Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 1268: Chapter 22: Exploration and Gains

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect was unsure if Lin Yuan was still inside Qingyun Institute.

But if he wanted to meet this elder, there was no other place to go except Qingyun Institute.

With Lin Yuan’s strength, even if he wasn’t currently at Qingyun Institute, he would surely be aware of everything happening here, and their visit would not go unnoticed.

Thus, after expressing his respectful intention to meet, the Sect Master quietly stood in place.

If Lin Yuan wanted to see them, they naturally could meet.

If he did not wish to meet, the Sect Master wouldn’t dare to force it.

It’s unknown how much time had passed.

A voice echoed beside the Sect Master’s ear.

It also sounded in the ears of four hundred and fifty-six elders.

“Come in.”

“Yes.” The Sect Master’s mind steadied.

Through this response, he was assured that Lin Yuan bore no malice toward Qingyun Saint Sect and perhaps even had goodwill.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t agree to their visit.

Soon thereafter,

the Sect Master and numerous elders stepped into the depths of Qingyun Institute.

“Here?”

As they proceeded further inside, the Sect Master’s expression slightly changed, for he could no longer sense the presence of the outside world.

As the Sect Master, he could control Qingyun Sacred Mountain at any time, but now he can’t detect it, as if this place was completely isolated from the external world.

“The elder’s mastery over time and space…”

The Sect Master trembled in shock, opening up such an independent space within Qingyun Sacred Mountain? Such a method was akin to constructing one’s den under a tiger’s nose.

As Sect Master, he could command everything within the Holy Sect in a single thought, yet for so many years, he had detected nothing.

If Lin Yuan truly harbored any intent to harm the Holy Sect, he wouldn’t be able to resist in the slightest, not even able to react.

The Sect Master and the elders didn’t walk for long.

Soon, they arrived at a broad space.

Sitting cross-legged in the center was a figure, none other than Lin Yuan.

“Greetings, elder.”

The Sect Master immediately bowed.

Hundreds of elders behind him likewise bowed.

“Mm.”

Lin Yuan nodded, then casually asked, “For what reason are you seeking me?”

“Elder, not long ago, I used the Sect’s inherited rune exploration technique and saw that giant demon…”

The Sect Master spoke honestly, without hiding Lin Yuan’s action that he had glimpsed.

In fact, at the end of the rune-spun image, the Sect Master realized Lin Yuan had already noticed their spying.

To hide it at this point would be purely foolish.

“I’ve come this time to thank the elder for years of shielding our Holy Sect…”

The Sect Master expressed his gratitude.

“No problem.”

Lin Yuan slightly shook his head.

For a thousand years, he continued wiping out nearby demon spirits and great demons, significantly reducing the casualties when the Holy Sect’s disciples went out to hunt, which could be considered a form of protection.

And given Lin Yuan’s character, if Qingyun Saint Sect ever truly faced a life-and-death crisis after he regained his strength, he would not ignore it.

With Lin Yuan’s power, unless besieged by a group of Source Demons, Qingyun Saint Sect would likely remain as stable as a mountain.

Therefore, the phrase “no problem” was completely justified.

“That rune exploration secret technique…”

Lin Yuan asked with interest.

He was quite intrigued by the use of runes, feeling it had an intriguing origin, seemingly not created by the Qingyun Saint Sect.

After all, the founder of Qingyun Saint Sect was merely a strong cultivator of the First Realm, roughly equivalent to a Chaos Great Saint. How could such a figure have developed a spying secret technique that almost fooled him?

“Elder, that rune Dao of the spying secret technique originated from the Eternal Sect at the center of Heaven and Earth.”

The Sect Master immediately replied.

“Eternal Sect?”

Lin Yuan looked at the Sect Master of the Holy Sect.

According to the information he knew, the Eternal Sect was a force with a Thirteenth Realm time-life residing within it.

At the dawn of Heaven and Earth’s transformation, the origin of endless demonic qi emerged within the realm of the Eternal Sect, and even now, countless ‘demons’ wreak havoc in the world, but the most powerful Source Demons mainly concentrate in the center of Heaven and Earth, restrained by the Eternal Sect.

“Indeed.”

The Sect Master nodded and said, “At the beginning of Heaven and Earth’s transformation, the Eternal Sect often dispatched envoys to travel among our sects, providing some support. That secret technique was given by the Eternal Sect, specifically used to explore Great Demons and demons above them.”

“It’s just a pity that it’s been a long time since the last envoy came.”

The Sect Master sighed, speculating that the Eternal Sect was under significant pressure now and unable to tend to minor factions like theirs.

“I see.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

No wonder he almost didn’t detect the spying secret technique; it turns out it came from the Eternal Sect.

“Can you give me those secret techniques?”

Lin Yuan said directly.

These secret techniques from the Eternal Sect were absolutely not stored within Qingyun Institute, and Lin Yuan had no way to know them.

“Alright.”

The Sect Master of the Holy Sect took out a jade slip, which contained all secret techniques from the Eternal Sect.

For Qingyun Saint Sect, no matter how many secret techniques there are, they cannot compare to Lin Yuan’s protection.

Seeing Lin Yuan begin to explore the secret techniques within the jade slip, the Sect Master and all the elders immediately wisely retreated.

