Legends of Him All Along the Way

"Fellow Daoist Li, the Sin Suppression Hall is divided into many areas, such as the cultivation hall. Cultivating inside can greatly increase your cultivation speed."

"This is the trading hall, where you can trade resources. By the way, the currency in our Land of Rules is contribution points."

"And then there's the main hall of missions..."

Sun Qi and Zheng Mingyang explained the Sin Suppression Hall to Li Yunshan in detail, and also talked about the Land of Rules, so that Li Yunshan could quickly understand the Land of Rules.

"Fellow Daoist Li, this is where I need to emphasize my point. This is the Battle Hall, and within it lies a Battle Hall Battle Ranking, which records all the powerful beings of all races below the Immortal Seventh Grade."

"If one can leave their mark on the Battle Ranking, they can be called a prodigy among all races; if they can enter the top 100, they can be considered a monster among all races."

"Given the countless races and beings, to stand out among so many is a testament to one's exceptional talent."

Hearing what the two were saying, Li Yunshan also looked curiously at the Battle Hall, "I wonder how many of our Human Race have their names recorded on the Battle Ranking?"

"Currently, our Human Race has a total of thirty-six people on the Battle Ranking, which is quite a number. You should know that in the last Battle Ranking, our Human Race only had six people on the list."

"Of course, although there were only six people in the last competition, the quality of that competition was unimaginably higher than this one."

"Because the previous champion on the Battle Ranking was our Human Race."

"And that person who ranked first on the Battle Ranking has now reached the Eternal Realm, becoming our Human Race's only ancestor."

At this point, Sun Qi and Zheng Mingyang also looked proud. Although they had never been on the Battle Ranking, they still felt honored.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunshan's eyes flickered, and he made a guess in his mind. He immediately asked, "May I ask what the name of the person ranked first on the Battle Ranking is?"

"Fellow Daoist Li, how can I address you by your given name directly? But it's not exactly a secret. My surname is Lin, and my given name is An," Sun Qi said with a smile.

Li Yunshan nodded, thinking to himself that he was indeed his grandson.

At this moment, Zheng Mingyang seemed to remember something and looked at Li Yunshan, asking, "Fellow Daoist Li, our ancestor also came from the Domain, and you only just arrived from the Domain. You should know our ancestor, right?"

Sun Qi's eyes lit up as well. Yes, the Ancestor and this Fellow Daoist Li arrived in the Land of Rules several decades apart, so they must know of the Ancestor's existence.

"We know each other, and we're quite familiar with each other," Li Yunshan said with a smile.

How could they not know each other well? He's their only grandson.

Upon hearing this, Sun Qi and Zheng Mingyang were immediately excited, not expecting that this Fellow Daoist Li was actually quite familiar with the Ancestor.

He immediately wanted to ask about the ancestor's affairs in the Domain, but before he could speak, a figure appeared.

"I am He Qingtang, the City Lord of Fire Firmament City. I have come here on the orders of our Ancestor to receive our Ancestor's bloodline relatives."

He Qingtang cupped his hands to Li Yunshan and said, "May I ask how you are addressed?"

Before Li Yunshan could speak, Sun Qi and Zheng Mingyang, who were standing to the side, were stunned and stared at Li Yunshan in disbelief.

The other party was actually the ancestor's blood relative?

They didn't believe their city lord would make such a joke; otherwise, if the patriarch found out, they would be in big trouble.

Thinking back to Li Yunshan's earlier statement about being very familiar with the ancestor, it turns out he was very familiar with him in this way. How could blood relatives not be familiar with each other?

"Lord He, my name is Li Yunshan. We can address each other as fellow Daoists." Li Yunshan returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Li in person. The Ancestor has already instructed me that if you come, I will receive you."

He Qingtang said, "I have already arranged accommodations for you, fellow Daoist. You may follow me."

Just as Li Yunshan was about to nod in agreement, Sun Qi spoke up, "Lord City Lord, Fellow Daoist Li has not yet been registered."

"I almost forgot, I'll take you to register first."

He Qingtang nodded, "You two should go back first. Don't speak carelessly about what you're saying."

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, we know what to do."

Without further ado, Sun Qi and Zheng Mingyang bowed to Li Yunshan again before heading towards the Reception Hall.

"Fellow Daoist, this way please."

He Qingtang said, and then took Li Yunshan to register and obtain an identity token for Li Yunshan.

After registering, He Qingtang led Li Yunshan to a mansion next to the City Lord's Residence.

"Fellow Daoist, when our ancestor first came to the Land of Rules, he stayed here. The City Lord's Residence is right next door. If you need anything, please feel free to call me."

