101: The ancient road was opened after one year.

Meanwhile, in the outside world of the Nine Provinces.

Having experienced the shock of Lin Dao coming to "collect" resources and flicking his finger to destroy a Saint Realm Clone, all Saint-level Forces had become completely obedient.

Forces like Zixiao Heaven and Nine Nether Mansion, which had seven-tenths of their resources collected, although they were in extreme pain, could only swallow their teeth along with the blood, Seal their mountain gates, and fully contract their sphere of influence, fearing to attract Lin Dao's attention again.

They began to crazily dig out their remaining heritage, tightening their belts, and tilted resources toward Core Disciples, hoping to Cultivate strong individuals as soon as possible, in hopes of not being completely helpless in the future changes.

Those forces that had not been "visited" by Lin Dao were even more terrified, one after another issuing orders strictly forbidding any Disciples or members from going out to cause trouble, especially not to have any conflict with the Lin Clan.

The entire cultivation world of the Nine Provinces presented a kind of eerie calm, and all disputes and frictions temporarily subsided.

They also began to emulate the Lin Clan, concentrating resources, opening various Secret Realms and Formations, sparing no cost to improve their core strength.

The entire Nine Provinces continent was like a war machine about to be wound up, silently and crazily accumulating power.

Time, in this rhythm that was completely different inside and outside, quietly passed.

One month in the outside world, nearly a hundred years inside the Lin Clan Small World's Time Tower.

Lin Hao successfully broke through to the Samsara Realm First Level!

His Sword Intent was pure, capable of slaying Samsara!

Ye Chen stepped into the Samsara Realm Second Level!

The power of his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was beginning to show, his blood and Qi shaking the Void Realm!

Lin Yun reached the Samsara Realm First Level!

His Star Domain with Double Pupils tended toward stability, grasping the authority of the stars!

Phoenix Spirit reached the Peak of Spirit Tribulation Realm Ninth Level!

Her Phoenix Flame carried true immortal characteristics!

Lin Feng reached the Samsara Realm First Level!

The prototype of his Dao domain was formed, with all Laws following him!

Yang Yan and Moon Radiance both reached the Spirit Tribulation Realm Ninth Level!

Their Chaos Yin and Yang Body was approaching Major Achievement!

Lin Zhan reached the Dao Tribulation Realm Seventh Level!

His Azure Dragon combat technique was fierce and peerless!

Lin Yao reached the Dao Tribulation Realm Fifth Level!

His Alchemy skills were superb!

The overall strength of the rest of the Lin Clan Disciples also underwent earth-shaking changes.

The number of experts in the Nirvana Realm and Samsara Realm increased significantly, and talents emerged in the younger generation.

Lin Dao sat in the deepest part of the Time Tower, while stabilizing his own cultivation at the Saint Realm Fifth Level, he divided his Divine Thought to pay attention to the progress of his clansmen, while simultaneously deducing the changes in the Seal of the Ancient Road gate.

One year of time, passed in a flash.

When the tightly closed gate of the Time Tower in the Lin Clan Small World suddenly opened, strands of majestic Auras that had been suppressed for "a thousand years," like a Vicious Beast that had slept for eternity waking up, rushed into the sky!

The first to step out was Lin Hao.

He was still in his green shirt, but the Sword Intent around him had already been restrained to the extreme; when his eyes opened and closed, scenes of Reincarnation life and death seemed to flow.

His Aura was as vast as the sea, unfathomable, and had impressively reached the Peak of Reincarnation Realm Ninth Level!

Only one Opportunity was missing to step into the Xiaoyao Realm!

Immediately after, Ye Chen strode out, his blood and Qi like a tangible furnace, every step making the Void Realm tremble slightly.

His Ancient Desolate Sacred Body was further awakened, his power penetrated his whole body, and his cultivation had also stood at the Peak of Reincarnation Realm Ninth Level!

Lin Yun, Phoenix Spirit, Lin Feng, Yang Yan, and Moon Radiance followed closely behind.

