A blinding white light faded away, and Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, finding himself in a cave rich with Lingqi. The surrounding rock walls shimmered with a faint blue glow, resembling stars scattered across the night sky. He looked around and saw that his teammates, Su Jiu'er and Zhou Haoran, had also awakened and were resting against the rock walls.
"Is everyone alright?" Lin Yuan rubbed his temples; the recent illusion trial had nearly drained his mental energy.
Su Jiu'er shook her head, her long hair swaying gently with the motion. "I'm fine, just a bit tired. That illusion trial was much harder than I expected."
Zhou Haoran chuckled wryly as he patted his shoulder. "I almost got swallowed by my own Inner Demon. Thanks to you for pulling me back just in time."
Lin Yuan stood up and stretched his stiff limbs. The illusion trial had indeed been challenging; each person was forced to confront their deepest fears. He had been made to relive the poisoning incident that had shattered his martial arts dreams, while Su Jiu'er faced her confusion and fear regarding her own identity.
"What about Han Lingyun?" Lin Yuan suddenly remembered the woman who had fled into the Lingqi Vortex.
"I don't know," Su Jiu'er frowned. "After we completed the trial, we were transported here and didn't see her at all."
Lin Yuan nodded and walked to the center of the cave. The Spiritual Energy Concentration here was dozens of times greater than that of the outside world, even more intense than in the trial location. He could feel the Lingqi flowing in a peculiar manner, forming an invisible vortex.
"This place is extraordinary," Lin Yuan murmured. "The way Lingqi flows is unique; it seems to be guiding something."
At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. His vision began to blur, and a strange buzzing sound filled his ears. Instinctively, he crossed his legs and entered a meditative state, trying to stabilize his mind.
However, the dizziness did not subside; instead, it intensified. Lin Yuan felt as if his consciousness was being pulled away from his body. Just as he was about to lose awareness, an unprecedented Spiritual Energy Fluctuation erupted from within him.
"Lin Yuan!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed as she rushed forward but was stopped by Zhou Haoran.
"Don't go near him!" Zhou Haoran said anxiously. "He’s experiencing some kind of Lingqi resonance; interrupting him could be dangerous."
Lin Yuan felt his consciousness drifting in an endless void. In this emptiness, he saw countless streams of Lingqi flowing like a magnificent river of stars, intertwining to form a mysterious pattern.
Suddenly, a stream of Lingqi surged towards him, directly penetrating his consciousness. In an instant, a flood of information poured into his mind. It was an ancient and mysterious Cultivation Method—Lingxi Youlong.
This Cultivation Method was unlike any he had practiced before. It did not simply utilize Lingqi; instead, it transformed Lingqi into a purer form of energy that flowed through his body like a swimming dragon, capable of unleashing astonishing power in an instant.
Lin Yuan's body began to glow, with streaks of azure light emanating from within him, forming a vivid Azure Dragon Illusion in the air. The dragon coiled within the cave, emitting a deafening roar that shook the entire cavern.
"Is this... the roar of a dragon?" Li Qiang exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Zhang Li gasped and covered her mouth, "I've never seen such a sight. What is he experiencing?"
Su Jiu'er fixed her gaze on Lin Yuan, her eyes shimmering with complex emotions. "He is comprehending some kind of Ancient Martial Arts Techniques, and he has already grasped it to some extent."
Zhou Haoran nodded thoughtfully. "It seems this secret realm is not only a trial ground but also a place of inheritance."
Lin Yuan's consciousness gradually returned to his body. When he opened his eyes again, they sparkled with an unprecedented brilliance. He could feel that the way his Lingqi operated had undergone a tremendous transformation, becoming more fluid and powerful.
"Are you alright?" Su Jiu'er asked with concern.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, feeling the surging Lingqi within him. "I'm fine; I just comprehended a new Cultivation Method—Lingxi Youlong."
"Lingxi Youlong?" Zhou Haoran repeated in surprise. "I've seen this name in ancient texts; it's said to be an unparalleled Cultivation Method created by a monk of the dragon clan during ancient times, which later became lost."
Lin Yuan stood up and extended his right hand. A stream of azure Lingqi surged from his palm, swirling in the air until it gradually formed into a small azure dragon. The dragon was lifelike, with even the patterns of its scales visible.
"That's incredible!" Li Qiang couldn't help but exclaim.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly. "This Cultivation Method not only enhances attack power but also improves the efficiency of Lingqi utilization. Most importantly, it seems to resonate with my Time Manipulator, elevating my abilities to a new level."
He closed his eyes, feeling the Lingqi flowing within him. The training method of Lingxi Youlong was not complicated; the key lay in the precise control and transformation of Lingqi.
