Main God Creation Rules

Page 83

Of the nine and a half worlds controlled by the Main God, World One (the Immortal World), World Two (the T-Virus World), World Three (the Kabane World), World Four (the World where the Time and Space Administration was tracking), World Five (the Giant World), and World Six (the World where the Blacklight Virus appeared) are all located in the same "Starfield". This "Starfield" also constitutes the largest reincarnator and energy source in the entire Main God Space. Once a war breaks out with another fragment of the Main God, this Starfield can be considered a "rear base". It can be said that once this Starfield is lost, let alone winning this "Main God Civil War", even surviving will be extremely difficult.

Therefore, it was essential to resolve the destabilizing factors within the "base" before the actual war began. Thus, after dealing with the remaining issues in World Ten, Lin Yi immediately set about returning to infiltrate that world.

Just like when I first stepped into this world, the entire invasion process was so easy that I wondered if I had entered my own backyard. Apart from feeling a little uncomfortable with the "spiritual energy" that filled the air because I was used to dealing with magic, nothing had changed since I left.

"Five years...?"

Gently stroking the marks that had been etched onto his desk five years ago when he was merely a 29th-generation disciple of Qionghua, filled with longing and hope for the future, Lin Yi's expression became slightly dazed, until a shout came from outside the room—

"Who is here!"

"..."

The house, forgotten by time, was filled with only deathly silence. Just as the Qionghua disciples outside were looking on with suspicion, the wooden door, which was reinforced with a spirit array, was suddenly pierced and torn apart by chains.

Before they could even warn anyone, the Qionghua disciples instinctively swung their spirit swords. The blades made a piercing sound as they struck the chains. Feeling the immense power emanating from the chains, their faces paled. Just as they tried to break free, it was too late. Their entire bodies, along with the spirit swords in their hands, were restrained and dragged into the pitch-black room. After that, everything returned to its initial deathly silence.

Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 206 Dao Yin Zhenren

“A demon invaded, slaughtering and abducting more than ten disciples, and it just so happened that it happened when I left this world… That’s interesting.”

Lin Yi removed his left hand from the head of the Qionghua disciple who had stopped breathing. The "Heavenly Lock" binding him dissipated back into basic magic power, which was then absorbed by his left eye, which shimmered with a golden light. Lin Yi's expression was subtle as he looked at the Qionghua disciple lying on the ground.

"Looks like I don't need to change my identity anymore?"

The memories retrieved from the mind of this twenty-eighth generation disciple of Qionghua—his senior uncle—were quite interesting. Five years ago, almost on the same day that Lin Yi realized that with his talent, there was no hope of cultivating immortality and gave up leaving this world, a monster from the Illusionary Darkness Realm infiltrated Qionghua territory. After being discovered, it rushed into the residential area of ​​junior disciples and carried out a massacre, even leading several Qionghua disciples who were completely terrified to flee Kunlun Mountain.

This scene greatly angered Dao Yin, the then-head of Qionghua Sect. If he hadn't been at a critical juncture in his cultivation, he probably would have chased after him across thousands of miles with his immortal sword. However, in the end, the demon from the Dark Realm successfully escaped and slapped Qionghua hard across the face.

This led to a significant decline in Qionghua's prestige over the next two years, with even fewer Qionghua disciples going out to "fight for justice." It wasn't until three years ago, when Qionghua's most renowned genius disciple defeated seven other sects in succession at the Kunlun Sword Tournament and won the title of "Sword Master," that the situation began to improve.

Subtracting the things that were irrelevant to Lin Yi during the process, the current situation is that Lin Yi (the pseudonym he used at the time), the 29th generation disciple of Qionghua, is missing after being persecuted by the monster incident in the Illusionary Realm five years ago: no one can say that he is dead, after all, there is no body; but no one can prove that he is still alive either, perhaps he was swallowed by the monster.

In other words, even if he were to appear before the sect as "Lin Yi," the 4th generation disciple of the Qionghua Sect, there would be no problem with his actions, and he could even easily find an excuse.

