Chapter 332
🕑 Added 2024-10-27 05:00:01 +0000 UTC"Two hundred million merit points, with one hundred million from the bloodline cultivation path?" Lin Yuan was a bit surprised. The value of the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter being one hundred million merit points, although unexpected, was still within reason.
But the bloodline cultivation path? This type of cultivation was limited by the bloodline ceiling, and its practitioners could only reach the seventh rank, unable to develop their inner world independently.
It was valued the same as the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter?
"Is it because of its universality?" Lin Yuan guessed. The Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter was aimed at those following the Martial Path cultivation system and was useful only to those who had reached the ninth rank.
How many ninth-rank evolvers were there in human civilization? Although there were many ninth ranks in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, that included all life forms from across the universe.
Among the major peak clans, powerful races, special beings, and lone wanderers, ninth-rank evolvers were rare when spread across individual clans. Even in the entire universe, there were only a few.
But the bloodline cultivation path, though a branch of the Martial Path system, could be practiced independently.
Just like the body refinement lineage in the Immortal World, not only could the disciples of the Daoist Immortal Sect practice it, but so could demonic cultivators and evil cultivators.
"Even with such universality, it shouldn't be worth a hundred million," Lin Yuan was still puzzled, considering he didn't create the bloodline cultivation path from scratch.
Human civilization had long had bloodline evolution families, but their methods of refining and using bloodlines were less perfect than Lin Yuan's summarized bloodline cultivation path.
One hundred million merit points are nearly equivalent to the total merit points required by two eighth-level citizens. Eighth-level citizens were far rarer than ninth-rank evolvers in human civilization.
"It must be influenced by other factors," Lin Yuan speculated.
He didn't know that the three goddesses initially valued the bloodline cultivation path at fifty million merit points, but the Supreme Beings had insisted on raising it to one hundred million, to support Lin Yuan's growth.
As long as Lin Yuan remained a human evolver, giving him more merit points was no loss to the civilization.
"I now have a total of two hundred million and eight hundred thousand merit points?" Lin Yuan was pleased. Two hundred million were from his recent gains.
The remaining eight hundred thousand came from three hundred thousand left over after advancing to an eighth-level citizen and five hundred thousand from killing many ninth-rank aliens in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
Though he only killed their clones, those were still ninth-rank alien clones, nearly as valuable as completely killing an eighth-rank alien, especially with one being Huny, a special ninth rank.
"Unfortunately, after I killed Huny, the enemy ninth-rank aliens of human civilization gave up many opportunities in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm and hid in some corner," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm was vast, much larger than the world of gods, with space layers far exceeding a trillion. If those ninth-rank aliens intended to hide, Lin Yuan would have to conduct a thorough search to find them, which would be a huge waste of time.
Even with over 2 billion space layers, Lin Yuan's full-scale search during the century-long opening of the secret realm would cover only about one ten-thousandth of its area.
"Forget it. Finding the source of that calling is more important," Lin Yuan shifted his focus back to the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.
At this moment, his Sun Primordial Spirit was rapidly heading towards the core area, making a significant commotion and occasionally attracting native life forms, which he dealt with while collecting 'Mysterious Emperor Crystals.'
In the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, apart from human civilization evolvers and allies, no ninth-rank dared approach Lin Yuan due to his overwhelming power.
No other ninth-rank had ever caused such a stir in the secret realm, making peak clans' ninth ranks retreat without a fight and abandon many opportunities.
"Let's check the current ranking of the Martial Path evolution method," Lin Yuan thought.
When the Martial Path evolution method was still at the eighth rank, it topped the Red Kun Star Domain evolution list, the Annan Star Alliance evolution list, and outperformed numerous ninth-rank evolution methods in the Annan Star Alliance.
Now that the Martial Path evolution method had reached the ninth rank, with just the Martial Path Ninth-Rank Chapter valued at one hundred million merit points by the three goddesses, and with the bloodline cultivation path as a branch, Lin Yuan was eager to see its ranking.
"The first in Canglan Star, first in Red Kun Star Domain, first in Annan Star Alliance, and fifty-third in the Southern Star Region?" Lin Yuan glanced at the latest ranking information for the Martial Path evolution method.
"Fifty-third in the Southern Star Region evolution list?" Lin Yuan saw a virtual screen before him, listing the Southern Star Region evolution method rankings from top to bottom.
The Southern Star Region, one of human civilization's five major star regions, spanned light-years and had birthed countless evolution scholars, ninth-rank evolvers, tenth-rank evolvers, and eleventh-rank evolvers.
Ranking in the Southern Star Region evolution list meant the Martial Path evolution method was among the top human evolution methods with immense influence. When it was at the eighth rank, it didn't qualify for the Southern Star Region evolution list.
"Some eleventh-rank evolution methods are ranked below the Martial Path evolution method?" Lin Yuan marveled.
He had underestimated the true potential of the Martial Path evolution method. Ranking above eleventh-rank evolution methods was extraordinary, given that eleventh-rank evolution methods typically offered a stable path to the eleventh rank, even if they had no further potential.
"It seems the three goddesses determined the Martial Path evolution method has potential to evolve into a supreme evolution method," Lin Yuan thought.
This alone could explain the high ranking of the Martial Path evolution method. Many eleventh-rank methods had exhausted their potential, with no hope of evolving into supreme methods, making this the only way for the Martial Path to surpass them.
