77: The Seven Sages went into seclusion, reached the peak of reincarnation, and their successors entered the world.

Flying towards Lin Hao was a strange jade stone, entirely crystalline, with countless tiny Sword Shadows seemingly appearing and disappearing within it—the “Myriad Sword Soul Crystal."

This object was formed by the condensation of a great ancient Sword Cultivator's Sword Intent and Soul Power after their passing. It possesses unparalleled efficacy in refining the Sword Soul and enhancing Sword Dao comprehension.

Lin Hao took the Soul Crystal and instantly felt his Sword Soul emit a buzzing sound of desire. He carefully put it away: "Thank you, Revered Master!"

Flying towards Ye Chen was a dark red blood bead, heavy as a mountain and emitting a savage aura—the “Ancient Divine Demon Essence Blood."

This item contains the purest Origin of power, offering unimaginable benefits for refining the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body and boosting vitality.

Ye Chen felt the terrifying power contained within the blood bead, and his eyes immediately lit up. He grinned and said, "Thank you, Old Ancestor! This thing packs a punch!"

Flying towards Lin Yun was a scroll that looked ancient but was woven from starlight—the “Star Ancient Scroll."

It records ancient methods for drawing in the Star Power of the Zhou Tian, condensing the Star Origin, and even glimpsing the Origin of Star Law, perfectly matching his Star Heavy Pupils.

Lin Yun accepted the ancient scroll, and the flow of the star river within his Heavy Pupils accelerated. He bowed deeply: "Thank you, Revered Master, for the technique."

Flying towards Phoenix Spirit was a gorgeous feather, shimmering with light and burning with eternal, undying flames—the “Phoenix Ancestral Feather."

This feather was infinitely more complete than the remnant feather she had previously obtained, containing a purer aura of the Phoenix Ancestor and fragments of its Legacy, which could greatly accelerate the Awakening and evolution of her Phoenix Undying Body.

Phoenix Spirit held the Ancestral Feather with her small hands, feeling the boiling and closeness of her Bloodline. Her small face was flushed with excitement: "Thank you, Revered Master!"

Flying towards Lin Feng was a rugged stone with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and inside it, ten thousand Dao trajectories seemed to constantly appear and disappear—the “Great Dao Origin Stone."

This stone is one of the fragments manifested by the Great Dao Law when the heavens and earth first opened. For the Innate Dao Body, it is a supreme treasure that can help them more clearly comprehend the Origin of the Myriad Dao, and even deduce their own unique "Dao" from it.

Lin Feng stroked the Origin Stone, sensing the vast Dao Rhyme contained within it. The clarity in his eyes intensified, and he bowed: "Thank you, Old Ancestor."

Flying towards Yang Yan and Moon Radiance were two masses of Qi flow intertwined in the shape of a Yin and Yang fish—the “Yin and Yang Chaos Qi."

This Qi is the residual Origin Qi from the beginning of creation, incredibly pure and containing good fortune. It is perfectly suited for the absorption and refinement by the Grand Yin and Grand Yang Divine Bodies, stabilizing their Yin and Yang Foundation, deepening their understanding of Chaos power, and even promoting the Divine Body's transformation to a higher level.

Yang Yan and Moon Radiance both felt the power in the Qi flow—which was homogeneous with their own but infinitely more vast and pure—and were overjoyed. They said in unison, "Thank you, Revered Master!"

"Go back now, enter seclusion and refine them. Do not emerge until you Break through."

Lin Dao commanded.

"Yes!"

The seven bowed again, and with excitement and anticipation, they withdrew from the Quiet Room, returning to their respective Cultivation Immortal Caves to begin seclusion for an unknown length of time.

After sending off the Seven Saint Sons, Lin Dao slowly closed his eyes.

"System, receive all the Cultivation feedback accumulated over these years."

[Ding! Beginning compilation and transmission of Host's accumulated Cultivation feedback...]

