Ever since Lin Yu revealed his strength and passed the Radiant Divine King Incantation on to his fellow disciples, he had fully integrated into the group. Every day, they sparred and cultivated together, drank wine, and discussed the Dao.
"Junior Brother, in this Holy Son selection, the disciples of those reclusive Grand Elders are nothing to worry about. You mainly need to watch out for two people." One day, after discussing the Dao with Lin Yu, Yun Lan said,
"One is Chu Lingkong, and the other is Li Rui. They were once known alongside the Yaoguang Holy Son and Yaoguang Holy Maiden as the Four Great Experts of the younger generation. They have now entered the Four Extremities Secret Realm."
Lin Yu knew of these two. Chu Lingkong was the senior disciple of Shaking Light Sacred Land's current generation and had nearly been chosen as Holy Son in the past.
Li Rui was likewise an expert among the Reserve Holy Sons, second only to Chu Lingkong. Unfortunately, his luck had been poor. He had first been defeated by Xia Jiuyou, then later been defeated and captured alive by Pang Bo while trying to apprehend Ye Fan.
If a true Radiant Divine Body fought them at the Dao Palace First Layer, there might indeed have been a chance of an upset. Unfortunately, he was not a Radiant Divine Body. He cultivated the Divine Elephant's Prison Technique. Even if Lin Yu sealed most of his strength, they would not be able to resist him.
In this Holy Son selection, the disciples of Shaking Light Sacred Land would probably suffer when they encountered someone like him who refused to follow the usual path.
"It does not matter. So what if they are in the Four Extremities Secret Realm? A battle is not decided by simply showing off one's realm." Lin Yu's eyes were clear, his manner calm and composed, his spirit high as he said,
"After breaking through to the Dao Palace, my divine body has been further awakened. My strength is improving at every moment. I happen to need someone from the Four Extremities Secret Realm to test it on."
Fine, fine. Opponents in the Dao Palace Secret Realm no longer satisfied him, was that it? Then what did that make me?
Seeing Lin Yu brimming with confidence, Yun Lan suddenly felt like hitting someone for some reason.
He let out a furious roar, then dragged a junior brother who had been secretly drinking up Lingyuan. Soon, wave after wave of miserable screams could be heard from behind them—enough to break the hearts of those who heard them and bring tears to their eyes.
The junior brothers who had no idea what was going on were frightened into trembling.
Ten days later, one morning, Zhang Lingxu suddenly sent Lin Yu a voice transmission, summoning him over.
Lin Yu arrived at the main hall and saw him seated in the seat of honor. His hair was disheveled, several strands of white hair damp with sweat and stuck to his weary face. His long robe was covered in wrinkles and stained with dust and grass clippings from the road.
Where had he rushed back from? Lin Yu wondered, then obediently bowed.
"Three days ago, news came from a Source Mine in the Northern Region that a variant source with a light attribute had appeared. Upon hearing it, I hurried there, only to encounter the Northern Region bandit Xu Tianxiong on the road and exchange blows with him."
Zhang Lingxu's originally bright eyes were now bloodshot and exhausted. "This box contains that variant source. Open it and have a look."
So he went to the Northern Region to find a treasure for me.
Lin Yu thought, This old man is pretty decent!
He reached out and took the box. With a light flick of his long fingers, the lid popped open with a click.
A gentle yet brilliant golden radiance emerged. It was not dazzling, but resembled the morning sun just rising over the horizon, filling one with warmth and hope.
"This is a variant source—the Blazing Sun Spirit Source!" Lin Yu had thoroughly studied the Source Heavenly Book, which recorded this spirit source. It was exceedingly rare and precious, usually appearing only in ancient sacred lands of light or special mineral veins favored by the laws of light.
It contained an incomparably pure power of light, like the core of a miniature sun.
"Since you recognize this object, I need not say much more. Ancient records state that the Blazing Sun Spirit Source can strengthen the origin of your Radiant Divine Body, giving you greater confidence in this Holy Son selection." Zhang Lingxu's voice was sonorous and his bearing imposing as he declared,
"Take it back and refine it as soon as possible. Strive to rise another level before the Holy Son selection. If you can defeat the others and become Holy Son, then my clash with Xu Tianxiong will not have been in vain."
"Elder, rest assured. I will not yield the position of Holy Son to anyone!" Lin Yu stood tall with blazing eyes, his words brimming with certainty.
Afterward, Lin Yu returned to his secluded cultivation chamber, took out the spirit source, and examined it carefully.
The surface of the Blazing Sun Spirit Source was covered in golden patterns like flowing magma. The patterns slowly drifted like lively streams, sparkling with tiny points of light, as though stars from the night sky had melted into it. It was dreamlike and fantastical.
Lin Yu flipped his hand through the air. In an instant, the Hell Furnace appeared out of nowhere. Within the furnace, specks of platinum-white flames tumbled and danced like sprites, releasing a scorching, mysterious aura.
As though drawn by an invisible force, the Blazing Sun Spirit Source shot straight into the Hell Furnace with a whoosh.
Whoosh! A mass of light silently condensed from the depths of the void.
At first, only a faint glow flickered like a spark. In the blink of an eye, it expanded at an astonishing speed, like raging tides, illuminating the entire space as it condensed into a massive golden sphere of light.
Within the sphere, countless golden runes flickered in and out of sight. These runes were fragments of ancient laws of light, exuding an archaic and powerful aura.
The golden sphere automatically divided into strands of gentle light containing immense power, which softly merged into Lin Yu's body. Nourished by the power of light, the Giant Elephant Particles that had lain dormant within Lin Yu began to stir with life and gradually awaken.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Ten successive deep, powerful sounds echoed through Lin Yu's body. In an instant, another ten particles successfully awakened.
Including the forty particles awakened earlier, fifty Giant Elephant Particles had now awakened within his body.
Such immense Power of the Ancient Giant Elephant gathered together and poured ceaselessly into his body.
At this moment, Lin Yu felt that he was no longer human, but the embryonic form of a deity about to descend upon the world. Endless power surged within him. Every inch of his skin and every bone rejoiced as they underwent the baptism of this tremendous strength.
As the giant elephant power continued to pour in, the meridians within Lin Yu's body underwent earth-shaking changes as well.
His meridians transformed completely. Every one of them became unimaginably thick, while their toughness was equally extraordinary.
Closing his eyes for Inner Vision, he saw that the channels of every Meridian had become platinum-white, sacred and inviolable. Within them flowed platinum-white Dao Power, nearly fused as one with his blood.
Lin Yu circulated the Divine Elephant's Prison Technique, and the aura around his body changed at once. A powerful presence erupted like a volcanic explosion.
Moments later, the Spear of the Underworld God silently appeared. Runes flickered across its shaft, platinum-white runes like lively sprites cleverly hidden within the spear and perfectly fused with it.
The Spear of the Underworld God was no longer dark gold. Platinum-white runes gleamed within it, like glory bestowed upon it by the gods themselves, making it incomparably powerful.
Lin Yu held the spear upright before him, his entire body bathed in platinum-white radiance. Sacred and inviolable, he seemed to be receiving the most sincere blessings of all the gods in the heavens.
