The First Crossover

Browsing through the Daoist scriptures and the Sea of ​​Wheels scroll posted by Ye Fan, Lin Yuan's heart remained calm and undisturbed.

Using one's own body as a seed is a benefit left by the Desolate Emperor to all living beings in the world of Shrouding the Heavens. As a "native" who is about to be immersed in the world of Devouring the Stars, there is naturally no such thing as the Sea of ​​Bitterness in his body.

Although it cannot be used for cultivation, as part of the Emperor's Scripture, the Wheel Sea Scroll can still provide Lin Yuan with great inspiration.

For example, even though he is now an immortal god and his physical body has been transformed into a divine body composed entirely of divine power, he can still draw on the methods of opening up and cultivating the sea of ​​suffering in the Scroll of Wheels to condense a sea of ​​divine power within his body that governs the generation of divine power.

Its main purpose is to cultivate the divine power of this part of the body using a special construction method, so that its strength far exceeds that of other parts of the body.

Once the ocean of divine power is stabilized, the divine body can be gradually modified using the structure of the divine power there as a template. In the end, it may even be possible to achieve significant progress without needing higher-level laws, while still having a divine body strength that is much stronger than that of an immortal of the same level!

……

Five hundred years passed quickly, and Lin Yuan, who had been cultivating in the quiet room for a long time, opened his eyes.

"Phew... After hundreds of years, I finally succeeded!" Feeling the slightly unstable yet much denser ocean of divine power three inches below his navel, a look of joy appeared on his face.

For years, Lin Yuan had been trying to condense a sea of ​​divine power, but the original rules of the universe could not be altered. Without a sufficient understanding of the higher laws, he could not reconstruct stronger divine power and could not possess the same tranquil sea of ​​suffering as the people in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

Therefore, he took a different approach, drawing on the spiral compression method from many cultivation novels, to make his divine power rotate continuously around a point below his navel. Combined with the method of stabilizing the sea of ​​suffering in the Scroll of Wheels, he finally cultivated a sea of ​​divine power after hundreds of years.

The density at its center point is much greater than that at the edge. Due to the continuous compression of the Qi Sea spiral, Lin Yuan's total divine power increased slightly, and his divine body has adapted to this change, maintaining relative stability without needing to be distracted.

Although it's only a slight improvement, it's important to know that a million years is just a nap for an immortal powerhouse. As long as the time span is long enough and the divine power ocean within his body continues to exert its power, it's possible for Lin Yuan's divine body strength to double.

Just as he was about to continue researching how to make it more stable, a message in the chat group interrupted him.

[Zhang Zhiwei: Are Fellow Daoist Lin and Junior Brother Ye Fan here? The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony will begin shortly after I finish taking photos with the tourism bureau staff. You can submit your cross-industry applications now.]

[Ye Fan: Okay, senior brother, I've sent my application. Please approve it.]

[Lin Yuan: Old Zhang, could you send me an item that carries your aura? I need to determine what level of divine power clone I should use to go there.]

Ye Fan's cultivation level is still low, so going directly there won't be any problems, but it's different for Lin Yuan.

If we don't pay close attention, a fully-fledged being at the level of an immortal god could descend directly and potentially destroy the world of Under One Person.

[Zhang Zhiwei: Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment.]

Not long after, a whisk was sent to Lin Yuan via a group red envelope.

[Zhang Zhiwei: Fellow Daoist Lin, this is a whisk passed down to me by my master. It has been in my hands for decades and should meet your requirements.]

"This..." Looking at the whisk in his hand, which was mainly made of vines mixed with steel wires and had a small copper hammer in the middle for added weight, Lin Yuan was speechless, but quickly expressed his understanding: "After all, it is a magical artifact passed down from the war years, so it is reasonable for it to be used for self-defense and combat."

Judging from the residual aura above, the Heavenly Passage Man's strength before joining the chat group was close to the planetary level.

With a thought, Lin Yuan created a ninth-tier planetary divine power clone. Then, the group teleportation function was activated, and a deep spatial passage immediately appeared in front of him.

By placing a portion of his consciousness into his divine power clone, he took a step and the scenery before him changed; he had arrived at Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, part of the world of Under One Person.

As I walked out of the passage, I was greeted by two kind-looking old Taoist priests, one of whom had lost both his arms and legs and was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Huh? Old Zhang, this must be your junior brother!" Lin Yuan asked, somewhat surprised. "Didn't you say in the group chat that the Thousand-Year Spirit Marrow could cure him? Why is he still like this?"

"Brother Lin Yuan, you may not know this," a voice came from behind. It was Ye Fan, who had just arrived.

"My senior brother thought that instead of constantly guarding against others, it would be better to scare away all those who coveted this secret in one go." He explained with a smile, "So he exchanged a Logia-type Devil Fruit with Whitebeard, had Senior Brother Tian eat it, and then pretended that his injuries had not yet healed, so that he could wipe out the Quanxing gang in one fell swoop when the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony began."

Tian Jinzhong, in his wheelchair, said with gratitude, "You must be the Fellow Daoist Lin that my senior brother mentioned. I must thank you for providing the millennium spiritual essence, which allowed me to stand up again. Please accept my bow, Fellow Daoist."

As he spoke, mud appeared on his hands and feet, quickly transforming into flesh and connecting with his severed limbs. Moments later, his body was completely intact.

Tian Jinzhong rose from his wheelchair and respectfully bowed to Lin Yuan, who accepted the gesture without hesitation.

He provided the Millennium Spirit Essence. Although he has told the group members that it was a fair trade, everyone knows that it was Lin Yuan helping the group members from a lower-level world. After all, how much use was the Six Treasures Immortal Thief to him?