"...You said that five years ago you were taken away by the monsters of the Illusionary Realm and escaped halfway, but you were trapped in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and couldn't find your way back to Qionghua. It wasn't until two years ago that you returned to the mortal world and then spent another two years getting back to Qionghua?"

Gently stroking his white beard, Zhengfa, as an elder of Qionghua, had ample reason to doubt the words of this "new disciple." The problem was that he couldn't voice these doubts now—especially with so many Qionghua disciples watching.

It's very simple. There's nothing wrong with suspecting a cultivator who might be a demon, but it's very problematic to suspect a loyal disciple who has suffered an unwarranted calamity and gone through countless hardships just to return to the sect. If such suspicion is expressed now, what will the other Qionghua disciples think? Elder Zhengfa has no choice but to be cautious about this.

"I understand, you can go back now."

In the end, Elder Zhengfa chose the safest approach: "Rest peacefully and don't think too much."

"Yes!"

Was this unexpected?

After conveying his stance with an attitude of "being so excited he couldn't contain himself," his eyes returned to calm as he turned away.

Even Lin Yi himself didn't believe this flawed lie, let alone these cultivators who had lived for countless years. The reason he did this despite knowing it was impossible to be accepted was simply to get close to an elder-level cultivator. Now it seems the situation isn't so pessimistic after all.

At least, it wouldn't be a problem for dozens of "cultivators" of this level to come at once.

"Then comes the live-action level..."

Returning to the residence of Lin Yi, the 29th generation disciple of Qionghua, he began to make the necessary arrangements based on the original appearance that had already been restored.

Lin Yi's plan was simple. If Dao Yin Zhenren, who was highly likely to come and find out his true identity and background, accepted his explanation, then everything would be fine. He could simply deal with the Qionghua disciple who had just "disappeared," and then act under the guise of a "righteous disciple." Even if he caused any trouble, he would have a buffer. But if he failed, things would be even more straightforward—

"If I can't be a good guy, I can only be a villain... Hmm, in this world I should be a 'demon'."

As for his ultimate goal, it doesn't matter whether he's a decent person or a demon or monster, as long as he can take this opportunity to determine the exact level of the top combat power in this "inactive" world.

Just as Lin Yi had finished making the arrangements, the person he was waiting for appeared.

"You're Lin Yi?"

Unlike worlds without mystical elements, in worlds with mystical elements, the upper echelons do not need any external pomp and circumstance to highlight their status and power. Their mere existence is enough to represent everything, just like Dao Yin Zhenren, who appeared in the room "silently".

Turning around, Lin Yi revealed a "puzzling" expression: It's only natural that a disciple who isn't even a formal disciple of the 29th generation could have come into contact with the sect leader in front of him before.

Looking coldly at the "Qionghua disciple" before him, Dao Yin Zhenren hesitated for only a moment before extending his palm and saying in a stiff tone, "Relax your mind."

—The art of soul searching.

Sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Dao Yin Zhenren, Lin Yi quickly connected it with a spiritual technique called "Soul Searching Technique" that he had recently found in the mind of the 28th generation Qionghua disciple. However, this technique was different from the one the 28th generation Qionghua disciple remembered. It was more than one level higher in both strength and profundity, and should be an advanced version of "Soul Searching Technique".

In essence, different power systems still have some similarities. For example, the soul-searching technique in the world of immortals and heroes can achieve the same effect in the world of magic through magic such as "mental suggestion," while in the case of the main god, it is a kind of "forced consciousness retrieval."

Whether it's soul-searching techniques, mental suggestion, or forced consciousness retrieval, they all have similar aftereffects: irreversible damage to the brain.

The best-case scenario for a cultivator who has been hit by the Soul Searching Technique is that their spiritual energy is scattered and they become a mortal. However, for Lin Yi, who has not yet become a true cultivator and is still a novice disciple, to undergo the Soul Searching Technique in his "mortal" status, the only possible outcomes are either going insane or experiencing brain death.

As Lin Yi admired Dao Yin Zhenren's swift decision, his left eye narrowed slightly as he looked at him—

Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 207 Sword Control Technique

"Why must the sect leader do this?"

Just before the "root" from another world was about to shake the spiritual rules of this immortal world, a sudden voice interrupted the conflict, and the person subconsciously glanced at the figure that appeared to the side.

