Creating Heavenly Laws

A few days later.

Lin Yuan was still cultivating.

He was dragged out of his room by his mother, Shen Zhen.

"Chang'er, I'm taking you to a good place."

Mother Shen Zhen said mysteriously.

"A good place?"

Lin Yuan felt quite helpless in his heart.

Soon.

The two of them came outside.

His expression was full of seriousness.

"This time, we are going to the Martial Temple."

"Chang'er, when you get there, you must not fool around."

Lin Jianping cautioned.

Although the martial cultivation system does not have as much influence as the immortal cultivation system, in Xiaoyao City, the Martial Temple is the supreme authority, overseeing everything and commanding all.

Even in the entire Xuan King Domain, the Martial Temple is one of the most powerful forces under the Daoist Immortal Sect. Several martial seventh rank experts have combat strength comparable to ordinary true immortals in the Dao Fusion rank.

"Martial Temple?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He had long speculated that the Martial Temple was probably established by his former disciples, like Li Qing and others.

The purpose was to ensure the inheritance of the martial cultivation system.

In the center of Xiaoyao City.

There stood the majestic Xiaoyao Mountain.

This was the location of the Martial Temple, the most central place in the entire Xiaoyao City.

The few martial seventh rank experts who founded the Martial Temple often fought for the Daoist Immortal Sect. The strongest within the temple was only a martial sixth rank expert, but that was enough to overlook the entire Xiaoyao City.

Xiaoyao City was among the top hundred out of tens of thousands of cities in the Xuan King Domain.

This was due to the existence of the Martial Temple.

At this moment.

A spirit ship flew near.

Lin Jianping, Lin Yuan, and others stepped out.

"Sir of the Martial Temple, my son wants to go in and experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance." Lin Jianping took out a token.

It was bronze in color, with the word 'Martial' inscribed on it.

"Go in."

At the entrance of Xiaoyao Mountain, several guards glanced at the token and opened the formation.

Seeing this, Lin Jianping thanked them again and led Lin Yuan and Shen Zhen inside.

"Another one using connections."

The guards sneered after Lin Jianping and the other two disappeared.

Since the establishment of Xiaoyao City, many people had come to experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance at intervals.

Among these people, very few were invited by the Martial Temple due to their outstanding martial talents to experience the divine radiance.

But most came to 'benefit' from the divine radiance.

The higher-ups of the Martial Temple did not intervene because, firstly, it could bring some income to the temple, and secondly, it did not affect them.

After the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor was activated, it enveloped the area for a fixed time, prioritizing those with outstanding martial talents.

After they had finished, it was the turn of the others.

"Using connections also requires some strength." Another guard sighed.

"Experiencing the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance and indirectly receiving guidance from a martial expert on par with true immortals—wouldn't you want that?"

The guard shook his head and said.

"Of course, I would."

The first guard who spoke was silent for a moment but then spoke honestly.

Guidance from a powerful figure was too important.

Especially the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor, which not only provided guidance but also determined which aspect of martial arts the experiencer excelled in.

Xiaoyao Mountain.

As far as Lin Yuan could see, this was an extremely vast mountain, with traces of aura filling every inch of the air. It was clear that any outsider daring to intrude would be suppressed by the forces from all directions in the first instant.

"Using martial arts methods combined with immortal formations is interesting."

Lin Yuan only took a glance and saw through the essence of Xiaoyao Mountain.

"Chang'er, don't look around." Lin Jianping glanced at Lin Yuan and quickly reminded him.

Inside Xiaoyao Mountain, Martial Temple big shots could pass by at any moment. If any of them were offended by Lin Yuan's gaze, wouldn't it be a disaster?

The few of them followed the path and soon arrived at a teleportation array.

Xiaoyao Mountain was too vast, and to reach the Martial Temple at the top, it would take at least half a day, so there were usually teleportation arrays at the foot of the mountain.

Buzz.

Under the guidance of a Martial Temple disciple.

The three of them stepped into the teleportation array and instantly reached the top of the mountain.

