Chapter 397 Triple Ascension to the Holy Body! The Heavenly Dao's 'Virus' and
The joy on Lin Dong's face gradually faded, replaced by solemnity, but his eyes remained firm.
He asked softly, "Brother Chu, what is the Ice Spirit Clan's foundation like?"
Chu Yang answered directly: "The ancient clans existed for a very long time, but they are gradually declining now."
"But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and its ancestor possessed the cultivation of a Spiritual Grade Heavenly Sovereign."
"Moreover, the Ice Spirit Clan has a certain network of connections in the Great Thousand Worlds. If they force their way in, the Ice Spirit Ancestor might be able to find a few Heavenly Sovereigns as helpers."
Lin Dong is currently only at the early stage of the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign. Even if his strength is comparable to that of the mid-stage Spirit Grade, he would still find it difficult to compete with those veteran powerhouses.
The Ice Spirit Clan's protective formation and many other methods passed down from ancient times are not to be underestimated.
Lin Dong took a deep breath, not discouraged by this, and cupped his hands towards Chu Yang, saying:
"Brother Chu, I am deeply grateful!"
In fact, Lin Dong was not discouraged by the strength of the Ice Spirit Clan; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least for now, it can be confirmed that Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul has not dissipated, and there is still a chance to revive her.
In his view, Chu Yang's willingness to put in the effort for this matter, and even use his connections in the Daqian Palace to gather intelligence, was an immense favor.
Without Chu Yang's help, it would probably have taken an unknown amount of time to find out any news about Huanhuan in this vast world.
Lin Dong did not ask Chu Yang or Sun Wukong for help, nor did he even consider asking Qin Tian for assistance.
Qin Tian is a member of the Great Thousand Palace, so it's not appropriate for him to get involved in this kind of thing.
Chu Yang had only met him by chance, and his willingness to help him gather information was already more than enough.
Sun Wukong saved the entire Tianxuan Continent back then and gave himself a great opportunity, so how could he be so greedy?
"You have spent many years accumulating experience in the lower realms and hiding your talents in the outer realms. Now you have finally arrived in the Great Thousand World, which can be considered a great achievement after years of hard work..."
Chu Yang smiled and looked at Lin Dong and the others, "It won't be long before your strength all improves further!"
"At that time, even the Ice Spirit Clan will have to give them some face."
"Of course, there are countless powerful beings in the vast world, and a rootless duckweed is always somewhat weak and powerless."
Lin Dong understood that Chu Yang was implying that he should form or join a certain force so that he would have enough confidence to face the behemoths in the Great Thousand World.
"That's all I have to say. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can crush this wooden plaque, and I will come to your aid immediately."
Chu Yang stood up, handed a wooden plaque to Lin Dong, then stretched and said, "I will be in seclusion on the Holy Abyss Continent for a period of time, and will leave after I emerge from seclusion."
"I hope that when we meet again, you will all be famous!"
After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
Sun Wukong curled his lip and said, "Why didn't I get this kind of treatment back then?"
Han Que, who was not far away, covered her mouth and chuckled. She was one of the first people to follow Sun Wukong and had witnessed firsthand how difficult it had been for him in the foreign lands over the years.
They were constantly walking on the edge of life and death; a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Lin Dong smiled at Sun Wukong and said, "Brother Monkey, now that we have accurate information, we must leave. Next time we meet, I'll definitely treat you to a drink!"
Sun Wukong nodded. Finally, Lin Dong exchanged a glance with his wife, sister, and two brothers before taking off into the air.
On the way to the teleportation array, Lin Yan scratched his head and asked, "Brother, since Brother Chu gave you information about your sister-in-law and that wooden tablet, why didn't he just take action and go to the Ice Spirit Clan to retrieve her remnant soul?"
Before Lin Dong could speak, Lin Diao said irritably, "Brother Chu is intentionally testing us, can't you see that?"
"Refinement?" Lin Yan was momentarily stunned.
Lin Dong smiled and said, "That wooden plaque will be used sooner or later, but if I ask him for help to save Huanhuan, he will probably be very disappointed."
Lin Diao changed the subject, asking, "Where are we going now?"
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Dong raised his eyes and said, "The southern border of the Great Thousand World!"
"As Brother Qin mentioned before, due to the counterattack of the Demon Suppression Continent and the commotion caused by Brother Monkey in the outer regions, the pressure on the borders of all parties has increased sharply."
"The situation in the south is now the most critical; when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?"
"To protect the Tianxuan Continent and our loved ones, resisting the evil race is of paramount importance!"
"You want to build up your influence in the south?" Ling Qingzhu grasped Lin Dong's hand.
Lin Dong nodded, his eyes sharpening. "This is exactly what Brother Chu expected of me. He has helped me time and time again; how could I let him down?"
