Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 45: Chapter 43: The Heavenly Master Descends the Mountain
Under Qingping’s quiet explanation,

and Master Cang Qing’s nod of affirmation,

Changqing finally believed that Lin Yuan had become a Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Mansion.

To be precise, he was the thirty-seventh generation Celestial Master.

The thirty-sixth generation Celestial Master dated back to five hundred years ago.

“How unpredictable life is…”

Changqing’s expression was one of gratification, tinged with a hint of complexity.

Before he fell unconscious, the Celestial Master Mansion, together with other righteous forces, had been collectively striving to curb the expansion of the Demon Crowd and other Demonic Tao forces.

The situation between the two sides wasn’t exactly even, but the Celestial Master Mansion had not gained any advantage.

But now,

Lin Yuan, whom he had watched grow up, had become a Celestial Master, directly breaking through the Myriad Demons Sect, with the blood of the Demonic Tao’s followers still warm at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Such a turn of events left Changqing quite emotional.

Next,

Lin Yuan checked Changqing’s body several times over to ensure there was no residue of Demonic Qi,

before rising to take his leave.

Changqing walked to the entrance of the Daoist temple, watching Lin Yuan’s departing figure, his lips moved, “Zhang, your son, your son has become an invincible Celestial Master.”

 

True Martial Dao Zang.

Lin Yuan returned here once again.

This place had always been where the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master Mansion secluded themselves for cultivation.

It only became a site for potential Celestial Masters and those of the Celestial Phenomena Realm to seek enlightenment in the absence of a Celestial Master.

“Celestial Master…”

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

He carefully felt his own strength.

After becoming a Celestial Master, Lin Yuan had first rushed to handle the Myriad Demons Sect.

Then he had rescued Changqing, which meant it was only now that he had time to experience the power of a Celestial Master.

Firstly, it was his lifespan; based on the power of Taiyin Wuji Taiyang Wuji, after becoming a Celestial Master, Lin Yuan vaguely felt that his lifespan had skyrocketed to five hundred years.

You should know, the lifespan of previous Celestial Masters was only about two hundred years.

Lin Yuan’s lifespan was more than double that of previous Celestial Masters.

Combining both Taiyin and Taiyang indeed made him much stronger than Celestial Masters who focused solely on Taiyin or Taiyang.

This was not only evident in combat power but also clearly reflected in lifespan.

“Five hundred years!”

Lin Yuan was profoundly stirred.

You see, this was the basic lifespan.

This meant that without any external aids, Lin Yuan could live for five hundred years.

If he were to return to the Cosmic Human Alliance, combined with various cutting-edge biotechnologies, Lin Yuan estimated he could live for over two thousand years.

The essence of a lifespan limit comes from the failure of various organs, but in the Cosmic Human Alliance, it was entirely possible to cultivate new organs to replace the decayed old ones.

This was also why the first-layer Evolvers could easily live for four to five hundred years.

Of course, replacing organs could only prolong life; with the passage of time, the soul’s consciousness of living beings would gradually weaken, and then, no matter how many organs were replaced, it wouldn’t be very helpful.

However, the strength of the soul’s consciousness depends on the strength of the realm; the stronger the being, the stronger its consciousness.

“My current strength, according to the rankings of the Human Alliance, would be roughly equivalent to the second layer ninth stage,”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In this world’s cultivation system, the Celestial Phenomena Realm roughly corresponded to the second-layer Evolvers of the Human Alliance.

Specifically ranging from the second layer first stage to the second stage.

As for a Celestial Master, it would be between second layer fourth stage and sixth stage.

Since Lin Yuan entered the rank of Celestial Master rooted in both Taiyin and Taiyang, his strength far surpassed that of previous Celestial Masters, thus positioning him at the second layer ninth stage.

Do not underestimate the gap of just a few stages; the Cosmic Human Alliance’s ranking is extremely standard, even a difference of one stage can mean nearly double the internal energy capacity.

“Still sixty-one years of residence time left.”

Lin Yuan glanced at the virtual text below his line of sight.

[Name: Zhang Shanfeng (Lin Yuan)]

[Identity: Holder of the Myriad Realms Gate]

[Bound Talent: Against-Heaven’s Understanding]

[Current Status: Consciousness Descent]

[Remaining Residence Time: Sixty years and eleven months]

 

This time traveling through, Lin Yuan’s residence time reached eighty years.

