The God of Heavens

Chapter 251 Divine Stone Embryo, Heavenly Serpent Star Eyes

Lin Yu and the Lord of Giant Whale Island arrived at the port.

Inside the harbor, countless large ships had already anchored and moored, their flags fluttering in the wind, embroidered with Yunmeng script.

It was Yunmeng's fleet.

"Hmm? Yunmeng has brought quite a few this time, a whole small fleet?"

Lin Yu's gaze swept across the sea, where he saw more than fifty warships lined up one after another, and he couldn't help but ponder to himself.

The large ships, with a crew of eight hundred, and more than fifty other giant ships, even after accounting for the supplies, provisions, fresh water, equipment, medicine, and other items they carried, could easily number at least ten thousand people!

The Lord of Giant Whale Island immediately ordered his soldiers to be on high alert, and then went with the other two island lords to greet them, carefully inquiring about their identities.

"Ouyang Shan, Commander of the Prison Battalion of Yunmeng Kingdom." The visitor spoke arrogantly.

He was clad in armor, carried a brocade pouch, and was surrounded by a faint layer of blood mist, clearly some kind of protective magic item.

The Prison Battalion within the Yunmeng Army, like the Great Qian Divine Sword Battalion, is an army composed of Taoist masters!

The person speaking at this moment was Ouyang Shan, a commander of the Prison Camp. He came from a prominent family in Yunmeng and was able to enter the Xuantian Hall to study Taoist arts.

"May I ask what brings Lord Yunmeng here? We, the Great Whale Island, have never robbed Yunmeng's merchants," the island lord asked cautiously, his voice trembling.

Lin Yu concealed his aura and stood aside with his hands at his sides as if he were an ordinary follower, his gaze subtly observing Ouyang Shan.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!" Ouyang Shan said arrogantly, raising his chin, and continued, "We are here on the orders of Grand Marshal Black Wolf, and we have three things to do."

First, Giant Whale Island is now subordinate to Yunmeng Kingdom, and we can assist you in establishing your nation.
Second, you should continue with your old business and do everything you can to crack down on the Daqian maritime route.

Third, they could help us find natives to serve as slaves—these sea natives were physically strong and, even without martial arts skills, could hunt wild animals with their bare hands. Such natives would be excellent laborers for hard labor, farming, mining, and so on.

Ouyang Shan succinctly stated his conditions, then impatiently urged, "The Grand Marshal has made his meaning clear. Tell me your answer quickly!"

The commander of this Yunmeng Kingdom is quite capable, having reached the pinnacle of Daoist cultivation. With his army under his command, even ordinary martial saints cannot withstand his might. However, his arrival at this time is truly a matter of bad luck.

Lin Yu looked around and, seeing that there were indeed only these people and no further gains, burst into laughter: "How ridiculous! They actually dared to steal people from me!"

"Who are you? How dare you spout such nonsense!" The commander of Yunmeng Kingdom glared angrily at the young man who had spoken. "Is this the will of your Giant Whale Island? You're just a pirate captain from a remote corner of the world, yet you dare to oppose Yunmeng Kingdom? Who gave you the audacity? Doesn't the entire Giant Whale Island fear annihilation?"

"Another one who's not thinking straight. Oh well, let's take him down first."

Lin Yu shook his head and sighed softly, then suddenly sprang up. He threw a punch, the force of which was like the trampling of a divine elephant, carrying the supreme power to annihilate all demons as it crashed down.

The space within a radius of 100 meters suddenly distorted, giving people a terrifying illusion of the world turning upside down and the earth sinking!
Before Ouyang Shan could react, he was completely suppressed by this domineering fist intent, and his vision went black as he lost consciousness.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Form ranks immediately!" The Yunmeng fleet was thrown into chaos, and alarm whistles echoed across the sea.

Unfortunately it was too late.

After capturing Ouyang Shan, Lin Yu transformed into a streak of azure wind, whistling and weaving through the fleet.

With a flick of his fingers, countless strands of innate qi crisscrossed. These Yunmeng soldiers had never seen such a technique before. The enemy had not only vanished from flight, but was also unafraid of the army's qi and blood, while their warships were currently anchored in the port, caught in a dilemma.

In the blink of an eye, all the leaders of this once mighty Yunmeng fleet were subdued and rendered immobile like puppets on strings.

With the fleet in hand, Lin Yu immediately returned to Huanghe County. To the astonishment of his subordinates, he informed them of the matter and then ordered Zhao Hu and others to collect the spoils of war.

It's pitiful for these Yunmeng people. They've gotten used to capturing natives, but now the tables have turned and the tables have reversed. I wonder if they'll be able to adapt to life as slaves in the future.

While his men were toiling across the sea, Lin Yu headed northwest instead.

……

Tianzhu Mountain.

Located outside of Tianzhou, it is a sacred mountain at the junction of the Western Regions and the North, with a vast expanse and reaching the sky.

The mountains contain countless realms, teeming with birds and beasts, monsters and demons, unicorns, dragons and phoenixes, and countless rare treasures.

Throughout history, countless practitioners have cultivated on it. Even the Taoist arts and Tianzhu meditation methods of Jingyuan Temple, one of the six great holy sites in the world, were created based on the shape of Tianzhu Mountain.

He went to this place to find the Heavenly Pillar Stone.

This Heavenly Pillar Stone, as smooth as unpolished jade, contains a divine essence. It has endured countless years of wind and rain in the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, waiting only for the first clap of spring thunder to take shape and emerge from the stone.

