336: Chapter 336 The World of Ninth-Order Martial Artists

King Blood Axe continued: "After the Void Purple Thunder Bamboo was killed, it hasn't been discovered again for countless epochs."

"This might be the only creature of its kind born in the Universe; there is only this one, no second."

"Don't look at this information and think it's only Ninth-Rank."

"In reality, the Ninth-Rank is only a small part of the Void Purple Thunder Bamboo."

"The entire Void Purple Thunder Bamboo has hundreds of millions of stalks."

"Only a few hundred are Ninth-Rank."

"They are a whole, but each stalk has a different rank."

"Sixth-Rank, Seventh-Rank, Eighth-Rank, Ninth-Rank, they all exist."

Lin Yun suddenly understood.

So that was it.

No wonder King Blood Axe recommended this.

If it were a Ninth-Rank Void Purple Thunder Bamboo, he wouldn't be able to use it even if he got it now.

But the Void Purple Thunder Bamboo has Sixth-Rank and Seventh-Rank ones.

He only needs scraps; as long as he has the complete biological information, it's enough.

The Sixth-Rank and Seventh-Rank bamboo, although part of the whole organism, contain complete genetic information.

They can absolutely be used to gestate a Clone.

King Blood Axe looked at Lin Yun's expression and teased: "Otherwise, why would I recommend this to you?"

Lin Yun was truly moved.

King Blood Axe and King Feiyun could have easily let him choose one at random and sent him away.

But they didn't.

They proactively recommended the Void Purple Thunder Bamboo, a unique creature in this Universe.

He would remember this kindness.

Lin Yun stood up, walked in front of King Blood Axe and King Feiyun, and bowed 90 degrees.

"Thank you, Seniors."

His voice was sincere, without a hint of hypocrisy.

King Blood Axe waved his hand: "No need for courtesy. You are fighting for the Empire; this is what you deserve."

King Feiyun said: "Preparing well for the competition is the best thanks you can give us."

Lin Yun straightened up and said solemnly: "This Junior will definitely give it my all."

King Blood Axe and King Feiyun exchanged a glance, both seeing satisfaction in the other's eyes.

This young man is worth cultivating.

...

Soon, the Empire's personnel delivered the items.

A man in uniform walked respectfully into the living room, holding a Space Ring in both hands, and handed it to King Blood Axe.

King Blood Axe took the ring, scanned it with his Divine Thought, and nodded.

"You may go."

The man bowed and retreated.

King Blood Axe toyed with the Space Ring in his hand and looked at King Feiyun.

"I'll do it."

King Feiyun nodded.

The next second, the surrounding environment changed.

The living room disappeared, the sofa disappeared, the carpet disappeared, the walls disappeared.

Replacing them was an open wilderness.

The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the wind was light.

There were mountains in the distance, grass nearby, and soil underfoot.

The air was fresh, carrying the scent of soil and grass.

The sunlight was warm, spilling onto them, making one feel lazy.

Lin Yun and the others stood in the wilderness, looking around, their eyes full of shock.

"This is..." Su Yingxue opened her mouth, unable to speak.

"My world." King Blood Axe's voice rang out, low and calm.

The world of a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist.

A true world.

Not a Domain, not a projection, not the embryonic form of an Internal World.

But a complete, real world that can accommodate life.

Lin Yun was incredibly excited inside.

He felt the earth under his feet, felt the surrounding air, felt the mountains in the distance.

All of this was real.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every river here was evolved from King Blood Axe's world.

Life could survive and reproduce within it.

This is the Ninth-Rank.

He thought of his Diyang Giant Beast Clone.

Seventh-Rank, it has an Internal World, but it is entirely full of violent fire elements.

The temperature is frighteningly high, the pressure is frighteningly great, and turbulent energy rages.

Let alone ordinary creatures, even a Third or Fourth-Rank Martial Artist wouldn't survive a second if they went in.

Even if he promotes to Eighth-Rank in the future, nothing will change.

The essence of the Internal World won't change; it will still be a world of elements, violent, chaotic, and unsuitable for survival.

Only at the Ninth-Rank will the Internal World evolve into a true world.

The elements balance out, the Law is perfected, and life is born.

Only then can the world be considered a true world.

Lin Yun released his Divine Thought, sensing every detail of this world.

This was his first time entering the world of a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist.

The shock was indescribable.

King Blood Axe didn't disturb him, just waited quietly.

King Feiyun didn't speak either.

Ziyi also stood quietly to the side.

They were both Ninth-Rank and Eighth-Rank powerhouses; they were already accustomed to worlds.

They understood Lin Yun's shock.

Everyone who enters a Ninth-Rank world for the first time has this expression.

...

When Lin Yun came to his senses, King Blood Axe spoke.

"Watch closely."

He waved his hand.

The items from the Space Ring appeared in the wilderness.

Four bamboo stalks.

The largest one was entirely purple, towering into the clouds, estimated to be over a thousand meters tall.

The bamboo body was thick, requiring dozens of people to wrap their arms around it.

The nodes were distinct, with lightning flickering on each one.

The bamboo leaves were long and slender, dense, blocking out the sky and sun.

The entire bamboo stalk exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, making people shiver.

The other three were much smaller.

Each was only a hundred meters tall, the bamboo bodies much thinner, and the lightning much weaker.

But that ancient and mysterious aura still existed.

The four bamboo stalks floated in the wilderness, lifeless.

No vitality, no vigor.

They were already dead.

But their bodies were still complete, the structure was not destroyed, and the genetic information was intact.

Lin Yun looked at these four bamboo stalks, his eyes wide.

King Blood Axe said: "Afraid you wouldn't have enough, I had them send four. One Seventh-Rank, three Sixth-Rank."

Lin Yun was moved to the point of speechlessness.

He only needed a small part of the branches and leaves.

A small part, with complete biological information, would have been enough.

But King Blood Axe and the others actually sent four complete bamboo stalks.

One Seventh-Rank, three Sixth-Rank.

This far exceeded his expectations.

Lin Yun didn't know what to say, could only thank them again.

90-degree bow.

Expressing his emotion through action.

"Thank you, Seniors."

King Blood Axe waved his hand, his tone casual: "Don't worry about it. There's plenty of this stuff in the treasury."

He paused, then explained:

"Low-rank Void Purple Thunder Bamboo isn't very useful. It can be used when crafting Origin equipment with lightning and wood elements. Other than that, it doesn't have much use. It can't even be used for Alchemy."

King Feiyun: "So there's quite a lot piled up in the treasury. If you take four, no one will care."

Lin Yun felt moved, said nothing more.

He would keep this kindness in his heart and repay it when he had the chance.

King Feiyun looked at him and suggested: "Check it carefully to see if you're satisfied. If the quality isn't to your liking, we can still change it."

Lin Yun was already ten thousand percent satisfied.

But he still followed King Feiyun's suggestion, released his Divine Thought, and probed the four Void Purple Thunder Bamboo stalks.

As soon as his Divine Thought touched the bamboo, an ancient aura rushed toward him.

That aura was like it came from the era when the Universe first opened, vicissitudinous, vast, and profound.

Lin Yun's Divine Thought wandered inside the bamboo, feeling its structure, its texture, its genetic information.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he was.
