346: Do you have no doubts about the practice?

Wan Lin was somewhat bewildered. He instinctively felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, he spoke up to refute, saying:

"Those are all external forces; they are merely utilizing the power of Yao Beasts and the Yao Race. My own strength remains weak.

"Once the control is severed, and the connection between the Great Yao and oneself is broken, wouldn't one immediately become useless?"

Throne Holder Helian did not get angry at these words; instead, he laughed heartily, saying:

"Our Yuyao Kingdom has lasted for ten thousand years. There have been those who could carry a divine sword and strike down a Throne Holder against the odds, and those who could bring monstrous waves to engulf a Yao Beast army, but there has never been anyone who could sever our Throne Holders' control over Yao Beasts.

"Wan Lin, do not underestimate the ten-thousand-year Legacy of my Yuyao Kingdom."

Wan Lin frowned. If it was truly as Throne Holder Helian said, and the methods of the Yuyao Kingdom had never been broken, then this indeed seemed to be an extraordinary method.

One must know that Yao Beasts and the Yao Race not only possess naturally powerful strength but also have long lifespans. A fully cultivated Great Yao can be passed down through generations, constantly growing stronger and accumulating power.

He could even imagine that a Mortal like him, once becoming an envoy of the Yuyao Kingdom, might immediately acquire a Great Yao of the Demon Body level, instantly becoming a strong individual with Fifth-Grade combat power.

The most terrifying thing was that this was not a Demonic Cultivation Method. Although it did not temper one's own Physical Body, it also did not diminish it. It could be said to be an extremely excellent rapid cultivation method.

"Moreover..."

At this, Throne Holder Helian continued, "Are the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Methods you cultivate truly about transforming great power into your own?"

Wan Lin was startled and asked in surprise, "How is it not?"

The Cultivation Systems currently displayed in the Xuanhuan World include the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao Lineage, Dou Qi Dao Lineage, Buddhist Cultivator Dao Lineage, and Demonic Cultivator Dao Lineage, these four major categories.

Players did not know much about Dou Qi and Demonic Cultivators, so they could not comment.

Buddhist Cultivators, however, were widely considered 'heterodox paths.' Including the famous player 'Mage,' Buddhist Cultivator players essentially carried the power of a higher-level being and constantly plundered the Karma power of others to seek advancement.

Many players of the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao Lineage scoffed at this.

Within the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao Lineage, although there were distinctions between Righteous and Evil, and between Human and Yao, overall, it indeed seemed to be the Dao Lineage that most emphasized individual cultivation.

Cultivators first needed to circulate their Cultivation Technique and absorb Spiritual Qi, gradually improving their Physique to be able to contain Spiritual Qi entering their body and transforming into spiritual power, thus entering the Qi Refining Realm.

Subsequently, they needed to further advance by refining Immortal Qi to achieve an Immortal Foundation. Later, they would elevate the Immortal Foundation into a Golden Core, and then shatter the Golden Core to form a Nascent Soul.

Each step was filled with immense hardship, but it also genuinely allowed Cultivators to grow stronger step by step. It was a grand and Righteous Path.

"Have you never doubted it?"

Throne Holder Helian's voice seemed inherently majestic, but in Wan Lin's ears, it seemed filled with mockery.

Was he mocking the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao?

"Since it is transforming external power into Internal Energy, then why can an Immortal Foundation be extracted separately, and even be taken by others to be used for cooking or Alchemy?

"Since it is achieving a Golden Core step by step, combining one's own comprehension with the resonance of Heaven and Earth to form a Golden Core, with one's entire cultivation freely controlled, then why, upon death, does one's lifelong insights transform into Clarity Qi and disperse?

"Tempering oneself? Polishing the Physical Body and Soul?

