Chapter: Crisis within Lin clan
Lin Yuan slowed as he approached the Lin Clan, his gaze fixed on the dark smoke rising beyond its walls. Several trails of smoke drifted into the sky, while the faint smell of burning wood reached him even from a distance. The closer he came, the more clearly he could see the destruction.His face turn paled.The buildings within the clan were barely visible through the smoke, but the damage surrounding the outer walls was unmistakable. Parts of the defensive structure had collapsed, and several sections of the wall bore deep marks from powerful attacks.Lin Yuan stopped, staring at the devastation.The Lin Clan was one of the places struck by Feng Yexi's attack.The realization sent a chill through him. He had been so focused on finding Lan Xin that he had barely considered what might have happened elsewhere after Feng Yexi unleashed her power. Now, seeing the destruction before him, he could no longer ignore the possibility that his own family had suffered the consequences.Without

Chapter: Mockery at Fangshi Market
Lin Yuan lowered his gaze toward the object lying on the ground and bent down to pick it up. It was an empty glass bottle, small enough to fit comfortably in his palm. He raised it to eye level and examined it from different angles, his brows drawing together in confusion."Where did this come from?"He turned the bottle over, inspecting its surface for any markings that might reveal its origin, but nothing immediately caught his attention. He could not remember bringing such an object into the cave, nor could he understand why it had been left there.His gaze lingered on the opening before curiosity prompted him to bring it closer to his nose. He sniffed the faint residue inside, only to recoil almost immediately. His face twisted in disgust, and he quickly pulled the bottle away."That is disgusting," he thought.Lin Yuan frowned at the object, but as he examined it again, a possibility occurred to him. The residue might have come from a medicinal potion. Judging by the unfamiliar s

Chapter: Control mastery
His surroundings had changed. Lin Yuan looked down at his hands, then turned toward the place where he had been standing moments earlier. His original position was now occupied by one of the incarnations, while he had somehow appeared several meters away, in the incarnation's former position. He stared at the figure that now stood where he had been. "I exchanged positions with it!" A smile slowly spread across his face as he finally understood the first practical application of the technique. The Myriad Origin Incarnation Art was not merely a method for creating additional bodies. It also allowed him to exchange positions with his incarnations, turning them into potential escape routes whenever he found himself in danger. "This could be useful for escaping." His excitement returned, and he immediately decided to test another possibility. Lin Yuan focused on one of the incarnations and directed it to attack a nearby tree using the Origin Finger. The incarnation moved at

Chapter: Five clone
Lin Yuan stared at his two arms, still feeling the increase in strength that had come with his recent breakthrough. His mind returned to the Myriad Origin Incarnation Art, the mysterious technique revealed by the Origin Scripture. Although he had read its description, he had yet to discover what it could truly do."Let me see what makes this technique so special."He took a deep breath and activated the Myriad Origin Incarnation Art, channeling Origin Qi through his body. The energy spread outward, and five figures gradually emerged around him, each bearing an exact replica of his appearance.Lin Yuan's eyes widened as he examined the five incarnations standing before him.For a moment, he felt a flicker of excitement. However, that excitement soon faded as he looked at the identical figures surrounding him."Is this all the technique does? It only allows me to create clones of myself?"His expression turned doubtful. Considering the mysterious nature of the Origin Scripture, he had e

Chapter: breakthrough
He studied the sentence carefully, particularly the distinction between dividing the soul and multiplying the self. The wording suggested that the technique did not rely on ordinary methods of creating clones, but he could not yet understand how the Origin Scripture intended to accomplish such a feat."What does it mean by countless selves being born from the origin?"The question remained unanswered as the final line began to form."Ten thousand bodies may stand beneath the heavens, yet without one origin, they are nothing but scattered shadows."Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn.The three lines seemed connected, each revealing a little more about the principle behind the Myriad Origin Incarnation Art. Nevertheless, their meaning remained beyond his immediate understanding. He could guess that the technique involved creating multiple bodies, but the relationship between those bodies and the Origin Scripture's concept of Origin remained unclear.Just as he was about to examine the

Chapter: Myriad Origin Incarnation Art
Lin Yuan's eyes widened as he examined the Origin Scripture floating before him. Something about its appearance had changed, and the difference was too obvious to ignore.The pages that had once carried the familiar gray radiance of Origin Qi were now divided by two distinct colors. One was bathed in the pale gray light of Origin Qi, while the other was shrouded in a deep, almost ink-black glow that carried the unmistakable aura of Death Qi.He stared at the two pages, unable to conceal his astonishment."Why has the Origin Scripture changed?"Lin Yuan moved closer, examining the darkened page with a frown. The Death Qi radiating from it felt strangely familiar, yet its presence within the Origin Scripture was something he had never encountered before."Could this be because of the inheritance of the God of Death?"The thought seemed reasonable. Ever since obtaining that inheritance, his cultivation had undergone changes that ordinary cultivators would struggle to comprehend. Perhaps