The Star Domain in Lin Yun's Double Pupils operated stably, as if controlling a real starry sky;

Phoenix Spirit's appearance was even more beautiful, with immortal Phoenix Flame dancing in her eyes;

Lin Feng's Dao charm was natural, close to all Laws;

Yang Yan and Moon Radiance's Yin and Yang Qi were flawless, with Chaos implications flowing.

All five of their cultivations had reached the Peak of Reincarnation Realm Ninth Level without exception!

The Seven Saints of the Lin Clan were all at the Peak of the Samsara Realm!

This was just the beginning.

Behind them, Lin Zhan was draped in an Azure Dragon phantom, his Battle Intent fierce, his cultivation at the Samsara Realm Eighth Level!

Lin Yao's body was surrounded by medicinal fragrance that turned into tangible Spiritual Qi clouds, his cultivation at the Samsara Realm Seventh Level!

One by one, the owners of Sacred Bodies and Divine Bodies who had awakened or grown up during this "thousand years" came out of seclusion, and even the lowest Aura had reached above the Samsara Realm Third Level!

And the group of clan elders led by Acting Clan Head had undergone a qualitative leap!

Their accumulation was deep, and under the thousand years of hard cultivation in the Time Tower and the pile of massive resources, they had broken through their past shackles one after another.

Acting Clan Head's Aura was ethereal, surrounded by Law runes, and he had impressively stepped into the Carefree Realm Second Level!

The other Core Disciples who were clan elders also had many Breakthroughs, and nearly ten appeared at the Carefree Realm First Level!

The number of clan elders in the Nirvana Realm and Samsara Realm had more than doubled!

The overall strength of the entire Lin Clan was more than a hundred times stronger than a year ago!

There were more than a dozen Carefree Realm experts on the surface alone!

There were hundreds of Samsara Realm experts!

This was a terrifying force capable of sweeping across all the forces in the Nine Provinces!

However, the source of all this, Lin Dao, finally walked out of the tower slowly.

He was still the same plain person, with no oppressive Aura leaking from his body.

But if a great power were here, they would be shocked to find that he seemed to have completely merged with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Void Realm; he was the Dao, and the Dao was him.

His Realm, in this year of quiet cultivation and enlightenment, had quietly crossed a huge chasm from the Saint Realm Fifth Level and stepped into the Saint King Realm First Level!

This was a Breakthrough achieved purely through his own Comprehension Ability and accumulation, without utilizing the System's feedback.

Just as the Lin Clan members came out of seclusion, feeling the earth-shaking changes in themselves—

Rumble!!!

From the Heavenly Abyss in the extreme south of the Nine Provinces came a roar countless times more violent than a year ago!

The seven-colored Seal flowing on that broken dark golden stone gate was like shattered glass, cracking and dissipating inch by inch!

The gate opened!

Hum—!!!

An indescribable, vast Aura originating from the Origin of the Universe surged out from behind the gate like a tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire Nine Provinces continent and rapidly spreading to the surrounding Star Domains!

The sky was dyed a magnificent seven-colored hue, countless Dao golden lotuses emerged out of thin air, the Dragon Qi of the earth veins roared out of the surface, turning into tangible golden Dragon phantoms swirling around!

The concentration of Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth climbed crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye; areas that were originally thin instantly turned into Spiritual liquid swamps, and places that were already dense condensed into Spiritual crystals!

More importantly, the originally incomplete and fragile Heaven and Earth Laws of the Nine Provinces continent were supplemented and repaired by higher-level worlds at this moment, rapidly becoming complete and solid!

Many cultivation barriers that had plagued the Cultivators of this world for eternity became loose or even disappeared at this moment!

Under the baptism of this rule and the infusion of Spiritual Qi sweeping the world, the cultivation Bottleneck of the Seven Saints of the Lin Clan, who had just come out of seclusion, shattered with a boom!

Sword Qi soared into the sky around Lin Hao, triggering the Perfection of the Reincarnation Law, and he stepped into the Carefree Realm First Level in one step!

Ye Chen's blood and Qi penetrated the sky, breaking the shackles of the extreme of power, achieving the Carefree Realm First Level!

