Over the years, Lin Xun’s standards had grown increasingly selective. Especially after attaining eternity, ordinary Immortal treasures no longer caught his eye. Moreover, he had crushed the Ten Immortal Giants of the Eighth Heaven Domain one by one and slain many Eternal Realm beings, reaping all manner of rare treasures each time. Divine materials, elixirs and artifacts had long since become a common sight to him.

However, when he beheld the fortune accumulated by the Yang Clan over countless ages, even he could not help but pause. His gaze lingered.

Before him, treasures were piled like mountains. Rare divine materials, precious ingredients, ancient herbs, and countless strange and wondrous items were all meticulously sorted by category.

There were treasures suited for the lower five cultivation stages, followed by those for the Longevity King Stage, Saint Stage, Quasi-Emperor Stage, Emperor Stage, and Immortal Stage...

Each tier possessed its own exclusive resources, and all of them were top-grade. The Ninth Heaven Domain itself was a realm bordering on eternity, rich with magnificent mountains and rivers, far surpassing the other heaven domains.

Vast Sun Sacred Mountain, where the Yang Clan resided, was among the most supreme blessed lands of the Ninth Heaven Domain. Even without relying on external resources, cultivators training there could see their cultivation surge forward by leaps and bounds.

Coupled with the Yang Clan’s terrifying accumulation of wealth, it was easy to imagine that their descendants, from the very first step onto the path of cultivation, already stood far above the vast majority of beings in the world.

Soon, Lin Xun’s attention was drawn to a smaller mound among the treasure hills. Though much smaller than the others, it was filled entirely with resources meant exclusively for cultivation at the Eternal Stage!

“Five Elements Divine Creation Pill, Nine-Cycle Emptiness Refining Powder, Unfettered Chaos Jade Pill...”

Each pill was sealed within a jade box. There were more than ten types in total, all refined from extremely rare eternal divine herbs, each possessing astonishing medicinal effects. Lin Xun did not hesitate and collected them all at once.

Next came thousands of Eternal Divine Materials, specially used for tempering Eternal weapons. Each one brimmed with spirituality and exuded a terrifying aura that made the surrounding space tremble faintly. However, compared to the Eternal Divine Materials Lin Xun had refined in the Return Dominion, materials fully qualified to serve as weapon embryos, these still fell short. Even so, they were still priceless treasures that did not exist on the open market.

Swoosh! With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Xun put these Eternal Divine Materials away.

After that came rare treasures related to the Eternal Path, such as mysterious dao bones imprinted with the aura of eternity, jade slips and silk scrolls recording insights into Eternal cultivation, and a dazzling array of other wonders.

As he sorted through them, even Lin Xun could not help but marvel. The foundation of an Eternal Divine Clan was truly staggering.

In the end, aside from the treasures useful to his cultivation, he set the rest aside, intending to distribute them among his family and friends in the future. He estimated that the surplus treasures alone were worth more than the combined wealth of the Ten Immortal Giants!

Of course, his greatest harvest this time was without question the Vast Sun Law itself. It was a complete Divine Rank law! Its value was beyond measure. In addition, there were the nine rare Heaven Rank laws that made up the Heaven Subduing Array, as well as the Eternal weapons once wielded by Yang Xietian and Yang Budong.

He had also secured Yang Xietian’s primordial spirit and corpse. Once he fully grasped the profound mysteries of the Five Principle Laws of Return Dominion, he would be able to refine them into extraordinary treasures. His only regret was that Yang Budong had been cast into the Gate of Exile, completely erased by the Principle of Annihilation, leaving nothing behind...

“I wonder if the outside world already knows what happened here today.” After finishing sorting through the spoils, Lin Xun couldn’t help but have this thought.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, there had been no bystanders anywhere near Vast Sun Sacred Mountain so the outside world should not yet know that the Eternal Divine Yang Clan had already met with catastrophe.

As this thought crossed his mind, Lin Xun made a decision. His Green Wood Dao Body shot forth at once, leaving Vast Sun Sacred Mountain and heading into the surrounding territory to investigate. Meanwhile, his true body sat down and entered meditation.

Today’s battle had yielded him many extraordinary treasures for tempering his cultivation, such as the Five Elements Divine Creation Pill, the Nine-Cycle Emptiness Refining Powder, and the Unfettered Chaos Jade Pill. Each of these possessed miraculous effects for cultivators at the Law Transcendence Realm.

If he could raise his cultivation by another level before heading to the Eternal Divine Ji Clan, then even if he encountered another Will Dharma Form of an Immeasurable Eternal, the battle would not be as arduous as the one against Yang Xuntian.

Moreover, Lin Xun planned to take advantage of this time to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Five Principle Laws of Return Dominion. Once he mastered the power of these five fundamental principles, they would be immensely useful after he slew Eternal Realm opponents!

Four hours later, the moment the Green Wood Dao Body returned, Lin Xun sensed it instantly. During those four hours, the Green Wood Dao Body had traversed the vast territory once controlled by the Yang Clan and finally confirmed that no one knew that the Yang Clan had already fallen.

The world only knew that a heaven-shaking battle had erupted near Vast Sun Sacred Mountain earlier that day. However, because the mountain itself still stood unbroken and the Vast Sun Law continued to blanket the region, most cultivators subconsciously believed that the Yang Clan had prevailed, and that the one who dared provoke them had already been slain.

All of this instead put Lin Xun’s mind completely at ease. He knew all too well that if news of the Yang Clan’s annihilation leaked out, it would immediately plunge the world into turmoil. Other Eternal Divine Clans would be the first to respond, raising their defenses and taking precautions.

