Chapter 912 – Three Ways to the Absolute Apex
There were truly many cultivators who had other thoughts running through their heads while they were on the blessed prayer ground comprehending the dao. They believed that this was the best time to ambush a rival.
But once they witnessed Zhuo Kuanglan’s example, all of these people felt cold sweat running down their backs. They secretly rejoiced that they hadn’t taken action yet.
“A momentary slip caused him to lose the chance of a lifetime.” There were some people who pitied him and inwardly sighed.
They were all aware that Zhuo Kuanglan was a peerless individual from the Feather Sword Sect who had a deep and immeasurable understanding of the sword.
The Number One Fortune was so close at hand, yet he had slipped up and caused himself to be banished. This was a tragedy.
That being said, there wasn’t any true hatred between him and Lin Xun. The only reason why he acted was because of Xie Yutang.
Xie Yutang was also from the Feather Sword Sect, but he had been suppressed and overwhelmed by Lin Xun at the Sinking Sea. Zhuo Kuanglan saw that as an insult and immediately expressed his desire to get justice for his fellow disciple.
Unfortunately, he was expelled before he could even fight Lin Xun. Everyone was surprised.
“He can only blame himself for this.”
As for Lin Xun, he wasn’t affected at all.
Even if Zhuo Kuanglan hadn’t been expelled by the external power, his ambush was destined not to work. In fact, he would have been rebuffed quickly.
……
The grounds were old and mottled and were filled with the aura of age. A group of cultivators was all sitting on the prayer mats as the air echoed with the abstruse sound of the great Dao.
It resembled a true Saint chanting.
This was not only a precious experience for Lin Xun, but it was also an incomparably good fortune for the other cultivators.
This was a true Saint’s experience and understanding of the Dao. Any hint that was being taught was a priceless treasure and hard to find. Even the eyes of the old freaks in the king stage would turn green at this.
As time passed, every expert who had come to a realization here revealed happy expressions. They had gained a lot from this session.
For a moment, the area that had been revealed by the bronze bud became silent and was filled with an aura of solemnity.
All of the experts were doing all they could to comprehend the lessons here that were left by an ancient true Saint.
Lin Xun was glowing all over as he experienced the different dao paths.
Every single dao path was mysterious beyond comparison. They were filled with difficult secrets, which made Lin Xun sink further within them as he tempered his own dao path.
Only now did he realize that there wasn’t just one so-called supreme path!
There were some who cultivated their bodies to the extreme, tempering their blood to forge a new shell. This led them to transform their physical selves, reaching an unprecedented height and firmly establishing themselves at the summit.
This path could be called the ‘Saint’s Body’ path.
Then there were people who carefully cultivated their qi by inheriting the methods of the past and developing them for the present. They practiced thousands of secret arts and all sorts of dao techniques before finally mastering them and sublimating them into a whole path. By doing so, they also stepped onto the supreme path.
This path could be called the ‘Saint’s Qi’ path.
Then there were those who gave up on the physical and focused on the spirit, specializing in mind techniques, cultivating the spirit, controlling the spirit, accumulating spirit power, transforming spirit power…every step of the way led them to the supreme summit.
This path could be called the ‘Saint’s Spirit’ path.
These three different cultivation methods were called the ‘Three Ways to the Absolute Apex,’ and each method contained its own obscure and mysterious aspects.
Since ancient times, those who were able to walk the supreme path had all used a method that was encompassed by one of the Three Ways to the Absolute Apex.
However, every cultivator had a different path to the apex, so there was no easy way to lump them all together.
As for the path that Lin Xun was using, it was under the umbrella of the Saint’s Qi path.
……
Lin Xun had never thought that he would encounter some mysteries regarding the absolute apex on the magical blessed ground.
In the past, he had been feeling his way through the dao on his own, experimenting and working until he reached his current state.
Even by doing that, there were still many enigmas that he had yet to untie. This was because there was very little about the absolute apex, and any information regarding it could only be found by chance. This made it inevitable that he’d be unable to find enough information to analyze it.
Things were different now. During his meditation, different paths to the apex had appeared before him, changing into different experiences and lessons. This allowed him to study these paths. Although it wasn’t a true inheritance, he had gained a lot.
However, before long, he began to frown. His comprehension starting from the True Martial Stage to the Cyclic Derivation Stage had gone smoothly, making him feel euphoric. Any questions he had within his heart about those stages had been easily resolved. But when he reached the end of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, his gains had grinded to a halt.
“That’s not right, the other experts are still in the midst of comprehension…based on that it must mean that whatever stage we reach is what we can experience.
“Since I am someone who has stepped onto the absolute apex path, I can only comprehend up to this path and review those experiences.
“This blessed prayer ground is too magical. But of course it is an inheritance from an ancient true Saint!”
Lin Xun continued to ponder as he sighed wondrously over this.
This kind of inheritance wasn’t a true enlightenment or technique, but instead, it was a type of tool for cultivating experiences. It was obvious that the ancient true Saint had done this because they didn’t want future generations to copy their path and instead wanted them to find their own paths.
This was a way for future generations to analyze and understand their own experiences, guiding them down their chosen path. If they hadn’t reached a certain state, then it was destined that there was no way for them to comprehend more.
Since there was no way for him to exceed the Cyclic Derivation Stage comprehension, Lin Xun did not try to force it. His mind was clear as he began to comb through his own experiences and path.
