Innate Realm and Grandmaster Realm are completely different concepts.
What's more, a Great Grandmaster who has already developed mental abilities?
The most obvious manifestation is that those in the Innate Realm can take shortcuts.
For example, by consuming some kind of natural spiritual medicine.
Or by receiving the full power transmission from a Grandmaster.
With the foundation of Da Chan Temple, if they were willing to pay the price,
They could artificially create several Innate Realm martial Experts.
It's just that this action has no meaning.
For a martial arts sect like Da Chan Temple,
Having a few more Innate martial Experts cannot produce a fundamental impact.
What can truly decide Da Chan Temple's fate
Is a Grandmaster.
Is a Great Grandmaster.
The latter can even determine the general trend of the world.
However,
Whether it's stepping into the Grandmaster Realm or the Great Grandmaster Realm,
The use of external objects is negligible.
Breaking through from Innate to Grandmaster requires achieving a perfect level of power control.
Breaking through from Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster requires developing mental abilities, a process where one faces a hundred deaths for one life.
This is also why the Great Zen Temple Abbot and others were shocked when they realized that the mysterious Great Grandmaster who displayed mental abilities might be Lin Yuan from the Scripture Pavilion.
In today's world, a Great Grandmaster is rarely seen for hundreds of years.
The last known Great Grandmaster was the founding ancestor of the Great Li Dynasty, one hundred and eighty years ago.
Calculating the time, it is not impossible for another Great Grandmaster to emerge.
But it should be someone from among those long-renowned Grandmaster peaks.
As for Lin Yuan?
He's only an eight-year-old child.
How could he be a Great Grandmaster who is unrivaled in the current era?
This completely defies common sense and understanding.
Behind Da Chan Temple.
The Long Eyebrow Old Monk, who was in seclusion, was also startled by the mental fluctuations coming from the Scripture Pavilion room.
"Mental abilities?"
"Has my disciple, Hui Zhen, already stepped into the Great Grandmaster Realm?"
The Long Eyebrow Old Monk's eyes were dull, and he muttered to himself.
Even though he had long anticipated this day, his emotions fluctuated uncontrollably at this moment.
As a Grandmaster of Da Chan Temple's current generation,
The Long Eyebrow Old Monk had once taught Lin Yuan for two months and knew his terrifying talent in martial arts.
In the Long Eyebrow Old Monk's view,
It wouldn't be a problem for Lin Yuan to step into the Grandmaster Realm in the future,
And it was even highly possible for him to touch upon the Great Grandmaster domain.
But that was decades later.
And now, only five years have passed.
Lin Yuan is already a Great Grandmaster?
Compared to the Abbot and other Abbots, the Long Eyebrow Old Monk's shock was even greater.
The Abbot and other Abbots are only at the peak of the Innate Realm.
They only know the difficulty of breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
But they don't have a concrete concept.
However, the Long Eyebrow Old Monk is a Grandmaster.
He is only one realm away from the Great Grandmaster Realm.
He constantly feels the insurmountable chasm between the Great Grandmaster and the Grandmaster.
Even with the breakthrough secret method left by Patriarch Bodhidharma,
The Long Eyebrow Old Monk had no clue about breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Inside the Scripture Pavilion.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, his mental ability fluctuations contained.
"This mental power is similar to the 'Mind Master' evolution path of the Cosmic Human Civilization?"
Lin Yuan speculated in his mind.
In the Cosmic Human Civilization, Evolvers are not a secret.
Many of the evolution paths derived from this are known to most citizens.
The Mind Master evolution path requires stimulating the mind through special means.
Thus, one gains control over mind power and can unleash many incredible abilities.
"It's only similar, not the same."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The mind power controlled by an Evolver on the Mind Master evolution path leans towards illusions.
However, the Great Grandmaster's mental abilities are pure killing techniques, and the sense of oppression they create surpasses that of a Mind Master.
