Chapter 721 The Secrets of the Ancient Universe! Massive Resources (6K)

Within the Heart Dream Universe, at the headquarters of the Chaos Divine Court, inside the Awakening Star Palace.

"Om~"

The vast cosmic lotus was in motion, and countless rare and precious materials of life were being analyzed, with countless spiritual insights constantly surging into Li Yuan's mind.

In the center of the enormous lotus flower, six Li Yuans sat cross-legged in meditation.

"The life analysis of the cosmic lotus, combined with the life operation of the inner universe, is indeed my greatest advantage in comprehending the mysteries of the 'Wandering Path of Myriad Spirits'," Li Yuan thought to himself.

These are the years since he became the God King.

Li Yuan devoted most of his energy to comprehending the Dao of the World and the Dao of Great Destruction... but the Cosmic Lotus continued to operate.

Therefore, Li Yuan's deduction of the Myriad Spirits Path was by no means slow.

In a sense, it is even faster than the Great Destruction Dao, only it cannot catch up with the World Dao... Li Yuan could feel that his accumulation in the Myriad Spirits Dao was constantly deepening, and he was getting closer and closer to taking the second step.

Such a cultivation speed, if it were to spread, would absolutely leave countless quasi-saints speechless.

But Li Yuan wasn't surprised at all.

After all, once they entered the God King Realm, the speed of their thinking increased dramatically, and their deduction speed naturally increased as well. They also had many treasures to assist them, such as the Myriad Saints Stone Wall and the Cosmic Lotus, as well as a large number of rare treasures to help them comprehend the Myriad Spirits Dao.

It's normal to make rapid progress in the Path of All Spirits.

"but."

“The life materials that my senior brother gave me, as well as the many materials I obtained in Tianluo Star City, including the Emperor Blood, are now all used up,” Li Yuan thought to himself.

Even the 11 portions of King Soul Source Liquid that were obtained through the exchange were all consumed.

Only two thousand years.

This consumed auxiliary treasures worth millions of cubic Eternal Crystals, and this was only because Li Yuan used them quite frugally... Such a luxurious cultivation method is something even Emperor-level cultivators would be reluctant to do.

But Li Yuan didn't care at all.

You have to give up something to gain something.

It is precisely because of this willingness to let go that the efficiency of deducing the eternal way is so high.

"According to the Chaos God Emperor, the Immortal Emperor's envoy will arrive in Tianluo Star City soon." Li Yuan thought to himself, "My true self should set off for the Immortal World."

So many true forms went to the Immortal Realm at the same time for two purposes.

First, we must get most of the true bodies to the Divine Wheel Sea as soon as possible to cultivate the introductory chapter of the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" body-refining method. Only in this way can each true body maintain its strongest combat power and play a significant role at crucial moments.

Secondly, Li Yuan is already extremely famous and attracts a lot of attention. Whether he continues to venture out and adventure or goes to retrieve the treasure left behind in the small tomb, he will be able to achieve great success.

If one wants to escape the clandestine probing of fate and destiny by those at the Emperor Realm level, then the best way is to use the Ancient Universe Realm to conceal one's aura.

Without the Ancient Universe Realm, even with his greatly increased strength, Li Yuan wouldn't have been confident in escaping the Dominator's close-range causal perception.

“The Ancient Universe Realm involves the secrets of Senior Heart Dream God Emperor, and is one of my most important treasures.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Since I’m going to use the Ancient Universe Realm, I should also entrust the Abyss of Slaughter to my true body that’s out adventuring, so that I can have the greatest chance of success.”

The main body, having merged with the source seed, possesses the strongest combat power among the nine true bodies. However, once the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" is mastered, the main body and most of the true bodies will return to the Heart Dream Universe.

After all, spending a long time in the Immortal Realm allows one to deduce the Eternal Dao at a rate less than one-thousandth of the efficiency of the cosmic spacetime, thus failing to maximize the efficiency of the Cosmic Lotus.

Li Yuan's main cultivation takes place primarily within the universe and spacetime.

"But it's the cosmic lotus."

“I have clearly entered the God King realm. In terms of strength, I am much stronger than the God King of Life back then… Why am I still unable to evolve the Cosmic Lotus?” Li Yuan silently sensed the Cosmic Lotus.

Based on the information previously obtained from the source species.

Once he reaches the God-King realm, he should be able to make the Cosmic Lotus evolve again and unleash even greater power... However, thousands of years have passed since he entered the God-King realm, and he has not succeeded yet.

No matter how much Li Yuan tried to comprehend and study the source seed, he found no results.

