Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 1186: Chapter 8: The Astonished Emperor (Request for Subscription)

Over the years since arriving in this Fang Yuan World, Lin Yuan has collected quite a number of Secret Techniques from the Xuanyin Ancient Country.

There is much camaraderie among the Great Lords of each Ancient Country, often exchanging favors and trading with each other.

Many Secret Techniques are naturally included in these trades.

However, the Secret Techniques that can be traded at the level of Great Lords are still too shallow for Lin Yuan.

Now, these two Heavenly Venerates from Xuanyin Ancient Country give Lin Yuan hope of accessing the profound Secret Techniques passed down from Xuanyin Ancient Country.

Of course, Lin Yuan does not expect to obtain the truly exclusive Secret Techniques of Xuanyin Ancient Country. Such levels of inheritances, even if Beiyin Venerable and Jihan Venerate have practiced them, would not be recorded.

But there’s a high probability that ordinary Secret Techniques at the Heavenly Venerate level would be kept as backups.

For instance, the Sky Burning Court founded by Lord Qingfen contains many Secret Techniques.

Lin Yuan immediately began investigating the world treasures left by the two Heavenly Venerates, which stored Beiyin Venerable and Jihan Venerate’s many years of collections.

These two Heavenly Venerates had no idea they would be completely trapped in the Hei Yu Nest this time.

Therefore, the main battle bodies that infiltrated carried quite a few treasures and rare items.

Lin Yuan glanced over these treasures and rare items and directly looked into the region of Secret Techniques.

"’Xuanyin Thirteen Cuts’... established by a Peak Venerable from Xuanyin Ancient Country, based on the supreme inheritance ’Xuanyin Secret Scripture’, using the extreme Xuanyin Qi to form a devastating cut..."

Lin Yuan carefully watched and comprehended.

The so-called Peak Venerable corresponds to the Chaos Void’s Chaos Great Saint. Compared to the Chaos Great Saint, Peak Venerables do not rely on internal universes, but they lead in the road of Chaos Power evolution.

Every Peak Venerable among the six Ancient Countries has created their own attack methods on the road of Chaos Theory.

For example, ’Xuanyin Thirteen Cuts’ was created by a Peak Venerable from Xuanyin Ancient Country, where each cut can severely wound ordinary Heavenly Venerates, with the final cuts having the capability to kill normal Heavenly Venerates.

"Impressive."

Lin Yuan was amazed while comprehending.

If the evolution of Chaos Power were divided into three levels, then Chaos Great Saints from Chaos Void would be at the first level.

The Chaos Great Saints are at the second level, and the Peak Venerables of the six Ancient Countries in this Fang Yuan World stand at the third level.

The third level of Chaos Power evolution has already considered the condensation of one’s own Tao Fruit, not just a simple road.

"What a pity that the true profound inheritance of Xuanyin Ancient Country cannot be spread out." Lin Yuan sighed.

This ’Xuanyin Thirteen Cuts’ was only common among Heavenly Venerates in Xuanyin Ancient Country and hence Lin Yuan could find a copy in the world treasures of the two Heavenly Venerates.

"However, this harvest is already substantial."

Lin Yuan looked at the numerous Secret Techniques in the world treasures. In addition to ’Xuanyin Thirteen Cuts’, there are four other techniques at the same level, and as for the weaker ordinary Heavenly Venerate inheritance, there are dozens.

Beiyin Venerable and Jihan Venerate naturally absorb the strengths of many factions; to reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm, it is practically impossible to achieve without external influence, having comprehended countless Secret Techniques before finally finding their path.

"By comprehending these Secret Techniques, I can distinctly feel my Taiyin Dao has become much ’fuller’."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, this fullness is not in terms of strength, but rather a fundamental fullness. All along, Lin Yuan felt Taiyang surpassed Taiyin.

Even with the mutual conversion of Taiyang and Taiyin, overall Taiyin has always been the weak link.

