Chapter 1341: Chapter 20: Master Lin

Twenty years passed, neither long nor short.

During these twenty years, after Lin Yuan took over Black Wind Village, he mainly did two things.

First, he cultivated, striving to enhance his own strength as much as possible.

Second, he nurtured his subordinates, establishing a power centered around Black Wind Village.

In this loop world, even the strongest Entering Dao Masters are mere mortals, at most one person can face a thousand troops.

No higher power exists, even for Lin Yuan.

Therefore.

Building a force and nurturing capable subordinates is imperative.

Especially when the enemy is the emperor of Da Feng.

The Da Feng dynasty rules the world and can command Entering Dao Masters and even Entering Dao Masters.

If Lin Yuan were still fighting alone, not to say he definitely couldn’t kill the Da Feng emperor, the difficulty would certainly be very high.

However, establishing a force strong enough to contend with the Da Feng dynasty, serving Lin Yuan and following his commands.

Would definitely give Lin Yuan a more proactive stance in the test to kill the Da Feng emperor.

Furthermore, enhancing one’s strength does not conflict with nurturing subordinates.

Both can be pursued simultaneously by Lin Yuan.

As a time loop trapping countless individuals at the twelve-tier consummation, it’s a test personally set by the Supreme Rule Dao.

Targeting each twelve-tier consummation.

Apart from the Myriad Realms Gate possibly escaping the observation of the Supreme Rule Dao.

Lin Yuan’s other methods, such as the use of the Rune Dao in this looping world.

Are probably all projected within the Supreme Rule Dao’s predictions.

Even so.

The test of ’killing the Da Feng emperor’ was still given.

It can be imagined that there must be some key information that Lin Yuan currently doesn’t know.

Under such premise, Lin Yuan will naturally make the most prudent plans, utilizing all the power he can borrow.

As for the World-Breaking Origin Force of the Myriad Realms Gate?

That’s the final trump card, and Lin Yuan won’t use it unless absolutely necessary.

…

Black Wind Village, on the training ground.

A group of young people sat cross-legged, letting the scorching sun shine on them.

These youths were selected by Lin Yuan from around Black Mountain, possessing the talent to become Entering Dao practitioners.

Compared to the Da Feng dynasty’s method of broadly nurturing practitioners.

Lin Yuan used the Rune Dao to observe various future timelines, thus more precisely identifying common people who might become practitioners.

Although the future holds countless possibilities, and becoming an Entering Dao practitioner involves many influencing factors.

Under Lin Yuan’s training, the chance of anyone chosen becoming a practitioner reached 60%.

“Boss, what brings you here?”

Lin Yuan entered the training ground, and a lean man immediately approached him respectfully.

His name was Ruan Yi, a highly valued subordinate of Lin Yuan’s, currently possessing the strength of an Entering Dao Master.

Ruan Yi was an abandoned infant from a village near Black Mountain, raised with the food and shelter provided by many families. During a search for winter supplies, he ventured into Black Mountain and was eventually targeted by a pack of wolves.

If it weren’t for Lin Yuan’s intervention, Ruan Yi would have almost certainly met his end.

Such an orphan, his talent in entering Dao is a rare occurrence in Da Feng over the past century, achieving the level of Entering Dao Master in just ten years.

Now, he’s considered among the strong within Entering Dao Masters.

In fifty years, he has the prospect of reaching the realm of a Heavenly Master.

“Just came to take a look.”

Lin Yuan casually said, “How are the disciples being nurtured?”

“Thanks to your guidance, boss, they’re doing very well.”

Ruan Yi said respectfully.

As an Entering Dao Master, one would command great respect in the outside world.

Only the Da Feng dynasty could make Entering Dao Masters wary.

But in front of Lin Yuan, Ruan Yi dared not show any disrespect.

Firstly, because Lin Yuan had done him a great favor.

Without Lin Yuan, he would have died in the wolves’ mouths long ago, let alone become an Entering Dao Master.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan’s power… every time Ruan Yi tried to sense Lin Yuan, it felt like perceiving the vastness of heaven and earth.

“That will do.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Twenty years passed.