[Ding! Detected steady increase in Family Luck, rapid growth of the Seven Saint Sons, expansion of affiliated forces... Calculating comprehensive results...]

[Ding! Beginning transmission...]

Buzz—!!!

A surge of vast energy, far greater and purer than any previous instance, seemingly combining all the Lin Clan's development and Luck growth over the past few years, roared into Lin Dao's body like a river of stars bursting its banks!

His body seemed to turn into a bottomless pit, frantically devouring this feedback energy.

The barrier of Samsara Realm Third Level was breached almost instantly!

Samsara Realm Fourth Level!

Samsara Realm Fifth Level!

Samsara Realm Sixth Level!

His Cultivation surged at an astonishing speed!

It was not just an accumulation of quantity, but a qualitative leap!

His comprehension of the Reincarnation Law deepened, as if he could clearly see the flow of the River of Time and perceive the trajectory of sentient beings' Reincarnation.

The Minor Achievement Primordial Divine Demon Body within him also operated frantically. The dark golden Divine Demon Runes greedily absorbed the energy, becoming more condensed and complex, as if they were about to carve out a true Divine Demon World inside him!

Strength, defense, and resistance to the Myriad Laws were all increasing exponentially!

Samsara Realm Seventh Level!

Samsara Realm Eighth Level!

Samsara Realm Ninth Level!

The frantic surging speed finally slowed down only after reaching the Peak of Reincarnation Realm Ninth Level!

At this moment, Lin Dao felt that his power had reached an unprecedented Peak!

With every movement, he felt as if he could trigger the Law resonance of the entire Kyushu Continent!

His Divine Thought sweep was enough to cover almost half of Kyushu!

The surging power within him gave him the feeling that even if he faced the combined forces of those Peak Reincarnation Realm experts again, he wouldn't need to take them seriously as he did last time; he could suppress them with a flip of his hand!

He even touched a barrier that was more profound and transcendent—the threshold leading to the Xiaoyao Realm!

The beginning of transcending the restraints of this world and roaming the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms!

Although he had not truly Broken through yet, he had already seen the path ahead and accumulated sufficiently abundant capital.

Lin Dao slowly opened his eyes. Chaos and dark gold interwoven in his pupils, seemingly containing the ultimate truth of the Universe's creation and destruction.

"Next, I will quietly wait for the wind to rise."

...Just as the Seven Saints of the Lin Clan entered seclusion and Lin Dao kept a low profile, and the entire Lin Clan seemed to enter a dormant period, the younger generation of the Kyushu Continent ushered in an unprecedented "Great Era"!

Those ancient Saint-level Forces, and even the Emperor-level Factions that only existed in legends and were rumored to possess Xiaoyao Realm heritage, finally stopped concealing their true core Successors—who had been hidden for ages and nurtured with all their resources—and stepped into the world!

Instantly, everywhere across Kyushu, the situation became turbulent, and Prodigies arose simultaneously!

Central Province, outside the ancient battlefield "Land of Fallen Gods."

This place is filled with Evil Qi reaching the heavens, and the space is unstable. It was the battleground of ancient great experts, leaving behind countless incomplete Legacies and Divine Weapon fragments. It has always been a dangerous place where top Prodigies test their strength and seek Opportunity.

At this moment, several Geniuses who had originally been competing here—hailing from established Heaven-Grade Families and possessing Cultivation at Heavenly Soul Realm Fifth or Sixth Level—were gathered together in a sorry state, their faces showing fear and unwillingness, as they gazed at the area ahead shrouded in an even more terrifying aura.

There, two young figures were facing off.

One person wore Dark Combat Armor, held a Battle Halberd wreathed in black Dragon Qi, had a stern face, and contemptuous eyes. He exuded a brutal aura like that of a Primordial Vicious Beast, and his Cultivation had surprisingly reached the Peak of Heavenly Soul Realm Eighth Level!

He was the most outstanding Successor of this generation from the Saint-level Force "Battle King Hall"—Battle Vault!

