Chapter 1 Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance (Please Subscribe)_2
Much stronger than the twelve seventh-rank paths left in Central Divine Continent.
And even so, the seventh rank is the upper limit on the Martial Tao path, and naturally, it's far inferior when compared to the Immortal Cultivation System with its boundless potential.
"Xianyao City is under the protection of Daode Immortal Sect, and there are many families within the city at present, but the strongest is still the 'Martial Temple'."
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Martial Temple is the sacred ground of Xianyao City, said to be related to the Martial Ancestor.
At the founding of Xianyao City, several practitioners at the Seventh Stage of Martial Tao joined hands to establish the Martial Temple, promoting the Martial Tao Cultivation System until today.
Without the foundation of the Martial Temple continuously cultivating Martial Dao Cultivators, whether the Martial Tao Cultivation System would still exist is a matter of debate.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What I need to do first now is to improve my strength," Lin Yuan's thoughts converged.
This body also practiced Martial Tao, but the realm was too low, it hadn't even entered the Grand Master Realm, not to mention stepping into the Second Layer, there was still a long way to go to complete the First Rank.
...
After a brief cultivation session.
Having "corrected" many mistakes in the original owner's cultivation, Lin Yuan stepped out of the room.
Martial Tao is not like the Immortal Path, it doesn't have an indispensable thirst for Spiritual Energy, but that doesn't mean that cultivation of Martial Tao doesn't need resources.
On the contrary, Martial Tao has a great demand for resources, especially at the Sixth Rank, where one needs to open an Inner World, consuming resources that can be described as vast as mountains and seas.
Of course, opening the Inner World at the Peak of the Sixth Rank, Lin Yuan's creation of the Perfect Seventh Stage path, has led the Martial Tao Cultivation System in the Spirit Realm to stop at the Seventh Rank. Without Lin Yuan's further contributions, being able to stay intact is already good enough.
The vastness of the Spirit Realm with the Immortal Cultivation System occupying the mainstream spot, alongside many other cultivation systems, makes the presence of Martial Tao rather unremarkable.
Lin Yuan walked out of the courtyard and was quickly spotted by a maid.
"Young Master, you're awake?" This maid had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage and was cultivated by the Lin Family from a young age.
Even a family with roots in Xianyao City, like the Lin Family, preferred the Immortal Cultivation System at heart.
Soon.
Lin Yuan's parents rushed over.
"Chang Er, are you all right?" a beautiful woman approached and, after carefully examining Lin Yuan, said with joy on her face, "How do you feel now?"
"Not bad," Lin Yuan nodded.
According to memory, the original owner loved the Martial Tao Cultivation System very much, but unfortunately, due to being impatient for quick success, he encountered problems during cultivation and fell into a coma.
As a result, Lin Yuan's consciousness gradually awakened.
"Chang Er, you have a Spirit Root, even if it's just a triple Spirit Root, you can cultivate on the Immortal Path. Why fixate on Martial Tao?"
The original owner's father, named 'Lin Jianping,' started the Lin Family from scratch and is considered a model of success in Xianyao City.
With more than ten branches of the Lin family business in Xianyao City, Lin Jianping was well-informed and knew the advantages of the Immortal Cultivation System were far superior to Martial Tao.
Beyond the Xuanwang Domain, among the three thousand Dao states, the real stage is occupied by those proud children who cultivate the Immortal Cultivation System.
Lin Jianping didn't have high hopes for his son, but at the very least, he didn't want him to suffer through Martial Tao.
Practicing Martial Tao requires physical and Body Refining, and the torment suffered is definitely greater than that of cultivating on the Immortal Path.
"I like Martial Tao."
Lin Yuan said casually.
This was also the original owner's thought.
Now that Lin Yuan's consciousness had awakened, he had no doubts about cultivating Martial Tao.
As for the Immortal Path? It could indeed be of reference later on, but his foundation would definitely remain in Martial Tao.
"You like Martial Tao?"
Lin Jianping was somewhat worried.
His son was good at everything and had been extremely sensible since he was a child, but he was very stubborn. Once he decided on something, no one could pull him back.
Most of those who practiced Martial Tao did so because they either had no Spirit Root or their Spirit Root quality was too low, and they had no choice but to choose Martial Tao.
But Lin Yuan? Though the triple Spirit Root talent was not strong, it wasn't weak either. With a bit of luck, he might well step into the Golden Core Stage.
"A-Da."
Lin Jianping raised his right hand, and suddenly a figure emerged from the shadows.
"Take some of those century-old, millennium-old Blood Spirit Ganoderma, White Jade Ginseng, and other Spiritual Medicines from the various branches, and give them to Chang Er for cultivation."
