Baron Longshan could be certain that the empire would inevitably intervene, and by then, Longshan Yuan might be forcibly summoned to the capital.

“From now on, Ayuan’s sensation of the Qi Sea will not be two breaths, but five hours…”

Baron Longshan pondered for a while before seriously saying to Longshan Zhu.

Feeling the Qi Sea within two hours is the qualification of a future potential great knight, but Baron Longshan still felt it was a bit too conspicuous.

Five hours, five hours would be just right, with the talent to become a Fourth Level knight, it wouldn’t draw too much attention from other forces.

“Good.”

Longshan Zhu immediately replied.

He understood this was an unprecedented opportunity for the Longshan Family. All they needed was the patience to wait for Longshan Yuan to grow, and it would be the moment for the Longshan Family to soar.

“Ayuan is the hope of our Longshan Family, I absolutely will not allow anyone to threaten Ayuan…” the Baron mused to himself.

…

After Lin Yuan emerged from the Longshan Family’s underground cultivation ground.

He faintly felt that there were eyes watching him.

“Have they sent someone to protect me?” Lin Yuan had his suspicions.

He demonstrated a portion of his talent just to gain the wholehearted resource allocation from the Longshan Family, so he could be more efficient in his upcoming cultivation.

This was also the experience Lin Yuan had accumulated over his eight previous traversals. As for whether it would arouse the Longshan Family’s wariness?

Longshan Yuan was a pure-blooded member of the Longshan clan, and also the third in line for succession. The stronger his talent, the better it was for the Longshan Family.

Moreover, the talent Lin Yuan had revealed was already quite restrained, merely instantaneously sensing the Qi Sea, which wasn’t much.

Thump thump thump.

At this moment, Dashan, standing three to four meters tall, approached with large strides.

“Young Master, I heard that you sensed the Qi Sea in five hours…” Dashan asked with a bit of naivety.

“Yes…” Lin Yuan nodded.

Not long after sensing the Qi Sea, Longshan Zhu returned again, continually reminding him not to expose the real speed of his Qi Sea sensation.

Lin Yuan was naturally aware of the intention behind such admonishments and agreed cooperatively.

“Sensing the Qi Sea in five hours means your knight talent must be very high,” Dashan said with a booming voice.

It had taken him almost a day to sense the Qi Sea back in the day.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Yuan said.

“Okay.”

Dashan immediately bowed down to let Lin Yuan sit on his shoulder.

Over three meters tall, Dashan was like a small giant, and Lin Yuan sitting on his shoulders felt nothing out of the ordinary.

“The starry sky is truly beautiful…” Dashan ran while looking up towards the heavens.

It was already night, and the vast and profound ‘stars’ emerged, their terrifying power perceptible even from distances vast beyond comprehension.

“Indeed, it is beautiful,” Lin Yuan agreed.

Meanwhile, a flood of information about the ‘stars’ above the sky came to mind. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

Life in this realm, after cultivating to the level of a Seventh Level Demigod, would need to gather faith and eventually uplift their Divine Kingdom, entering the Ocean of Light or the Dark Abyss.

Why is it called ‘uplifting the Divine Kingdom’?

It’s because the Divine Kingdoms of the gods ascend above the sky, turning into the everlasting ‘stars’.

In other words, each ‘star’ Lin Yuan was looking at represented a god’s Divine Kingdom. The stronger the god, the more terrifying their corresponding ‘star’ would be.

The ‘star’ representing the twenty-four Prime Gods was magnificent and grand, their dreadful presence shaking much of the starry sky.

Even Lin Yuan, despite the incomprehensibly vast distance separating him from those twenty-four stars, felt a sense of awe and trepidation.

By feeling the Divine Kingdoms of the stars, Lin Yuan had a vague sense of the true strength of the Prime Gods.

Each Prime God was no weaker than special beings like Hunyi, and they weren’t too far from the Tenth Rank.

“This world’s cultivation system… actually places the Inner World outside… But by doing so, the Inner World relies entirely on the Main World, and its growth rate must be very fast…”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Eighth Layer beings of the Main Universe all had the worlds they opened up inside themselves, hence it’s called the Inner World. In this way, one would have absolute control over their Inner World. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Inner World is the foundation of Eighth Layer life. To place it outside would be too dangerous.