“Marvelous, truly marvelous.”

Lin Yuan roughly browsed through the secret techniques in the jade slip, his eyes shining slightly.

The application of these secret techniques to the Rune Dao had reached an unbelievable level, even Lin Yuan was deeply moved upon first sight.

“Thirteenth level, these secret techniques must have been crafted by someone at the thirteenth level.”

Lin Yuan affirmed in his mind, he vaguely perceived the perspective of the thirteenth level time life from these secret techniques.

Only a strong figure capable of observing every timeline at the thirteenth level could create such perfect secret techniques.

“Eternal Sect.”

Lin Yuan looked up at the center of the world, then immediately continued to comprehend.

After spending half the day, Lin Yuan had essentially comprehended the dozens of rune secret skills recorded in the jade slip.

These secret techniques cover various aspects, enough to show that at the beginning of the great change of heaven and earth, the Eternal Sect indeed plans to help numerous sects and forces to overcome their difficulties.

“The inheritance of Rune Dao is truly profound.”

Lin Yuan felt deeply moved, originally thinking that his understanding of the Rune Dao, though not at the level of complete comprehension, had gotten him most of the way, yet now seeing these dozens of secret techniques from the Eternal Sect.

Lin Yuan then realized he was still far from comprehending the Rune Dao fully.

“The two Primordial Spirits have already explored to very distant regions.”

Lin Yuan gazed deeply, ever since discovering a lack of ‘demon’ quantities nearby.

Lin Yuan sent out the two Primordial Spirits to explore further regions, firstly to hunt more ‘demons.’

Secondly, to find forces similar to Qingyun Saint Sect, and then obtain corresponding rune inheritances.

This was also the reason for deploying his true self when terrifying demons appeared.

With the two Primordial Spirits not by his side, as for recomposing them? There’s no need.

“Continue developing the particle worlds.”

Lin Yuan pulled back his thoughts, having just refined the terrifying demon close to Source Demon, resources were abundant.

For every particle world developed, Lin Yuan’s strength would gain slightly.

…

In a place extremely distant from Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

Lin Yuan Taiyin Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged, sending avatars to explore in all directions.

The strength of the avatars was far inferior to the true self, primarily for paving the way; they would handle whatever they could, and if it couldn’t be handled, the Taiyin Primordial Spirit would step in.

Using avatars in a carpet exploration was currently the most efficient method Lin Yuan could think of.

Even if encountering danger, dissolving the avatars was sufficient.

“According to ancient records collected by Qingyun Institute, before the great change in heaven and earth, the forces in this Fang Yuan World were divided into five levels.”

Lin Yuan contemplated, “The first level, naturally, is the Eternal Sect, with a thirteenth level time life presiding, eternal and immortal.”

“The second level of forces is the Supreme Saint Sect, with a transcendental Third Realm strong figure presiding, which is equivalent to the Invincible Great Saint, Strongest Venerable level strong figures.”

“The third level would be ordinary saints like Qingyun Saint Sect, founded by someone who stepped into the Transcendent Three Realms; in fact, Qingyun Saint Sect barely entered this level.”

“For the fourth and fifth levels, they were forces established by Longevity Six Realms strong figures, numerous in quantity.”

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; in this Fang Yuan World, due to the widespread Rune Dao, there were many Longevity Six Realms strong figures, only by stepping into Transcendent Three Realms could one be considered ascending to heaven.

“But after exploring for so long, even the second-level Supreme Saint Sect forces, let alone third-level saint forces, haven’t been discovered.”

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly; he wanted to discover forces that had been broken by ‘demons,’ as for those that could still continue their inheritance? Those were basically hidden deeply, making them extremely difficult to find.

Forces and sects broken by ‘demons’ certainly would not leave any cultivators, but many inheritances, especially Rune Dao inheritances, would likely have remains.

Those ‘demons’ had no interest in inheritance; they only craved to devour life.

And when a sect force was broken, the sect master often leaves a glimmer of hope for the sect inheritance, at least allowing future cultivators who get close to discover their own inheritance.

Over the years, apart from hunting ‘demons,’ Lin Yuan’s two Primordial Spirits, when exploring externally, also searched for forces that were broken by demons, to gain the remaining Rune Dao inheritance.

However, so far, the force sites Lin Yuan discovered were all fourth-level and fifth-level sects, even if there were Rune inheritances remaining, they didn’t help Lin Yuan much.

Lin Yuan aspired to obtain higher-level sect force sites, at least saint-level sect sites.

“Sadly, after the great change, all major sects controlled the migration of their main bases to avoid the ‘demon’ disaster, causing pre-change maps to be useless, only forces like the Eternal Sect have means to detect the exact positions of some sect forces.”

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

For instance, the Qingyun Saint Sect, their main base Qingyun Sacred Mountain was a weapon at the Transcendent Three Realms level, even able to take all sect disciples away in times of necessity.

“Take it slow.”

Lin Yuan was not anxious, always monitoring the exploration results of numerous avatars.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly, one of his avatars discovered a sect site.

This site had extremely chaotic time and space, even after being completely broken by demons, over billions of years, it was slowly recovering, the numerous grand formations of the site began to revive.

“This site is extraordinary indeed…”

Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed, carefully observing the distant site.