Apart from the first ten years and the more than nine years of becoming a Celestial Master seed,

a total of nineteen years and one month had passed.

“There’s still plenty of time.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Compared to the twenty years of residence time during his first travel, this time the residence duration was considerably more generous.

“Perhaps, as my strength increases, the residence time for each travel will extend?”

Lin Yuan speculated in his heart.

 

Having sensed his own condition, Lin Yuan’s mind slightly stirred.

The True Martial Sword hung in the air, stopping in front of Lin Yuan.

“Go back.”

Lin Yuan reached out to touch the sword’s hilt, whispering softly.

After stepping into the realm of Heavenly Master, the power of Taiyin and Taiyang within the True Martial Sword offered virtually no assistance to Lin Yuan.

Thus, Lin Yuan planned to let it return to the Sword Tomb and continue its slumber.

“Go.”

Lin Yuan patted the sword’s hilt, and the True Martial Sword, with a ‘swoosh’ sound, turned into a sword light and went back into the Sword Tomb.

Shortly after sending away the True Martial Sword,

Master Cang Qing respectfully walked in.

“Heavenly Master.”

Master Cang Qing inquired, “I wonder how the Celestial Master’s Sword should be crafted, what requirements do you have, Heavenly Master?”

In the Celestial Master Mansion, every generation’s Celestial Master would possess their own Celestial Master’s Sword.

The Celestial Master’s Sword is also a symbol of each generation’s Heavenly Master; even if a Heavenly Master passed away, the sword he left behind could still represent him.

The journey to the Sword Tomb, which happens every twenty years at the Celestial Master Mansion, would occasionally see the sword of a past Celestial Master fly out.

The disciple recognized by the Celestial Master’s Sword would receive the full support of the Celestial Master Mansion’s training.

“The Celestial Master’s Sword…”

Lin Yuan fell into brief contemplation.

He had no special requirement for his own Celestial Master’s Sword, as long as it was of a normal sword shape.

“Do you need anything engraved on the hilt or the blade?”

Master Cang Qing reminded.

Typically, every generation’s Heavenly Master would have their signature engraved on the Celestial Master’s Sword.

This signature could be characters, a pattern, or even a painting.

After all, the swordsmiths of the Celestial Master Mansion were highly skilled, so this was no issue.

“Engraved…”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, “My name is Zhang Shanfeng, so let’s engrave a mountain peak on the Celestial Master’s Sword.”

“No problem.”

Master Cang Qing agreed immediately.

This wasn’t a difficult task.

“Wait a moment.”

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something.

The name Zhang Shanfeng was given by his parents.

They originally wanted him to protect the entire Zhang Family Fort like a mountain peak.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan’s parents had already been dead for nearly twenty years.

“Add two more mountain peaks.”

Lin Yuan changed his mind, “Engrave three mountain peaks on the Celestial Master’s Sword.”

“Three mountain peaks?”

Master Cang Qing was slightly startled.

“Three peaks?”

 

Several days later.

The swordsmith of the Celestial Master Mansion delivered the newly crafted Celestial Master’s Sword.

The reason for such speed was that every generation in the Celestial Master Mansion had their own swordsmith craft the embryo of the Celestial Master’s Sword in advance.

As soon as a new Celestial Master was born, they could craft the complete Celestial Master’s Sword in the shortest time.

“Indeed, it’s a fine sword.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the ‘three mountain peaks’ engraved on the blade.

Of course, the good sword Lin Yuan referred to was in comparison to ordinary swords.

The most special aspect of the Celestial Master’s Sword was that it was imbued with the Heavenly Master’s energy over a long period, which gave it a certain level of sentience.

Even inside the Celestial Master’s Sword, there remained power left by a corresponding Heavenly Master, and future disciples could hope to draw out this power to fight their enemies.

When Master Cang Qing fought the Wan Mo Men’s Sect Master, he had used the power of the Celestial Master within the sword.

“It’s almost time to go down the mountain.”

Lin Yuan picked up his own Celestial Master’s Sword, left the True Martial Dao Zang, and descended Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Twenty years ago, the Zhang Family Fort was destroyed, several years ago Changqing was possessed by demonic Qi, and not long ago, the Myriad Demons Sect besieged Dragon Tiger Mountain.

New grudges and old hatreds could not be settled just by Lin Yuan killing the Wan Mo Men’s Sect Master and several thousand members of the Demon Crowd.