"There are quite a few people."

Shen Zhen curiously looked around.

She found that many people were gathered in small groups, talking in low voices.

Not far away, a huge wall stood; this was the place where the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor would be activated.

But it was currently closed, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Many people come to experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance. Xiaoyao City is so large, and many clans and forces send their children over when it is activated."

Lin Jianping said in a low voice.

The Lin family was only somewhat famous in Xiaoyao City and far from being comparable to the real big players.

Letting Lin Yuan experience the Martial Ancestor's divine radiance cost the Lin family most of its wealth, but for those big players, every time it was activated, they would send a group of people to experience it.

Lin Yuan listened from the side.

Most of his attention was on the huge wall.

"Martial Ancestor's divine radiance?"

Lin Yuan had a guess. Before he left the Central Divine State, he had left seven statues, each inscribed with his insights into martial arts.

While Lin Yuan was contemplating.

The large door in the center of the huge wall in the distance slowly opened.

An old man in a black robe walked out.

"The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor is about to envelop. Those whose names are called, go in and experience it."

The black-robed old man said succinctly.

"Ouyang Song."

The black-robed old man continued.

"It's me."

A young man stood up and walked into the door.

"Feel it well." The black-robed old man showed an appreciative look and reminded him.

"Ouyang Song?"

"Is he the one known as the greatest martial talent in Xiaoyao City in the past fifty years?"

"I heard that Ouyang Song has comprehended the power of thunder, which is known for its killing strength." The crowd murmured in low voices.

Most of them had come through connections, their martial talents far inferior to Ouyang Song's.

At the top of Xiaoyao Mountain.

In another place.

Several figures were sitting cross-legged, watching the area covered by the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.

"I hope this time the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor can add a few talents to our Martial Temple."

The leading figure sighed and said slowly.

"The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor contains the understanding of martial arts from three ancestors and the interpretation of the Martial Ancestor. Any cultivator who practices martial arts will gain something from experiencing it."

Another figure said.

"The Martial Ancestor..."

The other figures' expressions became slightly solemn at these words.

They had heard of the Martial Ancestor's name from the three martial seventh rank ancestors.

The current scale of the martial cultivation system was due to the negotiations between the Martial Ancestor and a true immortal from the Daoist Immortal Sect.

However—

None of the martial cultivators in the Martial Temple had ever seen the Martial Ancestor.

In the square below.

Those who had come through connections to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor began to chat while waiting.

"This divine radiance is left by the three martial experts on par with true immortals from the Martial Temple, but actually, it originates from the Martial Ancestor."

"That's right, otherwise why call it the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor?"

"The Martial Ancestor? I've heard the name but never any specific deeds. I thought it was made up. Is there really such a person?"

"Hahaha, I know a bit. The three martial experts on par with true immortals in the current Martial Temple ascended from the lower realm."

"And the Martial Ancestor is their master in the lower realm."

"The master of three true immortals? Then what level is the Martial Ancestor now?"

"Not sure. After ascending, the three martial seventh rank experts searched for the Martial Ancestor but found nothing."

"Maybe the Martial Ancestor didn't ascend, or perhaps he did but is trapped somewhere. The spirit realm is vast with many dangerous places; it's too normal."

Many discussions ensued.

Lin Jianping remained silent.

"The Martial Ancestor is an extraordinary being." After a long while, Lin Jianping spoke.

"You don't know the Martial Ancestor. How do you know they are extraordinary?" Shen Zhen rolled her eyes at Lin Jianping.

"You don't understand." Lin Jianping shook his head.

"The Martial Ancestor?" Lin Yuan listened from the side.

"Three martial seventh rank experts? Is it Li Qing? And other disciples?"

Lin Yuan thought. He had established the White Jade Pavilion and taken in hundreds of disciples, personally teaching martial arts.

But those with the potential to reach the seventh rank were few.

At another place on the mountaintop.

Several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple were watching the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.