That would greatly interfere with his subsequent plans to deal with the other Eternal Divine Clans. Fortunately, no news had leaked out.

“Let’s begin.” Lin Xun took a deep breath and produced a jade box. Inside were three Five Elements Divine Creation Pills, each a peerless treasure originally meant to help Law Transcendence Eternal cultivators break through into the Creation Realm. Now, he was using them as nothing more than cultivation supplements...

The instant he swallowed a Five Elements Divine Creation Pill, an incomparably vast surge of Eternal power erupted within him, transforming into a blazing torrent that roared through his limbs and meridians. That power was so pure and refined that it bordered on the unbelievable. Even with Lin Xun’s formidable foundation, it was so vast and overwhelming that he felt as though his body was swelling to the point of bursting.

He took a deep breath as his true body and four dao bodies began circulating their qi at full force, refining the immense medicinal torrent surging within them.

An entire day passed. Only then did Lin Xun completely refine the power of the Five Elements Divine Creation Pill. His cultivation had advanced by a large margin, and faint signs of a breakthrough appeared. He was already on the verge of the intermediate Law Transcendence Realm!

“It doesn’t seem...as miraculous as people say...”

Instead of rejoicing, Lin Xun frowned slightly. He had expected that the power of this pill would be enough to push him straight into the intermediate Law Transcendence Realm. If Yang Xietian and Yang Budong were still alive and heard these words, they would surely cough blood on the spot from sheer fury.

The Five Elements Divine Creation Pill was a supreme treasure reserved for cultivators at the pinnacle of the Law Transcendence Realm to break through into the Creation Realm. Its value was immeasurable. Even within the Yang Clan, only three existed, and each was treated as a clan-protecting treasure.

Now, Lin Xun was dissatisfied with it... How could this not drive one mad?

However, Lin Xun also understood the reason for this result. His Eternal dao foundation was simply too profound. It was so deep that cultivators of the same realm couldn’t even begin to compare to him. Because of this, after refining one Five Elements Divine Creation Pill, his cultivation had only advanced by a large margin rather than leaping realms.

That, however, did not diminish the pill’s true worth. After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Xun swallowed a second Five Elements Divine Creation Pill and once again began to refine it.

This time, before the pill’s medicinal power had even been refined halfway, he clearly felt a transformation. His cultivation broke through to the intermediate Law Transcendence Realm! By the time the second pill was fully refined, his cultivation at the intermediate Law Transcendence Realm had been tempered to an astonishing degree.

Lin Xun calmly examined his state and made a rough estimate. His combat power was now around fifty percent greater than it had been at the initial Law Transcendence Realm! This was an extraordinarily frightening increase.

One had to remember that even at the initial Law Transcendence Stage, Lin Xun had already been able to fight nine Law Transcendence Eternal experts at once and slaughtered them outright. Even when facing Yang Xuntian’s Will Dharma Form, he had managed to grind it down and destroy it in the end.

Now that his strength had surged by another fifty percent, battles against opponents of the same level would only become far more easy.

“The Yang Clan possessed such treasures, yet never used them...what a waste...”

The thought had barely formed when realization dawned. It wasn’t wasteful. For beings like Yang Xietian and Yang Budong, Law Transcendence Eternal experts, the Five Elements Divine Creation Pill was a sacred treasure reserved solely for breaking through to the Creation Realm. How could they possibly consume it casually?

After some consideration, Lin Xun ultimately decided to refine the last remaining Five Elements Divine Creation Pill as well.

He had only reached the Eternal Stage less than half a year ago, and expecting to break through to the Creation Realm in such a short time was simply unrealistic. At present, it was enough to temper his cultivation of the Law Transcendence Realm to its absolute limit and fully comprehend its profound mysteries.

In truth, cultivation at the Eternal Stage was extraordinarily arduous. The resources required to advance at that level were far too rare and scarce. As a result, the vast majority of Eternal beings in the world, despite having lived for countless ages, remained stuck within the Law Transcendence Realm.

Ultimately, it all came down to one reason: cultivation resources suitable for advancement at the Eternal Stage were simply too scarce.

Of course, Lin Xun was different. Even before attaining eternity, he had already obtained an astonishing quantity of peerless cultivation resources from the Dao Burial Ground, such as Eternal Dao Stones, Eternal Bloodstones, Eternal Soul Crystals and Eternal Laws.

After stepping onto the Eternal Path, he went on to slay multiple Eternal Realm experts, including Jianan and Tan Wu, reaping vast spoils directly related to Eternal cultivation. Now, he had emptied the accumulated fortune of the Eternal Divine Yang Clan!

He alone monopolized the cultivation resources of an Eternal Divine Clan. There was no longer any need for him to worry about cultivation resources at all.

Thus, treasures like the Five Elements Divine Creation Pill, which other Law Transcendence Eternal experts regarded as priceless and would hesitate to use lightly, were nothing special in Lin Xun’s eyes.

Casting aside all distracting thoughts, Lin Xun returned to cultivation. The third Five Elements Divine Creation Pill was quickly refined. Without pause, he brought out other precious elixirs to continue refining, such as the Nine-Cycle Emptiness Refining Powder and the Unfettered Chaos Jade Pill.

Half a month passed.

By then, Lin Xun had refined three Five Elements Divine Creation Pills, two portions of Nine-Cycle Emptiness Refining Powder, two Unfettered Chaos Jade Pills, along with dozens of other divine medicines. His cultivation achieved yet another major breakthrough.

In one fell swoop, he stepped into the advanced Law Transcendence Realm!