But this also caused a sense of separation between the Inner World and the Main World, preventing the full utilization of the Main Universe’s power for growth, which is why Ninth Rank Evolvers strive so hard to open up layers upon layers of Spatial Layers.

To increase the thickness and depth of their Inner World as much as possible.

“It’s a rather good cultivation system,”

Lin Yuan nodded, realizing that externalizing one’s inner world had many benefits, such as accelerating its growth and reducing the burden on oneself.

Of course, there was an obvious downside: if an enemy were to directly strike the stars in the sky above, wouldn’t they be able to hit a god’s weak spot?

Whether it was the gods’ Divine Kingdoms or the inner worlds of those from the Eighth Layer, they were all foundational cores; a collapse would have incalculable consequences.

“Dashan, do you think those stars could fall?” Lin Yuan asked casually.

“Fall?”

“The stars?”

Dashan’s eyes widened, somewhat unable to grasp the concept.

Each star represented a god, and the falling of a star meant the demise of the associated god.

But in Dashan’s understanding, gods were eternal, dwelling high above the Ocean of Light, overlooking the mortals below.

How could gods possibly fall?

“Young master, how could a star fall down?” Dashan asked.

He had never contemplated this, having seen many stars in the sky since his birth, which had not changed over the years.

“Indeed,”

Lin Yuan nodded.

…

Soon,

with Dashan running wildly, Lin Yuan soon arrived home.

His parents had been waiting for a while, clearly informed in advance.

In this world, among the twenty-four Prime Gods of the Ocean of Light, there was one known as the Goddess of the Magic Web, whose divine power weaved a Magic Web that spread throughout humanity.

Any message could be conveyed through the Magic Web, quite conveniently.

“Son, your talent for knight training is even stronger than mine, you truly are my, Longshan Fang’s, son hahaha…”

Longshan Fang immediately shouted excitedly.

Five hours to sense the Qi Sea… that’s surely the seed of a future Fourth Level Knight.

Within the vast Longshan Ling, there were no more than twenty Fourth Level Knights; each one was the foundation of the Longshan Family, the strongest deterrent against other Viscount territories.

“And you still have the face to say he’s stronger than you?”

A woman with the appearance of a young wife couldn’t help saying, “I remember when you first sensed the Qi Sea, it took you almost half a month.”

“Just admit that he’s stronger than me,”

Longshan Fang said indifferently.

Being a little stronger is still being stronger.

Being a hundred times stronger is still being stronger.

If it were another member of the Human Race sensing the Qi Sea in five hours, Longshan Fang would have likely made some sarcastic remarks. But this was his own son.

In Longshan Fang’s heart, there was only pride.

…

After a few words with his parents,

Lin Yuan returned to his cultivation room.

“So many Longshan Fruits?” Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of fruits already laid out there.

The Longshan Fruit, a type of Spirit Fruit produced by Longshan Ling, contained a significant amount of energy, which could aid knights in their cultivation.

When Lin Yuan was previously sensing the Qi Sea, Longshan Zhu had also brought a Spirit Fruit, planning to have Lin Yuan swallow it when he sensed the Qi Sea.

With the help of the immense energy in the Longshan Fruit, locking onto the Qi Sea waves would be easier.

The energy contained in the Longshan Fruit was not only immense but also gentle. Even if one couldn’t absorb it, it would remain dormant within the flesh, slowly absorbed when possible in the future.

Therefore—

Longshan Fruits were extremely precious, with normal Human Race individuals receiving one a month, and even that was based on the premise of having a talent for knight training.

Yet now, Lin Yuan’s cultivation room had dozens of Longshan Fruits laid out.

The majority of the Longshan Family had never seen so many Longshan Fruits in their lifetimes.

“I can’t cultivate for now,”

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, casually picking up a Longshan Fruit and swallowing it, feeling the gentle strength flowing through his limbs and body.

What Lin Yuan needed to do most now was to recover as much as possible the Original Essence Qi deficit caused by Longshan Yuan’s years of indulgence in pleasures of the flesh.