Furthermore, in the Cosmic Human Civilization, the Mind Master's physical body is generally considered a weakness, appearing somewhat frail.
But a Great Grandmaster's physical body has long surpassed the limits of ordinary people, and he can perfectly control every ounce of his body's strength.
Lin Yuan didn't know the specific advantages and disadvantages of the Mind Master evolution path.
But he speculated that, in terms of combat power, a Mind Master should be slightly weaker.
"Martial arts, if placed in the Cosmic Human Civilization, should be considered a brand new evolution path?"
"If I can deduce martial arts to the highest possible level in this world and hand it over to the Wisdom Goddess for appraisal after returning, I should be able to receive a huge reward."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
After learning about the compulsory conscription, Lin Yuan had once inquired with the Wisdom Goddess and understood her extreme Pay attention to of new evolution paths.
"They are all waiting outside?"
Lin Yuan seemed to sense something and glanced outside the Scripture Pavilion.
When breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, condensing mental abilities inevitably leads to their spread.
It's perfectly normal for this to lead to the Abbot and other Abbots noticing.
Outside the Scripture Pavilion.
The Long Eyebrow Old Monk, the Great Zen Temple Abbot, the Abbot, and others were waiting.
If other monks were present, they would notice that
The Abbot and other Abbots, who always presented themselves as eminent monks, now showed signs of apprehension on their faces.
It was as if students in a private school were about to meet their revered teacher.
Unease.
Anticipation.
"Come in, all of you."
Just then, a gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Yes."
Having received permission, the Abbot, other Abbots, and others slightly relaxed, following behind the Long Eyebrow Old Monk and entering the Scripture Pavilion.
"Greetings, Buddhist Son."
On the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, the Long Eyebrow Old Monk and the others finally saw Lin Yuan.
They then bowed and said.
There was no other way.
If Lin Yuan being in the Innate Realm at three years old could be explained as a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a thousand years,
Then stepping into the Great Grandmaster Realm at eight years old is something that cannot be explained by common sense, no matter what.
Only the legendary reincarnation of a true Buddha, a Buddhist Son in this world, could reconcile this with everyone's understanding.
Therefore, everyone, including the Long Eyebrow Old Monk, unhesitatingly addressed Lin Yuan as 'Buddhist Son'.
"Buddhist Son?"
Lin Yuan smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
Lin Yuan knew his own situation; he was no 'Buddhist Son'.
But as long as Lin Yuan himself didn't say it, no one would know.
Next, Lin Yuan chatted with the Abbot and other Abbots for a few more sentences.
He then naturally shared his insights, occasionally gained over the past few years, on how to break through from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Realm, offering them as guidance.
This directly enlightened the Abbot and other Abbots.
As a Great Grandmaster legacy sect, Da Chan Temple naturally has records on how to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
That is the precious legacy left by Patriarch Bodhidharma and successive Grandmasters.
However, even the notes left by Patriarch Bodhidharma contained many contents that left the Abbot and other Abbots half-understanding.
Being able to do something doesn't necessarily mean one can grasp all the principles and essence of that matter.
Everyone knows that to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, one needs to perfectly control every bit of one's strength.
But how to perfectly control it, and how to achieve that perfect control, was not elaborated upon, let alone how to actually do it.
However, Lin Yuan, with his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, flawlessly replicated the process of breaking through from Innate to Grandmaster, providing specific methods and means.
This almost brought tears to the eyes of the Abbot and other Abbots.
Through Lin Yuan's guidance, they at least saw the hope of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.
If they could cultivate for ten or twenty years, they might also be able to step into the Grandmaster domain.
Lin Yuan's few short sentences have almost cultivated several Grandmasters for Da Chan Temple's future decades from now.
Such ability—
If not a Buddhist Son, who else could achieve this?
It can be said that if anyone still dared to question Lin Yuan's 'Buddhist Son' identity now,
The Great Zen Temple Abbot and several Abbots would be the first to object.
