In the ensuing battles, similar explosions could be heard frequently! Each explosion was a constant test of the minds of the many chosen ones!
Once fear takes hold in one's heart, one's actions will inevitably be somewhat weaker, and in this way, the balance of power will shift, and the situation will change.
Fortunately, the chosen ones were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, each one fearless of death. The self-destruction of the immortals not only did not affect their morale, but also made the killing intent of many chosen ones even stronger!
However, none of this mattered much to Lin Yang anymore. Long before he proclaimed himself the Lord of the Sun, Lin Yang was drawn to the Sun Star and headed towards it. Just as Chang'e flew to the moon in ancient times, Lin Yang now flew to the sun—quite a spectacle indeed.
The reason for the attraction is quite simple. The Sun Star is about to evolve and will then enter a period of dormancy. During this time, if Lin Yang helps, the period will be shortened considerably.
Therefore, after unleashing that attack and breaking the formation, Lin Yang flew towards the Sun Star under everyone's watchful eyes!
...
The sun, no matter when, where, or in what universe, is one of the most important stars! In the mortal world, the sun brings light, heat, and the basic conditions for life to survive.
In the world of fantasy and martial arts, the sun symbolizes light, hope, and many other concepts; it is the embodiment of these concepts.
Therefore, Taiyi, the Demon Emperor of the Primordial World, could rule over the stars and celestial bodies as the Lord of the Sun, and thus establish a Heavenly Court to govern the entire Primordial World for one great eon.
In the world of Shu Mountain, the sun was originally just a big fireball in the eyes of the immortals.
However, ever since Lin Yang sacrificed the Heavenly Dao and took out the primordial spiritual treasure—the origin of an extraterrestrial star—the sun of the Shu Mountain World has undergone tremendous changes!
Every day, it is increasing and expanding at a visible rate, and this has continued for a hundred years without stopping.
One hundred years later, even ordinary people who know nothing can feel the changes in the sun—it's getting stronger, crops are getting easier to harvest, and people are getting healthier!
As for the immortals, they keenly noticed that the energy carried in the sunlight was even stronger! However, for some reason, their inner voices were reminding them not to absorb this sunlight indiscriminately!
"Who awakens first from this great dream? I know myself best. I slept soundly in my thatched cottage in spring, while the sun lingered outside the window. Ah, a great dream, and I've finally woken up! I slept for a hundred years, how amazing!" Lin Yang said with a self-deprecating smile as he glanced at his surroundings.
At this moment, Lin Yang was inside the very core of the Sun Star. Surrounding him was endless flames, flames of utmost purity!
Lin Yang fell asleep amidst the flames. However, no matter what kind of flames they were, they could not cause him the slightest harm.
Upon waking, Lin Yang immediately began to examine his changes. His cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth rank, and he only needed one more opportunity to break through to the fifth rank!
His body refinement has reached a minor success, and the concentration of blood in his body is extremely profound, even surpassing that of newly born golden crows!
(Theoretically speaking, Lin Yang at this point is no longer human; he is a little golden crow with a somewhat impure bloodline. This is how it always is in the later stages of body refinement. However, the little golden crow is also one of humanity's ancestors!)
Feeling the changes inside his body, Lin Yang smiled, then raised his right hand and waved it gently, immediately activating the surrounding flames.
Just like eating and drinking, manipulating the flames was incredibly simple for Lin Yang.
Furthermore, Lin Yang possesses numerous innate supernatural abilities, such as the ability to control flames and immunity to most types of fire damage. He also controls the True Fire of the Sun, a fire so powerful that even a fifth-tier Earth Immortal could be burned to death.
There's also the ability to conjure fire spirits, transforming sentient flames into fire rabbits, fire dragons, fire wolves, and even, in the future, when Lin Yang's cultivation is high enough, he can directly conjure a little golden crow.
After examining the changes in his body, Lin Yang went to his sea of consciousness to examine the changes there.
