706: Daoge, bestowing treasures (3k)

As King Tianluo finished speaking, before Lin Yang could reply, several figures suddenly appeared.

It was King Kuiling, King Muyu, and others.

They also looked at Lin Yang and King Tianluo, hoping for a public battle.

Seeing this, King Tianluo was the first to say, "Then let's make it public."

"Alright." Lin Yang had no objections.

Whether it was public or not made no difference to him.

Soon, the two stood opposite each other in a trial arena.

The outer perimeter of the arena was filled with a large audience.

Lin Yang did not charge any fees.

Everyone was a human cultivator, and if they could gain something from watching his battle with King Tianluo, their strength against the Foreign race would be greater.

He possessed that much breadth of mind.

King Tianluo naturally had nothing more to say.

He only sought to battle Lin Yang.

"King Tianluo, if you're ready, let's begin."

Lin Yang asked indifferently, looking at King Tianluo, who was constantly adjusting his breathing.

"Let's begin." King Tianluo's eyes blazed.

Chii.

The next instant, Lin Yang thrust his spear without hesitation.

At the same time, the Sky Tremor Bell smashed towards him.

"This spear technique..."

King Tianluo's brows furrowed, sensing something extraordinary, then he countered with a backhand.

Boom boom boom.

The Dao powers of the two collided, shaking the void.

Lin Yang continuously attacked with his spear, putting immense pressure on King Tianluo.

King Tianluo, however, was full of joy: "King Lin Yang, your strength is indeed terrifying!"

The stronger Lin Yang was, the greater the pressure on him, and the more he could gain!

Lin Yang smiled and said nothing.

The onlookers were all extremely astonished.

Because, from the start of the battle, King Tianluo was completely suppressed.

Although they all knew Lin Yang was very strong, King Tianluo was, after all, an existence close to the ultimate level, yet he was suppressed by Lin Yang in every aspect, which was astonishing.

The two continued to fight.

The more they fought, the greater the pressure on King Tianluo, and the more shocked he became: "King Lin Yang, as far as I know, you still have another technique, that colorful flower, why don't you use it?"

He was very clear about Lin Yang's battle with the Foreign race at that time.

The power of the World-in-a-Flower was terrifying, but Lin Yang had never used it against him, which puzzled King Tianluo.

Lin Yang said indifferently: "If I use my full power, you will be defeated instantly. Are you sure?"

Hearing this, King Tianluo did not think Lin Yang was arrogant, as he had when Lin Yang previously said he was no match, but instead nodded and said:

"Then please, King Lin Yang, go all out just this once. Let me experience the strongest power, please!"

From the start of the battle, he had been suppressed by Lin Yang, so he knew Lin Yang hadn't been boasting earlier.

He was destined to lose this battle.

Therefore, he now wanted to fully experience Lin Yang's strongest power.

"Alright."

Lin Yang agreed to King Tianluo's request.

The World-in-a-Flower instantly condensed and enveloped King Tianluo.

The Silver Dragon Spear also instantly thrust out ten thousand times again.

He used his full power.

"This, this power..."

King Tianluo's expression instantly changed.

He knew the power of Lin Yang's flower technique, but when he truly faced it himself, he was still startled.

Boom.

The power of the World-in-a-Flower struck King Tianluo.

The Silver Dragon Spear also hovered three inches from King Tianluo's glabella.

"Pfft..."

King Tianluo immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I lost."

The next moment, King Tianluo spoke with a complex emotion.

After the battle began, he knew he was no match for Lin Yang.

However, he had not expected that when Lin Yang truly went all out, he would lose so decisively.

No, it wasn't just a defeat!

If this had not just been a spar, he would probably be dead by now.

The Silver Dragon Spear hovering in front of his glabella only needed to advance a little further to pierce his head.

And he would have found it difficult to resist.

"King Tianluo lost just like that??"

"King Lin Yang is this strong?"

The onlookers also looked at each other in dismay.

The great battle they had imagined did not occur; instead, King Tianluo was defeated by Lin Yang with overwhelming force in an incredibly decisive manner.

This left everyone somewhat speechless.

King Tianluo's mood was also very complex.

Before the battle began, he had thought he could at least contend with Lin Yang for a while, but he never expected that once Lin Yang truly went all out, he would have virtually no chance of resisting.

"King Lin Yang, your strength is truly worthy of being called the unrivaled King beneath the Dao Above. For us to also be called kings is truly laughable."

King Tianluo seemed a bit disheartened, saying softly, but he quickly adjusted his mood and laughed:

"Still, I must thank Your Excellency Lin Yang. Although I lost quickly in this battle, I did gain quite a few insights."

"Then congratulations to you." Lin Yang said, as he himself had gained no insights.

King Tianluo laughed heartily, then transmitted his voice: "Now I'll tell you the guidance King Baoning gave me after his breakthrough. He only said one sentence: 'Approach the Dao, integrate with the Dao, transcend the Dao.'"

"Approach the Dao, integrate with the Dao, transcend the Dao?" Lin Yang repeated, deep in thought.

"Yes." King Tianluo nodded, then added: "Besides that, King Baoning also said that everyone's situation is different, so this might not apply to me, and therefore, it might not apply to you either."

"Understood, thank you." Lin Yang also expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome, I'll go into seclusion now." King Tianluo said and left.

Lin Yang also turned and departed.

The onlookers, however, still felt somewhat unfulfilled.

Lin Yang returned to his residence and once again pondered the words King Tianluo had spoken.

