Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 1269: Chapter 23: Time Lord

“The protective array of this ruin once faced complete destruction, more than once.”

“But every time after destruction, it could slowly recover?”

Lin Yuan observed carefully, shortly after discovering this sect’s ruin, his Taiyin Primordial Spirit had arrived.

“At least, it’s the ruin of a Saint Sect-level force, its foundation is far more terrifying than the Qingyun Saint Sect.”

Lin Yuan pondered to himself.

The Fang Yuan World defines Saint Sect-level forces as those with strong figures at the Third Realm in charge.

The Third Realm aligns with the Great Saints of the Chaos Void, as well as the Heavenly Venerates of the first Source World.

Among them, the Third Realm is the threshold for the Supreme Saint Sect, a second-tier force in this world.

Beneath the Supreme Saint Sect are the Saint Sect-level forces.

Among the Saint Sect-level forces, there are distinctions between higher and lower tiers.

For instance, the Qingyun Saint Sect is considered a weaker Saint Sect; its founder just barely reached the Third Realm.

After the great change in the world, the current strongest of Qingyun Saint Sect is no longer at the Third Realm, but at the Peak of Longevity Sixth Realm.

The Peak of Longevity Sixth Realm corresponds to the peak revered ones of the Chaos Void.

Logically, Qingyun Saint Sect should have lost its status as a Saint Sect long ago.

But due to the “magic” disaster, they were able to continue their title as a Saint Sect.

“It must be the work of a Source Demon.”

Lin Yuan observed the traces near the ruin, among which a critical strike almost penetrating the protective sect array, faintly had traces of demonic Qi dissipating, it was at least from a Source Demon-level ‘magic’ that could cause such an occurrence.

“Source Demon?”

Lin Yuan was not too surprised.

Most Source Demons are gathered in the center of the world, but it doesn’t mean there are no traces of Source Demons elsewhere, it’s just that their numbers are extremely low.

Lin Yuan observed from outside for a while, then walked inside.

The protective sect array of this ruin hadn’t recovered yet, making it impossible to stop Lin Yuan.

Soon, Lin Yuan reached the deepest part of the ruin.

It was empty, only a statue stood firm.

“Runes?”

Lin Yuan saw beneath the statue, inscribed with dozens of runes, with slight movement of the mind, extending from these dozens of runes, three final runes came forth.

During the invasion of magic disasters, many sect forces, before their sect gates were broken by ‘magic’, generally would leave their core legacies to be passed on to future cultivators.

After all, ‘magic’ is not interested in cultivation legacies, and to unlock a legacy you need to rely on Rune Dao, which ‘magic’ obviously cannot achieve.

Of course, some sect forces leave tests beyond the core legacy, for filtering purposes, since many legacies aren’t suited for every cultivator.

Buzz~

As Lin Yuan extended the final three runes, the whole statue began to vibrate slightly, and a figure of a man wearing a dark red cloak emerged.

“Descendant.” The man in the dark red cloak looked at Lin Yuan: “My name is ‘Li Hong’, I don’t know how long it has been since you saw my imprint, whether the ‘magic’ disaster has ended, but in my era, the ‘magic’ disaster just began a trillion years ago, I am currently being hunted by a Source Demon, probably can’t hold on much longer.”

“Li Hong? The founder of Li Hong Saint Sect?” Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As a Saint Sect before the great change in the world, Qingyun Saint Sect naturally documented detailed information about other Saint Sects.

Among them, Li Hong Saint Sect is quite renowned, its founder ‘Li Hong’ was a powerhouse at the peak of the Second Realm.

“That Source Demon is too powerful, I feel not even the Eternal Son can compare, I have no power to resist, only to keep fleeing.” said ‘Li Hong’ in a dark red cloak.

The so-called Eternal Son is the strongest heir of each major Eternal Sect, possessing strength that surpasses the Third Realm.

“Stronger than the Eternal Son?”

Lin Yuan was shocked, the Eternal Son had approached the Abyss Dragon, stronger than the Eternal Son? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to or surpassing the Abyss Dragon?

How is this possible?

The Abyss Dragon was the first being born in the first Source World, carrying countless opportunities and karma, possessing terrifying talent.

The Eternal Sons of this Source World, through special rune legacies, and the dedication of each thirteenth-level powerhouse, reached a degree close to the Abyss Dragon, which can be understood.

But to be equivalent or surpassing the Abyss Dragon?

How is this possible?

Even Lin Yuan found it hard to comprehend.

He could easily surpass the Abyss Dragon because he had a different dimension’s heavenly Dao comprehension and Against-Heaven’s Understanding, but Source Demon?

“What exactly is ‘magic’?”

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, for a thousand years, he hunted many demon spirits, great demons, but still hadn’t completely figured out this existence.

“It’s said that when killed by a Source Demon, magic Qi would infiltrate the mind and will, no amount of split avatars or life-saving measures are useful, as for self-destruction? As long as there exists a causal connection, a Source Demon will relentlessly pursue.”

‘Li Hong’ said, with a calm expression: “Since I embarked on the cultivation path, I have never felt such oppression…”

Lin Yuan listened.

Regarding the various means of Source Demons, he had seen ancient records documented in Qingyun Saint Sect.

“Since death is unavoidable, I have left this statue in advance, containing the path of my legacy, especially the Rune Dao, which is the Dao handed down by each Eternal Lord!”

‘Li Hong’ continued.

The Eternal Lord is the term this Source World’s beings use for thirteenth-level time-based life forms.

Different worlds have different terms for thirteenth-level time-based life forms, for example, in the first Source World, time-based life forms regard themselves as ‘Ancestors’.
