The Marvelous Use of Spirit Arts, Learning the Samsara Death Seal!

"Grandfather, you're exaggerating. I just had a bit of good luck, that's all."

"Compared to Uncle Xiao and Uncle Ken, my strength is still a far cry from theirs."

"I still have a lot to learn."

Naturally, Lin Yan would not simply accept Lin Zhentian's praise.

He remained as low-key as ever, so after hearing Lin Zhentian's words, he merely waved his hand with a faint smile and spoke with extreme humility.

"Bah! You child, you're still so modest."

"How could something like this be a matter of mere luck?"

Lin Zhentian felt a mix of amusement and frustration at this.

He often felt quite helpless regarding Lin Yan's humble and low-key personality.

Other young people at this hot-blooded age would be desperate to show off and stand in the spotlight.

Yet Lin Yan was the opposite; he was unwilling to show off even when opportunities were laid right in front of him.

However, Lin Zhentian felt this was a good thing. After all, it meant Lin Yan had an excellent temperament; at the very least, he wouldn't be greedy for merit, reckless, or impetuous like other youths.

He smiled and said no more.

As for Lin Xiao and Lin Ken, they took the opportunity to explain to Lin Zhentian, "Father, actually, Yan'er had already crossed paths with Lei Ying earlier, and he didn't fall behind in the slightest."

"Most importantly, Yan'er is still only at the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm."

As these words fell, the excitement in Lin Zhentian's eyes grew even more intense.

"Hahahaha!"

"Good, good, good!"

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, and as he continued to look at Lin Yan, his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"Heaven truly blesses our Lin Clan!"

He didn't continue to say much more. After all, he understood Lin Yan's personality well by now, so since he didn't want to be in the limelight, Lin Zhentian would do as he wished.

However, after such an event, the joy in Lin Zhentian's heart could not be suppressed.

His face was full of smiles, and as for the dark clouds that had been lingering in his heart due to the destruction of Ironwood Manor, they had long since vanished!

"Now, let this old man go and take a look at this Sun Essence Mine."

"The Lei Clan never would have imagined that there was such a vein beneath Ironwood Manor."

"Those people are truly fools; they lived here for so long without discovering it. It's a complete waste of heaven's gifts."

Lin Zhentian smiled and quickly set off toward the Sun Essence Mine. Later, after discovering the exact location of the vein, he was so excited that he ordered all the other guards in the Lin Clan to be mobilized to begin full-scale mining.

Lin Yan and Lin Dong naturally didn't have to do such manual labor. Given their status in the Lin Clan, they were completely free to do as they pleased; if they needed anything, they could simply ask, and the Lin Clan would never refuse.

The next day, Lin Yan had originally intended to start cultivating the Samsara Death Seal.

After all, he was indeed very interested in this Spirit Art from the Great Thousand World.

Even though it was only ranked at the lowest Mortal grade in the Great Thousand World.

It was, after all, a product of a higher plane, and in the hands of another protagonist, Mu Chen, this Spirit Art seemed to shine brilliantly.

So, after waking up and having a simple breakfast, he was eager to start cultivating.

"Brother Lin Yan."

"Here, take this."

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong ran to his room early in the morning and excitedly handed him a pill.

Lin Yan was a pill refiner, after all; at a glance, he noticed that there was no medicinal power on it.

In other words, this pill was not refined from medicinal herbs.

Instead, he sensed a strong aura of Sun Essence from the pill, so after some deduction, Lin Yan asked Lin Dong directly:

"Little Brother Lin Dong, this thing is a Yang Yuan Pill, right?"

Lin Dong was surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected Lin Yan to see through it at a glance, so he asked in confusion, "Brother Lin Yan, you really saw it?"

Lin Yan rolled his eyes at him. "You think you can hide this from your brother? Keep dreaming."

He then asked Lin Dong directly, "Where did you get it?"

Lin Dong said with a grin, "It's a secret. Don't worry about it, Brother Lin Yan, just keep it."

Lin Yan had roughly guessed that it came from the Stone Talisman, but he was very happy that Lin Dong had this intention. After all, the fact that he came to share it with him immediately after obtaining a good treasure was enough to show that he considered him a real brother.

So, Lin Yan didn't say much more, just smiled at Lin Dong and said, "Alright, then I'll accept it. I owe you one this time."

Lin Dong waved his hands repeatedly. "What are you saying, Brother? Between brothers, we don't talk about that."

"Besides, as for favors, the favors you've done for me are far greater."

Lin Yan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say it."

He then added, "Then I'm going to start cultivating."

"Still too weak. I need to strengthen my power."

Lin Dong's mouth twitched upon hearing this. After a bitter laugh, he obediently went off to cultivate.

After all, from Lin Dong's perspective, if someone as formidable as Brother Lin Yan was still cultivating with such humility, what excuse did he have not to work hard?

Thus, he soon departed as well.

Lin Yan watched Lin Dong leave, then returned to the backyard to begin his own cultivation.

He took out the Mortal-grade high-tier Spirit Art he had obtained from the system: the Samsara Death Seal.

Then, together with Yao Lao, he began to study the cultivation and circulation methods of the Samsara Death Seal.

The old man and the youth examined it carefully from beginning to end. Once they had grasped all the mysteries within, a trace of astonishment appeared in both their eyes.

"So, Yuan Power can be manipulated in this way?"

Lin Yan could not help but speak up.

Although it was only a Mortal-grade high-tier Spirit Art, the fact that it was a product of the Great Thousand World remained unchanged.

Furthermore, through this study, Lin Yan reached another conclusion.

That was, when it came to the application of Yuan Power, the people of the Great Thousand World were even more profound than those of the Dou Qi Continent!

Lin Yan had now mastered techniques from three worlds.

In the Martial Movement World, they were called Martial Arts; in the Dou Qi world, they were called Dou Techniques; and in the Great Thousand World, they were called Spirit Arts.

However, across these three planes, Lin Yan drew a conclusion.

The Martial Movement World's application of Yuan Power was the most simple and brutal. They preferred to strengthen the physical body, and as for Yuan Power, it was not as refined as in the Dou Qi world or the Great Thousand World.

As for the Dou Qi world, although its application of Yuan Power was much more refined than that of the Martial Movement World, it still fell short compared to the Great Thousand World. This was because most Dou Techniques in the Dou Qi world could only achieve elemental classification. In other words, they transformed Dou Qi into attacks of various attributes to fend off enemies.

But the Great Thousand World was different; it could not only achieve elemental transformation but even creation and manifestation.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan recalled that many Divine Arts in The Great Ruler could achieve manifestation, meaning they could directly transform into various powerful exotic beasts. For example, Mu Chen's Divine Art—the Four Gods Constellation Scripture—was exactly like that.

"As expected of the Great Thousand World."

"This method of manipulating Yuan Power is something even this old man has seen for the first time."

Yao Lao's eyes could not help but light up.

It was not that the Samsara Death Seal was incredibly profound, but rather, for Yao Lao and Lin Yan, after seeing its cultivation and circulation methods, they had gained a preliminary understanding of the Great Thousand World's Spirit Arts and found new inspiration for manipulating Yuan Power.

"Senior Yao Lao, let me give it a try."

Lin Yan said to Yao Lao, then sat cross-legged, preparing to begin his attempt immediately.

He had a premonition that he might gain a certain degree of inspiration from this Spirit Art, and if so, it would certainly be of immense benefit to his future use of both Dou Techniques and Martial Arts.