"Could it be that my Dao realm is not high enough?" Li Yuan wondered. "That's why I can't allow the Origin Seed to undergo further transformation?"

For now, Li Yuan can only speculate.

Although the God of Life left behind a lot of information, there was very little information about the Origin Species, and much of it was just speculation.

After all, even when the God of Life was completely destroyed, his strength was still inferior to that of Li Yuan now, and he had not fully figured out the mysteries of the Origin Seed.

"If the Cosmic Lotus cannot transform again, its usefulness to me will continue to diminish," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

The Cosmic Lotus is indeed miraculous.

However, its two main methods, the 'Nine Lotus Realm' used for combat, are ultimately only at the level of ordinary imperial weapons... and are of little use to Li Yuan, who has already taken the second step of the World Dao.

Only the 'Wanling Analysis' can be considered unique.

At least for now, Li Yuan has not seen any secret treasures with similar functions.

At the same time, Li Yuan could also sense that as his realm increased and the life substances and materials he used for analysis became more and more rare, the analysis speed of the Cosmic Lotus was constantly decreasing. In fact, it became increasingly blurry when analyzing the Emperor's Blood... Clearly, the Myriad Spirits Analysis was not omnipotent and had its limits.

The "Analysis of All Spirits" seems to primarily analyze life forms below the Emperor Realm.

"However, even if the Myriad Spirits Analysis only applies to life forms below the Emperor Realm."

"At least, it will be of great use before I take the third step in the Path of Ten Thousand Spirits. As a person, one must learn to be content." Li Yuan smiled slightly.

call!
With a wave of his hand, Li Yuan's true form caused the cosmic lotus to immediately shrink layer by layer, and the large amount of life material that had been floating was immediately collected.

The other true forms also disappeared.

In the end, the Juexing Palace became empty and quiet again, with only Li Yuan's true form and another true form remaining.

"One of the true forms has remained in the Mohe Starfield for a long time."

"One of the true forms remains in the Juexing Palace."

"Other true forms, proceed to the Immortal World." Li Yuan took a step, the starry sky reversed, and he arrived in the outer starry sky.

In the endless, dark void.

As far as the eye could see, there were many stars, many of which were inhabited by a vast number of life forms, the vast majority of whom were mortals, but there were also a large number of demigods and virtual gods...

"Small world".

"There are quite a lot." As the Palace Master of Juexing Emperor Palace, Li Yuan had extremely high authority. With a thought, he could sense the space-time where the Divine Court headquarters was located.

Over the long years, millions of small worlds have been created.

Every little world is vast, teeming with life... Every moment, countless joys and sorrows, loves and hates unfold.

"Oh? That little guy, his entire clan was wiped out? And he was adopted by his enemy? Is it for a bigger scheme?" Li Yuan's gaze swept across the small worlds.

Countless lives exist in these small worlds.

Past, present, future... countless possibilities flowed through his heart, like a vast river of destiny.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, is the one who looks down upon destiny.

He can easily deduce the fate and timeline of countless vulnerable lives, and even change the future of these countless lives.

"This illusory god is quite cunning; he's a character..." Li Yuan merely observed everything from the sidelines.

Millions of small worlds, many of which are directly controlled by the Divine Court.

However, there are also many small worlds left to develop on their own... Li Yuan will not interfere in the operation of any of these small worlds, but will simply observe from the sidelines.

Furthermore, the struggles and competition among life forms in numerous smaller worlds are all secretly maintained by the Chaos Divine Court.

"Born in hardship, die in comfort."

“My vast territory of the Chaos Divine Court is generally peaceful and stable, but a certain degree of fighting and killing... is necessary to maintain competition and keep countless lives willing to cultivate diligently and without slacking off.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “And thus, it is possible to maintain a general peace.”

"It relies on overwhelming military force to deter all sides."

Having witnessed the Spiritwood Universe and the bloody slaughter of the Abyss powerhouses, Li Yuan understood how precious the peace within the Chaos Divine Court's territory truly was.

The vast majority of the universe is a wasteland of life, and in the very few areas where life can be nurtured, the competition is extremely fierce.

call!
Li Yuan's gaze swept over one of the small worlds... This small world was extremely peaceful and was inhabited by a large number of cultivators.

This is the small world where the 'Heart Source God Clan' lives.

After thousands of years of reproduction, the number of Heart Source Gods has continued to increase, and now a large number of illusory gods and true gods have been born.

Even someone like Xin Yu, the first patriarch of the Heart Source God Clan, awakened the Nine Star Meridian and, under Li Yuan's tutelage, has already entered the Heavenly God Realm. He is extremely famous among the younger generation of Heavenly Gods in the Chaos God Court.

