Chapter 50
🕑 Added 2024-01-30 15:06:30 +0000 UTC"My strength hasn't been affected at all."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, nodding slightly.
Although in the Dragon-Tiger World, he was already familiar with his own power.
But the main world was still another realm, and there were subtle differences between different worlds.
"The Tao of Tai Chi."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, his feet left the ground, hovering in the air.
In the Dragon-Tiger World, as long as you reached the level of Celestial Master, you could fly.
But in the main world, due to the different focuses of various evolutionary paths, the ranks for achieving flight differed.
For most evolutionary paths, reaching the third stage was enough to fly.
In a few special evolutionary paths, even the second stage could achieve flight.
Of course, there were some paths where you needed to reach the fourth stage to gain the ability to fly.
Lin Yuan arrived at the rooftop of a residential building, took a step forward, and his body floated in the air, ready to take flight.
Just then, Lin Yuan seemed to remember something.
His body retracted.
"This isn't the Dragon-Tiger World."
In the Dragon-Tiger World, Lin Yuan could fly however he wanted.
But in the main world, on the highly developed Canglan Star, did he really think the planetary defense system didn't exist?
With Lin Yuan's speed and life fluctuations, as long as he dared to appear in high altitude, he would inevitably be detected by the planetary defense system.
At that time, it would be fine if he faced an interception, but if he was identified as an alien invasion, they might launch energy weapons like electromagnetic cannons and laser beams.
Even Lin Yuan would suffer a great loss.
"Respected Level Three Citizen Mr. Lin Yuan, if you want to fly, there is no need to worry. The entire airspace of the Eastern Continent is open for you to roam."
A dignified and cold voice came.
It was the Goddess of Wisdom.
At this moment, Lin Yuan was on the rooftop.
It didn't belong to the privacy space agreed upon by the Human Alliance, so the Goddess of Wisdom had the authority to observe.
After deducing Lin Yuan's intentions from his recent actions, the Goddess of Wisdom provided relevant advice.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt relieved.
As long as the Goddess of Wisdom saw no problem, even if Canglan Star had the highest classified planetary defense system, she could take control at any time.
Swoosh! Lin Yuan soared directly into the sky.
What Lin Yuan didn't know was that right after he flew, an invisible ripple enveloped the entire Canglan Star, as if a small gap had been torn open.
With Lin Yuan at the center, all sensing devices and monitoring methods within a radius of hundreds of miles failed.
"Ding—"
In the Canglan Star Security Center, a staff member looked astonished, staring at the huge monitoring screen in front of them.
"What's wrong?"
A colleague beside them casually asked.
"Nothing."
The staff member replied, "The goddess just took away some data."
"Isn't that normal?"
The colleague scoffed.
The Goddess of Wisdom managed the entire Human Alliance's civilian logistics, often taking control of Canglan Star's security system. Taking away some data was nothing unusual.
In the high sky of Canglan Star, Lin Yuan lay on the clouds.
His gaze turned towards outer space.
"A bit further out, and I should be out of Canglan Star."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Without the protection of Canglan Star, he would have to face various radiation from outer space and the absence of substances like oxygen. Without reaching the sixth stage, an Evolver couldn't survive for long in the true vastness of outer space.
"This is the cosmos."
Lin Yuan had never been so close, observing the universe and the starry sky with his own eyes.
For a moment, he was somewhat fascinated.
[Your insight defies the heavens as you gaze upon the cosmic universe, gaining some enlightenment.]
[Your insight defies the heavens as you gaze upon the cosmic universe, gaining some enlightenment.]
[Your insight defies the heavens as you gaze upon the cosmic universe, gaining some enlightenment.]
This continued for more than half an hour.
It was only after this prolonged immersion that Lin Yuan emerged from his contemplative state.
"Unfortunately, the current cosmic universe is too distant for me. Forcing insights won't yield any gains in a short time."
Lin Yuan sighed.
It was similar to comprehending the Tao of Yin and Yang in the Dragon-Tiger World.
It took Lin Yuan nearly a decade to fully comprehend it. As for the vast and boundless universe, it would likely take hundreds, thousands, or even more years for him to gain true insights.
Of course, this was also because Lin Yuan's current cultivation level was too low. If he were at the sixth, seventh, or eighth stage, observing the universe would undoubtedly accelerate his comprehension.