"I can teach you this Cultivation Method," Lin Yuan said, "although everyone has different Lingqi attributes, the fundamental principles are universal."
Su Jiu'er’s eyes lit up. "Really? Can you?"
Lin Yuan nodded. "Of course, we are a team. Only by growing stronger together can we face the challenges ahead."
For the next few hours, Lin Yuan meticulously taught his teammates the training methods of Lingxi Youlong. Each person adjusted according to their own Lingqi attributes and gradually grasped the essence of this Cultivation Method.
Zhou Haoran was the first to succeed. A stream of white Lingqi surged from his palm, forming a small white dragon. Although it was much smaller than Lin Yuan's Azure Dragon, it was already a significant improvement.
"I feel like my Lingqi is much more active now," Zhou Haoran said excitedly, "and my acupuncture skills seem to have improved as well."
Li Qiang and Zhang Li also mastered the basics of this Cultivation Method in succession. Although they couldn't yet form a complete dragon shape, the quality of their Lingqi had noticeably improved.
Su Jiu'er was the last one to succeed. Her Lingqi attribute was quite unique and different from others. When she finally grasped the essence of Lingxi Youlong, what emerged from her palm was not a dragon shape but a small nine-tailed fox.
"This is..." Lin Yuan looked at the Lingqi-formed nine-tailed fox in surprise.
Su Jiu'er was also taken aback. "I don't know why it turned out this way. It should have been a dragon shape."
Zhou Haoran pondered for a moment. "It might be related to your bloodline. Didn't you say you have Millennium Fox Clan blood?"
Su Jiu'er nodded, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. "It seems this Cultivation Method adjusts automatically according to the bloodline characteristics of the practitioner."
At that moment, Su Jiu'er suddenly furrowed her brow, looking warily towards the cave entrance. "Someone is coming."
Lin Yuan immediately became alert, activating his Lingxi Youlong to prepare for any potential danger. The others also quickly entered a combat-ready state.
"Wait," Su Jiu'er whispered, "it's not that someone is coming; it's that someone is spying on us from a distance."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, using his Guan Qi Abilities to sense the surrounding Spiritual Energy Fluctuation. Indeed, several unfamiliar Spiritual Energy Fluctuations were detected hundreds of meters outside the cave. These fluctuations felt different from the Lingqi they were accustomed to, seemingly carrying a primitive wildness.
"They're natives from a parallel world," Lin Yuan opened his eyes and said in a deep voice. "It seems our actions have already attracted their attention."
Su Jiu'er nodded. "I can sense their hostility. They might see us as invaders."
Zhou Haoran asked nervously, "What should we do?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment. "First, let's leave this cave and find a safer place. We just mastered a new Cultivation Method and need time to consolidate it."
Just as they were preparing to leave, Lin Yuan suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis. His Time Manipulator activated automatically, and the surrounding time seemed to slow down.
In that brief moment of Time Stopped, Lin Yuan saw an arrow flying towards Su Jiu'er. The arrow was pitch black, with a strange red light flickering at its tip, clearly poisoned.
"Watch out!" Lin Yuan shouted as he activated his Lingxi Youlong. A blue dragon roared from his palm and accurately struck the arrow.
The arrow exploded in mid-air, releasing a cloud of black smoke. Lin Yuan immediately used the Material Decomposition Ability of his Time Manipulator to break down the smoke into harmless Lingqi.
"It's a trap!" Lin Yuan said sharply. "Run!"
The group quickly retreated deeper into the cave. Just as they were about to enter a narrow passage, Lin Yuan suddenly stopped and turned to face the cave entrance.
"You all go ahead; I'll hold them off," Lin Yuan said in a low voice.
Su Jiu'er shook her head. "No, it's too dangerous!"
Lin Yuan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I have Lingxi Youlong and the Time Manipulator; I'll be fine. Besides..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a violent explosion suddenly erupted at the cave entrance. A large amount of rock fell from the ceiling, sealing off the exit.
"Damn it!" Lin Yuan cursed. "They want to trap us here!"
At that moment, Lin Yuan felt the Lingxi Youlong Technique within him surge with unprecedented energy, as if stimulated by something. A massive Azure Dragon Illusion formed from his body, shattering all the falling rocks.
"What is this..." Lin Yuan stared at his hands in astonishment.
Su Jiu'er was equally shocked by the scene. "The second realm of Lingxi Youlong—Dragon Roar Nine Heavens!"
Before Lin Yuan could respond, urgent footsteps and battle cries suddenly rang out from outside the cave. Dozens of Indigenous Warriors clad in animal skins and wielding primitive weapons appeared at the entrance, their eyes glinting with fierce intent.
"Prepare for battle!" Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, activating Lingxi Youlong as he braced himself for the impending fight.
