Chapter 74: Innate Yin-Yang Divine Light (Part 2)

Lin Yuan activated the divine power of the Heavenly One Water Mother Divine Rune. He controlled the Heavenly One True Water to make way, and in an instant, carved out a cave dwelling within an underwater reef cluster.

Lin Yuan wasn’t skilled in carving techniques. He simply released his Flying Sword and casually slashed a few times, forming a simple cave dwelling.

After the cave was opened, Lin Yuan stepped inside. His gaze swept over the interior as another talisman seed within his body emitted a faint glow. With a point of his finger, a gentle divine power spread out, quickly concealing the entrance of the cave from the outside.

Any River God from the Main World who saw this would certainly understand the depth of skill involved.

The Post-Heaven Divine Path inheritance in the Main World was nearly perfected, its lineage extremely complete.

Cultivators of the Post-Heaven Divine Path, depending on their aptitude, could—if their Incense Offerings were sufficient—choose some additional divine runes to cultivate alongside their main one to enhance their abilities.

Ordinary River Gods could usually cultivate about six runes as supplementary aids.

Slightly more powerful ones, if they managed well, could cultivate nine types of talisman seeds.

A River God capable of cultivating nine talisman seeds was already quite formidable.

Rare individuals could cultivate twelve Divine Way Talisman seeds. Such River Gods had immense potential, and their methods were among the best.

But Lin Yuan was rather abnormal. He had cultivated thirty-six talisman seeds. Relying on the incomparably rich Heavenly One True Water in the Primordial World, he forcefully shaped all thirty-six talisman seeds. It wouldn’t be long before he could likely cultivate them to the twenty-fourth layer.

This wasn’t surprising. Among the things Lin Yuan possessed, he didn’t have much else, but his cultivation conditions were uniquely advantageous.

His gaze swept over the concealment barrier formed by layers of profound divine power, and Lin Yuan felt somewhat satisfied.

A divine barrier of this level should be able to suppress the strange phenomena emitted by the Innate Divine Demon’s remnant corpse. But after a moment’s thought, just to be safe, Lin Yuan opened his mouth and spat out a divine light.

The Heavenly One Water Mother Divine Rune flew out and merged into the divine barrier above his head, stabilizing it. Only with this careful action did he feel at ease.

Then he took a deep breath. The Merit Golden Lamp flew out and settled in his palm. A wisp of golden-red flame flashed at the center of the simple cave, and a corpse exuding terrifying pressure appeared before Lin Yuan—the body of an Innate Divine Demon.

Faint Innate Divine Power drifted from the corpse, transforming into wisps of Innate Divine Thunder power, a breathtaking sight.

It impacted the divine barrier above the crude cave, its power immense, making the barrier tremble and seem on the verge of collapse.

Yet for Lin Yuan, he felt a powerful, instinctual attraction.

Eagerness flashed in his eyes. After steadying his mind, a contemplative look passed through Lin Yuan’s gaze.

At this moment, he had two plans for utilizing this Innate Divine Demon corpse.

First, refine the corpse with overwhelming power, extract the innate thunder essence within, and then consume it to enhance his own mastery of innate thunder essence.

Lin Yuan considered this method and decided against it.

Who knew what hidden tricks a Postnatal Dao Master-level Innate Divine Demon might have? If it caused his own innate foundation to shake and become impure, it would be too late for regrets.

That left only one method: direct observation and comprehension.

Lin Yuan was confident that with his comprehension ability, plus a living Primordial Divine Demon Dao Body, he could grasp the profound mysteries of the Innate Thunder Method contained within.

As long as he comprehended the mysteries of the innate thunder method, he could also strengthen his own foundation and enhance himself.

And the insights gained would be purely his own understanding, carrying no marks or traces of the demon, making them extremely pure.

The only drawback was that it was somewhat slower!

Just as he was about to act, suddenly Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with inspiration. Earlier, he had only focused on wanting to comprehend the innate thunder method within the other’s body, overlooking an important step—

He hadn’t even searched the corpse yet?

Amused, Lin Yuan instantly looked at the Innate Divine Demon corpse, his gaze growing eager again.

Most Innate Divine Demons were extremely confident. Many liked to carry their treasures with them.

Just like the silver ring found from searching a previous corpse, this Innate Divine Demon would certainly not leave its treasures elsewhere; most likely, eight or nine times out of ten, it carried them.

Could there be this demon’s cultivation Dao Scripture among them?

If he could find the other’s cultivation method, it would save a lot of hard work.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and examined for a moment. He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them sharply after a few breaths. A point of divine power suddenly pierced into the middle dantian of this Innate Divine Demon.

Bang!

Accompanied by a pale purple divine thunder, a jade basin glowing with treasure light appeared before his eyes.

A Treasure-Basin?

Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned. This was a very ancient storage treasure.

Clearly, he had guessed correctly.

But his hands were not slow. A point of divine power shot out several dozen feet, crashing into the small storage treasure, breaking its spiritual restrictions!

Fortunately, the owner of this storage treasure had been utterly erased, so even the marks on this treasure had dissipated.

In an instant.

Streams of spiritual light burst from the Treasure-Basin. One spiritual item after another emitted dazzling treasure light, almost flooding the cave.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He moved, transforming into a faint golden light, appearing above this sudden treasure mountain. With just a glance, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

With so many spiritual materials, he could now freely forge treasures in the future, no longer worried about lacking materials for practice.

Instantly, Lin Yuan’s gaze fell on the center of the hill-like pile of spiritual materials. There were several dozen stone slabs flashing with strange Wu Script.

Dao Scripture?!

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up. With a casual gesture, dozens of stone slabs emitting an odd aura floated up. After just a glance, a trace of joy appeared in Lin Yuan’s eyes.

These were some Wu Sect cultivation methods, mostly Divine Demon Body Tempering techniques, along with several extremely powerful offensive methods—techniques related to Divine Demon Dao Body combat, extremely rare.

Additionally, there were three very peculiar arts. One was a strange formation called the Heaven-Severing Formation, with immense power.

Besides these, Lin Yuan also found the thunder method cultivated by this Innate Divine Demon!

But looking at this piece recording the Innate Divine Demon’s cultivation method, even with Lin Yuan’s mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but show great delight.

“Scripture of Dutian Divine Thunder”!

It recorded that this was a method created by Ancestral Witch Qiangliang of the Wu tribe. Like many divine demons, this Ancestral Witch was formed from the essence-blood creation after the great god Pangu perished. Along with eleven other Ancestral Witches, he once entered the Pangu Hall left behind after Pangu’s death at Mount Buzhou.

In Pangu Hall, not only did he obtain a part of the heart’s essence-blood left by the great god Pangu, but also a part of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit Dao Seal left after his demise.

It was from Pangu’s Primordial Spirit Dao Seal that this Ancestral Witch inherited the supreme Dutian Thunder Method.

Just one look, and Lin Yuan was overjoyed!

This was a windfall! He had found something good!

It seemed this demon had brought its entire fortune, even possibly the inheritance texts of its dynasty, all on its person!

And Lin Yuan had taken it all in one go!