"Battle Vault of the Battle King Hall... he's too strong!

Just now, that Heavenly Soul Realm Sixth Level expert from the Situ Family was severely injured by just three strikes of his halberd!"

"And that Genius from the Li Family who specializes in Formations, the Nine-Layer Killing Formation he set up was crushed directly by Battle Vault's Power Overcoming the Myriad Laws!"

Everyone discussed in low voices, their hearts still filled with lingering fear.

Facing Battle Vault was a young man dressed in a plain white Daoist Robe, holding a Horsetail Whisk. His appearance was ordinary, but his demeanor was transcendent.

His aura was peaceful, seeming to merge with the natural world, but upon closer inspection, one could detect a vast, abyss-like power contained within his body. His Cultivation was actually Heavenly Soul Realm Ninth Level!

He came from the other Saint-level Force, the Grand Supreme Dao Sect, and his Daoist Title was Mysterious Heaven Son.

"Fellow Daoist Battle Vault, although the Evil Qi here helps temper Battle Intent, excess is as bad as deficiency; it may harm your Dao Foundation. Why not cease fighting here and explore the Opportunities deeper inside together?"

Mysterious Heaven Son's voice was calm, carrying a power that soothed the mind.

Battle Vault snorted coldly, pointing his Battle Halberd: "Mysterious Heaven Son, stop being sanctimonious here!

You Grand Supreme Dao Sect people always like to play these tricks! You want me to stop?

Fine. If you can withstand ten of my halberd strikes without defeat, you can take seventy percent of the Opportunities here!"

Before his voice faded, Battle Vault brazenly attacked!

The Battle Halberd swung, like a black Dragon emerging from the sea, carrying terrifying Battle Intent capable of tearing the sky and destroying the Myriad Laws, striking directly at Mysterious Heaven Son!

Where the halberd light passed, the space was carved with dark cracks, and the Evil Qi retreated from it!

Facing this incredibly fierce halberd strike, Mysterious Heaven Son's expression remained unchanged. He simply waved the Horsetail Whisk in his hand gently.

"Grand Supreme Forgetfulness, Myriad Laws Cannot Invade."

A clear, water-like Dao light sprinkled out from the Horsetail Whisk. It seemed gentle but contained the supreme Dao Rhyme of dissolving all things and Returning to the Origin.

When the savage halberd light struck this Dao light, it was like ice meeting spring. Its power was weakened and decomposed layer by layer, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

"Interesting! Take another halberd strike from me, Raging Battle Across the Eight Desolations!"

Battle Vault's Battle Intent grew stronger. A massive phantom of an Ancient Battle King appeared behind him, merging with him. The power of the Battle Halberd increased several times, transforming into eight world-destroying halberd shadows that converged on Mysterious Heaven Son from all directions!

Mysterious Heaven Son stepped with profound footwork, his figure like a ghost, weaving through the gaps between the halberd shadows. Every time he waved his Horsetail Whisk, he precisely tapped the weakest point of the halberd shadow's power, deflecting and neutralizing it.

He actually managed to withstand the entirety of this savage attack in a manner that was almost "artistic"!

The intense battle between the two, with its grand momentum and clashing Laws, left the Prodigies watching from afar dazzled and captivated, yet simultaneously feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Is this the strength of the top Successors of a Saint-level Force... Before them, we were truly like frogs in a well..."

"Heavenly Soul Realm Eighth Level, Ninth Level... How are we supposed to compete with that?"

In the end, Battle Vault launched a fierce assault for a hundred moves but failed to harm Mysterious Heaven Son in the slightest. His own consumption was immense, while Mysterious Heaven Son remained composed.

Although Battle Vault was unwilling, he knew he couldn't defeat the opponent. He withdrew his halberd and stood, saying sullenly, "Hmph, you're good! The Opportunities here, we'll each rely on our own abilities!"

Mysterious Heaven Son smiled slightly and gently waved his Horsetail Whisk: "Good."