"One wonders what kind of Dao the ’Xuanyin Secret Scripture’ of the Xuanyin Ancient Country might record?" Lin Yuan pondered expectantly.

’Xuanyin Secret Scripture’ is the supreme secret text of Xuanyin Ancient Country, derived from the Xuanyin Ancestor, matching the supreme inheritance of Fierce Sun Ancient Country.

...

Xuanyin Ancient Country, the capital.

In the Beiyin and Jihan Royal Mansion, the true bodies of the two mighty figures opened their eyes.

As Venerates, if willing to serve the Ancient Country, they are usually bestowed the title of king and own a royal mansion in the capital.

"That Galaxy... actually became a Venerate?" Jihan Venerate still finds it hard to believe, within the long years of the six Ancient Countries, the unbreakable shackles of the core royal family were shattered by Galaxy.

"Beiyin..."

Jihan Venerate immediately dispatched an avatar to Beiyin Royal Mansion to discuss subsequent matters with Beiyin Venerable.

Inside Beiyin Royal Mansion.

In a pavilion, Beiyin Venerable sat there, while Jihan Venerate sat opposite.

"Beiyin, what do you think we should do now?"

Jihan Venerate asked immediately.

Their covert actions yielded nothing, and their main battle bodies were even left behind.

"What should we do?"

Beiyin Venerable sighed inwardly, had he known earlier that the Galaxy Venerate was so monstrous, he would never have entertained the idea of getting involved with Hei Yu Nest.

He initially thought the entry of Galaxy Great Lord into Hei Yu Nest would weaken this prime treasure site; unexpectedly, it not only did not weaken, but became even stronger than when Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate was in charge.

Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate’s strength is close to a Peak Venerable, but his means tend toward direct attacks, he could at best critically wound them.

As for restraining them? He couldn’t.

But Lin Yuan’s external cosmos suppression deadlocked the two Venerates.

In a place like Hei Yu Nest, restraining ability is far more important than direct attacks.

"No choice, we can only be honest with the emperor." Beiyin Venerable thought for a while and spoke.

"Honest with the emperor?" Jihan Venerate fell into silence.

This means they will definitely receive punishment from the emperor, having acted against a prime treasure site, breaking the tacit rules of the two Ancient Countries, Xuanyin Ancient Country won’t easily let them off even if it’s just for appearances.

"If not, shall we wait for Fierce Sun Ancient Country to pursue us with our personal weapons?"

Beiyin Venerable glanced at Jihan Venerate.

Although they both destroyed their main battle bodies, personal weapons still remain.

And in the six Ancient Countries, the personal weapons of Heavenly Venerates are highly recognizable. By relying on their personal weapons, it’s certain they infiltrated Hei Yu Nest.

Not to mention Beiyin Venerable and Jihan Venerate exhibited their strength within Hei Yu Nest, merely requiring a Heavenly Venerate proficient in the Dao of Time to go back and review scenes, they can be identified.

"Could we negotiate with that Galaxy Venerate, asking him not to spread this matter?" Jihan Venerate pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Negotiation..." Beiyin Venerable Sage thought for a moment, "Then let’s give it a try."

So far, only the three of them knew about this, and as long as Galaxy Venerate kept silent, outsiders wouldn’t know.

...

Hei Yu Nest.

Lin Yuan was contemplating the spoils he had obtained.

Suddenly, he looked up toward the distance.

Buzz.

At the border between two Ancient Countries, a manifestation of Lin Yuan descended.

In the distance, Beiyin Venerable Sage and Jihan Venerate’s manifestations stood there as well.

"What do you need from me?" Lin Yuan glanced at the two Venerables of the Xuanyin Ancient Country and said casually.

"Galaxy Venerate." Beiyin Venerable Sage looked at Lin Yuan, "Could today’s incident be kept secret?"

"Kept secret?" Lin Yuan understood why Beiyin Venerable Sage wanted him to keep it secret, "What can you give me?"

