Chapter 106
🕑 Added 2024-03-20 05:00:02 +0000 UTCThe Red Kun Lineage, with its twelve peak masters, stands high above, overlooking the entire Red Kun Star Domain.
Even among the many surrounding star domains, the Red Kun Lineage is extremely dominant. The strength of the Red Kun Star Lord is formidable, even among other star lords.
As long as Fang Qing can be accepted as a disciple by one of the peak masters, he can at least roam freely within the Red Kun Star Domain. What Fang Qing doesn't know is that the peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage are no longer twelve, but thirteen.
However, the fact that Lin Yuan became the thirteenth disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord has not been made public yet; only the Star Lord and the twelve peak masters know.
Lin Yuan estimates that even if it were to be made public before reaching Rank 6, it would not be under the identity of "Lin Yuan."
"Oh right. Brother Lin, how did your test go?" Fang Qing curiously asked. He had been too preoccupied with expressing his excitement and had forgotten to ask about Lin Yuan's progress in the test.
"I didn't pass" Lin Yuan said calmly. With his identity as the peak master of the thirteenth peak, it was impossible for him to "acknowledge" Fang Qing in the early stages.
It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't trust Fang Qing. Well, actually, Lin Yuan doesn't fully trust Fang Qing. It's not about doubting Fang Qing's loyalty but rather about certain information that should not be shared.
A Rank 6 Soul Illusion-type evolver can roughly browse through someone's memories with just a glance, so caution is necessary.
Even the Red Kun Star Lord has repeatedly reminded Lin Yuan about this matter, so Lin Yuan naturally knows what to do. He won't even tell his parents, let alone Fang Qing, anything.
However, Lin Yuan is only hiding this aspect of his identity; he still enjoys many benefits as a peak master. The numerous evolution paths recorded by the Red Kun Lineage?
These are pathways that members of the Red Kun Lineage need to pay a price to access, but as a peak master, Lin Yuan can browse them freely.
"Rank 6?" Lin Yuan's gaze remained calm. If it were before participating in the Seven-Star Cave test, Lin Yuan might have had doubts about reaching Rank 6. But now, Lin Yuan is almost certain that he can advance to Rank 6.
With over a hundred Rank 6 evolution paths, sixt paths surpassing Rank 6, and the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path that has never been comprehended by evolvers in thousands of years, these are all significant advantages for Lin Yuan.
After chatting for a while, Fang Qing left. On his way back to his own mansion, Fang Qing looked puzzled.
"How could Brother Lin not pass the test?"
To be honest, Fang Qing would rather believe that he himself didn't pass the test than believe that Lin Yuan couldn't pass it.
After all, after these days of interaction and sparring, Fang Qing feels that even if he were to train diligently for another hundred years, he might not be able to catch up to Lin Yuan now.
Such talent would shine brightly even in the entire Red Kun Star Domain, so how could it be possible that he couldn't pass the Seven-Star Cave test?
"It is indeed strange," the white-bearded old man's voice rang out.
"But it's not impossible."
The white-bearded old man analyzed seriously. "In the history of the Seven-Star Cave test, apart from the Crimson Marks, and a few special testers, even Golden Marks have been eliminated in rare cases."
Of course, the probability of a Golden Marks being eliminated midway through the test is extremely low, but it's not impossible. If one's luck is too bad and they die in the early stages of the test, they are naturally eliminated.
"There is another possibility," the white-bearded old man continued. "That is, Lin Yuan intentionally did not pass the Seven-Star Cave test."
"Intentionally not pass the test?" Fang Qing's eyes widened. Who would reject such a good opportunity?
"Fang kid," the white-bearded old man glanced at Fang Qing. "Being accepted as a disciple by a peak master of the Red Kun Lineage has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks."
"In addition to receiving the protection of the peak master, you must also serve the Red Kun Lineage, obey the orders of the peak master, and even have the possibility of going to battlefields against other races," the white-bearded old man said.
In general, the Red Kun Star Lord is always in seclusion and does not deal with mundane matters. The entire Red Kun Lineage mostly serves the twelve peak masters.
At the Central Mansion on the mainland:
In the underground training ground beneath the main building, Lin Yuan sits cross-legged, beginning to continue comprehending the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path.
This evolution path is too profound and vast. Lin Yuan has been comprehending it for nearly ten days, but has only understood about one percent of the first-rank section.
Far surpassing all the evolution paths Lin Yuan has encountered before.
