Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Above White Jade Island.

Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression serene.

Led by Baigu Heaven Lord, dozens of Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords all bowed deeply with utmost respect.

"Rise."

Lin Yuan was in a good mood.

He had just taken a stroll inside White Jade Island and found the environment quite pleasing, very suitable to be the starting point for spreading the Martial Tao.

Using White Jade Island as the origin of Martial Tao was undoubtedly the best choice for the initial stage.

"Yes."

The group of Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords, like Baigu Heaven Lord, simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Compared to Lin Yuan's good spirits, the shock in the hearts of these Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords could only be described as earth-shattering.

Especially for Baigu Heaven Lord at the forefront, his heart was churning with tempestuous waves.

The moment Lin Yuan had uttered the four words "neither is also is," Baigu Heaven Lord was already prepared to take action.

What a joke! White Jade Island was a grand opportunity that appeared only once in thousands of years in the East Sea,

why should he just give up such a precious island on Lin Yuan's mere claim to be the White Jade Island Lord?

But before Baigu Heaven Lord could act, he felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him, vast as the ocean.

In that moment, Baigu Heaven Lord felt as if he had returned to his Foundation Establishment days, witnessing two Nascent Soul Period True Monarchs battle ferociously.

That all-encompassing oppression made Baigu Heaven Lord's spirit tremble, and without any hesitation, he acknowledged Lin Yuan as the rightful lord of White Jade Island.

Because Baigu Heaven Lord realized that if he didn't do so, his fate would be very, very grim.

He might even end up dead, his cultivation path obliterated.

Compared to his own life, what was White Jade Island?

Baigu Heaven Lord glanced at the other Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords who were pale, knowing they must have had a similar experience.

"This mysterious powerhouse is not just at the peak of Mahayana, he must, at the very least, have touched the threshold of the Refine Void stage, possibly even a Half-step Refinement Void Ancient Saint..."

Baigu Heaven Lord felt helpless inside.

To progress from the Mahayana Phase to the Refining Void Period, one must overcome numerous major stages.

Mahayana Perfection just signifies reaching the peak, the ultimate limit of the Mahayana Phase.

But the distance to the Void Refinement Realm was still unfathomably far.

This was also why there were so few Refinement Void Ancient Saints in this world.

Specifically,

after reaching Mahayana Perfection, there are still three or four stages to go through.

They are touching the threshold of Refine Void, one foot entering Refine Void, both feet entering Refine Void, and more than half the body entering the Refine Void, and so on.

In fact, in the Main World, progressing from Fifth Rank to Sixth Rank is similarly complex, requiring a transformation and integration of the soul.

For every additional percent of transformation, one's strength increases by that much more,

and when Lin Yuan's soul transformation reached a hundred percent, his combat power had reached the threshold of Sixth Rank.

Of course,

this sort of explanation holds little meaning for the vast majority of cultivators.

In the eyes of Nascent Soul Period True Monarchs, the difference between Mahayana Perfection and almost fully entering Refine Void is negligible.

But at this moment,

Baigu Heaven Lord, who had deeply felt Lin Yuan's oppressive aura, believed that Lin Yuan possessed at least the strength of a Half-step Refinement Void Ancient Saint.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to overwhelm him with just his presence, to give him this kind of irresistible feeling.

"You should go back to where you came from."

Lin Yuan glanced at the dozens of Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords who were trembling with trepidation, unsure whether to stay or leave, and spoke indifferently.

"Then White Jade Island Lord, we will take our leave first."

The several dozen Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords gratefully turned into beams of Escape Light, fleeing the area as if they had just been granted a pardon, like mice scurrying away from a cat.

Lin Yuan watched as the numerous Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords left.

He did not make a move.

With his power, he certainly could have detained all the Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords.

But that would accomplish little.

The East Sea was vast, and though the cultivation environment wasn't nearly as good as that of the Central Divine Continent, the area wasn't much smaller.

If Lin Yuan were to kill all the Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords, the whole Eastern Sea Islands would fall into even greater chaos.

It would also draw the attention of the Daode Immortal Sect, and the Blood Demon Sea, Ghost Palace of Netherworld might take the opportunity to extend their reach into the East Sea.

For Lin Yuan, the existence of these Mahayana Phase Heaven Lords from the East Sea had no impact on him whether they were alive or dead,

but their death would create greater chaos, which was why he had not acted with a killing intent.

....

Above the sea's surface.

Countless cultivators of the East Sea watched incredulously as the several dozen Heaven Lords, previously as mighty as the heavens, discussed how to divide White Jade Island.

Then, a figure emerged from within the island, and before saying much, claimed to be the lord of White Jade Island.

What was even more incredible was that Baigu Heaven Lord and the other Heaven Lords seemed to have no objections and promptly bowed down.

It was like a fantastical tale.

And now, the group of Mahayana Phase cultivators led by Baigu Heaven Lord hastily departed from White Jade Island without any hesitation, as if White Jade Island suddenly wasn't a prize to vie for, but a place of nightmares.

"What on earth happened?"

"Why did all the Heaven Lords leave?"

"Who is the person who walked out of White Jade Island? Is he truly the White Jade Island Lord just because he says so?"

...

The numerous cultivators of the East Sea whispered among themselves, the scene was too inconceivable; the Heaven Lords who were like immovable celestial beings, were now so 'benevolent'?

"I remember now, this person must be the mysterious powerhouse who burnt the Black Gauze Archipelago years ago. I have been to the Black Gauze Archipelago before, and the Taiyang True Fire aura, so utterly yang, is unforgettable to this day."

"So it's that powerhouse."

"Doesn't make sense though, wasn't it said that he was only at Mahayana Perfection? How could he make Baigu Heaven Lord and a host of other Heaven Lords retreat?"

"Isn't that simple, in the Eastern Sea Islands, power is respected."

"While Baigu Heaven Lord, also at Mahayana Perfection, only dared to ask for half of the core area of White Jade Island."

"But this powerhouse directly took the entire White Jade Island for himself; it can only mean his strength far exceeds Mahayana Perfection."