Chapter: Back to Heaven Gorge
Immediately after Li Tian stepped into the entrance before him, the entire Chaos Realm trembled. The endless darkness surrounding him vanished, and in the next moment, the world changed completely. Li Tian found himself standing in the middle of a familiar battle. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the cold wind swept across the land, carrying the heavy atmosphere of death. His eyes widened as he looked around. The Heavenly Gorge, the same place where everything had ended in his previous life. Around him stood countless disciples wearing the robes of the Heavenly Accord Sect, their cold gazes fixed on him, exactly like that day. For a moment, Li Tian stood frozen. "Why am I here again?" His voice was filled with confusion. The scene before him felt too real, the pressure from the surrounding disciples and the cold wind touching his skin, everything was exactly the same. Li Tian slowly lowered his head and touched his body. He circulated his qi and checked his meridians. H

Chapter: Unknown
Li Tian found himself standing before a cave that was radiating a powerful Chaos Energy. The surrounding area was completely covered in darkness, with only the terrifying aura coming from the cave entrance illuminating the endless black space. He looked around with a confused expression. "How did I get here...?" His eyes narrowed slightly. "Is this still the Chaos Realm?" The last thing he remembered was his body being destroyed by Long Bo's World Incineration, the pain from his broken bones, the weakness of his consciousness, and the feeling of death approaching were still fresh in his mind. But now, he was standing in a place he had never seen before, the pressure here was far beyond anything he had experienced before. Li Tian slowly walked closer to the cave entrance, wanting to see what was written above it. However, before he could clearly read the ancient characters carved on the stone wall— "Hahahaha!" A loud laughter suddenly echoed through the darkness. Li Tian immediate

Chapter: Unstable condition
The chaos at the Dragon Vein Mountain slowly came to an end. After the investigation was temporarily halted, the disciples and elders from the different clans began leaving the area. The terrifying scene left behind inside the mountain remained fresh in everyone's minds. Ye Xuan carried the unconscious Ye Zhing back toward the Ye Clan. Her condition was also unstable, for she had fainted after noticing that Li Tian was left behind inside the mountain. Her face was pale, and her breathing remained weak. As the Ye Clan disciples saw Ye Xuan returning with Ye Zhing unconscious, their expressions changed immediately. "What happened?" Ye Xuan did not answer while his expression remained serious as he carried her away. [Li Clan Medical Room] Silence filled the room. Li Tian lay motionless on the bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages, covering the injuries he suffered at the dragon mountain. The room was filled with the faint smell of medicine. Several silver needles were placed a

Chapter: Many witnesses
The moment the disciple finished speaking, the entire Dragon Vein Mountain entrance remained unsettled. The accusation against the Long Clan was too serious, nobody expected that the situation would turn in such a direction. At first, everyone believed Li Tian was the only suspicious person, because he was the only one who survived after entering the Dragon Vein Mountains, but now, a witness had stepped forward, and his words had created another possibility. Before anyone could respond, another figure walked forward from the crowd. "Great Elder Yu." Everyone turned their attention toward the newcomer. It was Gu Shan, and behind him were several other disciples who had also been rescued by Li Tian inside the Dragon Vein Mountains. They immediately walked forward. The Long Clan elders frowned when they saw them. "What are you all doing?" Gu Shan ignored the question and looked directly at Great Elder Yu. "We came here to speak the truth." Great Elder Yu nodded. "Then speak." Gu

Chapter: The witness
The Great Elder Yu raised his hand, stopping the rising tension between the two sides."It is unfortunate that such a tragedy happened during this competition," he said with a heavy voice. "However, I want everyone to understand that the matter will be investigated thoroughly. If anyone is found responsible for what happened inside the Dragon Vein Mountains, they will be punished accordingly."His words echoed throughout the area. However, the Long Clan elders showed no intention of accepting the explanation. Their eyes remained fixed on the lifeless bodies of their four geniuses..These were not ordinary disciples. They represented the future of the Long Clan. Years of resources, countless treasures, and the hopes of the entire clan had been placed on them. And now, all four of them had returned as corpses.One of the Long Clan elders clenched his fists tightly. "Investigated?" he said coldly. "Great Elder Yu, do you expect us to remain calm after seeing this?" His voice trembled wit

Chapter: How did he survive
The entire Dragon Vein Mountain had fallen into an unsettling silence.The disciples who had remained behind could only stare at the battlefield before them with fear written across their faces. Countless Long Clan disciples lay motionless on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds from the terrifying battle that had taken place.However, what shocked them the most was not the number of casualties. It was the corpse of the Dragon King.The enormous body of the beast remained lifeless in the distance and its powerful aura that had once suppressed the entire mountain completely gone.Many disciples swallowed nervously."How could this happen?""That was the Dragon King... an existence that even Transformation Realm experts feared.""How could Li Tian kill it?"A disciple looked at the unconscious figure in Ye Xuan's arms with disbelief. "Or was he supported by some external force?"The question caused many people to exchange uncertain gazes. Nobody wanted to believe that Li Tian, som