"After a Golden Core's death, anomalies arise, Spiritual Qi tides stir the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins, and one's lifelong cultivation can transform into Heaven And Earth Treasures, from which outsiders can all benefit; after a Demon Body's death, its Physical Body remains incorruptible for a thousand years, its fur becomes great medicine, its bones become spirit minerals, and its revitalized blood nourishes the earth, how many people wait to be satiated?

"If great power belongs to oneself, why does cultivation and insight disperse so easily?

"Have you truly never doubted the Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao?"

Wan Lin was startled.

Throne Holder Helian paused, then said, "I originally thought you were the only special one, which is why I wasted some words. Now I realize there are so many people like you. Tsk, Heaven does not wish for my Yuyao Kingdom to perish..."

The Throne Holder's phantom flickered, then quickly disappeared.

Clang!

The tightly shut great door of the spire suddenly opened, and the sunlight from outside shone in, falling diagonally on Wan Lin.

He was stunned for a moment, then chose to upload the information he had just obtained to the Immortal Dynasty System. He was then informed, "Please do not upload unconfirmed speculations."

"So that's how it is. Information spoken by others doesn't count?"

Wan Lin mused, thinking the Immortal Dynasty System was quite rigorous.

He also therefore felt that what Throne Holder Helian had said earlier was merely to disturb his mind and should not be taken seriously, nor did it need deep thought.

Shaking his head, he set the matter aside and looked towards the great door of the spire.

The door was already open, and he could leave at any time. It seemed Throne Holder Helian had not placed any restrictions on him.

Combining his final words, Wan Lin could roughly guess the other party's thoughts:

Originally, he thought Wan Lin was special, able to be unaffected by pressure, and thus definitely a talent worth cultivating, needing individual training.

But later, he discovered that there were too many 'players' like him, and they were like leeks, endless waves to be harvested.

So Throne Holder Helian lost interest in him, unwilling to waste time persuading him to become an envoy of the Throne Holder.

"So I can... leave now?"

Wan Lin suddenly felt a little lost.

He had originally thought he had triggered a hidden quest, and the powerful Throne Holder would personally take him as a disciple.

But it seemed that he had made a wrong choice during the conversation, and the exposure of the player group led to his quest failing?

As Wan Lin was thinking this, someone suddenly walked over to the entrance of the spire.

That person was dressed in simple sackcloth, in a servant's attire, with downcast eyes and a humble demeanor, clearly accustomed to subservience.

Wan Lin looked at him, frowning.

Because although the other party had the appearance of a Human Race, his fur was overly abundant, and there was clearly a long, fluffy tail behind his buttocks.

Yao Race? But he didn't look like one... Wan Lin was stunned, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you a human-yao hybrid?"

The newcomer merely lowered his head and nodded humbly: "To answer master, this humble one is indeed a human-yao hybrid."

The hybrid then said, "Master, please allow this humble one to guide you to tour the Yuyao Kingdom. This is the command of the Throne Holder's envoy."

Wan Lin was startled, then immediately understood.

The Throne Holder had indeed given up on him, but the envoys below still had to take responsibility for him, perhaps to make him change his view of the Yuyao Kingdom and sincerely accept the Legacy.

"Let's go, lead the way."

...In the northern mountain range.

Ma Dun (Who was hit by the durian) released his Demon Body, directly piercing through the snake demon's abdomen, and his powerful hand seized Yuwen Hong.

"I'm very curious, without your Demon Body, without external power, with your frail body, can you withstand the squeeze of my big hand? Perhaps you will die very painfully?"

Ma Dun (Who was hit by the durian) was filled with fiery red Qi waves, boiling with anger.

Pushed to a dead end, he had no choice but to use his precious transaction points to buy a one-time Medicinal Pill, temporarily restoring his strength.

These transaction points were originally saved to exchange for a powerful Golden Finger, but to waste them on a Medicinal Pill that players themselves could make made his anger surge uncontrollably.

What angered him even more was that Yuwen Hong, although already under control, still had a calm expression, and his gaze even carried... mockery?