Upon his first appearance in the world, he was already at the Human Immortal realm. In the current world, he was almost invincible, sweeping across the land, and his realm was even higher than Lin Yu's.

Lin Yu descended from the clouds at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain and began hiking up the mountain.

The sacred stone absorbs the essence of the sun and moon and is enveloped by great fortune, which is why it has remained intact for countless years. If one were to fly through the air, it would be easy to be blinded by this fortune and miss the treasure.

The winter was bitterly cold, the sky a vast, boundless expanse of white, the surrounding fields a pristine white. Snow blanketed the mountains, the wind swirled the clouds, leaving only pure white in the world. Lin Yu trudged through the snow, slowly making his way to the summit of Tianzhu Mountain. The howling wind whipped up swirling snowflakes, which silently melted away just three zhang around him.

He walked steadily, his boots crunching softly over the snow. His footprints were of uniform depth and perfectly spaced.

From a high altitude, the footprints appear as straight as if they were drawn with ink lines.

The cold wind grew even more biting, but Lin Yu seemed oblivious, instead slowing his pace to carefully feel the pulse of this icy world.

The Divine Stone Embryo possesses extraordinary potential. In ancient times, there was a Holy Emperor named "Hong," a powerful figure who shattered the vacuum level, and he was also a spiritual embryo nurtured by the Divine Stone.

These creatures, born of nature, are uniquely endowed with extraordinary physical constitutions, far surpassing those of humans.

When talking about the birth of a celestial child from a naturally formed divine stone, one cannot help but mention Sun Wukong from "Journey to the West".

However, Monkey King has an even greater background than the Heavenly Pillar Stone. After all, it is a celestial stone that created the world and was born in an extraordinary location. It is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. After learning for several years, he became an immortal being.

They used Hong Yi's template.

In contrast, the stone embryo nurtured by the Heavenly Pillar Stone is closer to the Holy Spirit in "Covering the Sky".

Both were conceived by the heavens and took a long time to be born. Although they started from different points, they both contain immeasurable potential.

Tianzhu Mountain covers a vast area; as far as the eye can see, there are only boundless, verdant mountains stretching endlessly.

Finding the sacred stone in such a mountain is almost like finding a needle in a haystack!
But given Lin Yu's current level of skill, he might not be able to find it.

Since the divine stone contains a spiritual embryo, it must absorb the essence of the sun and moon and the primordial energy of heaven and earth to nourish itself. He only needs to observe the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to find the whereabouts of the divine stone.

Lin Yu connected with the two apertures of the earth, immersing his mind in the earth, sensing its pulse, and his divine sense flowed with the earth's veins, carefully analyzing the subtle clues within.

After a day and a night of searching and sensing, he finally found his destination on the summit of a mountain.

In front of him was a huge rock.

This sacred stone is taller than a person, and it looks like a piece of uncut jade. It is shaped like an egg and has nine holes on it.

A delicate fragrance, like clouds of rosy mist, seemed to emanate from the nostrils of a person, making the entire sacred stone appear as if it were a living entity.

These nine orifices are equivalent to the nine orifices of the human body.

Upon closer inspection, one can vaguely see a hazy figure within the stone, neither human nor ape, curled up with its knees drawn up.

Lin Yu's divine sense, like a thread, seeped into the divine stone. In an instant, a surge of powerful energy and blood rushed in, the spiritual embryo's heart beat strongly, and its vitality was boundless.

"What a wonderful, naturally born and nurtured spiritual embryo!" Lin Yu exclaimed inwardly.

The creature within the stone has yet to be born, but its vitality is already comparable to that of an ordinary Martial Saint. If it continues to develop, it will surely reach the realm of a Human Immortal in due time.

However, for the Divine Stone Embryo to reach the level of a Yang God, it is unknown how many fortuitous encounters, the creation of heaven and earth, and the gathering of spiritual energy are required, and how many years it will take to achieve this.

However, Lin Yu naturally did not expect the divine stone to reach that level in a short period of time.

At this moment, the divine stone embryo was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Lin Yu immediately used his essence and blood to temper it and deeply imprinted his spirit into it.

In this way, when the first spring thunder rumbles and the spiritual embryo breaks through the stone, it will be born with the power of a human immortal and become his powerful incarnation.

"It's time to return to Yujing. When the spring thunder arrives, it will be the perfect opportunity to break through to the realms of Ghost Immortal and Human Immortal."

Lin Yu made some further arrangements at the divine stone to conceal his aura; the lack of a spatial artifact was indeed inconvenient.

As night fell, he leaped into the clouds. The fierce winds of the heavens were like knives, their chill piercing to the bone, enough to freeze even the finest iron.

Lin Yu's true energy circulated around him, drawing a faint trail in the dark night sky.

"Young master, where are you headed, traveling so hastily in the dead of night?"

Just as Lin Yu was soaring through the air, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang in his ears, like ice water dripping into a cold pool.

Lin Yu abruptly stopped in mid-air, staring at the dark space in the distance, his eyes blazing with golden light: "Who is this master? Show yourself!"

"Huh? It can actually sense my presence?"

Ahead, the void rippled like water, and a woman in black stepped out gracefully.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her clothes flowed like water, and she seemed to blend into the night. Most peculiar were her eyes; her pupils seemed to contain the Milky Way, mysterious and unfathomable.

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Serpent King's Star Eye?"

A woman who can move so freely in the darkness and possess such cultivation—there is only one person in the entire world—the Master of Xuantian Pavilion, the Lord of Darkness, the Heavenly Serpent King Xingmou!
