Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

"You seem to care a lot about this girl. To be honest, are you a little interested in her?"

The Path of the Temple of Radiant Light.

"It seems to exist, but it doesn't."

Lin Yan shook his head.

To say that there is absolutely none would be a lie.

Qiao Biluo had accompanied him through the darkest period of his adolescence, and her significance to him was no less than that of the Holy Dragon Venerable.

But if we really say we like or love each other, it doesn't seem quite enough.

Because the gap between his cultivation level and Qiao Biluo's is indeed too great now. Even if he doesn't mind the difference in cultivation level, the barrier between them is a real thing.

It's like two childhood friends, one of whom has made a lot of money while the other remains poor. Even if you don't want to admit it, the real gap between the two still exists.

"She helped me a lot back then, and now that I'm capable, I should repay her. If we're destined to be together, we might be able to rekindle our relationship. If not, at least I can protect her for the rest of her life."

Lin Yan shook his head.

He moved swiftly and arrived at the Lin family's residence.

In the current Douling Continent, the Lin family can be considered the number one family, far surpassing other ancient races. However, the Lin family has not acted recklessly like the Qin family and other Douling families before them.

This is because everyone in the Lin family knows the temperament of their ancestor, Lin Yan.

If anyone in the Lin family causes trouble, Lin Yan will eliminate them without outsiders needing to intervene.

Lin Yan serves as both a backdrop and a deterrent and constraint.

This also led the Lin family to develop in a positive direction.

"We pay our respects to our Ancestor!"

The Lin family's senior members were extremely excited to see Lin Yan and all knelt down in worship.

"I came back to the Douling Continent and took the opportunity to visit you all."

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yan sent several storage rings to the Lin family's higher-ups. These storage rings contained cultivation resources.

It also includes Lin Yan's cultivation insights.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

The Lin family members all held it in high esteem.

After leaving behind the resources, Lin Yan met the Holy Dragon Venerable and the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Emperor. The Holy Dragon Venerable's cultivation had now reached the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, a cultivation speed that was simply exaggerated.

"Master, at this rate, it should take about another thousand years before we have a chance to break through to the Dou Ling Realm."

Lin Yan smiled.

The cultivation speed of the Holy Dragon Venerable is much faster than that of many five- or six-star geniuses in the Void Great Dao Sect.

"This is all thanks to the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique. If it weren't for the unique features of this technique, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to reach this level so easily. However, I'm almost at my limit. If I want to break through again, I'll have to go to the starry sky. The resources of the Douling Continent can no longer satisfy me."

"I can't help but say," said the Holy Dragon Venerable.

The Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique allows for rapid breakthroughs with the right resources, requiring almost no accumulation.

It's very friendly to people at lower levels.

However, once you reach a higher level, you'll encounter a problem: you need to constantly collect dragon-attribute Dao Fruits.

"Wait a bit. The starry sky is in chaos lately. It's not too late for you to go out after I've resolved the turmoil. I also brought back some cultivation resources this time. I estimate that they should be enough for Master to cultivate to the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."

Lin Yan took out a storage ring, which was specially prepared for the Holy Dragon Venerable.

It contains a wealth of resources, including the blood of a dragon-attribute emperor.

"Haha, with these resources, I'm confident I can cultivate to the Dou Ling Realm within five hundred years."

The Holy Dragon Venerable was overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Brother Shenglong, you have a good disciple."

The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Emperor was extremely envious.

He has lived from ancient times to the present day and has only barely cultivated to the Dou Ling Realm, with the second level of Dou Ling still a long way off. Yet the Holy Dragon Venerable has reached this level in less than a thousand years.

And all of this is because of Lin Yan.

If it weren't for Lin Yan, even if the Holy Dragon Venerable cultivated for another 100,000 years, he still wouldn't have become a Great Emperor.

"Senior Nine Tribulations, I have also brought you some gifts this time."

Lin Yan waved his hand, and several orbs of light appeared.

That was none other than the Dao Fruit of the Battle Spirit Realm!

For Lin Yan now, the Dao Fruit of the Battle Spirit Realm is of no value whatsoever; it's not even worthy of restoring his cultivation.

But for the people of Douling Continent, it is an unparalleled treasure.

"These are gifts for me?"

The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Emperor was excited.

A Dao Fruit represents the entire cultivation of a Dou Ling Realm cultivator.

It contains not only energy, but also the essence of Tao!

The fruit of Tao is hard to come by!

Each Dao Fruit represents the entirety of a Dou Ling Realm cultivator. Who would be willing to selflessly dedicate their entirety to another?

Moreover, he was the only one in the Douling Continent at the Douling Realm, so there was no chance of getting close to him.

If he only relies on immortal jade, it's impossible to know how long it will take to slowly accumulate enough to reach the second level of the Battle Spirit Realm. But with Dao Fruit, he can quickly improve his cultivation level.

"That's right, these Dao Fruits are all for you. My master can't use them either; he can only use the power of the Dragon Clan."

Lin Yan smiled.

"Thank you very much, young friend!"

The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Emperor solemnly clasped his hands and bowed.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Lin Yan informed the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Emperor and the Holy Dragon Venerable about the great chaos in the outside world.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Venerable Saint Dragon asked.

"No need. You are too weak. You won't be of any help even if you go. I'm only here to inform you to evacuate first. Douling Continent is no longer safe. Come out again after this calamity is over."

Lin Yan said.

"Retreat? Where to retreat to? Didn't you say there's chaos outside? Even the Void Grand Dao Sect might not survive the catastrophe..."

The Nine Tribulations Heavenly Emperor was puzzled.

"That's why I came here today."

Lin Yan walked forward into the void with his hands behind his back.

The Ancestral Dragon Dao Fruit within his body roared, and ripples appeared in the space-time in front of him, forming a space-time vortex, which Lin Yan stepped into.

At the other end is the Chaos Ancient Cave.

This is the very place where Lin Yan attained enlightenment. Lin Yan is extremely familiar with it and has been here many times.

But this time when he came again, Lin Yan discovered some unfamiliar things.

"This ancient chaotic cave indeed contains the Great Dao of Time and Space! And the level of this Great Dao of Time and Space is quite high!"

Lin Yan gazed into the void, where countless crystal threads appeared, all of which were the power of spacetime.

This power of spacetime even surpasses that of the small tower!

It should be noted that the small tower is a half-step Yuanhai realm magic weapon, and its overall combat power is even stronger than that of ordinary Yuanhai realm magic weapons! However, the spacetime power here surpasses that of the small tower, which is extraordinary!

This means that the strength of the Ancestral Dragon back then may have exceeded the Yuanhai Realm!

"Tsk! Indeed, this is no ordinary place! I never expected that such a small, low-level continent would harbor such profound secrets!"

The Temple of Radiant Light was suddenly surprised.

"Senior, is there something fishy going on?"

Lin Yan was curious.

Although he could sense the extraordinary nature of the Great Dao of Time and Space here, which he couldn't see through, he couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was.

"The power of spacetime here is almost divine!"

The spirit of the temple whispered.

"Near the immortals?"

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat.

When he first encountered the Dao Fruit of the Ancestral Dragon, he had heard similar claims that the Ancestral Dragon was almost a celestial being.

Later, after refining the Ancestral Dragon Dao Fruit, Lin Yan didn't think much of it, only believing that the Ancestral Dragon was probably just a rather special emperor.

The legendary immortals may be a respectful title used by weak cultivators to address emperors in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But now, upon seeing the Chaos Ancient Cave again and hearing about immortals from the Flowing Light Temple, Lin Yan vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
