Chapter 237: "Go" Route, Zi Yan's Advancement

Canaan College, Library.

Walking out of the long dark passage, Lin Yuan set foot here again after a long absence.

Looking up, I saw a purple light cocoon about ten feet wide standing in the open space in front of the pavilion. Under the starry night sky, it emitted a mysterious and noble purple light, and in the light, some mysterious runes flashed from time to time.

Sensing Lin Yuan's arrival, the purple light cocoon emitted a wave of joyful soul fluctuations.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan walked to the front of the purple light cocoon, patted it gently, and said gently: "Zi Yan, how is the situation? Is everything going well?"

The purple light cocoon flashed, and a huge stream of information, along with a soul wave, entered Lin Yuan's mind.

"Can you complete the advancement in a few days? So fast this time?" Lin Yuan frowned slightly and warned: "Girl, don't be impatient. We have a lot of time. You must wait until the moment of perfection before breaking out of the cocoon."

The purple light cocoon flashed quickly, and with a somewhat cheerful and complacent soul fluctuation, it was transmitted again.

"The energy in the pill is too abundant, saving you the time to absorb the energy."

After sensing the state inside the cocoon, Lin Yuan nodded: "That's right, the massive energy of the eighth-grade elixir is indeed enough to help you cross the sixth level to the seventh level."

It seems that it doesn’t take too much time for a Warcraft to break through to level seven.

Looking at the light cocoon in front of him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of Medusa's advancement process. After completing the evolution ritual, her essence broke through the seventh level. After that, she just used some time to absorb energy and consolidate her cultivation.

Now, with the enormous amount of energy provided by the eighth-grade elixir, it is natural for Zi Yan to break through quickly.

This matter, a wave of soul fluctuation, came out again with a little expectation.

Hearing Zi Yan's request, Lin Yuan smiled, gently stroked the purple light cocoon in front of him, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay! These days, I will be here with you, waiting to witness the moment when you complete the advancement and break out of the cocoon."

Hearing this, a wave of joy surged in his soul, and then a faint humming sounded...

"Can you help me nourish the dragon energy in my body? Thank you very much..."

Hearing Zi Yan's suggestion, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up with joy, and without any refusal, he released the surging dragon energy in his body. The moment the majestic purple dragon energy left his body, it rushed towards the light cocoon and merged into it without any hindrance.

As the dragon energy was absorbed, the purple light cocoon calmed down, with strands of deep purple light flowing through it.

Lin Yuan smiled lightly and bowed towards the void in front of him, "Long time no see, Mr. Bai!"

Before he finished speaking, the space twisted slightly, and a gray figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yuan. It was Bai Lie.

After Bai Lie appeared, he looked at Lin Yuan for a while and smiled appreciatively.

"Four-star Dou Zong, your cultivation level is improving at an alarming rate. I can sense a considerable threat from you. My intuition has always been very accurate. It seems that your strength has surpassed mine!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan waved his hands and said quickly: "No way? My strength is far from the two elders..."

"Alright!" Bai Lao waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Don't be too modest. You don't need to be too respectful to us old guys!"

After a pause, he said in a more serious tone: "You respect the status of our senior in the academy, and we also need to respect your strength and alchemy skills. This makes it even. When we communicate, we should be equal and casual..."

"It would be heartbreaking for me to waste my precious friendship on these meaningless rituals!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan looked at Bai Lie in surprise, chuckled, and said, "Mr. Bai, you are really... insightful!"

Bai Lie smiled and said meaningfully: "In Douqi Continent, the strong are respected! This sentence has never been an empty talk, but an iron rule. You can have any opinion of people, but you must maintain the necessary respect for strength..."

"When the strength of the strong is demonstrated, the weak should give corresponding respect. This is the healthy order."

"Thank you for your teachings, Master Bai!" Lin Yuan cupped his hands and bowed sincerely.

Lin Yuan himself agreed with Bai Lie's point of view.

Unless the relationship is extremely close, there is a natural order between the strong and the weak, and a corresponding distance will naturally form. The strong party can ignore it willfully, but the weak party must always pay attention and not get carried away.

Putting down his raised hands, Lin Yuan's attitude became more casual, and he asked, "Master Bai, why don't you meet Master Qian?"

"As for old man Qian, he went to Zhongzhou to help you get medicinal herbs!" Bai Lie stroked his beard and said calmly, "Calculating the time, he has been gone for almost a month! According to his speed, he should be back in about two months."

"After he comes back, we can take turns in seclusion and try to break through..."

