Lin Yi seemed to have experienced countless chaotic eras, witnessing the creation of the world time and time again. He was both the creator and the terminator of countless eras.
It was a terrifying process. The sight of the supreme Tao inspired awe. In a trance, one could hear the sounds of all living beings offering sacrifices and worshipping, or as if the gods were weeping.
The Dao wave shook the world, like a surging ocean, spreading in all directions. At a glance, the vast starry river was right before one's eyes, and in heaven and on earth, there was only one person who reigned supreme.
…………
The Central Plains are a land of magnificent mountains and rivers, a landscape as beautiful as a painting, and a vast expanse that stretches for countless miles.
On this vast and boundless land, cultivators mostly pass down their unique skills through their kingdoms.
The most powerful are the four immortal dynasties, which are behemoths that have been at their peak for hundreds of thousands of years since ancient times, and no one can rival them.
In addition, there are the various schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought, which are also unparalleled and immortal traditions, some of which are even older than the four great dynasties and whose foundations are no less impressive.
There are also nine ancient kingdoms, which are not as powerful as the four great dynasties, but are still incredibly formidable, having existed for seventy to eighty thousand years.
At this moment, Lin Yi's Dao body brought Bai Su to the capital of Anping Kingdom, one of the nine ancient kingdoms.
This ancient city is magnificent and imposing, covering a vast area, like an immortal divine city in the sky, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes atmosphere.
The city gate is tall and imposing; even dozens of savage riders can ride side by side without feeling crowded. The walls are mottled and emanate magical energy; if a powerful enemy were to attack, divine light would overflow, protecting the entire ancient city.
The city was very quiet, without any of the hustle and bustle of the city, and was dominated by tranquility and peace, with hardly any pedestrians to be seen.
Upon entering the city, the ancient streets are shrouded in auspicious mist, and many ancient buildings and gardens feature flowing springs and waterfalls, towering ancient trees, and fragrant medicinal herbs.
Purple energy soared into the sky from the center of the city, forming a dragon shape. It was clearly a place where dragon veins converged, and the essence of the earth flowed, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
This doesn't resemble an ancient imperial city that has stood for tens of thousands of years at all; it's more like a secluded mountain gate, where not a single mortal can be seen.
Lin Yi was not surprised by this. The Central Plains was different from the Eastern Wilderness. There were many ancestral veins underground. Many dynasties and supreme sects would build cities to accumulate the essence of heaven and earth, evolve the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and enlighten the ancestral roots of the dragon veins, making a blessed land increasingly rich in spiritual energy and becoming a dreamlike divine kingdom for cultivation.
Cultivators establish dynasties to better utilize resources for cultivation, not to covet wealth and glory.
Among them, the capitals of the four immortal dynasties are the most outstanding, almost evolving into heavenly capitals, as if a divine kingdom has descended!
Like Anping Kingdom, there are also cities for ordinary people, and there are a lot of them. However, ordinary people are not qualified to enter the capital, which is the place of cultivation for the upper-class rulers.
The arrival of Lin Yi and Bai Su quickly attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives.
After Bai Su cultivated to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, she had transformed into the appearance of a twelve or thirteen-year-old. These days, she traveled the world with Lin Yi, challenging the strongest among the younger generation. She won many battles and had already gained some fame.
The final destination, naturally, is the Qishi Mansion, where they will challenge the outstanding talents from the five regions.
The Central Emperor, the Northern Emperor, the Southern Demon, and the Western Bodhisattva—one after another, these young masters became famous throughout the world, shining like stars in the sky.
Unfortunately, this generation not only has an ancient holy body that defies the heavens and breaks the curse, but also a primordial holy body Dao embryo that is born, rising like the sun in the east.
While Bai Su was stirring up trouble in Anping Kingdom, Lin Yi's true form had already arrived in the western part of Zhongzhou, in a place called Qinling.
The Qinling Mountains cover an area of no less than a million square kilometers, making them incredibly vast. This is a very mysterious ancient land, rich in legends, and has been home to many powerful figures throughout history, though few know of their existence.
Some say that in the past, an ancient sage was invincible and traveled through the five regions without encountering a worthy opponent. However, when he arrived in the Qinling Mountains, he was defeated by an old shepherd.
Twenty thousand years ago, a similar thing happened. Eight powerful figures came to the Qinling Mountains to search for ancient sites, but were all thrown into the lake by a fisherman.
This place has its own unique heritage, which is mysterious to outsiders and shrouded in a veil of mystery.
The Qinling Mountains stretch for millions of miles, with mountains everywhere and many ancient tombs underground. Someone once unearthed the tombs of twelve ancient emperors in just six months.
Some say this is a place where immortals ascend to heaven, and according to local legend, they have seen people ascend to heaven on clouds.
Some say this is an incomprehensible place, with many underground cemeteries where people practice cultivation in pursuit of enlightenment, unknown to the outside world.
There are too many secrets about the Qinling Mountains. Some even say that the Qing Emperor, who amazed people throughout history, was born in the Qinling Mountains before going to the Eastern Wilderness.
There is a local legend that there is a pool in the Qinling Mountains where a lotus flower gained sentience 30,000 years ago. Soon after, it attained enlightenment and took human form. It grew step by step and became the Qing Emperor, a figure that has shaken the ages.
After spending more than half a month, Lin Yi finally found a sect, the Qin Sect.
This sect is not large, occupying four low mountains. There are only a little over a hundred people in total, and it has four branches in the east, west, south, and north, which are the so-called outer sects.
The main gate is located in the center of the mountains, only twenty or thirty li away from the branches to the east, west, north, and south.
Scattered throughout this area are some mountain villages inhabited by ordinary people who live next to Qinmen. Some mischievous children often run up the low hills to play, and no one cares.
It can be said that this declining sect with only a hundred or so members really had no strict rules. It seemed very loose and did not resemble a secluded secret sect at all.
However, Lin Yi knew that the Qin Clan not only possessed the "Soldier" secret among the Nine Secrets, but also a peerless divine technique passed down by the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling, the Divine Transcending Technique.
This time, he came specifically for these two secret techniques.
The Secret of Soldiers is the supreme art of controlling soldiers. Once mastered, every grain of sand and every stone in the world can become a weapon, and even the enemy's weapons are created for oneself. It is truly wondrous and beyond description.
The Divine Transformation Technique can convert all kings in the world. It does not control their consciousness, but rather works from the source, making a person sincerely submit to the sect. Everything is done naturally and normally, and it is by no means a usurpation of their will.
Lin Yi did not act rashly.
According to the information he had, thirty years ago, a powerful figure known as the "King of the Azure Sky" came in search of the Nine Secrets. After entering the main peak of the Qin Clan, he stayed there and never left. Now, he has become the Supreme Protector of the Qin Clan.
The small Qin Gate is a place where hidden talents abound.