Buzz~
More time passed, and the void began to undulate constantly, bringing more experts away as they vanished from the area.
Some had lost themselves and their dao heart, so they were eliminated.
Some had reached the limits of their comprehension and still tried to force it. Unfortunately, going too far also had its consequences, so they sank into an ego block and were banished.
Then there were also the people who had fallen into the illusion in the midst of their practice and believed that they had found the most perfect path to follow, so a heart demon appeared and they were eliminated.
This was the treacherous path to the great Dao. Although this was a chance, not just anyone could bear it.
Following that, only about a dozen people were left on the vast grounds.
Lin Xun was the first to wake up. He had thoroughly comprehended everything that was given to him and had incorporated what he had learned into his own path. He now completely understood the absolute apex path he was on, so there was nothing more for him to practice.
He immediately got up without any reluctance.
All of the remaining people were shocked by this.
This was because Lin Xin was the first who had not been eliminated after finishing. So what did this mean?
Did that mean that Demon God Lin’s cultivation understanding of the Cyclic Derivation Stage had reached the same level as the true Saint from ancient times?
In actuality, Lin Xun had already reconstructed his cultivation stages to perfection when he was in the Deva Secret Realm. Thus, he didn’t need to do much to fix his current cultivation path.
In fact, he had been comparing notes earlier to confirm his current path. Therefore, he had come to enlightenment very quickly.
Very few of the other cultivators had stepped onto the supreme path, so there were many hidden flaws within their own cultivation. Thus, they needed to spend more time and effort to analyze the examples before them.
……
Outside Cangwu Mountain.
As more and more experts were eliminated from the blessed prayer ground, waves began to occur on the outside, and the clamorous sounds did not end.
At the same time, news regarding Lin Xun killing Sha Liuchan, Zhongli Wuji, Lei Qianjun and the others had also been brought out by some cultivators. This immediately caused a sensation.
There was a White Jade Lightning Lion that was expressionless as it stood there with icy eyes.
Everyone could feel a chill come off of it that made their skin sting. It felt as if there were daggers pointing at their backs, causing goosebumps to rise.
This White Jade Lightning Lion was Lei Qianjun’s mount and was also his dao protector. It had immense power, but once news came out that Lei Qianjun had died, it had become furious.
The other experts also showed differing expressions. Their eyes flashed like lightning and killing intent filled the air, making the other cultivators' hearts thump loudly.
“This Demon God Lin needs to be punished!” uttered the Azure Flame Horned Beast in a chilly manner. Azure divine flames ignited around it. It was Mu Jianting’s dao protector.
Although Mu Jianting hadn’t been expelled from the mountain yet, the fact that he had been defeated twice by Lin Xun made the Azure Flame Horned Beast angry.
Even Granny Jin Po, who was one of the most important people there, couldn’t stop her heart from palpitating. Demon God Lin had actually begun a slaughter fest at the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree, causing multiple peerless geniuses to fall. It was impossible to stay calm after hearing that.
“Even if he survives, he’s bound to come out sooner or later,” roared a Black Jade Dragon Elephant that was Zhongli Wuji’s dao protector, causing the heavens to shudder. Many experts were so scared that they trembled.
Icy cold killing intent filled this area. All the experts knew that Demon God Lin had pierced the heavens and gotten into big trouble!
“The area around the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree has long been a killing ground where life and death could be decided on a whim. So why does Demon God Lin have to be suppressed and chased just because he killed a few peerless geniuses?”
There were also some people who felt that Lin Xun was being unfairly targeted. They believed that the ancient orthodoxies were using their own might to bully Lin Xun, who had no backer.
“If the Crape Myrtle Sword Demon’s Ye Chen from the North Dipper World was still here, then these experts would have no choice but to bear it and keep silent.”
“In conclusion, they’re only doing this because they think Lin Xun is easy to push around!”
The crowd discussed this amongst themselves. Regardless of what happened, it was destined that this news would spread throughout West Infinity World. The young Demon God Lin was fated to become famous.
……
Within the area of enlightenment, the atmosphere was austere and only around a dozen of experts were left. They were all meditating quietly, using all of their ability to comprehend what was given to them.
On the other hand, Lin Xun was strolling quietly around the area of enlightenment, observing everything within it.

The blessed prayer ground was vast and empty and had the scent of age hanging around it. It was extremely old.
Lin Xun truly could not have imagined that when the single bronze bud bloomed it would evolve into an extremely mysterious and ancient area of enlightenment.
The rumors should be true then. There was definitely an ancient orthodoxy in the past on Cangwu Mountain where the Saints converged. All of the spaces here, inducing the Ancient Dao Lantern Tree, are all ways to test their successors.
Or perhaps only those who could pass these tests were the true disciples of the ancient orthodoxy and could inherit the mantle…
But, what I wonder is, if this orthodoxy had a group of Saints here, why did it get destroyed in the river of history? Why does no one know about it? Even the rumors don’t have much. The erasure is a bit too complete.
Also, if this orthodoxy truly existed in the ancient past, what would the name be?
Lin Xun combed through his memories of entering Cangwu Mountain and all of the experiences thus far. He truly now believed that there was something odd going on, and it was full of mystery.
Clang!
Right as Lin Xun was deep within his own thoughts, the air echoed with the sound of an ancient and ethereal bell ringing.