"Furthermore, this is something the Ancestor instructed beforehand: if any close blood relatives arrive, they should be handed over to you, fellow Daoist."

He Qingtang spoke, he handed the storage ring to Li Yunshan.

"Thank you for your trouble, City Lord He. I wonder if you have time to tell me in detail about the current situation in the Land of Rules? Also, I would like to know about An'er's situation," Li Yunshan asked.

Upon hearing Li Yunshan address Lin An in this way, He Qingtang paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "May I ask what your relationship is with my Human Race ancestor?"

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am An'er's maternal grandfather," Li Yunshan said with a smile.

He Qingtang understood, and his attitude became even more respectful.

Even blood relatives have degrees of closeness, and Li Yunshan, as Lin An's maternal grandfather, was already considered to be extremely close by blood.

"In that case, I'll have someone prepare some light wine to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey. I'll also like to tell you about this Land of Rules and the matter of the Ancestor."

As soon as He Qingtang finished speaking, he immediately gave the orders, and soon the servants and maids in the mansion were busy.

"Fellow Daoist, besides our Human Race, there are many other races in the Land of Rules; it can be said to be a land where myriad races coexist."

Before the appearance of our ancestor, our Human Race could only be considered slightly above average among all races.

"However, with the Heavenly Sword guarding us, other races dare not provoke us."

"However, since the appearance of our ancestor, the status of our Human Race in the Land of Rules has begun to change."

"When our ancestor first arrived in the Land of Rules, he first challenged the Battle Ranking Battle Ranking and left his name on it."

"After that, he went to the Heavenly Pass. It is said that the Ancestor entered the Sin Domain alone, killed countless Sin Beast, and returned unscathed, and his strength also increased wildly."

"Then the Sacred Realm opened, and in the Battle Ranking competition, the Ancestor alone suppressed countless geniuses and prodigies. Even the prodigies from top clans like the Dragon Race and the Nether Race were only killed by the Ancestor with a few strikes."

"Our Human Race has never had a champion on the Battle Ranking, but our ancestor did, becoming our Human Race's first champion on the Battle Ranking."

"Then the ancestor entered the Sacred Realm to cultivate. Later, according to the accounts of other prodigies from top races, the ancestor once defied the Eternal Realm while still at the Immortal Sacred Realm."

"..."

When the topic turned to Lin An's arrival in the Land of Rules, He Qingtang became quite animated, describing it vividly as if he had been there himself.

Hearing what He Qingtang said, Li Yunshan was both surprised and felt it made perfect sense.

Whether in the Myriad Spirits Realm or in Domain, An'er will always be the most dazzling one.

Even after arriving in this Land of Rules, even amidst the myriad races and countless powerful figures, An'er's brilliance could not be concealed.

His journey, from the Myriad Spirits Realm to the Domain, and now to the Land of Rules, has been marked by the other party's legend.

"Later, our ancestor achieved Eternal, and the status of our Human Race rose rapidly. However, this was also due to our ancestor; in reality, the strength of our Human Race still cannot compare with those top-tier races."

"Fortunately, we have our ancestor. He refined a large number of pills, and these pills are extremely effective, with one being equivalent to thousands of others, which has led to the emergence of many powerful individuals in our Human Race."

"To this day, the strength of our Human Race is comparable to, or even surpasses, those of the top races."

He Qingtang took a sip of water and said with a sigh, "Our ancestor is truly the most monstrous talent I have ever seen in my life. It's a pity you arrived a little late, fellow Daoist."

"The Ancestor specially opened a training ground to preach some time ago. If you had come then, you might have been able to see him. Now the Ancestor is in seclusion, and we don't know when he will emerge."

"But rest assured, fellow Daoist, the Ancestor has instructed me to take good care of you. If you need anything, please feel free to let me know."

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord He."

Li Yunshan said with a smile.

"It's nothing. In fact, I hope you'll continue to take care of me in the future," He Qingtang said.

The two continued chatting, and this conversation lasted for three days.

"If you have nothing else to attend to, I will take my leave now."

"Very well, thank you for these three days, City Lord."

After He Qingtang left, Li Yunshan also came to the cultivation room and took out the storage ring that Lin An had left for him.

As its power surged into the storage ring, a flood of information rushed into Li Yunshan's mind, all of it related to the Land of Rules and the uses of the resources in the storage ring.

"An'er is so thoughtful."

After a while, Li Yunshan came to his senses and looked at the large amount of resources in his storage ring with a sigh on his face.

For the first half of his life, he thought that at most he could only become the Heavenly Vault King, and that reaching the King Realm Ninth Grade would be his limit.