Lin Yun, Phoenix Spirit, Lin Feng, Yang Yan, and Moon Radiance also triggered their respective star, fire, all-Laws, and Yin and Yang Laws, their Auras skyrocketing, and they all stepped into the Carefree Realm First Level!

It was not just them; within the Lin Clan, all the Disciples who had reached the Peak of the Samsara Realm, driven by this great change in Heaven and Earth, actually had more than thirty people successfully cross the Xiaoyao Great Tribulation and step into the Xiaoyao Realm!

The rest of the clansmen also improved their cultivation more or less, and there were countless people who broke through small Realms!

The same situation happened in other forces in the Nine Provinces.

Those old monsters who were originally stuck at the Peak of the Xiaoyao Realm and suffering from the restrictions of the Heaven and Earth Laws were unable to break through, and at this moment, they looked up to the sky and roared, triggering the Saint Realm Heavenly Tribulation!

Although the Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying, with the support of the perfected Heaven and Earth Laws, no fewer than ten old monsters successfully crossed it, and their Auras transformed into the Saint Realm First Level!

The high-end combat power of the entire Nine Provinces was instantly raised by a large level!

However, this Opportunity and transformation bestowed by Heaven and Earth did not last long.

Everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the gate opened in the Heavenly Abyss.

I saw that behind the gate, it was no longer darkness and Chaos, but a magnificent world scene of brilliant and boundless starry rivers hanging upside down!

Immediately after, a terrifying pressure, ten times and a hundred times stronger than the newly broken through Saint Realm, came pressing down from behind the gate like an ancient Divine Mountain!

The first to step out was a huge army.

They were riding Nether Nightmare Beasts covered in bone armor, the soldiers were surrounded by Death Qi, and the leading general's Aura had impressively reached the Peak of the Saint Realm!

The banners were unfurled, inscribed with the ancient "Nether" divine script!

The army of the Netherworld Hells arrived first!

Following closely were ancient chariots burning with golden divine fire, on which stood Divine Generals wearing gold armor with a heat as scorching as a star, their pressure combined, not inferior to the Nether army.

This was the vanguard of the Ancient God Heavenly Domain!

In the east, Sword Qi tore through the sky, and a giant sword-shaped building ship slowly sailed out. At the bow of the ship, an old man holding a sword lowered his eyelids, but his Aura made the newly broken through Saint Realm experts feel palpitations—Saint King Realm!

Experts from the Limitless Sword Sect!

In the west, Buddha light shone, Sanskrit singing shook the sky, golden Arhats and Bodhisattva phantoms appeared, surrounding a nine-grade lotus platform. On the lotus platform sat a compassionate Buddha, whose Aura was also the Saint King Realm!

Buddha Cultivators from the Great Brahma Pure Land!

In the north, Demonic Qi swept across the galaxy, and several ancient great demons with bodies as large as stars manifested their true forms. Their roars shattered meteorites. The leader was a nine-headed giant lion, whose Aura was fierce and monstrous, also reaching the Saint King Realm!

Overlords of the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestral Court!

In the south, immortal music was ethereal, palaces stood in great numbers, and a group of peerless Fairies drove auspicious clouds out. The leader was a beautiful woman in palace attire, whose Aura was cold and noble, and the Saint King Realm pressure permeated.

Envoys from the Yaoguang Immortal Domain!

...

One by one, powerful Auras, one by one, terrifying existences, stepped out from the gate of the Ancient Road like a revolving lantern, descending over the Nine Provinces!

In a short time, more than a hundred Saint Realm experts had descended!

There were also more than a dozen Saint King Realm experts!

Their pressure combined, making the Nine Provinces Heaven and Earth, which had just experienced the Spiritual Qi recovery and rule Perfection, tremble violently again, as if it could not bear the sudden arrival of so many strong people.

These Ancient Great Clans and supreme Dao traditions from the core of the Universe, their eyes scanned this "Ancestral Land" with coldness, greed, curiosity, or indifference. Finally, many powerful Divine Thoughts cast their gaze simultaneously on the area where the Luck was most prosperous and the Aura of the strong was most concentrated—Qingzhou, the Lin Clan Small World!