The essence of insights gained with unrivaled insight depended on the level Lin Yuan stood upon.
In simple terms, the stronger Lin Yuan became, the more insights he would gain.
"Maybe it's more convenient to directly purchase evolutionary paths for insights."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Evolutionary paths, including the martial arts evolutionary path founded by Lin Yuan, involved in-depth analysis of certain paths or powers. Compared to comprehending the natural order, understanding evolutionary paths was like taking a shortcut.
It was similar to students learning textbook content; although they could potentially learn without textbooks, complicated formulas could be derived from textbooks. However, this method was highly inefficient, much slower than directly learning from the textbooks.
Next, Lin Yuan continued to observe the cosmic universe before returning to the residential area.
His consciousness connected to the virtual world, and Lin Yuan appeared in his personal space.
The virtual world was divided into two parts: personal space and public areas.
Public areas included the central square, living area, trading area, arena, and more.
"So many private messages?"
Lin Yuan checked and found over ten thousand unread private messages.
"It's probably related to the martial arts evolutionary path."
Lin Yuan glanced through the first few messages and roughly understood the situation.
The "Celestial Phenomenon Chapter" and "Yin-Yang Chapter" uploaded two days ago caused a surge in the potential of the martial arts evolutionary path, propelling Lin Yuan's ranking on the Canglan Evolutionary Rankings directly into the top eight.
This shook various major forces on Canglan Star, leading many individuals to try contacting the founder of this evolutionary path.
As Lin Yuan had hidden his citizen number, leaving only the alias "Yuan," those attempting to contact him could only do so through private messages.
"Not very interesting."
Lin Yuan spent half an hour browsing through over ten thousand private messages.
The private messages mainly fell into four categories:
Wanting to get to know Lin Yuan.
Attempting to recruit Lin Yuan to join their faction.
Seeking to join Lin Yuan.
Inquiring about questions regarding the martial arts evolutionary path.
Lin Yuan ignored the first three categories. Only the fourth category, those who sent messages seeking guidance on the martial arts evolutionary path, received his attention.
People sending the fourth type of message were generally those intending to try the martial arts evolutionary path or were already on it. They wanted guidance from the founder and were willing to pay a hefty fee.
One message offered ten million civilization coins for three hours of Lin Yuan's guidance.
Three hours.
Ten million?
Lin Yuan was genuinely tempted.
After reaching Level Three Citizen status, the congratulatory gift from the Universal Human Alliance was around this amount. Moreover, guidance didn't have to be one-on-one; he could conduct a class with dozens of people. Lin Yuan could even release "paid videos" on the martial arts evolutionary path. As long as it was published by the founder, wouldn't those citizens attempting the path buy it?
"Goddess of Wisdom."
Lin Yuan connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.
"How many citizens are currently practicing the martial arts evolutionary path?"
Lin Yuan asked directly.
He had uploaded the martial arts evolutionary path half a year ago, and with the publicity on the Canglan Evolutionary Rankings, many citizens should have noticed it by now. After all, most evolutionary paths had various limitations, such as financial support, among other things. The martial arts evolutionary path had relatively low financial demands.
Of course, this "low" was relative to the current living standards of citizens. As long as one didn't require a very frugal lifestyle, there wouldn't be any issues. In the interstellar era, even if you completely lay flat, not working, you could still receive monthly assistance from the government.
The following message appeared in my reply:
"At present, the number of citizens who have completed the 'Innate Chapter' of the martial arts evolutionary path is 1,232. Zero have completed the 'Grandmaster Chapter.'"
The Goddess of Wisdom provided the answer.
"How long has it been?"
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised.
After all, the "Innate Chapter" of the martial arts evolutionary path corresponded to martial arts experts in the Innate realm. In the martial arts world, those in the Innate realm could dominate a region. Even the Great Zen Temple, with a tradition spanning a thousand years and housing thousands of martial monks, had only over fifty monks who reached the Innate realm.
However, Lin Yuan quickly thought that it was reasonable.
This was Canglan Star, with extremely advanced technology. Although the martial arts evolutionary path had no significant financial requirements, those with sufficient wealth could still rely on external aids to complete the "Innate Chapter."
In the martial arts world, one of the quick methods to reach the Innate realm involved consuming spiritual fruits from the heavens and earth. In the main world, these spiritual fruits might be a bit precious, but citizens with some status could purchase them.