In the early stages of Martial Tao cultivation, the primary focus is on forging the body and blood, and this stage can actually be shortened through external means.
"Yes."
The figure named 'A-Da' bowed slightly.
"A-Da?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the figure standing behind Lin Jianping.
"Third Rank of Martial Tao?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
In Xianyao City, the number of Martial Tao Cultivators is the greatest. Although Lin Jianping is reluctant to have his own son practice Martial Tao,
in fact, compared to the Immortal Path, the Martial Tao Cultivation System still has a significant influence in the Xuanwang Domain.
After all, it has produced several Seventh Stage Martial Taoists who can be considered on par with Unity Realm True Immortals.
Lin Jianping was worried that his son might neither understand Martial Tao cultivation completely, nor ruin his health by practising incorrectly.
"Son, ponder on your Martial Tao well. Your father will find you a master in the next few days," Lin Jianping patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder, then left with the beautiful woman.
"Find a master?"
Lin Yuan thought about it and decided not to refuse.
Given the previous instance where he fainted from training too hard, if he were to refuse again, it would probably cause his parents to worry.
...
Lin Jianping brought the beautiful woman to a grand hall.
The beautiful woman, Shen Zhen, gave Lin Jianping a sideways glance, "What kind of master do you intend to find for Chang Er?"
In Xianyao City, although Martial Tao Cultivators are as plentiful as carps crossing the river, true Martial Tao experts are scarce; those of the Fourth Stage and above can be counted on one's fingers.
"If my son, Lin Jianping, wishes to practice Martial Tao, he must certainly have the best,"
After contemplation, Lin Jianping made a decision, "I plan to send Chang Er to the Martial Temple to experience the 'Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance'."
"Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance?"
Shen Zhen blinked, then quickly realized, "Alright, Old Lin, are you really willing to part with that much?"
Undoubtedly, the place where Martial Tao Cultivators are most concentrated in the whole of Xianyao City is the Martial Temple.
As the foundation for Martial Tao Cultivators, the few Seventh Stage Martial Tao experts who established the Martial Temple intended to ensure the continuation of the Martial Tao Cultivation System legacy and specially left behind several streaks of Divine Radiance.
These streaks of Divine Radiance expound on the essence of Martial Tao as understood by this group of Seventh Stage Martial Taoists, which is also associated with the mysterious Martial Ancestor.
Hence, it is known as the Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance.
The Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance serves two purposes: one is to let the experiencer closely feel the essence understood by the Seventh Stage Martial Taoists.
The second is to determine which aspect of the Martial Tao Cultivation System the experiencer specializes in.
Especially the first purpose, it's equivalent to receiving indirect guidance from those few Seventh Stage Martial Tao experts.
Seventh Stage Martial Tao experts, shoulder to shoulder with Unity Realm True Immortals, stand as significant figures overlooking the Xuanwang Domain at this level, regardless of whether they are cultivators of the Immortal Path or not.
Of course,
to enter the Martial Temple,
and comprehend the Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance, one must either possess astonishing talent to get the temple's attention, or otherwise, one has to find a back door.
So-called backdoor entry essentially means paying an extra price to get the chance to follow behind a disciple with astonishing Martial Talent, to also experience the radiance.
To get a share of the remaining Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance left by others.
Still, with the Lin Family's scale, for Lin Yuan to experience the Martial Ancestor's Divine Radiance even once would probably cost the family a significant portion of their wealth.
This is still with the Lin Family having established roots in Xianyao City for many years; otherwise, outside forces would not even have the opportunity to find a back door.

[Divine Power: Blood Resurrection]
[Current Status: Consciousness Descent]
[Remaining Residence Time: Nine Hundred Twenty Years]
...
In the room.
Lin Yuan glanced at the ethereal characters in the bottom left corner of his vision.
"This stay is for nine hundred and twenty years?"
Lin Yuan was quite satisfied in his heart; such a long time should be enough to nearly establish the Eighth Stage Martial Tao.
"I'm still too weak now; to recover to the Eighth Layer level, I'll need a substantial amount of resources."
Lin Yuan grabbed a large half-millennium Ganoderma and swallowed it, his body quickly absorbing the surging essence.
"From the First to Sixth Rank, there's no need to worry, but the Sixth Rank Peak? Seventh Rank? That requires creating an Inner World, and for that, I must rely on a great amount of resources."
In the Main World, Lin Yuan had used countless tons of 'Scarlet Spirit Liquid' to create his Inner World.
"Forget it."
"Let's take it one step at a time."
Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and continued his cultivation.