Lin Qingtan blinked and asked, "Then what's the name of our organization?"
A hint of reminiscence flashed in Lin Dong's eyes as he smiled and said, "Since everyone on the continent calls me the Martial Ancestor, then let's call me 'Martial Realm'!"
…………
Saint Abyss Continent, Great Thousand Tower, Top Floor.
This place used to be the residence of the core elder of the Great Thousand Palace stationed at the Great Immortal Pavilion. However, that core elder is rarely seen, so it has now become Chu Yang's place of seclusion.
While refining the power of faith within the Ascension Talisman, Chu Yang pondered matters concerning Lin Dong.
Just as Lin Diao had thought, he was indeed intentionally testing Lin Dong and the others.
Providing accurate information about Ying Huanhuan was partly intended to make Lin Dong owe a favor, but the main purpose was for Chu Yang to reassure him.
Once it was confirmed that Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul still existed and could be resurrected, Lin Dong had no more concerns.
Next, he only needs to keep getting stronger and gain a foothold in the Great Thousand Worlds. Once he has enough foundation and strength, he will naturally be able to reclaim Ying Huanhuan's remnant soul.
This pressure will accelerate Lin Dong's growth.
However, Chu Yang was somewhat curious about the opportunity that Sun Wukong had given them. After all, even in the Great Thousand World, opportunities that could benefit even a Heavenly Sovereign were extremely rare.
Moreover, Chu Yang already had a full understanding of what happened on the Tianxuan Continent.
In short, Sun Wukong once went to the Tianxuan Continent and suppressed an invasion by the alien demons, giving the Tianxuan Continent a chance to breathe.
He originally intended to eliminate the alien demons in one fell swoop, but due to some unexpected circumstances, he hastily left the Tianxuan Continent.
The so-called unexpected situation was related to that great opportunity.
However, before leaving, Sun Wukong provided some assistance to Lin Dong and the others, accelerating their growth.
This is precisely why Lin Dong was able to break through his cultivation realm ahead of schedule, kill the Demon Emperor, and enter the Great Thousand World.
Just as things settled down on the Tianxuan Continent, Sun Wukong also resolved the matter of the related opportunities, so he simply sent Lin Dong and the others, along with Qin Tian, over there.
However, there is a key problem: those who come to the Great Thousand World from the lower plane need to transform their spiritual energy. The spiritual energy outside the realm is too mixed, which makes this process extremely difficult.
It took Lin Dong and the others three whole years to barely convert all their strength into spiritual power, but they didn't have time to fully digest the opportunity they had gained, which also delayed their advancement in cultivation level.
That's why Chu Yang said they had been accumulating strength for a long time, and that Lin Dong and the others' strength would improve by leaps and bounds soon!
By then, even if the Ice Spirit Ancestor invited the Western Heaven Battle Emperor, he would not be able to change the final outcome.
If the Western Heaven Battle Emperor were to develop lustful thoughts towards Huanhuan as in the original story, he would likely be suppressed by Lin Dong.
Before long, Chu Yang had refined all the power of faith.
Some of this power of faith came from the powerful figures in War Demon City, while the other part was accumulated over the past few days after his return to the Great Thousand World.
If his deeds on the Demon Suppression Continent and the impact of his newly crowned Demon Slayer King only earned him the respect of many powerful figures in the Great Thousand Worlds.
His return alive this time, and the rescue of tens of thousands of people from beyond the realm, completely shocked everyone who knew about it!
Most importantly, Chu Yang's trip to the outer realms was not like "wearing fine clothes in the dark," but rather caused a huge commotion.
Leaving aside the possibility that the anomalies in the heavens and earth might be related to him, his feat of slaying three Asura Demon Emperors in succession is nothing short of a heroic act!
The Great Thousand Palace did not deliberately suppress the news of this matter; almost everyone who reached a certain level of strength or power knew about it.
After all, this is something that can greatly boost the morale of the entire world, so there's no need to hide it.
Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that the powerful figures and forces guarding the borders of all sides know why the extraterrestrial evil race has suddenly revolted.
Initially, some individuals or forces expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that someone had caused a great disturbance, leading to an attack by the extraterrestrial evil race and resulting in heavy losses for them.
But after learning the whole story, no one harbored any resentment; only deep respect remained.
The newly promoted Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace had just killed three Nether Demon Emperors and one Profound Demon Emperor when he single-handedly stormed into the outer realms and killed three more late-stage Profound Demon Emperors in the heart of the outer realms!
Not only did he extricate himself from the situation afterward, but he also saved tens of thousands of people!
A great victory!
This is absolutely the greatest victory that the Great Thousand Realms has achieved against the outer realms in the last thousand years!
What's wrong with all parties bearing some pressure and paying some price at the border for this great victory?
As a result, those who had previously admired Chu Yang began to worship him even more.