"Mysterious Yellow?" Lin Yuan's mind sinks entirely into it.
In a trance, Lin Yuan finds himself on an endless land.
A heavy, ancient, and vast atmosphere envelops him.
[Your Unrivaled Insight is increasing as you comprehend the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path.]
Lin Yuan is increasingly shocked as he comprehends under his extraordinary insight.
"What kind of existence is this, creating such an evolution path? Can my martial arts evolution path, my Tao of Tai Chi, one day reach this level?"
Two days later.
Lin Yuan stopped comprehending.
"Only two percent?" Lin Yuan roughly sensed the progress of his comprehension. This two percent doesn't refer to two percent of the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path.
But rather two percent of the first-rank section of the Mysterious Yellow evolution path.
"No rush, I have plenty of time now," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
A Rank 4 evolver can live for six thousand years, while a Rank 6 evolver can live anywhere from twenty thousand to fifty thousand years.
Lin Yuan is still young, only twenty years old. In the face of such long lifespans, he's barely even considered an infant.
Moreover—
Lin Yuan's time is far more than just the surface numbers.
The transmigrations through the Gateway of the Myriad Realms and the passage of time in other worlds are not included.
"Rank 4, Stage 11."
Several days later, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, and his aura rose once more.
The breakthrough in strength did not surprise Lin Yuan; with his comprehension of multiple evolution paths, if he couldn't break through, it would be better to just die.
Inhale.
Exhale.
After the breakthrough, Lin Yuan's realm improved, and his body naturally began to absorb the energy in the air, slowly undergoing transformation.
"Calculating the time, it should be a little over a month before the escort team arrives."
Lin Yuan didn't rush to purchase rare cosmic treasures to facilitate his physical transformation.
As a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord and the thirteenth peak master of the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan has the authority to apply for "Red Spirit Liquid."
This time, as the escort team departed from the Red Kun Main Star, Lin Yuan had applied in advance for a pot of Red Spirit Liquid to be brought over by the escort team.
One to two months later.
Outside the Canglan Star.
A dark-colored spacecraft came to a stop.
"We've finally reached our destination."
Inside the spacecraft's cockpit sat thirteen figures.
These thirteen figures exuded a deep aura, especially the one in the lead, whose presence seemed to solidify the surroundings.
"We've come this time to protect the thirteenth peak master."
"If anything happens to the thirteenth peak master, there's no need for us to continue existing, understand?"
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a bald head, gazing at the distant Canglan Star as he spoke slowly.
"Understood."
The twelve figures behind him all spoke in unison.
They were carefully selected by the Red Kun Star Lord and were absolutely loyal; otherwise, they wouldn't be serving as the thirteenth peak master's personal guards.
At the Central Mansion.
Just as Lin Yuan finished his cultivation, he received news of the escort team's arrival.
"Goddess of Wisdom, I have subordinates who need to enter the Canglan Star."
Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom and spoke directly.
Planets like Canglan Star strictly forbid entry to Rank 6 lifeforms.
After all, Rank 6 lifeforms, also known as "Falling Star Level" beings, if they enter with ill intentions and erupt suddenly, even the planetary defense system won't have time to react.
It would result in a catastrophe.
Therefore, every Rank 6 lifeform needs to report before landing on a planet. Otherwise, once discovered, it would lead to a sector-wide wanted alert.
After going through multiple authorizations by the Goddess of Wisdom, Lin Yuan's escort team finally passed the checkpoint and arrived outside the Central Mansion.
In the main hall.
The thirteen members of the escort team stood respectfully in front of Lin Yuan.
"Peak Master."
The bald-headed middle-aged man at the front bowed and saluted.
"Peak Master."
The other twelve fifth-rank guards behind him also saluted respectfully.
"You may rise."
Lin Yuan curiously looked at the bald-headed middle-aged man. He should be the captain of the guard, a sixth-rank evolver.
To be honest, this is the first time Lin Yuan has seen a sixth-rank existence up close.
"What's your name?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"Peak Master, my name is Hou Ming."
The bald-headed middle-aged man said softly.
Next.
Lin Yuan asked for the names of the other twelve guards one by one.
"From now on, you will be the guardians of this mansion."
"Unless absolutely necessary, do not reveal your true strength."
After some contemplation, Lin Yuan gave his instructions.
With his current status, even if his identity as a disciple of the Red Kun Star Lord is not publicly known, he is still the champion of the arena and a Rank 4 evolver. Having some guards is quite normal.