His attire suggests he is an ordinary 28th generation Qionghua disciple, but the two swords he carries on his back and the way he speaks to the "Sect Leader" make him seem anything but an ordinary Qionghua disciple.

What Lin Yi found most intriguing was that even Dao Yin Zhenren, who had been treated this way, did not show any anger or displeasure. Instead, he hesitated for a moment and then canceled the Soul Searching Technique in his hand.

"Tianhe, what are you doing here?"

Quickly, the memories retrieved from the previous Qionghua disciple matched the figure carrying two swords in front of him.

Murong Tianhe, the number one disciple of the twenty-eighth generation of Qionghua, was also the powerful cultivator who defeated the other seven sects in the Kunlun Sword Tournament two years ago. Considering that he had only been a disciple for a little over ten years, this was quite incredible. The best evidence was that the Qionghua disciple who was "dealt with" by Lin Yi had been a disciple for thirty-seven years but was still just an ordinary patrol disciple. Murong Tianhe, who was only half his age and had only half his cultivation time, achieved a success that Murong Tianhe could not even look up to: the dual champion of swordsmanship.

This is by no means a title that can be obtained simply by having enough strength. Rather, it is a comprehensive evaluation that takes into account aptitude, innate talent, and, most importantly, spiritual roots. They are also recognized as two of the most promising cultivators in the entire Divine Continent to attain immortality in the future.

Faced with such a senior brother, the Qionghua disciple never felt the slightest competitive spirit until his death; he only felt a near-worshipful admiration. And in Lin Yi's view, he did indeed possess this "charm." Putting aside everything else, the fact that he saved a "new disciple" of unknown origin in front of a sect leader was quite suspicious.

"I heard that a junior disciple was coerced by the demon race to leave Qionghua five years ago. He only managed to return after going through many hardships. Out of curiosity, I came here, but I never expected... Sect Leader, may I ask what grave mistake this junior disciple has made?"

"...He didn't make a mistake, but he himself is wrong."

"Why?"

"No one can prove that what he experienced in the past five years was indeed as he said. In recent years, the demon race has been making many moves, and this disciple may be a pawn planted by the demon race."

"Does the Sect Leader have any evidence?"

"none."

"Then the sect leader has no right to punish this junior disciple, let alone use such a vicious spiritual technique as the Soul Searching Technique!"

Completely disregarding the identity of the person before him, this sword master reprimanded him as if he were addressing a peer who had made a mistake. Interestingly, Dao Yin Zhenren not only did not become angry but instead showed a gratified smile: "Then what do you want?"

"If the Sect Leader is at ease, this disciple is willing to take on the responsibility of monitoring and guiding this junior disciple. If he is not lured by the demon race, then there will be no problem. But if he is indeed coerced by the demon race, this disciple will definitely lead him to the righteous path!"

Dao Yin nodded slightly, his tone smiling, "Since that's the case, he's in your hands. Remember, at this crucial moment, you must not show the slightest bit of womanly compassion!"

"Disciple obeys. (2) Draft three more verses to evoke the intention."

Just as it appeared, it disappeared without a trace. After having the main god record this abnormal situation, Lin Yi looked to the side and saw this cultivator who was hailed as the most promising immortal in the Divine Land.

Before Lin Yi could say anything, this "Uncle Murong" spoke with a warm smile: "Nephew, there is no need to be afraid. The sect leader is just saying that he is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He would never really do anything to you."

If it were any other novice disciple who knew nothing about spiritual arts, they might have actually believed it, but Lin Yi just smiled and remained silent.

"Although my junior nephew has been a disciple for five years, he has not been able to stay in the sect for long due to the demons of the Illusionary Darkness Realm. Since we have nothing to do now, why don't I take my junior nephew to appreciate the splendor of Qionghua?"

Although he was somewhat uncomfortable with the enthusiastic attitude of this "Uncle Murong," Lin Yi had no reason to refuse the invitation, neither because of his identity nor his position, so he "happily accepted."

"Measuring the land with footsteps is a mundane practice. Cultivators should act like cultivators. This time, let my junior disciple experience what it's like to be an 'immortal' in advance."