The number of Entering Dao practitioners he trained exceeded a thousand.

Entering Dao Masters exceeded twenty.

These practitioners now spread across the ninety-nine states of the heavenly lands.

Becoming pieces in Lin Yuan’s future fight against the Da Feng dynasty.

He watched for a while.

Lin Yuan continued to return to his place for solitary cultivation.

“Judging by the time, Third Uncle should return soon, right?”

Lin Yuan thought and a series of runes appeared before him, starting to observe the timelines relating to Third Uncle.

[At thirty-eight, you ordered Third Uncle to Man State to establish trade routes, where he successfully managed various faction relationships but was stopped by the Golden Dragon Sect on his return.]

[A month later, Third Uncle died at the hands of the Golden Dragon Sect.]

…

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

Before sending Third Uncle to Man State, he specifically watched dozens of future timelines to confirm no danger before taking action.

However, the future holds infinite possibilities, and merely looking at dozens of timelines cannot lock in the future, ensuring Third Uncle won’t face any danger.

It’s just a high probability that he wouldn’t encounter danger.

“Golden Dragon Sect?”

Lin Yuan rubbed his chin.

The Golden Dragon Sect is a native practitioner force in Man State, considered one of the three strongest forces there, with an Entering Dao Master holding the fort.

Golden Dragon Sect attacking Third Uncle did not surprise Lin Yuan.

Boiled down to two words.

Interests.

Lin Yuan founded a force and cultivated a large number of practitioners, whose demand for resources and money must be vast.

For this reason, Lin Yuan specially established trade routes to amass wealth, supporting the operation of his forces.

However, the fortunes of the world are fixed; Lin Yuan opening a trade route would inevitably impact local powers.

Previously, when Lin Yuan established other trade routes, he concurrently placed many backhands, making local powers angry but wary of acting rashly.

Lin Yuan’s approach was measured, not monopolizing all interests at once, but moderately distributing a portion.

So as to form a balance.

Only now.

The Golden Dragon Sect did not hesitate to offend Lin Yuan’s forces to strike at Third Uncle.

There must be some unforeseen variable.

Lin Yuan continued using the Rune Dao to delve deeper into future timelines to clarify the principle among them.

“The Entering Dao Master of the Golden Dragon Sect is nearing death, causing the sect to lose its biggest pillar. It’s already very wary, and at this time, Third Uncle’s appearance made them believe an external power was intruding?”

Lin Yuan quickly uncovered the truth.

“Forget it.”

“It’s best to go out and handle it personally.”

Lin Yuan observed several hundred more timelines.

He had made his decision.

The Golden Dragon Sect is ultimately a Heavenly Master level power.

For them attacking Third Uncle, apart from himself, others would have a hard time ensuring Third Uncle’s rescue.

Additionally, Lin Yuan’s trip to Man State this time is part of his own plan.

The Golden Dragon Sect is on the verge of collapse, more suited to be incorporated under Lin Yuan’s forces.

And making a move against the Golden Dragon Sect at this moment, as observed in many timelines by Lin Yuan, will not lead to major issues.

…

The border of Man State.

In a dense forest.

A hunched-back old man, Uncle San, was frantically fleeing.

In the past twenty years, under Lin Yuan’s guidance, Uncle San had also become an Initiate Daoist.

However, due to talent limitations, he was still not an Entering Dao Master.

Ordinary Initiate Daoist strength, combined with the methods of a martial artist.

Uncle San’s combat power was already very close to an Entering Dao Master.

Bang!

It seemed that Uncle San had sensed something.

His fleeing stopped abruptly.

He stared tightly ahead.

Four figures in golden robes slowly emerged.

“Old man, why did you stop running?”

The golden-robed man on the far left looked at Uncle San and said sarcastically.

“People of the Golden Dragon Sect, I have no designs on Man State, I merely came to develop a trade route.”

Uncle San sighed inwardly and said with cupped fists.

If possible, he would rather not have any conflict with the Golden Dragon.

Being the most top-notch force native to Man State, and having an Entering Dao Master-level expert in residence.

