao Power, endlessly nourishing the body and allowing the flesh to endure without decay.
The Hell Furnace trembled softly and flew over of its own accord, circling above the deity's head. Countless flames flew from the furnace, instantly transforming into fire serpents, fire dragons, firebirds, dazzling sparks, and luxuriant fire trees, all clustering around this Crimson Emperor deity.
In an instant, the entire palace became a wondrous world of fire elements.