Li Yuan has very complex feelings towards the bloodline descendants he personally created; they are all like his own children.

Therefore, some of the most powerful descendants of the Heart Source God Clan often received guidance from Li Yuan.

“Family.” Li Yuan then looked at another small world.

That was the little world in which the Li family lived.

My uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and many other members of the Li clan lived in that small, peaceful world.

Looking from afar.

"That's wonderful." A smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips. He had cultivated and grown stronger along the way, all for the sake of protecting all of this.

But soon, Li Yuan calmed down.

"The Tribulation of the Cycle of Reincarnation in the Universe?"

"Eternity? Generation after generation of supreme beings and even quasi-saints eventually either perish or vanish without a trace, their fates uncertain." Li Yuan silently thought to himself, "Having come this far, how could I, Li Yuan, easily give up?"

"Everything I cherish."

“No one can take it away! Not even God.” Li Yuan looked into the depths of the universe, as if he saw the 'eternal river' that stretched across the endless universe.

call!
Li Yuan himself took another step and disappeared from this space-time.

Not long after.

He had already left the Ziwei Star Region and arrived in another dark void.

"Ancient Universe Realm." With a thought, Li Yuan conjured a dark purple sphere in his palm, which emitted a hazy glow.

It was none other than the Ancient Universe Realm, whose aura was completely concealed.

Having entered the God-King realm, especially after taking the second step in the World Dao, with both divine power and Dao undergoing a complete transformation, Li Yuan was able to truly unleash the Ancient Universe Realm.

It can also be completely stored away and controlled in one's mind.

snort~
With a thought, Li Yuan focused his entire being on sensing the countless profound Dao patterns contained within the origin of the Ancient Universe Realm, followed by a surge of divine power flowing into it.

It directly penetrated into every part of the ancient universe.

"Truly mysterious," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Even though he had grasped some of the fundamental mysteries of the Ancient Universe and could truly activate this imperial weapon, Li Yuan still felt somewhat incredulous every time he sensed the operation of the entire Ancient Universe's origin.

Complex! Profound! Perfect!

"Regarding the structure," Li Yuan sighed, "my inner universe's structure is more perfect than the ancient universe's... but in terms of absolute height, my inner universe is much weaker." "This ancient universe is much more powerful than I initially imagined."

Li Yuan's inner universe is like an incredibly solid foundation, strong enough to support a thousand-story building.

It has immense potential, but ultimately, it has only laid the foundation for now; it will take enough time to truly build a skyscraper.

But what about the Ancient Universe? It is already a skyscraper in itself.

"Small grave".

“Your guess was correct; the Ancient Universe Realm is indeed more mysterious and powerful,” Li Yuan transmitted his voice. “It is even stronger than the Abyss-Slaying Divine Spear.”

"You have never been able to discern the Tao inherent in its origin."

"Looking at it now, it should be a 'harmonious path,' a mixture of different top-tier eternal paths in its origin," Li Yuan said softly.

The higher the realm and the stronger the power.

Li Yuan's vision has also become increasingly broad. As for the Shiyuan, although it is a top-grade imperial weapon, it is extremely mysterious... but with Li Yuan's current strength, he is not far from completely mastering it.

Could it be the ancient universe?

Li Yuan is only unleashing a small amount of power at this point.

Initially, Li Yuan thought that the Ancient Universe Realm and the Abyss of Slaughter were similar, but now it seems that the Ancient Universe Realm is far more precious than the Abyss of Slaughter.

"Are you sure? Could it really be the Supreme Emperor Weapon?" Xiao Mu's voice rang out. His true form was inside the Myriad Saints Stone Wall and had been following Li Yuan's true form all along.

Xiao Mu had excellent eyesight, but he wasn't a true cultivator. Therefore, he had only sensed that the Ancient Universe Realm was extremely mysterious, but he couldn't confirm it completely.

“I only have a suspicion,” Li Yuan said in a low voice.

"If it is truly a complete Dao-merging Origin, then it is undoubtedly a Supreme Emperor Weapon... However, only a Supreme Emperor can forge a Supreme Being, which makes it somewhat strange." Xiao Mu's voice revealed a hint of curiosity: "Was this truly forged by the Heart Dream God Emperor? Or did he obtain it from some hidden place?"

"Hard to say," Li Yuan said, shaking his head.

Back then, the Holy Spirit of the Ancient Universe Realm said that the Ancient Universe Realm was created by the God Emperor Xinmeng using the relics left behind by the Supreme Lord Hongying as its foundation.