To completely offend such a force, Black Wind Village’s long-standing trade would essentially be over.

Uncle San was well aware that Lin Yuan placed considerable importance on Man State; otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him here specifically to develop a trade route.

“Whether you have designs or not isn’t about words, you should come back with us.”

The golden-robed man standing in the middle said indifferently.

The forefather was on the verge of passing, and the Golden Dragon Sect was extremely wary of any Initiate Daoists entering Man State.

Afraid that someone might take advantage of the sect’s weakest period to cause trouble.

“You don’t even ask for my identity, yet you’re taking me back; is the Golden Dragon Sect this domineering?”

Uncle San’s expression was somewhat unpleasant.

Surrendering to be taken back by the Golden Dragon Sect?

He absolutely did not want that.

It wasn’t about losing face.

But rather the concern about exposing Lin Yuan and the existence of the forces behind him.

“Then tell us, who are you?”

The golden-robed man at the side said mockingly.

“I am…”

Uncle San frowned.

“No matter who you are, as long as you’re within Man State, apart from Da Feng, you fall under the management of my Golden Dragon Sect.”

The golden-robed man in the middle said.

The hunched-back old man in front had the strength of just an ordinary Initiate Daoist.

Plus, acting so surreptitiously, running as soon as he saw them.

Definitely had nothing to do with the Da Feng dynasty.

If he really was an official Initiate Daoist of the dynasty, why would he flee so?

…

On the branch not far away.

Lin Yuan appeared silently, watching the four golden-robed men blocking Uncle San.

Before making a move, innumerable runes floated within Lin Yuan’s eyes, observing the various timelines of the future, determining the impact of his next move.

…

“I have no interest in Man State.”

“I still hope for some accommodation from the Golden Dragon Sect, offering a token of a hundred thousand taels of gold in gratitude afterward.”

Uncle San steadied himself, speaking in a low voice.

“A hundred thousand taels of gold?”

“Quite a grand gesture.”

The golden-robed man at the side looked at Uncle San.

A hundred thousand taels of gold, an extremely valuable amount of gold.

A hundred thousand taels of gold could support all expenses of the Golden Dragon Sect for a year.

“Come back with us.”

The golden-robed man in the middle remained indifferent.

“Surrender willingly and come back with us quietly, or be captured and taken back?”

The golden-robed man at the side stepped forward, playfully looking at Uncle San.

He was an Entering Dao Master, confident he had the strength to completely subdue Uncle San.

“Golden Dragon Sect, I’ve taken note of you.”

Uncle San’s expression turned dark, a hidden murderous aura emerging in his eyes.

Determining that he couldn’t persuade the Golden Dragon Sect, he also grew weary of pretending.

The aura within him roiled, Spiritual Power swiftly rising.

During his time with Lin Yuan, he had also learned some Initiate Daoist Secret Techniques.

Among them were Secret Techniques that greatly boosted strength, but such Secret Techniques have many hidden dangers.

“Hmm?”

Just as Uncle San was about to erupt.

A slender, white right hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.

“Young Master?”

Uncle San turned back, seeing a young man standing behind him, startled.

Wasn’t the Young Master at Black Mountain? When did he get here?

“Young Master, the Golden Dragon Sect…”

Uncle San immediately prepared to inform Lin Yuan about everything concerning the Golden Dragon Sect and the current situation.

“I know it all.”

Lin Yuan nodded, looking towards the four golden-robed men, “I’ve long heard of the Golden Dragon Sect’s name, today I’m here to ask for advice.”

“Just you?”

The golden-robed man at the side looked at Lin Yuan disdainfully, from Uncle San he could feel hints of an Initiate Daoist’s aura, but from Lin Yuan?

No aura of an Initiate Daoist circulated at all.

From his perspective.

Lin Yuan was no different from ordinary mortals.

“Wait.”

Just as the golden-robed man at the side wanted to make a move to deal with Lin Yuan and Uncle San together.

The golden-robed man standing motionless in the middle, his eyes faintly glowing gold, raised his hand to stop the golden-robed man at the side, his gaze on Lin Yuan growing ever more serious.