"Supreme evolution method," Lin Yuan's heart raced.
This was the ultimate aspiration for countless beings. Decades ago, a supreme being's corpse from an alien battlefield caused a massive struggle among the strongest beings of the main universe, all for the potential it held.
This illustrated the rarity of supreme evolution methods.
Lin Yuan continued to scan the human civilization evolution list.
The human civilization evolution list was the most authoritative, recording the top 100 evolution methods in human history, including nine supreme methods.
"Not in the top 100," Lin Yuan wasn't surprised.
The human civilization evolution list included only methods with immense potential, many of which had hope of evolving into supreme methods. Despite its vast potential, the Martial Path evolution method was still a ninth-rank method, and it would be unusual for it to be on the list.
After uploading the Martial Path evolution method and earning a significant number of merit points, Lin Yuan took out the mysterious gourd.
"Next, I need to quickly restore my inner world to nearly 200M miles in radius," Lin Yuan planned.
Before his ninth transmigration, Lin Yuan had absorbed only up to the fifth drop of liquid from the mysterious gourd, making his inner world about 160M miles in size.
Now, his inner world was close to 200M miles in radius.
Though it seemed only an increase of about thirty million miles in size, combined with over 2 billion space layers, the increase was enormous.
Each space layer in his inner world, theoretically no smaller than the main space, added thirty million miles. Multiplied by over 2 billion space layers, even if a single space layer's power was far less than the main space, the sheer number made up for it.
"The inner worlds of my two primordial spirits can wait until the Sun Primordial Spirit returns," Lin Yuan prioritized restoring his true body's full strength first.
Whether the Sun Primordial Spirit fully recovered its strength made little difference, as the ninth-rank experts in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm had known upper limits.
Whether the Sun Primordial Spirit had one billion or eight hundred million in power, there was no significant difference.
In the virtual world of the Annan Star Alliance, at the central square.
Evolvers and high-level citizens continually appeared, looking at the towering evolution list and the Martial Path evolution method at the top, still showing awe.
Decades ago, when the Martial Path evolution method first appeared on the Annan evolution list, it shocked many strong individuals by directly topping the list.
Other evolution methods struggled to rise even one or two ranks, but the Martial Path evolution method jumped over a hundred ranks to top the Annan evolution list.
Such an incredible rise had never occurred since the Annan Star Alliance was established.
"I heard the Martial Path evolution method comes from the Red Kun Star Domain, where it also topped the evolution list quickly."
"Can the Red Kun Star Domain compare to our Annan Star Alliance? But indeed, the Martial Path evolution method is formidable. None of our many ninth-rank evolution methods could surpass it?"
"While you doubted the Martial Path evolution method, I had my descendants start practicing it. Given its potential, it might evolve into a ninth-rank evolution method."
Evolvers and high-level citizens discussed, focusing on the Martial Path evolution method. It shone so brightly that other methods seemed dim in comparison.
Fortunately, the method's creator was a mysterious human evolution scholar, making it acceptable.
After all, evolution scholars represented the depth of human civilization, with a minimum requirement of being an eighth-rank evolver. Many had reached the tenth or eleventh rank.
"I wonder when the mysterious evolution scholar will update the ninth-rank chapter of the Martial Path evolution method?" A high-level citizen spoke with anticipation.
"I think it's unlikely."
"Many said it was unlikely before the sixth, seventh, and eighth chapters were updated."
"It's different. The ninth chapter isn't like the previous ones."
Opinions varied among the evolvers and high-level citizens.
"Fools, still doubting the Martial Path evolution method's update speed?" In a corner of the central square sat a small man.
He came from the Red Kun Star Domain and had witnessed the rise of the Martial Path evolution method firsthand, knowing it defied conventional logic.
"The Martial Path evolution method... it's a pity I've already set my foundation. Switching to the Martial Path evolution method would cost too much," the small man lamented.
He refreshed the detailed information of the Martial Path evolution method to review the seventh and eighth chapters. Though he didn't practice the Martial Path, he bought all chapters from the first to the eighth.
Even if it wasn't his core evolution method, he could still use it for supplementary practice.
"Hmm?"
As the small man refreshed the detailed information, he was stunned to see an addition after the eighth chapter.
The ninth chapter.
"The Martial Path evolution method has updated to the ninth chapter?" The small man was shocked. Looking around, he saw many still debating, while a few others had also noticed the update, showing varied reactions.
"The ninth-rank evolution method." The small man's thoughts raced. With the ninth chapter update, the Martial Path evolution method officially entered the ninth-rank category.
"The Annan evolution list is still topped by the Martial Path evolution method," the small man looked at the evolution list, noting its unchanged position.
The Martial Path topped the list even at the eighth rank, and now with the ninth chapter, the Annan list couldn't reflect its enhanced potential.
"Southern Star Region evolution list," the small man opened the Southern Star Region list with a mix of emotions.
"Fifty-third?" The small man was silent. The Southern Star Region included numerous areas like the Annan Star Alliance, with its list featuring the top evolution methods, mostly at the tenth and eleventh ranks.
For the Martial Path to jump to fifty-third?
Despite his high regard for the Martial Path, the small man wondered if there was an error in the ranking.
Meanwhile, as time passed, other evolvers and high-level citizens also discovered the update and the final ranking of the Martial Path evolution method.
