Chapter 472: The Tremor of the Ziwei Star Domain
Heaven and Earth are undergoing changes.
The intense disturbance has caused countless beings in the Ziwei Star Domain to watch and wait.
Both the Haoge Sect Founder and the Xuan You Sect Founder, who were in seclusion, were awakened by this scene.
"The rules of Heaven and Earth are shifting."
Chang Haoge, startled, asked, "Is this an anomaly caused by the Mediating Creation Method?"
As the incumbent Sect Founder of the Purple Star Emperor Sect, hailed as the strongest aspiring Immortal today, Chang Haoge has naturally cultivated two supreme arts.
But both stopped at a very superficial level.
Neither can be considered as having entered the path.
At most, they have only stood outside the gate and taken a glance inside.
"It seems Yang Zu has already elevated the Mediating Creation Method to a very high level; truly worthy of Yang Zu."
Even though he is praised as the strongest aspiring Immortal of this era, he still holds Yang Zu in great respect.
Not only because Yang Zu is one of the foundational lineages of the Purple Star Emperor Sect.
But also as recognition of his innate talent.
In that era, Heaven and Earth had not yet taken shape; apart from the Heavenly Dao Divine Office, there were no aspiring Immortals. Yang Zu forcibly forged a path to reach that realm.
Its impact on later generations is profoundly far‑reaching.
Following an orderly path differs entirely from blazing a trail alone in the Darkness.
"If Yang Zu can raise the Mediating Creation to a brand‑new level, perhaps he may break Heaven and Earth's shackles, shatter Heavenly Dao conventions, and, by realizing Dao in Chaos, ascend to the Immortal Realm."
Since the age when Black Mist descended, apart from the blind swordsman Immortal who has guarded the Star Ring Realm for countless years with a single sword, no Ascendant has attained ascension through realizing Dao in Chaos.
All have only set foot in the Immortal Realm with Heaven's Will's help.
Relying on the inheritance of an Immortal seat to ascend is simpler, but its drawbacks are obvious; although the will is free and unbound by the Heavenly Dao, it still cannot truly realize Dao in Chaos.
If one cannot advance further, the hope of defeating Black Mist remains unseen.
Chang Haoge also once tried to realize Dao in Chaos on his own, but failed each time, even being struck back by the Great Dao and nearly severing his Dao foundation.
Since then, he can only wait for a vacancy in the Immortal seats.
If none of the nine Immortal seats are vacant, he will never have a chance to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
"Huh? That's not right!"
Staring at the kaleidoscopic Heavenly Dome, Chang Haoge was stunned, "Is there another aura? Are two people simultaneously comprehending the Mediating Creation?"
"There is also one more person…"
"Lin Chuan!"
"Whoa! What kind of monster is he?"
Chang Haoge could not believe it.
Has Lin Chuan also cultivated the Mediating Creation to such a level?
Yang Zu's rapid progress stems from his mastery of the other thirty‑five Daoist Tian Gang methods among the thirty‑six, giving him a solid foundation.
On what basis does Lin Chuan?
Talent?
What kind of talent can achieve this degree?
Chang Haoge could hardly imagine.
Mediating Creation, breaking Heaven and Earth's principles, makes the multicolored Heavenly Dome emit myriad Dao tones; for many cultivators, merely watching from afar is already a tremendous opportunity.
In an instant, within the Purple Star Emperor Sect, thousands of Dao auras surged upward.
Countless cultivators broke through at that moment.
The fortune of the Purple Star Emperor Sect consequently reached an unprecedented height.
Dao tones flow endlessly.
It lasted for a full three months.
The rippling, dazzling hues between Heaven and Earth began to contract slowly, like a river flowing backward, eventually all returning to Zixuan Mountain.
Lin Chuan and his sister Lin Yangyang opened their eyes simultaneously.
Dao tones swirled in both their eyes; they exchanged a smile, needing no words, instantly knowing the other had gained something.
"By the way, Chuan."
Lin Yangyang said, "I have something else to ask you."
Lin Chuan nodded, "What?"
Lin Yangyang continued, "Last time you used the Haoge Sect Founder's talisman, what actually happened? It couldn't have been as simple as it seemed."
"Hmm."
Lin Chuan did not conceal anything and recounted the whole chain of events to his sister.
"Sister, have you heard of the Yang Demon?"
"Yang Demon?"
Lin Yangyang shook her head, "It's just a nickname; the person hides so deeply that nothing shows in the nickname."
"But whoever could reach this step, I can roughly guess…"
"I heard the Haoge Sect Founder mention this years ago; back then, a mysterious great power targeted the Purple Star Emperor Sect, seeking to seize Zixuan Mountain's fortune."
"After being discovered by the Haoge Sect Founder, the Purple Star Emperor Sect's Grand Array suppressed it, inflicting severe injuries, yet it still…"
"Afterwards, the elders of the Purple Star Emperor Sect collaborated to deduce the opponent's identity."
"Perhaps you have also heard of it."
"Who?" Lin Chuan thought, there were too many strange races in his memory, and he truly could not guess at that moment.
"Its name is Bai Ze, an extremely mysterious race; in the barbaric age before the Nine Major Star Regions had merged with Mortal Earth, there were already records of its traces."
Lin Yangyang said, "According to legend, Bai Ze is born of Heaven and Earth; in each era only one Bai Ze is born, and they cannot coexist."
"But the Bai Ze clan has an extremely strange characteristic."
"When they reach a certain stage of growth, the memories of successive Bai Ze ancestors in their bloodline awaken, making the Bai Ze clan ever stronger."
"Once they mature, they are bound to reach the pinnacle."
"Their clan is also extremely proficient in the Heavenly Mechanism Path; the divine dragon shows only its head, never its tail, and ordinary cultivators find it hard to trace their footprints."
"Bai Ze also acts with utmost caution, treating Heaven and Earth as a chessboard, and seldom intervenes personally."
"I see." Lin Chuan had also heard of the Bai Ze clan's reputation, but had never dealt with them. "What does sister think of this matter?"
"Generally speaking, the Bai Ze clan excels at scheming and will not become hostile without cause; practitioners of the Heavenly Mechanism Path do not wish to become entangled with Karma."
Lin Yangyang analyzed, "In other words, Bai Ze wants to contest something with you, which is why it repeatedly schemes against you."
"You blocked its path, so it had no choice but to act."
"But we needn't worry about that much; if it attacks you, regardless of the reason, just capture it and kill it."
Lin Yangyang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Lin Chuan, however, smiled brightly, "I'll pull it out."
Now he has elevated the Mediating Creation Method to a new level, and the third True Avatar's soul is being refined to the utmost of the Void Deity Realm.
He will then be able to breakthrough.
It won't take long.
In the following period, Lin Chuan lived on Zixuan Mountain, occasionally exchanging cultivation insights with his sister or sparring with each other.
The dream cultivation space also continued.
【You have elevated the Mediating Creation Method to a new level, laying a solid foundation for you.】
【You begin refining the soul Dao of the third True Avatar.】
【In the ninety‑ninth year, you successfully refined the third True Avatar's soul to the utmost of the Void Deity Realm.】
【At this point, all three of your great True Avatars have had their souls refined to the utmost of the Void Deity Realm; once your Physical Body steps into the Legendary Realm, you can advance further.】
Lin Chuan exited the dream cultivation space.
It's time to return.
The Physical Body's breakthrough cannot be achieved without Lü Ya's assistance.