Approach, integrate, transcend.

After much thought, Lin Yang still had no very concrete ideas.

"I should first try the Asking Dao Pavilion. My current strength is enough to clear all ninety-nine floors."

Lin Yang adjusted his state and headed back to the Asking Dao Pavilion.

Completing the ninety-nine trials would also grant him guidance from a Dao Above existence, which might provide a clear direction.

On the way, people saw Lin Yang going to the Asking Dao Pavilion and began to pay attention again.

However, it did not cause much discussion.

After all, with Lin Yang's current strength, completing the ninety-nine trials would be no surprise.

And indeed, it was so.

This time, Lin Yang cleared all obstacles, reaching the ninety-ninth floor and completing its trial.

"Trial participant Lin Yang, congratulations on completing all trials of the Asking Dao Pavilion. You will receive guidance. Please wait where you are."

At the moment the trial was completed, a voice sounded.

While waiting, Lin Yang did not waste time. He used all his accumulated points to exchange for various resources that promoted cultivation.

Not long after.

A deep voice rang out:

"Lin Yang, my name is Qing Yuan, and I am your trial guide this time. You may ask me one question about cultivation."

Lin Yang immediately bowed to the void: "Greetings, Daoist Master Qing Yuan. This junior wishes to know the path to the Dao Above."

Daoist Master was an honorific for the great beings of the Dao Above.

"Lin Yang, this venerable one has reviewed your trials. Your strength has reached the limit beneath the Dao Above. No one in the entire Wind Shadow Time-Space Domain is stronger than you, and very few can reach this level."

Daoist Master Qing Yuan's voice continued:

"Therefore, regarding your situation, this venerable one believes you can try to break through with force."

"Break through with force?" Lin Yang's heart stirred. "May I ask what Your Excellency means?"

"Your power is extremely strong. Continue to increase your power, and perhaps you can break through the shackles of High-Level Spacetime and see the path to the Dao Above." Daoist Master Qing Yuan said directly.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Lin Yang bowed.

"You're welcome, Lin Yang. I have high hopes for you and look forward to your breakthrough soon."

Daoist Master Qing Yuan smiled, and without waiting for Lin Yang to reply, he continued:

"I observe that while your spear artifact is good, its grade is still a bit low. Coincidentally, I have a spear artifact here that is better than a Supreme Grade Dao Weapon. I shall bestow it upon you today. I hope you can break through soon."

As he finished speaking, Lin Yang felt a powerful fluctuation coming from a distant place, and then a long spear suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"This is..."

Lin Yang was momentarily stunned.

He was actually bestowed an artifact?

And it was an artifact better than a Supreme Grade Dao Weapon!

Lin Yang's heart stirred greatly, and he immediately said, "Many thanks for Your Excellency's gift."

"Hahaha, break through soon." Daoist Master Qing Yuan laughed heartily, and his voice and aura completely disappeared.

Lin Yang bowed again, looking at the long spear in front of him that exuded an extraordinary aura. With a thought, the spear's color also turned silver.

"Still called the Silver Dragon Spear!"

Lin Yang held the new Silver Dragon Spear and felt that this spear was indeed much more extraordinary than the Sky Tremor Bell.

"With this spear, my strength can increase by at least another thirty percent!"

After a brief sensation, Lin Yang was greatly shocked.

He had already reached the limit beneath the Dao Above in the conventional sense.

Yet, a single long spear could increase his strength by thirty percent.

This was already terrifying.

"That Daoist Master Qing Yuan said he had high hopes for me, and he really wasn't just saying it casually. He was truly willing to bestow a treasure!"

Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

Afterward, he walked out of the Asking Dao Pavilion.

Now, he had Daoist Master Qing Yuan's guidance, the new Silver Dragon Spear, and King Baoning's breakthrough insights.

He already had a vague sense of the direction for his breakthrough.

Then Lin Yang returned to High-Level Spacetime and returned the old Silver Dragon Spear to Lanlou Country.

The old spear itself had been given to him by Lanlou Country years ago.

When they learned that Lin Yang's reason for returning the spear was that he had received a treasure from a Daoist Master, the Lord of Lanlou and others were all incredibly astonished.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, you actually received a treasure from a Daoist Master??"

"And it's an artifact better than a Supreme Grade Dao Weapon?!"

The Lord of Lanlou was extremely shocked; he had never heard of such a thing.

"Yes."

Lin Yang straightforwardly took out the spear for the Lord of Lanlou and Heavenly Balance to admire.

"It truly is a treasure! This is probably a Venerable Grade Dao Weapon."

The Lord of Lanlou's eyes were filled with envy.

Dao Weapons were divided into Ordinary Dao Weapons, Supreme Grade Dao Weapons, and Venerable Grade Dao Weapons.

Venerable Grade Dao Weapons, as the name suggested, could only be refined and used by Daoist Master-level powerhouses of the Dao Above.

Such artifacts were almost nonexistent in High-Level Spacetime.

Any single one could be used to protect a country.

"That Daoist Master Qing Yuan truly values Your Excellency Lin Yang highly. The treasure he casually bestowed is actually a Venerable Grade Dao Weapon."

The Lord of Lanlou was very envious:

"As far as I know, not every great being of the Dao Above can refine Venerable Grade Dao Weapons. You've gained an immense advantage this time."

"It's that precious?" Lin Yang looked at the new Silver Dragon Spear, once again surprised.

He didn't know much about it. (End of chapter)