As he spoke of the latter part, a hint of anticipation flashed in Bai Lie's eyes. With three Zunshi Pills in hand, he and Qianmu had a good chance of fulfilling their long-cherished wish.

The two of them are just one step away from becoming a Dou Zun, and both are qualified to retreat and strive for the Dou Zun.

Before, he was worried about the backlash of failing to break through the realm, so he had been honing his cultivation. After all, if he failed to break through the realm, the terrible backlash was no joke. If he was not careful, he would be seriously injured and lose his realm, and it was not impossible for him to die.

Now, with the Zunshi Pill in hand, one of its functions is to eliminate the risk of backlash, directly relieving the pressure on the two of them...

When breaking through, the state of mind has always been a crucial link.

In fact, after Bai Lie got the Zunshi Pill, although he had not yet taken it, the relief of psychological pressure made his fighting spirit much more active, and his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, had also shown some upward trends.

Feeling the sigh in his words, Lin Yuan said confidently: "I believe that it won't be long before the academy will have two more Dou Zun..."

"I hope so!" Bai Lie smiled with a complicated expression and sighed faintly: "From the peak of Dou Zong to Dou Zun, there is only one step, which is a world of difference. In order to break through this line, this old man and Qian Lao spent decades."

"We have practiced diligently for decades and have made all the preparations we can. Now we have this first pill. If we still cannot succeed, then it is our fate..."

"The two elders have accumulated a lot of experience and will definitely succeed!" Lin Yuan said.

"Thank you for your good words." Bai Lie nodded and said in a deep voice: "You can be at ease here, and I will continue to practice in seclusion!"

As he spoke, his figure hid behind the barrier and slowly disappeared in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. This was the world of "ordinary" practitioners. Once they entered the step-by-step training mode, even the previous elders of Canaan Academy would spend several years or even ten years to break through one star or one level.

"That's why I don't want to practice in a stable and orderly manner. That's why I want to stir up trouble and walk on a tightrope."

“The louder the storm, the more expensive the fish!”

With a faint smile, Lin Yuan looked at the purple light cocoon in front of him, with a hint of smile in his eyes. This was the confidence that allowed him to join the Soul Palace and seek revenge.

Lin Yuan never underestimated the Soul Palace, and was mentally prepared for the possibility of being tricked after joining.

After all, Lin Yuan himself was able to research a bunch of soul restrictions and a series of methods targeting the soul. And the Soul Palace, an ancient force that has been doing research on the soul for many years, would definitely not lack the means to control others.

Lin Yuan had a hunch that even if he took the initiative to join the Soul Palace, he would most likely be set up with similar tactics. However, there was an almost iron rule in the Douqi Continent.

That is, no matter how sophisticated and tricky the methods of low-level cultivators are, it is not too difficult for high-level cultivators to break them.

For example, the tricky method of Demonic Poison Spots is difficult to resolve at the same level, but can be easily resolved at a higher level.

Therefore, even if Lin Yuan was subjected to some soul-related tricks in order to gain the trust of the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan, as long as they were not set up by the Soul Emperor himself, then as long as Zi Yan's father, the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, could take action, everything would not be a problem.

As one of the strongest men in the Douqi Continent, Zhu Kun's Douqi cultivation at the peak of the Dousheng realm and his emperor-level soul are enough to crush all the means set up by the Soul Palace.

Zi Yan in the light cocoon is Lin Yuan’s real trump card and the core of his future “big chess game”.

After entering Zhongzhou, he will do his best to help Zi Yan achieve the body of a dragon and phoenix. Once the subsequent battle for the source of energy cannot be resolved quickly and enters a long period of tug-of-war, Lin Yuan will fully support Zi Yan and let her quickly grow to the peak of the dragon and phoenix.

The peak dragon phoenix, the complete ancient Bodhi tree and the emperor-grade embryonic pill, these three are clearly capable of surpassing the combat power of Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan, and are enough to break the balance of power.

According to ancient legends, when a dragon phoenix truly reaches its peak, it can face the legendary Dou Emperor without fear.

Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, and whether the peak Dragon Phoenix can really rival the Dou Emperor, she can definitely defeat the Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan.

After all, bloodline is the most important thing for Warcraft, and Zhu Kun, whose bloodline is one level lower than that of the dragon and phoenix, is powerful enough to rival that of Emperor Hun Tian and Gu Yuan. Dragons and phoenixes, whose bloodline is one level higher, will undoubtedly be much stronger after they grow to their peak.