Those who used to scoff at him and look down on him have now put away their arrogance, perhaps unwilling to admit it but secretly admiring him greatly.
In this way, even those low- to mid-level forces or powerful individuals remained completely unaware of these matters, yet still received a considerable amount of faith power from Chu Yang.
Having absorbed all the power of faith, Chu Yang's Ascension Body was upgraded from the eleventh level to the thirteenth level.
The overall increase brought about by the Ascension to the Holy Body reached nearly 224%, an increase of nearly 20% in total!
He is currently at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign realm. Due to the limited "base" of his own strength, the amplification of his Ascension Saint Body cannot be fully manifested yet.
When he breaks through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm, the power of his Ascended Saint Body will be fully revealed!
Chu Yang roughly estimated that even without using "True Bankai" and the Heavenly Demon Force, he would be able to contend with the peak of the Immortal-grade Heavenly Supreme, or even the half-step Saint-grade.
If all means are used, even the Asura Demon Emperor might be a worthy opponent!
In the early stages of a Saint-level battle, victory is assured!
However, once you reach the Saint-level, even the slightest difference will be magnified infinitely, making it extremely difficult to defeat enemies beyond your current level.
Unless it's an absolute crushing victory, it's difficult to kill your opponent.
…………
The Palace of Souls.
"Oh! What a rare guest!"
Looking at the fighting spirit Chu Yang, the magical Chu Yang couldn't help but tease him.
Dou Qi Chu Yang had indeed not returned for quite some time. He had been fully focused on comprehending the power of space in the Sacred Abyss and could not afford to be distracted. Later, when he entered the outer realm, he was surrounded by enemies and naturally dared not let his guard down.
After sharing his battle aura with the others, Chu Yang stretched and said, "I went to the final dungeon, and thankfully we didn't encounter the final boss!"
Calling the outer realms the final copy of the Dou Qi world is indeed not an exaggeration.
The "big boss" he was referring to was naturally the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor.
As for the Heavenly Evil God?
That's the final boss!
Marvel's Chu Yang widened his eyes and said, "Your Monkey King over there... his development path has gone a bit off!"
Dou Qi Chu Yang shrugged and said, "It is indeed a bit off, but it's still a pleasant surprise."
"Now, in terms of strength alone, he is probably not inferior to the original self."
The immortal swordsman Chu Yang, however, saw another side to the story, pondering, "It seems we underestimated the potential of the Battle Saint Body!"
Even clones have extremely high growth potential and malleability!
Just then, Chu Yang, the God of Chaos, emerged from the nebula, yawning and asking somewhat listlessly, "How's it going? Did you manage to create the clone of the mysterious girl?"
Immediately afterward, he saw Chu Yang, who possessed Dou Qi, and his eyes lit up. After completing the sharing, he sighed and said:
"Compared to your experience, my days have been incredibly boring!"
Indeed, as he said, ever since he dealt with the three emperor-level creatures in the void, Super God Chu Yang has been wandering in the void, searching for the origin of void creatures.
The unchanging environment, coupled with the low-level void creatures that posed no threat to him, made his days incredibly boring.
However, it wasn't all for naught. At least he found the Void Origin that gave birth to the Baron and figured out why most Void creatures could still survive without the Origin as their support.
Ultimately, the void devoured all the origins that had given birth to various void creatures!
These things are completely integrated with the void, which, while severely limiting the growth potential of many void creatures, also gives them near-immortality.
Even in death, one can be "resurrected" in the void.
However, after being resurrected, their already somewhat low intelligence will completely disappear, and their life form and power will return to their initial state, starting all over again.
This is why void creatures are caught in an endless cycle of devouring and evolution.
If we compare the "Heavenly Dao" of the Super God world to a computer, then the void is like the "recycle bin" of this computer, storing all kinds of computer viruses and junk files.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to solve it at its root unless the Heavenly Dao is destroyed; at most, it can only be sealed off.
Meanwhile, the godlike Chu Yang also discovered some clues related to the truth of history...
It seems that prehistoric civilizations and those "true gods" were regarded as "viruses" by the Heavenly Dao back then, which is why the void connected with the main universe, triggering a war.
When the war reached an uncontrollable point, the Heavenly Dao simply used the power of the true gods of the universe and the void to create a singularity explosion.
In this explosion, life in the main universe restarted, and the void once again fell silent.
The "virus" was solved, the "recycle bin" was shut down, allowing cosmic life to start anew, and cosmic civilization to evolve anew...
No matter how you look at it, it seems like a prehistoric civilization and prehistoric gods have escaped the control of the Heavenly Dao and become "failures" in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao!
It's like...
The Heavenly Dao was playing a simulation management game, but the development path deviated from its original expectations, so it simply deleted the "save file," resetting everything to zero and starting all over again! (End of Chapter)