Little did he expect that, because of his grandson, he would now see a much wider world and his cultivation would reach the Immortal.

With the resources he now possesses in his storage ring, he even has a chance to achieve the Eternal Realm.

Although he looked like an old man, he was actually not that old compared to the other beings in the Land of Rules; none of them were over two hundred years old.

To achieve Immortal at less than two hundred years old is considered the height of genius even in this Land of Rules.

"Since An'er has given me the opportunity to achieve Eternal, I naturally cannot miss it."

Li Yunshan thought for a moment, then took out a blue lotus platform.

This lotus platform was specially crafted by Lin An, and its effect is quite simple: in addition to increasing the speed of refining pills, the most important thing is that it can accelerate time.

The acceleration isn't that great, only around 100 times, but it's still considered a treasure.

After activating the lotus platform, Li Yunshan immediately felt the flow of time accelerate. Without wasting any time, he took out a pill, swallowed it, and began cultivating.

Cultivation knows no time; in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

What appears to be twenty years in the outside world is actually equivalent to two thousand years of cultivation for Li Yunshan.

Over two thousand years, with the help of the elixirs left behind by Lin An, his cultivation level has risen from the Immortal Third Grade to the Immortal Ninth Grade, and he has also embarked on the path to the Extreme Realm.

"The Extreme Realm Third Heaven, that's already my limit."

Li Yunshan stopped cultivating, after all, when he was in the Sovereign Realm, he could only reach the Extreme Realm Third Heaven at most.

Although there is still a chance to reach the Extreme Realm Fourth Heaven, it will take much longer.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to force the pursuit of the Extreme Realm anymore. Let's start preparing to break through to the Eternal Realm."

Li Yunshan took out the Origin Pill, adjusted his state, and then took the Origin Pill to begin cultivating.

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, the entire holy land was under martial law, with all the powerful members of the Council of Elders arriving to seal off the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land.

All eyes turned to a cave dwelling atop the mountain peak, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"How much time has passed?"

"A year has passed in the outside world, but within the sacred land, there is an array left by the ancestor, which is equivalent to a hundred years having passed."

"A hundred years have passed. I wonder how Wu Tianshan is doing, and whether he has been able to break through to the Eternal Realm."

"There shouldn't be any problem. The entire Holy Land is now permeated with the opponent's aura, which is far more powerful than that of Immortal. It shouldn't be long before the opponent breaks through."

"..."

The reason the Holy Land was under martial law was because Wu Tianshan, with the help of the Origin Pill, had finally begun his attempt to break through to the Eternal Realm.

Everyone was filled with anticipation. If Wu Tianshan broke through to the Eternal Realm, it would mean that the entire Human Race would have two beings at the Eternal Realm.

In this way, even if Ancestor Lin An is not among the Human Race, there will still be Eternal Realm expert guarding the Human Race.

Boom...

Just as everyone was talking, the entire holy land suddenly trembled, and then a terrifying pressure swept across the entire area.

As this oppressive force appeared, everyone lowered their heads, and their bodies felt incredibly heavy.

But the people who lowered their heads were not alarmed; instead, they showed expressions of surprise and delight.

This is the oppressive aura of the Eternal Realm expert.

Although he cannot compare to Ancestor Lin An, he is not even comparable to the Immortal Realm; he is a true Eternal Realm expert.

Whoosh!

At this moment, countless strange phenomena appeared in the sky above the entire holy land, and at the same time, a long river of time and destiny spanning heaven and earth emerged.

The moment this long river appeared, the entire Land of Rules fell silent, and all the creatures of all races showed expressions of shock.

In the past, they might have wondered what kind of strange phenomenon this was, but the strange phenomenon triggered by Lin An's breakthrough to the Eternal Realm made them understand everything instantly.

"A powerful individual has broken through to the Eternal Realm!"

This thought arose in the minds of all living beings.

At the same time, Ao Zhuo and other Eternal Realm experts also looked on in disbelief.

They never expected that, less than a century after Lin An, another being would achieve the Eternal Realm.

"I wonder who it is that has broken through to the Eternal Realm so quietly."

"We'll find out soon enough. It's probably not one of our major races. It seems the Land of Rules is about to gain another top-tier race."

"This is a good thing. With another Eternal Realm expert, the pressure on us will be much less."

"..."

Ao Zhuo and the others all looked towards the long river, wanting to see which clan's expert had broken through.

Soon, a figure appeared on the long river, and upon seeing that figure, Ao Zhuo and the others, as well as all the creatures of the myriad races, were all taken aback.