With a smile, Murong Tianhe gently made a sword gesture. Just as Lin Yi successfully matched it with a certain hand gesture in the memory of that Qionghua disciple, the crystal blue sword on Murong Tianhe's back lightly leaped into the air, hovering in front of Lin Yi half a foot off the ground.

"Nephew, go ahead and do it."

Seeing Murong Tianhe step onto another crimson spirit sword, Lin Yi already knew what he wanted to do.

as predicted--

"Swordsmanship!"

----------segmentation----------

If we were to ask what humanity's greatest pursuit is, then after satisfying the basic desires of reproduction, food, and sleep, it would be the yearning for this vast and boundless sky. In ancient times, people depicted their fantasies on every unreachable planet in the sky, believing that immortals lived and cast spells there. Some even put this yearning into action, such as using gunpowder to propel themselves towards the "heavenly court."

Among all these pursuers, cultivators are probably the group that has gone the furthest.

They endured the elements and sacrificed other desires to gain the power to fly into the sky—the power to control spiritual energy. This power, after a long evolution and development, gave rise to a concept: cultivation of immortality.

By absorbing spiritual energy, transforming spiritual power, and casting spiritual spells, one can transform oneself and achieve the greatest wish of ascending to immortality and becoming a celestial being.

Sandwiched between the mortals and the immortals lies this seemingly endless sky.

Some cultivators once attempted to ascend to immortality by leaping across the gale-force winds with their physical bodies to reach the "Heavenly Court." Sword control was one of these explorations. However, after this method of "physical ascension" was proven impossible, some cultivators who noticed the convenience and efficiency of sword control picked it up again and improved it. As a result, this technique has been thoroughly developed and popularized thousands of years later. Nowadays, cultivators are embarrassed to call themselves cultivators if they don't carry a flying sword with them when they go out.

"From this perspective, I am indeed not a cultivator."

At an altitude of 3742 meters, peeking through the clouds at the faintly visible towns and cities, Lin Yi remained completely unmoved, unlike Murong Tianhe who wore an expression of pure enjoyment.

P.S.: Um, I'm going to add an extra chapter as I please?

Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 208 The Realm of Illusion

After experiencing his first sword flight in this unexpected way, things proceeded smoothly after he returned to Qionghua.

However, when they went to collect the cultivation resources for the new disciples, they heard some interesting things from this "Uncle Murong".

"The Illusionary Realm is a demon realm that was captured by Qionghua with the Xihe and Wangshu swords nineteen years ago. Qionghua has prospered for the past nineteen years thanks to the spiritual power within it. Even Junior Nephew Lin was able to join Qionghua because of the influence of the Illusionary Realm."

At this point, Murong Tianhe paused slightly: "Nephew Lin, do you know what is most important to a cultivator?"

This problem might be difficult for others, but for Lin Yi, who has already ventured into the four fields of viruses, intelligence, machinery, and magic, it's a piece of cake.

"Spiritual energy."

Just as the foundation of a virus is life, the foundation of machinery is energy, and the foundation of magic is magic power, all systems are necessarily derived from existing things. If even the most fundamental energy does not exist, then nothing can be said.

Similarly, the existence of cultivators and immortals in this world of immortals and heroes is entirely due to the influence of "spiritual energy." If it weren't for this energy that can be absorbed and utilized by humans, these high-ranking cultivators would probably just be ordinary people struggling to make ends meet.

Murong Tianhe nodded slightly, revealing an appreciative expression: "That's right, it's spiritual energy. But does Junior Nephew Lin know that the spiritual energy in this land has its limits?"

Lin Yi had to admit that he was slightly surprised by his "uncle's" remarks. The finiteness of non-renewable resources is a basic common sense for everyone in modern society, but for this era—especially for cultivators who rely on spiritual energy for survival—isn't it the most important topic to ignore?

Unaware of Lin Yi's unusual behavior, Murong Tianhe said in a solemn tone, "All cultivators know that the closer one is to the 'Heavenly Light,' the more abundant the spiritual energy becomes. However, mortals cannot be in contact with the 'Heavenly Light' for long periods of time. Therefore, they can only search for blessed lands full of spiritual energy throughout this vast land to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation. Kunlun Mountain, where Qionghua is located, is one of the best blessed lands."