Walking with them towards the meditation room, Lin Yuan smiled and asked the young man beside him, "Ye Fan, how does it feel to be back on Earth?"

"How should I put it?" Ye Fan smiled wryly, "Although I know this isn't my Earth, I still feel a strong sense of familiarity with it, and I miss my parents even more."

"Then Junior Brother Ye must cultivate diligently." Zhang Zhiwei, pushing Tian Jinzhong, interjected, "I saw it clearly in the memory instance. As long as you go back three years earlier, you can see your father and mother, and even guide them onto the path of cultivation. You will have plenty of time to spend with them in the future."

"I understand." Ye Fan nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

By joining the chat group and knowing in advance what will happen in the future, he can make full use of all the time that would otherwise be wasted on his cultivation path.

"This time, there definitely won't be so many regrets!"

……

"Everyone, thank you for waiting."

Besides the routine sacrifices, the Luotian Grand Ritual has always been an opportunity for us Qi cultivators to exchange ideas.

I understand everyone's feelings, so since you all want to have a friendly competition, let's begin.

Due to limited space, the Heavenly Stems represent the order of entry for the competition. There are four of each animal, and those who draw the same animal enter together to compete. Only one of the four can advance to the next round of selection.

Alright, enough chit-chat. I hereby declare the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony officially open!

On the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Chulan and his group were preparing for the competition. Ye Fan also went along to watch the excitement, hoping that he could help Senior Brother Zhang solve some troubles after the competition.

But Lin Yuan had already left alone. He had no interest in the low-level competition between superhumans, and even Zhang Chulan's famous scene of walking his bird under the moon didn't appeal to him much.

……

With a divine thought covering the entire globe, he took a step forward, and the folds of space were gently torn open by his fingertips. The next second, his feet were firmly planted on the ground.

The air was filled with the sweet, pungent smell of the sea. Instead of soil, there was a thick layer of rotting leaves and tangled aerial roots underfoot, making the ground feel soft and yielding.

The giant tree in front of them blocked out the sky, its branches so thick that it would take several people to encircle it, and its vines hung down like giant pythons, some of which shimmered with a pale blue light, clearly having been mutated by the island's rich Qi over a long period of time.

Looking further into the distance, at the edge of the treeline, there is a faint outline shimmering with a white light, carrying an aura of holiness and deathly stillness—that is the direction where the sacred tree is located.

This is Nathan Island, a lost island that exists in modern society yet still lives a feudal and primitive life, a place where villains and schemers gather.

The mischievous Li Muxuan hid here for decades. His daughter, born to the previous King Nasen, regarded the sacred tree as her entire faith and ignored her father.

Ruan Feng, one of the few survivors among the Thirty-Six Thieves, could not accept that he had become a man-eating monster, yet he lacked the courage to die, and had been hiding on the island for decades.

Yaoxing Society's Qu Tong sent Wang Guoping to infiltrate Nasen Island for three years, all to deceive Liu Ku Xian Zei. As a conman by trade, he was perfectly suited for this task.

Even the two former and current leaders of the "Paradise" organization appeared here.

Strangely, Besdia became one of Nathan's Nine Guards, always shrouded in black robes, his identity and stance questionable; the Hanging Man who defeated him was secretly accumulating strength, plotting to overthrow the order, advocating that power is freedom, and believed that the greatest evil in the Super God Academy world definitely had something in common with him.

……

Deep in the desolate forest of Nathan Island, Lin Yuan treaded on the fallen branches, his gaze piercing through the shade of the trees and landing on the old man sitting quietly against one of them.

His beard and hair were gray, but his skin was supple, and his eyes held an undisguised weariness and hunger. He was none other than Nguyen Phuong, who had retreated to this place to escape the world.

Lin Yuan didn't stop, walking straight to three steps in front of Ruan Feng, his voice calm and even: "Ruan Feng, hand over the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief."

Before Ruan Feng could react, Wang Guoping, who had been bowing and serving him, suddenly straightened up, his eyes filled with contempt and arrogance:

"Where did this brat come from, daring to be so insolent in front of Master Feng? The Six Treasures Immortal Thief is something you're not worthy of! You're tired of living, daring to cause trouble on Nathan Island!"

Before Wang Guoping could finish speaking, and before he could even see Lin Yuan make any move, the cracking sound of his bones breaking rang out like popping beans.

The fawning and arrogance on his face froze instantly. Before he could even scream, his body crumbled into pieces and vanished completely into the desolate forest.

From beginning to end, Lin Yuan didn't even spare a glance for Wang Guoping, as if he had merely crushed a bothersome mosquito.

Ruan Feng slowly raised his eyes, and his previously weary pupils suddenly lit up, like the light of a starving beast seeing a rare delicacy.

He grinned, revealing a greedy smile, his voice filled with extreme desire: "Interesting, so very interesting... In all my years, I've never seen 'food' like you. The aroma of your life force and vitality is so irresistible that I can't control myself..."

Ruan Feng suddenly sprang up, spitting a mouthful of thick phlegm towards Lin Yuan. The saliva of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief cultivator had long since become the most ferocious digestive fluid, just like the purple-gold red gourd and the jade bottle in the hands of Golden Horn and Silver Horn, which could turn a person into thick liquid in a short time.

But his attack was swallowed up by a sudden spatial rift just a foot away from Lin Yuan, and Ruan Feng, who was rushing over, was also frozen in place, his greed and madness freezing on his face.

His saliva corrodes Qi, and even innate superpowers cannot withstand its erosion. How could it be resolved by a spatial rift? Moreover, the rift was as big as the saliva. Is such control and reaction speed something a human could possess?

Looking at Ruan Feng, who was frozen in mid-air, Lin Yuan's tone remained calm: "Since you refuse to hand it over, then I'll just have to see for myself."