"As long as Galaxy Venerate keeps today’s matters secret, both I and Jihan will owe you a favor." Beiyin Venerable Sage said.

"Yes, owe you a favor." Jihan Venerate also said from the side.

"Just a favor?" Lin Yuan looked at the two Venerables.

Stopping the invasion of Hei Yu Nest by the two Venerables and eventually leaving behind their main battle bodies would grant him considerable merit in the Fierce Sun Ancient Country.

With such merit, Lin Yuan could exchange it in the Fierce Sun treasury for more Fierce Sun Inheritance Secret Methods.

"Then what do you want, Galaxy Venerate?" Beiyin Venerable Sage inquired.

"Xuanyin Secret Scripture." Lin Yuan said directly.

"Impossible." Beiyin Venerable Sage immediately shook his head, "I have already sworn to the Ancestor, it is impossible to transmit this inheritance."

"Since that’s the case, you have no negotiating value with me." Lin Yuan’s figure directly vanished.

Negotiating with Venerable Sages from enemy countries inherently carries risk; afterward, they could use it as leverage or threat.

If there were a supreme inheritance like the Xuanyin Secret Scripture, Lin Yuan might take a risk.

But clearly, Beiyin Venerable Sage and Xuanyin Venerable could not offer such tempting items.

So Lin Yuan didn’t bother to continue negotiations.

...

Capital of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country.

Lin Yuan walked out from the royal mansion.

"Killing the main battle bodies of two enemy Venerables; according to the merit exchange standards set by the Ancient Country, each Venerable’s main battle body is worth five hundred thousand merit."

"The main battle bodies of two Venerables are equal to one million merit."

Lin Yuan estimated in his mind.

It must be known that previously, on the battlefields of the Qingfen Domain and Purple Dream Domain, Lin Yuan singlehandedly turned the tide, and ultimately obtained only over a hundred thousand merit.

"Let’s go."

Lin Yuan would certainly not leave the merit behind, he directly headed to the palace to meet the emperor of the Ancient Country.

Inside the grand hall.

The emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country smiled at Lin Yuan and said, "Galaxy, what brings you to me?"

"The Hei Yu Nest I was stationed at was intruded upon by two Xuanyin Ancient Country Venerables."

Lin Yuan reported truthfully.

"Two Venerables intruded?" The emperor’s expression slightly changed.

The Hei Yu in the Hei Yu Nest has a great refining effect on the mental will of those at the Venerable level, attracting Venerable-level powerhouses wasn’t surprising.

Previously, Hei Yu Nest was guarded by Chi Yang Heavenly Venerate, an experienced Venerate, leaving the enemy Venerables little chance to infiltrate, so there was not much activity.

"Who were the two Venerables?"

The emperor inquired.

"Beiyin and Jihan." Lin Yuan said.

There were only a few Venerables in the Xuanyin Ancient Country, making them easy to identify.

"It’s them..."

The emperor nodded slightly, "No matter, this time consider it a lesson, I will give you a small punishment openly, and still let you guard the Hei Yu Nest."

The emperor looked at Lin Yuan and said.

The Hei Yu Nest nurtures rare treasures known as Hei Yu; being plundered once is not a major issue. The emperor also wanted to use this incident to hone Lin Yuan.

As for the lost Hei Yu? Over the long term, it’s not a significant loss, as the Hei Yu Nest will continue to nurture rare Hei Yu.

"Punishment?"

Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled, immediately realizing that the emperor must have misunderstood, thinking he hadn’t defended the Hei Yu Nest.

"The Hei Yu wasn’t taken by those two Venerables."

Lin Yuan immediately said.

"Wasn’t taken?"

The emperor looked at Lin Yuan, frowning.

"I left Beiyin and Jihan behind, the main battle bodies of two Venerables should be worth one million merit?"

Lin Yuan looked at the emperor and said, when it comes to distributing merit at the Venerable level, the emperor’s approval is needed.

"What did you say?"

The emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country looked at Lin Yuan in astonishment.