It's obvious, otherwise, considering the breadth of this world and the number of cultivators, it would be impossible for eight cultivation sects to emerge in a small "Kunlun Mountain".

The principle is roughly the same as the flow of people. When a region has enough "resources", it will automatically attract a large flow of people, forming a settlement of a certain size. When the "resources" of that place are depleted, the opposite will happen. However, according to the saying that there is "Kunlun Heavenly Light" on Kunlun Mountain, it is estimated that there is still a long time before this depletion period.

This raises a question: why is Qionghua so eager to capture the Illusionary Realm to absorb spiritual energy when the spiritual energy resources of Kunlun Mountain have not yet been exhausted?

"No matter how much porridge there is, it can't withstand the large number of people sharing it."

Shaking his head slightly, Murong Tianhe's attitude was not particularly serious when faced with this question involving certain sensitive events within Qionghua: "The spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain has maintained that intensity for thousands of years, but as the number of cultivators and sects on Kunlun Mountain increases, the amount of spiritual energy that each cultivator can absorb naturally decreases, and the strength of the sects naturally weakens. In order to stop this process, the only way is to offset it by obtaining external sources of spiritual energy."

—Or, reduce the number of cultivators on Kunlun Mountain.

Of course, Lin Yi wasn't foolish enough to say such a thing as a "righteous disciple," so he remained silent in the face of Murong Tianhe's statement.

"The Illusionary Realm is a small world inhabited by the Illusionary Demons. The Illusionary Spirit Stones and spiritual energy contained within it are enough to allow Qionghua to expand more than twice its current size. If it were nineteen years ago, with my nephew's five spiritual roots, he probably wouldn't have had any chance of joining the Qionghua Sect. But he just happened to encounter a period when Qionghua's spiritual energy was abundant. It can only be said that it was fate."

Five spiritual roots are the most efficient spiritual root aptitude that cultivators possess. Not to mention compared to the "Heavenly Spiritual Root" possessor who has only one chance left, it is far inferior to those with three or two spiritual roots. However, this kind of spiritual root also has its advantages. First, it is unrestricted in the types of spiritual techniques that can be used—it can encompass all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Secondly, the demand for spiritual energy is small... Naturally, the spiritual energy that someone with a spiritual root absorbs in one night is enough for you with five spiritual roots to absorb for hundreds of days. Perhaps it was because of this "low consumption" idea that they recruited me into their sect at that time?

Just as Lin Yi was pondering the cause of the events that occurred five years ago, Murong Tianhe revealed a look of emotion: "Nineteen years ago, we succeeded in capturing the Illusionary Darkness Realm with our twin swords to seize its spiritual energy, but this also forged a deadly feud with the Illusionary Darkness Demon Clan. Including my nephew's encounter five years ago, recently, many demons have frequently invaded Qionghua, causing numerous deaths and injuries among mortals..."

As if realizing he had spoken to the wrong person, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Nephew Lin, is there anything you don't understand about Qionghua?"

"Thank you for your concern, Martial Uncle. I have no further questions, but..."

"Please speak freely, my nephew."

"I have finished raising the spirit beast. What is there to do?"

Every disciple of Qionghua plays a role in the sect, such as patrolling, planting, refining pills, exorcising demons... Five years ago, Lin Yi would have had to take on the task of raising spirit beasts, but now it seems he doesn't. However, this doesn't mean he can just stay in the sect doing nothing. At least before "achieving success in cultivation," he must take on certain tasks, which is something every Qionghua disciple should abide by. This is also one of the foundations for maintaining a sect; otherwise, if everyone in a sect only cares about their own cultivation, it would be better to disband the entire sect.

"In that case..."

After thinking for a while, Murong Tianhe suddenly said, "Why don't you come with me to the Sword Washing Pool to practice for a few days, so that you can prepare for sword forging in the future?"

~Liu Ming'er⑵③Shi VIII八罒Lin Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, then readily agreed: "Yes."