The martial genius Ouyang Song sat cross-legged, experiencing the divine radiance emanating from the seven statues, his expression constantly changing.

After a while.

The leftmost statue emitted three parts of its radiance.

The martial genius Ouyang Song suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath.

"Not bad. This statue represents the Dao of Slaughter. Three parts radiance is excellent. Xiaoyao City hasn't seen such talent in a hundred years."

The leading figure nodded and commented.

The seven statues represented different martial paths and could help the experiencers choose their future path.

The emitted radiance tested the experiencer's compatibility with martial arts. Three parts radiance was considered rare.

"Ouyang Song can be accepted as an inner disciple and given focused training."

Another figure spoke.

"An inner disciple? That's acceptable."

"If he had reached four parts radiance, he could have been made a core disciple."

"What a pity."

"An inner disciple is still good, with the potential to reach the fourth rank of martial arts in the future."

After some discussion, they made a decision.

Next.

One by one, martial talents experienced the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.

In the end, three were accepted as inner disciples of the Martial Temple, one became a core disciple, and six became ordinary disciples.

With that.

The divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor came to an end.

As for the rest waiting in line to experience it? They were mostly those who came through connections and whose talents did not meet the criteria to join the Martial Temple.

However, the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor was unique; even those without martial talent could benefit from it.

There were no barriers to experiencing the divine radiance; even immortal cultivators could experience it.

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

"Hurry up in front; the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor is about to extinguish."

Those who came through connections began to urge.

They did not dare to speak when the martial talents were experiencing the divine radiance, as even a word could get them expelled from the Martial Temple.

But now, with only those using connections left, they wanted the process to go faster.

On the other side of the mountaintop.

Several high-ranking members of the Martial Temple watched patiently for a while.

Then they lost interest.

Those using connections to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor rarely had compatibility above one part.

"The ancestor said that all living beings have the qualification to cultivate martial arts." A figure muttered to himself.

This was why they allowed those using connections to experience the divine radiance.

Just because you were not a martial talent did not mean you should be deprived of the Martial Ancestor's guidance.

In the square below.

Soon it was Lin Yuan's turn to experience the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor.

"Son, don't feel pressured, just experience it casually." Shen Zhen encouraged Lin Yuan.

"Experience it casually?"

Lin Jianping's mouth twitched. This was a chance he had spent most of their wealth to obtain.

But to avoid making Lin Yuan nervous, Lin Jianping still said, "Your mother is right, don't feel any pressure."

"Got it."

Lin Yuan nodded and walked into the door.

Buzz.

The seven statues emitted a faint divine radiance.

The black-robed old man stood beside them.

"Sit here and close your eyes to feel it." The black-robed old man said calmly, his tone showing no fluctuation, obviously having said it countless times.

"Sit here?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the seven statues, his brow furrowing slightly.

Because he had no idea how to feel it.

Others would find the divine radiance full of mysteries.

But to Lin Yuan, the divine radiance was something he had played with centuries ago.

It was like a PhD student solving elementary school problems—they could see the answer at a glance, what was there to ponder?

"How to feel it?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and still asked.

"Just close your eyes, and the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor will naturally resonate with you."

The black-robed old man patiently explained.

"Alright then."

Lin Yuan followed the instructions and sat before the statues.

Buzz.

The omnipresent divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor quickly enveloped Lin Yuan and began to resonate with him.

However.

The next moment.

The seven statues simultaneously halted.

Even the omnipresent divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor abruptly solidified.

"What?"

The black-robed old man, who was thinking Lin Yuan should finish quickly so the next person could come, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.

Rumble.

With the initial halt, the seven statues emitted radiance together, twelve parts radiance from each statue.

Strands of the divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor continuously swirled around Lin Yuan, as if commanded, converging at his feet.

"You, which divine radiance of the Martial Ancestor did you feel?"

The black-robed old man trembled, looking at Lin Yuan like a deity, and instinctively asked.

"Which divine radiance?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the black-robed old man.

He did not speak.

I am the Martial Ancestor.

What divine radiance is there to feel?
