"The clan elder is calling me?"
Heiyu Qin suddenly felt a shiver run through him.
"Come at once."
Although he didn't know what the clan elder wanted with him, Heiyu Qin knew that he must not defy the elder.
Quickly.
Heiyu Qin appeared before the clan elder.
"Elder."
Heiyu Qing bowed deeply, keeping his posture extremely low.
"Heiyu Qin, I have sent you a document, take a good look at it," the clan elder took a deep breath, "then give me an explanation."
"Ah?"
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Heiyu Qin immediately began to receive the document the clan elder had sent.
"The Red Kun Lineage, the true identity of Shisan Peak Master, is in fact an Evolver from the Dawn Star System, from Canglan Star, named 'Lin Yuan'..."
The more Heiyu Qin read, the more panicked he became. His heart trembled, his legs went weak, and he found himself unable to control his own body, collapsing onto the ground.
Lin Yuan?
Hadn't he been cut off from trading with Canglan Star by his nephew Heiyu Ao, all because of this Lin Yuan?
And now.
This Lin Yuan's identity was Shisan Peak Master?
Heiyu Qin felt the world spinning, breathing became unbearably difficult.
He was keenly aware of what his actions meant; he himself had initiated the trade cut-off and had spread the word that it was all because Lin Yuan was disrespectful.
But now.
Lin Yuan had become the Shisan Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage, one of the high-ranking beings of the Chikun Star Domain. One couldn't merely talk about himself; even the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Heiyu Mo of the Heiyu Family would have to treat Lin Yuan with utmost respect.
And he had tried to suppress Lin Yuan?
"Heiyu Ao, Heiyu Ao, you have doomed me! You have put me beyond redemption..."
Heiyu Qin crawled to the elder's feet, clutching his thighs, "Elder, none of this has anything to do with me; it was all Heiyu Ao, it was all his doing."
"I have no grievances against that Lin... against the honorable Shisan Peak Master, it was all Heiyu Ao's orders..."
Heiyu Qin wept bitterly.
He understood that he was finished, regardless of whether he wanted to do it or was ordered by someone else. As the person directly involved in suppressing the Shisan Peak Master, he was bound to meet no good end.
Yet, even in death, there were differences. The Heiyu Family had ways to make the guilty wish for death.
"Heiyu Ao?"
The clan elder closed his eyes, "I will speak to the family about this."
"As for you..."
The clan elder looked at the sobbing Heiyu Qin.
In an instant.
A guard approached and subdued Heiyu Qin.
Only after Heiyu Qin had been taken away did the elder turn around to face the others behind him.
They were all high-ranking members of the Heiyu Family stationed in the Dawn Star System, each of them looking grave.
Before Heiyu Qin arrived, they had already gathered and almost fully grasped the situation.
"Gentlemen, the time concerning the life and death, the survival of our Heiyu Family, has come," the clan elder said somberly.
Life and death.
The rest trembled slightly at the thought.
Indeed, it was a matter of life and death.
The Heiyu Family had grievously offended the Shisan Peak Master?
As one of the Chikun Star Domain's five grand powers, deeply rooted with far-reaching influence, the Heiyu Family wouldn't face immediate issues even after offending the Shisan Peak Master.
But given enough time, it would undoubtedly weaken rapidly, and might completely perish after hundreds or thousands of years.
Therefore, the situation the Heiyu Family was facing could indeed be considered life and death.
"If we'd known earlier, we should never have given Heiyu Qin the power. To cut off all trade with a life planet might not be a major issue, but it is not a trivial matter either. If it had been reviewed by us, perhaps such an incident wouldn't have occurred."
"It's only a possibility. Heiyu Ao is a direct descendant of our family. If he had come to us asking to cut off trade with Canglan Star, would you have disagreed? The mistake lies in the fact that a middle-grade life planet like Canglan Star could give birth to a great person like the Shisan Peak Master, and Heiyu Ao just happened to run into the Shisan Peak Master."
"Since it has already happened, discussing this is pointless. What's critical now is how to resolve the animosity the Shisan Peak Master has towards our Heiyu Family?"
"Heiyu Qin will certainly have to be handed over, but the main culprit is Heiyu Ao, and Heiyu Ao..."
The people in the room discussed fervently. They had the power to decide Heiyu Qin's fate, but as for Heiyu Ao, after all, he was the son of Heiyu Mo.
How to deal with Heiyu Ao had to be in consultation with Heiyu Mo's wishes.
"I will go and speak on this matter."
"It concerns the family heritage; no matter who it is, those who must be sacrificed will have to be, as long as it can recover the favor of the Shisan Peak Master... as long as it can eliminate the Shisan Peak Master's animosity towards our family, no price is too great..."
The clan elder stood up, looked at everyone, and declared firmly.
...
Chikun Main Star.
Official member cultivation site.