Of course, this is only limited to normal guards.
If others were to find out that the guards Lin Yuan hired were fifth or sixth-rank evolvers...
Currently on the Canglan Star, the strongest evolvers are only fifth-rank, numbering no more than five.
These fifth-rank evolvers can only be fully mobilized by the Goddess of Wisdom.
As for sixth-rank evolvers, the Canglan Star, being a medium-level life planet, cannot attract evolvers of this rank.
"Also, from now on, don't call me Peak Master. Just call me Mr. Lin."
Lin Yuan said.
Although the title of Peak Master is difficult to associate with the peak masters of the Red Kun Lineage, as long as these thirteen guards do not reveal their true strength, there shouldn't be a problem.
But for some things, it's better not to leave any traces.
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
Hou Ming, the bald-headed middle-aged man, immediately said.
"From now on, I will be stationed in the main hall, and the others will patrol the mansion."
Hou Ming inquired.
"No problem."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Since the Red Kun Star Lord has assigned them to be Lin Yuan's escort team, it's clear that there's some level of trust. So, Lin Yuan tries not to intervene too much in how they protect and arrange things.
"This is the Red Spirit Liquid Mr. Lin requested."
Hou Ming took out a pot-shaped container.
"These are the life-saving command tokens given to Mr. Lin by the Star Lord."
Hou Ming's expression was solemn as he presented three crimson tokens.
"Okay."
Lin Yuan put it away.
"We'll leave now."
Immediately, the bald-headed middle-aged man Hou Ming led the twelve guards out of the main hall.
In the underground training ground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In front of him was a pot-shaped container containing "Red Spirit Liquid."
"Red Spirit Liquid"
Lin Yuan's face showed anticipation.
Third Senior Brother spoke highly of this kind of spirit fluid.
However, since Red Spirit Liquid is unique to the Red Kun Lineage, Lin Yuan has never tried its effects.
"Let's give it a try."
Lin Yuan opened the mouth of the pot, and a drop of Red Spirit Liquid floated out.
This drop of Red Spirit Liquid emitted a red light, and Lin Yuan could feel the immense energy contained within just by looking at it.
"Here we go."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly.
The drop of Red Spirit Liquid flew into his mouth.
Boom.
As the fluid entered his throat, it immediately turned into scorching energy, being absorbed by every cell in Lin Yuan's body.
Although Red Spirit Liquid is named after "red" its energy attributes are extremely gentle, lacking the fiery and impetuous nature of fire energy.
Not to mention that Lin Yuan's Martial Path, which he founded, includes the Path of the Sun. Even without including it, he can easily absorb this drop of Red Spirit Liquid.
"The transformation is complete."
After a moment, Lin Yuan opened his eyes, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"This pot of Red Spirit Liquid is enough for me to use until Rank 6."
Lin Yuan looked at the pot-shaped container in front of him and solemnly put it away.
"Three life-saving command tokens?"
Lin Yuan took out three crimson tokens and observed them carefully.
These three tokens are completely unique to Lin Yuan. None of his previous twelve disciples, or even junior disciples who realized the "Mysterious Yellow" evolution path thousands of years ago, have ever had them.
"Although they are all life-saving command tokens, they have three different uses."
Lin Yuan's mind probed into the tokens and silently thought to himself.
The first token is a teleportation token.
Once Lin Yuan is subjected to an irresistible attack, this token will automatically activate and tear through space, randomly teleporting him.
The second token is an attack token.
It is activated by Lin Yuan himself.
Once crushed, it will form a terrifying strike that a Rank 6 evolver can barely withstand.
Even evolvers beyond Rank 6 need to be cautious. A slight mistake could result in serious injury.
As for the third token, it is a defense token.
It can form a defensive barrier around Lin Yuan.
Blocking all attacks, including spiritual and physical attacks.
This token is also the most important because once activated, the Red Kun Star Lord will immediately know and rush over at the fastest speed.
"Teacher's consideration is really thoughtful."
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.
With a team of guards composed of sixth-rank evolvers and these three life-saving command tokens.
It would be difficult for Lin Yuan to die even if he wanted to.
Of course.
Such life-saving measures.
It's best not to use them if possible.
Currently, Lin Yuan's external identity is just the champion of the arena.
It's not worth it for outsiders to use too much effort.
At most, they might secretly influence, just like with "Yao Qingqing" before.
Time passed.
Another month passed.
In the underground training ground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
His aura began to rise once again.