Looking at it now, even if it really has some connection with Supreme Hongying, such a treasure is not something that God Emperor Xinmeng could have crafted.

“I have followed Brother Beihe for many years and am also familiar with Supreme Hongying,” Xiao Mu said. “But I have never seen Supreme Hongying possess a similar treasure.”

"It seems."

"The Heart Dream God Emperor is even more extraordinary than I imagined," said Little Tomb.

Li Yuan nodded. According to various intelligence reports, the strength of the Heart Dream God Emperor was not as strong as that of the peak Emperor Realm... But judging from the methods he had shown and the scene of his battle with the Abyss God Emperor, it was clear that...

"In terms of the terrifying nature of his methods, perhaps we should regard the Heart Dream God Emperor as a ruler-level existence," Li Yuan thought to himself.

in fact.

Li Yuan was also a little curious. He had already become a God King... If the God Emperor Xinmeng had any plans, why hadn't he summoned him yet?

As thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

"Hidden Fate!" Li Yuan's divine power finally penetrated every part of the Ancient Universe Realm's origin, and then activated a few of its origin Dao patterns, unleashing a great secret technique contained within the Ancient Universe Realm's origin.

immediately!

A mysterious and vast fluctuation emanated from the ancient universe, and this aura merged almost perfectly with Li Yuan's soul aura... Instantly, almost all the causal lines extending from Li Yuan's true body were completely subdued.

"Cause and effect convergence".

"Let alone in the Immortal Realm, even in the universe, it would be extremely difficult for the rulers to track me down," Li Yuan thought to himself.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the mysteries of the Ancient Universe Realm's origin, Li Yuan also realized that the origin Dao patterns of the Ancient Universe Realm contained three great techniques.

These are titled "Hidden Fate", "Suppressing the Boundary", and "Destroying the Universe"...

"Hidden Fate" represents the divination of heavenly secrets that conceal one's own life force and disrupt the enemy's plans. It can also help Li Yuan to make certain divinations, representing the application of cause and effect in the realm of destiny.

"Suppressing Boundaries" means controlling space and time. Once activated, it will not only cause Li Yuan's control over space and time in all directions to increase dramatically.

"Destroy the Universe" is a material attack that destroys and kills. When the attack is unleashed, a magnificent universe is smashed out, with boundless power.

Of course, besides the three great techniques, other techniques such as soul attack and soul protection can also be used through the Ancient Universe Realm, but these are not its main powers.

"The Three Great Skills"

"I have only used it to a preliminary level. If I could fully unleash it, its power would be limitless." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Even ordinary imperial weapons are precious if they contain a certain ultimate technique."

"But the Ancient Universe Realm is skilled in three great techniques, and its value is definitely above that of the Abyss of Slaughter."

Although it is not yet possible to determine whether the Ancient Universe Realm is a Supreme Emperor Weapon, Li Yuan believes it is at least superior to the Killing Abyss.

call!
Li Yuan completely concealed his aura, the cause and effect becoming imperceptible, and quickly traversed time and space to leave... after he used "Suppressing Boundaries" again.

The travel speed increased again.

While the Ancient Universe Realm's "Suppressing Realm" technique is primarily used for combat and killing, it can also be used for time travel, escaping, and tracking enemies.

This has enabled Li Yuan to travel through time and space at a speed no less than that of a normal Emperor Realm cultivator.

Just a few days later.

"The Gate of Immortality." Without encountering any obstacles, Li Yuan's five true bodies crossed the Gate of Immortality and entered the Immortal World.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Immortal World, in a star field not far from Tianluo Star City, one of Li Yuan's true forms arrived here with the Chaos God Emperor.

After a while.

hum~
The distant void suddenly tore open, and endless golden light flashed, forming a golden river spanning hundreds of millions of miles in the starry sky. Following closely behind, three black dragons exuding terrifying auras pulled a magnificent celestial chariot slowly down from the golden river.

They arrived in front of Li Yuan and the Chaos God Emperor.

"They've arrived," the Chaos God Emperor said softly.

"Those three black dragons? Are they Emperor-level puppets?" Li Yuan's gaze fell on the three black dragons, sensing their unique aura.

"Ah."

“Each black dragon was obtained from the Immortal Temple, costing over 10 billion Immortal Merits,” the Chaos God Emperor transmitted. “In terms of strength, they are all close to the peak of the Emperor Realm.”

Li Yuan was secretly alarmed.

In other words, these three black dragons alone cost tens of billions of immortal merits.