As long as Zi Yan can become a dragon phoenix and reach the peak, the source energy in the ancient emperor's cave or the ancient emperor's inheritance will be in Lin Yuan's pocket.

As for whether Zi Yan can reach the peak, Lin Yuan has absolute confidence.

Although this girl is careless, she has incredible talent, a talent that even Lin Yuan envies.

It is clearly an ancient Taixu dragon, but in terms of the ability to digest energy, it is not inferior to the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. In addition, its ability to consume energy during advancement is far greater than that of ordinary monsters. Its cultivation is also very solid, and it is fully capable of fighting above its level.

In other aspects, Zi Yan's conditions are also extremely high.

As the next-generation Dragon Emperor appointed by the emperor, she has the protection of Zhu Kun, a top-level expert, and support from herself, a high-level alchemist. As long as she has enough time, she will surely grow to the top.

And time had already been bought for Zi Yan when Lin Yuan got the Xiao family's ancient jade.

This is the "Hide" route designed by Lin Yuan, but the protagonist of this route is Zi Yan, not Lin Yuan himself.

This route will be completely ready once the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit is found.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan walked to the light cocoon, patted it gently, and said meaningfully: "Girl, you have to work hard and get stronger quickly. I, your brother, am still waiting to eat your 'soft rice'..."

As if it could sense the seriousness in his words, a moment after Lin Yuan finished speaking, the light of the light cocoon suddenly became slightly brighter, as if it was patting its chest to make a guarantee.

“Haha!” Lin Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw this, “Really? Then I’ll leave it to you from now on…”

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged next to the light cocoon. He flipped his hand and a grey scroll appeared in his hand. It was the method of gathering fire and condensing pills that Yao Lao had perfected. He spread out the scroll and began to study it carefully.

Time passes slowly in the quiet waiting.
-
Five days later.

In the calm void in front of the purple light cocoon, circles of space ripples like water waves suddenly echoed up, as if a dynamic "water mirror" was placed in the calm void.

Afterwards, a figure in green quietly emerged in the "water mirror" and then walked out of the "water mirror" leisurely.

"clatter--"

After a moment, a clear and firm sound of footsteps echoed in the silence. A foot stepped firmly out of the "water mirror" and stepped onto the bluestone slab. The person in the mirror seemed to walk from fantasy into reality.

As Lin Yuan completely separated from the "water mirror", the whole person seemed to transform from an illusory shadow into a real person.

At the same time, the other several phantom "Lin Yuan" in the sky also disappeared without a trace at this moment, leaving only him standing between heaven and earth.

After realizing what he had just felt, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"The second level of Void Travel, Illusion Weaving, practiced successfully."

At this moment, the energy in this area blocked by layers of space seals began to fluctuate violently.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look, and saw the purple light cocoon emitting brilliant purple light, and on the surface of the light cocoon, many mysterious runes slowly emerged. These runes emitted a faint light and looked quite magical.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up with joy, "After spending half a month, this girl finally refined that huge medicinal power."

As time went by, the light of the light cocoon became stronger and stronger.

"Click——"

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and a tiny crack suddenly appeared on the light cocoon.

Just like the opening of a prologue, continuous "click" sounds were heard, and countless tiny purple lights shone through the tiny cracks.

When the cracks covered the entire light cocoon, a mysterious wave rippled out, and the cracked purple shell of the light cocoon suddenly turned into a thick purple gas, swirling inwards and turning into a mysterious purple gas vortex.

Suddenly, a purple beam of light shot out from the vortex of purple air into the sky, colliding with the space barrier set up by Lin Yuan, causing waves and ripples.

A shocking dragon roar came from the purple light.

"Yin——"

An extremely violent sound wave swept out in an instant.

In this violent sound wave, four of the five layers of space barrier that Lin Yuan had set up in advance suddenly fluctuated. However, after being weakened by four layers, the sound wave was finally blocked by the fifth layer.

"It is indeed the most authentic and top-level dragon roar. I would like to call it the most powerful sonic fighting skill I have ever seen."

Seeing the effect of Zi Yan's long moan, Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a breath.

Although Zi Yan had just roared simply, its power was even greater than when he used his full strength to perform the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

There was no time to think more, the changes in front of Lin Yuan continued.

The purple energy vortex flowed back and was finally absorbed into the petite body in the light column. The next moment, Zi Yan's petite body began to change rapidly. A roar was heard and a giant purple dragon soared into the sky.

This is a long dragon that is completely purple, but within this purple color, there is also a hint of noble and direct golden light.

The true form of the Taixu Ancient Dragon appeared in front of Lin Yuan for the first time.
