Every time the Barbaric Demon Beasts from the west caused an uproar, it was always my eldest brother who led the suppression, his hands stained with the blood of countless Demon Kings.
As for my second sister, she possesses a mutated Thunder attribute Earth Spirit Root. She appears gentle and reserved, but that is only in front of family members.
Outside, my second sister bears the title of the Shenxiao Fairy.
“If little brother says he won’t pursue the matter, then it won’t be pursued.”
“Those people got off easy.”
My second-tier eldest brother said with a chuckle.
They could tell that Lin Yuan’s mood seemed to be pretty good now.
“Little brother, let me tell you, this Cloud Mist Blessed Land is also known as a ‘Prolonging Life’ Blessed Land.”
“Among the one hundred and eight Blessed Lands of the Central Divine Continent, each Blessed Land has its unique effect, and the Cloud Mist Blessed Land’s effect is prolonging life.”
“By staying here long-term, and occasionally consuming Prolonging Life Elixirs, even without cultivating, living for hundreds or even a thousand years is a very likely possibility.”
My eldest brother said.
My second sister nodded in agreement.
“When our parents cleared the Cloud Mist Blessed Land for you to live in, there were quite a few elders in the sect who questioned it.”
“But in the end, father stood his ground against the opposition and secured this Cloud Mist Blessed Land.”
My second sister said.
“I’ve caused trouble for our parents.”
Lin Yuan heaved a sigh.
One could imagine the emotions of those elders in the Immortal Sect when they heard that one of the distinguished one hundred and eight Blessed Lands, the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, was going to be inhabited by a waste with no Spirit Root.
But there was nothing they could do.
Lin Yuan might lack a Spirit Root,
but he has a powerful background.
Even if others doubted, that was all they could do.
They were powerless to make any substantial decisions.
This is the privilege of a third-generation from a family of Immortals.
“These days…” Lin Yuan’s spirit was lifted with pleasure.
After experiencing the fourth transmigration, the initial twenty years were spent suppressing the darkness of the Great Abyss.
This transmigration started at the peak, perfect in every way except for the inability to cultivate.
Even the sole drawback of being unable to cultivate was only in the eyes of others.
In reality, Lin Yuan could still cultivate, and even make rapid progress.
“By the way, little brother.”
“Now that you’re living here, do you have any needs?”
“Just tell your big brother.”
After chatting idly for a while, my eldest brother asked.
“Needs?”
Lin Yuan thought for a moment.
“I want to give cultivation another try, I need some Immortal Path skills, as well as skills related to Body Cultivation.”
Lin Yuan said.
The reason for such a request was because Lin Yuan wanted to comprehend this world’s cultivation system.
Without a Spirit Root, Lin Yuan couldn’t embark on the path of Immortal cultivation.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t comprehend and draw inspiration from the Immortal Cultivation System.
Some concepts and ideas from the Immortal Cultivation System could still provide Lin Yuan with some inspiration.
And under the Against-Heaven’s Understanding, these inspirations could amplify insights by tens or even hundreds of times.
As for the latter request for Body Cultivation techniques…
Body Cultivation is a branch derived from the Immortal Cultivation System.
It focuses solely on forging the physical body, hence there are no restrictions related to having a Spirit Root.
However, attempting Body Cultivation requires enduring endless agony,
and with a lifespan no different from ordinary people, the original Jun Wuji never really explored this method of cultivation.
After all, with his formidable background, Jun Wuji didn’t need the limited strength that came from Body Cultivation.
“Little brother…”
My eldest brother and second sister sighed inwardly.
They understood that Jun Wuji still hadn’t given up on the idea of cultivating.
Since ancient times, there has never been a case of someone without a Spirit Root being able to embark on the path of Immortal cultivation.
But the once Jun Wuji had always believed that the absence of precedents didn’t mean there would be none in the future.
Therefore, Jun Wuji often collected various Immortal Path skills and secret techniques from less orthodox paths to attempt cultivation.
My eldest brother, second sister, and our parents all saw this happen.
Although they knew Jun Wuji’s efforts were unlikely to yield results,
everyone didn’t have the heart to stop him.
“Body Cultivation skills…”
“Little brother, the path of Body Cultivation entails great pain; you must be prepared mentally.”
My eldest brother couldn’t help but remind him.
For ordinary people, embarking on the path of Body Cultivation can be justified,
as it boosts strength even if it doesn’t extend lifespan.
But for Jun Wuji, it was rather pointless, almost like a spare rib.
