However, Yun Yichen did not allow himself to become complacent. He understood that this was merely a small achievement on his path of cultivation, and that many more challenges awaited him in the future. Standing in the center of the training ground, he gazed up at the distant sky, filled with anticipation for what lay ahead.
After winning the championship at the Sect Tournament, Yun Yichen did not indulge in the joy of victory; instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to a deeper exploration of Lingwen. He frequently visited the library of Lingyuan Sect, poring over various ancient texts and leaving no stone unturned in his quest for information about Lingwen. In one weathered tome, he discovered a passage regarding the origins of Lingwen.
The ancient text mentioned that Lingwen was not a natural phenomenon but rather a mysterious power created by a group of powerful Cultivators in ancient times who sought to combat evil forces. They used their own blood and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as conduits to forge these intricate patterns. Each Lingwen was imbued with a special mission, closely tied to the safety of the Lingyuan Realm. Every single Lingwen contained unique laws of power; mastering different Lingwen allowed one to manipulate corresponding rules of nature.
The more Yun Yichen read, the more excited he became, realizing that his previous understanding of Lingwen had been far too superficial. To validate the claims made in the ancient text, he began experimenting with new methods of cultivating Lingwen. He traveled to a place rich in Spiritual Energy within Lingyuan Sect and followed the guidance from the tome, channeling his spiritual power to connect with the hidden forces of Lingwen in nature. As he exerted himself, the surrounding Spiritual Energy surged wildly, gradually coalescing into ethereal Lingwen patterns. These new Lingwen were far more complex and mysterious than those he had previously practiced, containing even greater power.
Immersed in his exploration of Lingwen, Yun Yichen continually sought to establish a connection with these new patterns. He discovered that when his spiritual energy resonated with a Lingwen, he could sense an ancient and powerful will behind it. This will seemed to whisper secrets about Lingwen and recount tales of the grand battles from ancient times. Through deep communication with Lingwen, Yun Yichen also uncovered subtle connections between Lingwen and the Lingyuan Catastrophe. He sensed that Lingwen might hold the key to unraveling the mystery of the catastrophe and combating evil forces.
Confirming the link between Lingwen and the Lingyuan Catastrophe, Yun Yichen resolved to venture to the Source of Calamity for further investigation. He knew this journey would be fraught with danger, but he did not hesitate; for the sake of uncovering the truth behind the Lingyuan Catastrophe and saving the Lingyuan Realm, he was determined to press on. Before departing, he bid farewell to Lin Yu and Su Yao, promising them that he would return safely.
Following the clues from the ancient text, Yun Yichen embarked on his arduous journey to the Source of Calamity. Along the way, he traversed desolate deserts, dense forests, and treacherous mountains while facing fierce beasts and harsh natural conditions. Yet with his formidable Lingwen powers and unwavering resolve, he managed to navigate through each perilous encounter.
At last, Yun Yichen arrived at the legendary Source of Calamity. A thick aura of darkness enveloped this area; dark clouds loomed overhead while lightning occasionally illuminated this eerie landscape. The ground was riddled with massive fissures from which black smoke billowed forth, emitting a noxious odor.
Cautiously stepping into the Source of Calamity, Yun Yichen utilized his Lingyuan Eye to vigilantly observe his surroundings. He quickly realized that spiritual energy here was chaotic and infused with malevolent power. During his exploration, he encountered a group of Evil Remnants—strange beings surrounded by black flames who immediately lunged at him upon spotting him.
Unfazed, Yun Yichen unleashed various Lingwen techniques as he engaged in fierce combat with the Evil Remnants. Summoning both Flame Lingwen and Thunderbolt Spirit Pattern, their combined might formed a powerful wave of attack that repelled those charging forward. However, more Evil Remnants continued to pour in, and Yun Yichen gradually began to feel overwhelmed.
At that moment, he noticed that these Evil Remnants seemed to be controlled by some unseen force; their movements followed subtle patterns. Focusing intently and using his Lingyuan Eye for careful observation, he finally identified their weaknesses. Employing a newly comprehended binding technique from Lingwen, he restricted their movements before systematically defeating them one by one. After an arduous battle, Yun Yichen successfully drove back this horde of Evil Remnants.
With them defeated, Yun Yichen pressed deeper into the Source of Calamity. He discovered an ancient altar covered in peculiar runes that emitted an eerie glow. Approaching it cautiously, he studied these runes closely and found them reminiscent of those he had seen in ancient texts regarding Lingwen but infused with an unmistakable aura of evil.
Just as Yun Yichen became engrossed in examining the altar, he suddenly sensed a powerful force approaching from behind him. Whirling around swiftly, he found himself face-to-face with a towering demon whose grotesque features radiated dark power far exceeding that of any Evil Remnant he'd encountered before. Its eyes glowed crimson with a murderous intent.
Realizing he faced an unprecedented foe, Yun Yichen dared not let down his guard; immediately activating his strongest defensive Lingwen techniques was imperative. The demon let out a furious roar as it lunged at him with massive claws slicing through air with a sharp whistle that seemed to tear apart space itself.
Yun Yichen nimbly dodged its attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Although its strikes were powerful, they were relatively slow; thus he decided to exploit his speed advantage by continuously wearing down its strength. Utilizing a speed-enhancing technique from Lingwen allowed him to move swiftly around the demon while launching attacks intermittently.
Enraged by Yun Yichen's relentless assaults, the demon unleashed dark powers wildly that shrouded their surroundings in darkness. In this obscurity, Yun Yichen's vision became severely limited; relying solely on his Lingyuan Eye and perception of surrounding spiritual fluctuations became crucial for evading its strikes.
Throughout this grueling battle, Yun Yichen continually pushed beyond his limits; his mastery over Lingwen grew further under such life-and-death pressures. He executed an innovative fusion technique combining Flame Lingwen, Thunderbolt Spirit Pattern, and defensive Lingwen into a formidable shield while simultaneously releasing powerful offensive energies outward.
With this technique at his disposal, Yun Yichen successfully blocked several attacks from the demon while inflicting significant damage upon it as well. The demon howled in agony; it had not anticipated such rapid growth in strength from Yun Yichen within such a short span of time. Ultimately seizing an opportunity presented amidst chaos allowed Yun Yichen to deliver a decisive blow that obliterated the demon entirely.
Exhausted yet enriched by this battle experience, Yun Yichen made significant strides in his exploration within Source of Calamity—bringing him closer than ever to uncovering truths behind Lingyuan Catastrophe. However unknown dangers lurked deeper within this Source of Calamity…