The sea of consciousness is located between the eyebrows, also known as the Purple Mansion in Taoism! At this moment, the previously rather monotonous sea of consciousness has transformed into a sea of fire, upon which lie numerous spiritual treasures. There must be at least several dozen!
"This is the Sun God Sword? Oh, it's a fire-attribute spiritual treasure I obtained in the Primordial Land. How did it end up here? Hmm? It seems to have already been refined?"
"This is the Sun God Mirror? It seems it has already been refined!"
"Is this the Great Sun Bell?"
"This is a peach tree? Wait a minute, they're all magical treasures, why is there a peach tree too?"
As he searched, Lin Yang discovered a pattern: all the fire and wood attribute spiritual treasures within his own magical treasure cave had been refined within his sea of consciousness.
Now, he has reached the limit of what a fourth-tier cultivator can refine! After all, a high-grade spiritual treasure corresponding to a sixth-tier Celestial Immortal is not something that Lin Yang, at his current fourth tier, can fully refine.
"Am I transitioning from a warrior to a mage? It seems so. My bloodline concentration is very high right now, and my physical and spiritual aptitudes have improved significantly, making me increasingly divine. Therefore, becoming a powerful mage is to be expected. However, I can keep this card hidden and use it as a trump card. I'll continue to pretend to be a warrior on ordinary days, and pull out my magic weapon at crucial moments, hehehe..." Feeling his own aptitude, Lin Yang couldn't help but indulge in some wishful thinking.
It's important to understand that, unlike the original owner of this body, Lin Yang's original aptitude was truly mediocre. His destiny was only at the second tier, and his overall talent was pitifully poor!
Moreover, his soul was transported from the modern world and was influenced by the vast amount of information in modern society. His mind was full of distractions, and his favorite thing to do all day was to daydream.
In this situation, let alone cultivating immortality, he can't even do the most basic meditation. How can he possibly cultivate immortality?
Can you tolerate several hours of basic meditation every day?
Can you accept meditating for hours and gaining nothing?
No, at least Lin Yang couldn't do it. That's why Lin Yang ultimately chose the path of body refinement, where strength could be increased simply by enduring hardship, spending money, and in-game purchases. Otherwise, who would want to refine their body if they could cultivate immortality happily?

Chapter 74: Let's get married after this battle is over!
Shortly after Lin Yang awoke, two divine senses automatically flew towards him. However, Lin Yang did not resist, because they carried the auras of Cai Yan and Su Qing'er. It seemed that they were the ones who left them on the Sun Star.
"Brother Peng, the battle is over, but many of us Chosen Ones have died. Liu Bei lost an eye, Guan Yu's broadsword was broken, and Zhang Fei lost an arm. But those three brothers were really powerful; they directly killed a Buddha who was ascending to heaven. They were so fierce. But I still miss you, what should I do?"
“Brother Peng, it’s been twenty years and you still haven’t woken up. Today we are facing a great battle. Sister Wenji said that this battle is very important, but also very dangerous. She told me to be careful and not to die by accident, so that I will never see you again.”
"I know that Sister Wenji is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although she speaks harshly, she actually cares about me. But, young master, when will you wake up? I miss you so much."
"Brother Peng, we've won another battle, but several more of our Chosen One companions have left us. That smooth-talking, always joking guy, Cao Mengde, this time he's practically a pile of minced meat. But thankfully, there's still hope... there's still..."
"Brother Peng, sixty years have passed. Now we, the Chosen Ones, have gained the upper hand. The immortals have been hunted down to the last few, and the rest are concentrated in the Emei Sect. However, the Emei Sect has the Two Elements Dust Array, which is not so easy to defeat. I wonder how many more will leave us in this battle..."
"Brother Peng, today is a hundred years old. Wake up quickly. Perhaps this is the final battle. We have almost found all the flaws in the Two Elements Dust Array. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be broken."