After all, the level of Jun Wuji’s strength hardly mattered, and he would rarely have the opportunity to take action.

“I want to see what the principles behind body cultivation techniques are…” Lin Yuan stated his reason.
In fact, Lin Yuan was curious about the details of how body cultivation techniques tempered the physical body.
Generally speaking, no cultivator practices solely body cultivation techniques; they are usually practiced by those who have reached the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, as a way to enhance their physical strength and increase their ability to protect themselves.
“No problem,” the elder brother nodded.
Procedures and steps are required to take out the magical instruments and treasures of the Daode Immortal Sect.
But for cultivation techniques and secret techniques… apart from a very small number of them, the rest can be copied onto a jade slip and taken out in any quantity.
The three chatted for a while longer.
Then the elder brother and the second sister stood up to take their leave.
“Is there something the matter, elder brother?” Lin Yuan keenly noticed that something was off in the elder brother’s mood.
According to elder brother’s past habits, a visit to Lin Yuan would last at least half a day.
“It’s nothing serious.”
“It’s just that those barbaric demon beasts in the west have been restless lately.”
“I need to make a trip and kill a few dozen demon kings to deter them,” the elder brother said nonchalantly, shaking his head.
In the elder brother’s mouth, demon kings, which correspond to cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, seemed no different from livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
“Still, be careful.”
“I’ve heard that there’s been a new Demon Saint presence in the Demon Saint’s Nest,” the second sister glanced at the elder brother and reminded him.
The Demon Saint’s Nest… A sacred land for the barbaric demonic beasts, is said to be related to a certain Demon Saint.
And a Demon Saint corresponds to the level of an Ancient Saint of Refine Void.
“Don’t worry, if there really is a Demon Saint’s aura, I’ll definitely run,” the elder brother replied with a nod.
“Demon Saint’s Nest…” Lin Yuan fell into thought.
The Daode Immortal Sect, possessing the rich resources of the Central Divine Continent, seemed glorious from the outside, but the demonic beasts to the west, the ghost cultivators to the south, and the Blood Demons to the north, all had their eyes on the Daode Immortal Sect.
It was just that the Daode Immortal Sect was so powerful that it suppressed any disobedience, and things had been peaceful for years.
“Ha ha ha ha, second sister, I’ve told you not to talk about these things in front of junior brother,” the elder brother laughed heartily as he saw Lin Yuan’s expression.
“Don’t worry.”
“The life-saving methods bestowed by the Sect Master will keep me safe, even if I do encounter a Demon Saint,” the elder brother continued before turning to leave.
“Junior brother.”
“If you have any problems, you must tell your sister,” the second sister impressed upon Lin Yuan before she, too, departed.
For a time.
Cloud Mist Blessed Land fell silent once more.
…
Several days later.
Daode Immortal Sect disciples delivered dozens of jade slips.
Inside were recorded dozens of profound Immortal Path skills.
Included at the bottom were three jade slips, detailing the strongest three body cultivation techniques collected by the Daode Immortal Sect.
“Body cultivation…” Lin Yuan’s eyes sparkled.
He immediately began to browse through them.
Body cultivation is renowned for forging the physical body.
The Martial Path Evolutionary Path also places significant importance on tempering the physical body.
The foundation of the Martial Arts Evolution System is rooted in the physical body’s Qi and blood. Upon this foundation, it nurtures the spirit and evolves the Primordial Spirit.
“This realm’s body cultivation lineage has the potential to continuously unearth the physical body’s potential, purely increasing the strength of the physical body. Once the physical body reaches its limit, there’s a certain chance that a… Physical Body Divine Ability will be born?” Lin Yuan pondered thoughtfully.
A so-called Physical Body Divine Ability is an ability inscribed deep within the flesh and blood of the body.
This ability, theoretically, should have no chance of manifesting due to its extreme subtlety, yet body cultivation techniques might indeed reawaken such ability.
Of course, it’s only a possibility.
The emergence of a Physical Body Divine Ability, even for the lineage of body cultivation, is considered a legendary feat.
Most cultivators who pursue body cultivation to its limits are unable to manifest a Physical Body Divine Ability.
“Physical Body Divine Ability…” Lin Yuan’s eyes shone with vigor. With the methods of Against-Heaven’s Understanding, he could completely refine and perfect the body cultivation techniques, greatly increasing the chance of giving birth to Physical Body Divine Abilities.
…
From that day on, Lin Yuan secluded himself in the Cloud Mist Blessed Land, quietly recovering his strength while also comprehending the essence of this world’s cultivation system.
Time silently slipped by.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