Fang Qing was sitting cross-legged, imagining the likeness of an 'Ancient God' in his mind.
The Evolution Path of the 'Ancient Gods' is simple in practice yet difficult in theory.
```
That was to meditate on the 'Ancient God' corresponding to one's own evolutionary path and to imitate that entity as much as possible.
The reason this was difficult was that even a minor mistake could lead to retaliation and possible death on the spot.
"Huff."
Fang Qing finished his cultivation, a look of relief washing over his face.
Just at that moment—
"Fang boy, quickly look at the document, go look at the document!!!"
A roaring voice came through, unmistakably from the white-bearded old man.
"What's the rush, what could possibly be so important?"
Fang Qing's brow furrowed slightly, feeling that his mentor was prone to overreacting, as if he had never seen the world before.
"Are you going to look or not!"
The white-bearded old man's tone rose a few notches.
"Fine, I'll look, but I certainly won't be like you..."
Fang Qing immediately skimmed through the document, muttering to himself as he read.
Until—
"The true identity of Shisan Peak Master is an Evolver from Canglan Star in the Dawn Star System named 'Lin Yuan'..."
"What the fuck?" Fang Qing was astounded.
"Big Brother Lin is Shisan Peak Master?" Fang Qing felt bewildered, rereading the document several times to confirm that the 'Lin Yuan' mentioned was indeed the 'Big Brother Lin' he knew, and not somebody with the same name. His mind turned to mush.
It took a moment for him to somewhat snap back to his senses.
"This... this... this..."
Fang Qing's eyes widened, and though he was alerted by the white-bearded old man that Lin Yuan must have some sort of ace up his sleeve—
Otherwise, he wouldn't foolishly refuse Heiyu Ao's recruitment.
But this ace... was it not too big?
The Thirteenth Peak Master of the Red Kun Lineage? Was this his fucking trump card?
"So that's how it is."
"I was wondering why, with your Big Brother Lin's talent, it would be impossible for him to pass the Seven Star Cave trial, even a waste like you passed, it made no sense. So that's how it is."
"So that's how it is."
The white-bearded old man's voice, filled with sudden understanding, kept ringing in Fang Qing's ears.
Fang Qing's mouth twitched, he had some objections to the old man's constant calling him a waste, especially in comparison to Big Brother Lin, so he immediately dared not say much more.
"Shisan Peak Master..."
Fang Qing couldn't help but look up, staring off at the fourteen peaks standing tall in the center of the Main Star.
...
Inside the palace.
Lin Yuan was sitting cross-legged.
"Life Essence, imprint, merging into the universe?"
Lin Yuan pondered carefully while feeling everything within his body.
After stepping into the Sixth Rank, his Physical Soul underwent significant metamorphosis. Lin Yuan faintly sensed a deeper layer of space within the Cosmic Starry Sky.
Compared to before his breakthrough into the Sixth Rank, the Door had become more majestic, solemn, and insurmountable. Not only did it no longer appear ethereal, but it also seemed more like a physical object.
13:51
Since Lin Yuan became aware of the Door to the Myriad Realms,
Whether it was real or an illusion was unknown, but Lin Yuan felt that it was a place unreachable by mere flesh and blood.
According to the Red Kun Lineage's description of that space, it should be the Origin Source space of this Cosmic Starry Sky.
It's the most central place of the universe, where only ethereal entities like Life Imprints are able to merge.
As for life? Even the most powerful beings could not enter the Origin Source space.
"Life Essence..."
Lin Yuan slowly circulated the power within his body, resonating faintly with that layer of space.
"I can feel it."
"It should be about to merge soon."
Lin Yuan's spirit shuddered. Merging the Life Imprint did not require much skill, otherwise, it wouldn't be achievable by a Sixth Rank Evolver.
Upon sensing the space where the Life Imprint rested, the final merge was imminent.
As the Life Imprint continued to merge, Lin Yuan felt more at ease, able to spare a bit of consciousness to attend to other matters.
"The Door to the Myriad Realms..."
A thread of Lin Yuan's consciousness reached the depths of his mind.
This was his first visit here since advancing to the Sixth Rank.
"What's this?"
No sooner had Lin Yuan's consciousness reached this place than he noticed changes to the Door to the Myriad Realms.
Compared to before his breakthrough into the Sixth Rank, the Door had become more majestic, solemn, and insurmountable. Not only did it no longer appear ethereal, but it also seemed more like a physical object.
Since Lin Yuan became aware of the Door to the Myriad Realms,
this colossal gate had always been ethereal, even when the outer regions were illuminated, you could still discern its ephemeral nature.
But now, the Door to the Myriad Realms actually gave Lin Yuan a tangible sensation.
Furthermore,
as Lin Yuan gazed at the Door to the Myriad Realms,
a vast amount of information flooded into Lin Yuan's soul from the Door.