With the strength of an Immortal Emperor, he actually didn't need these three black dragons; it was purely for show, which was indeed quite extravagant.

call!
The celestial chariot landed, revealing an elderly man in white robes sitting inside.

He wore a smile, as if he were a born sage, able to see through all the secrets of the world. His gaze instilled a sense of dread in Li Yuan.

"Immortal Emperor, it's been a long time," the Chaos God Emperor said calmly.

"Haha, I am very happy to see my old friend." The Immortal Emperor smiled and looked to the side: "This must be my young friend Xinyuan. At only the God King Realm, your demeanor is so extraordinary. You are indeed worthy of being a legendary perfect ten-star vein. It is a great blessing for my Eighth Dark Domain to have such a peerless genius as you."

"You flatter me, Immortal Emperor," Li Yuan said calmly.

"I'm not exaggerating. A perfect ten-star vein... The last perfect ten-star vein born in my Eighth Dark Domain, at least as far as I know, was the Northern River Supreme billions of years ago." The Immortal Emperor sighed, "The Heart Dream Universe and the Honghe Universe share the same origin."

"Perhaps, in the future, my friend Xinyuan will also achieve the supreme status."

"That is also a great legend in the entire universe." The Immortal Emperor sighed with emotion, showing no sign of the enmity between him and the Chaos Divine Court.

It was as if he genuinely praised Li Yuan.

"I dare not compare myself to the Supreme Being of the Northern River," Li Yuan said, shaking his head.

"Even the Supreme Beings started from weakness. Compared to you, the Northern River Supreme Being might not have been as strong as you when he was young." The Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "It's a pity that there is no genius like you in my Immortal Court Alliance. Otherwise, I would definitely do my best to cultivate you."

"I suppose the Tianluo Alliance should have given you a spot for the Abyss Sea Sacrifice," the Immortal Emperor laughed. "Besides you and Zihuo, I can't think of anyone else who is qualified to receive a spot for the Sea Sacrifice."

Li Yuan's heart stirred.

So, after all that talk, it turns out the Celestial Emperor was trying to sow discord here.

"Immortal Emperor, this is a matter between my Chaos Divine Court and the Tianluo Universe Alliance, so you don't need to worry about it." The Chaos God Emperor said in a low voice, "Let's fulfill our previous agreement first."

"Row."

"Then I will first make an eternal vow," the Immortal Emperor said decisively.

Quickly.

The Immortal Emperor and Li Yuan made an eternal vow one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the Immortal Emperor took out a storage magic treasure and handed it directly to Li Yuan: "Young friend Xin Yuan, you can take stock of it."

“I believe in the Immortal Emperor,” Li Yuan said, accepting the offer directly.

There's no need for the other party to fake it. If they did, then Li Yuan's eternal vow would naturally be invalid, so Li Yuan isn't worried.

"in addition."

"I have already given orders for the Azure Immortal Ancestor to withdraw all his power in the Spirit Wood Universe. The Spirit Wood Universe should return to normal soon," the Immortal Emperor said. "The oath has been made, so I will depart now."

"I will come to congratulate you again when you open up Star City, my dear friend Xinyuan."

hum~
The endless starlight receded, and three black dragons, pulling the celestial chariot, swiftly disappeared into the end of the Milky Way.

"Xinyuan, you sent me a message before, asking if you wanted to buy various cultivation resources with these 30 billion Eternal Crystals? Did you hope I could help you buy them?" The Chaos God Emperor looked at Li Yuan.

"Correct."

"This is my list of treasures I need." Li Yuan waved his hand, and a list of treasures immediately appeared in front of the Chaos God Emperor.

Densely packed!

Apart from a dozen or so imperial weapons, the rest are all cultivation aids.

From the vast amounts of low-level life materials found in various dark domains to the life materials at the level of gods and god-kings.

In addition, there are large quantities of King Soul Source Liquid, and even Emperor Soul Source Liquid, as well as many rare treasures such as the Destiny Record and the Void Fate Stone Slip.

The quantity was incredibly astonishing.

"So many treasures, are you planning to turn all 30 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals into nothing at once?" The Chaos God Emperor was also quite surprised: "To simultaneously deduce multiple Eternal Paths?"

What a vision he has!
After reviewing the resources and treasures required by Li Yuan, one could gain a fairly good understanding of Li Yuan's cultivation plan.

"So many treasures, it would be really hard to gather them all within Tianluo Star City alone," said the Chaos God Emperor. "But it's easy for me to help you collect them. I'll contact some Emperor-level friends in other star cities."

"Within three months."

"I will give you all the treasures on the list."
