Chapter 755 The Vision of the Dream God Emperor (6K)

To leave a mark on the history of the universe! Unique!

This was the evaluation of Li Yuan by the God Emperor Xinmeng. Perhaps the God Emperor Juexing and the God Emperor Chaos felt it was a bit exaggerated, after all, in the endless and long history of the universe, there have always been some incredible geniuses.

Only Li Yuan felt a slight stirring in his heart.

A unique path?

Others may not know, but Li Yuan is well aware of how special his journey has been. The four spiritual guidances he received in his early years allowed his star veins to reach the limit of nine star veins... which laid the foundation for his transformation into a perfect ten star vein.

From the perfect ten-star veins to the transformation of the will to the God-King level (Eternal Heart) in the True God Realm, ascending Purple Mountain to recognize the Ancient Universe Realm as the master, and opening up the near-perfect Inner Universe Realm... every step can be called the limit of the cultivation path.

Whether it's the Mind Palace, Purple Mountain, or the Ancient Universe Realm... the guide behind the scenes is the Mind Dream God Emperor. He is like an invisible hand, guiding Li Yuan step by step to the peak.

Li Yuan had many questions and curiosities about the God Emperor Xinmeng.

"Four top-tier eternal paths, tsk tsk, I haven't even opened one top-tier eternal path yet." Juexing God Emperor sighed, "For countless years, the path of life has never evolved into the path of myriad spirits. My disciple, compared with you, my talent for cultivation is truly insignificant."

Both the Chaos God Emperor and Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Master, Senior Xinmeng," Li Yuan said respectfully, "There is still something I don't understand."

"Speak," said the Star God Emperor hastily.

“Based on the information I have and my observations of many other universes, it seems that once a ruler is born in any universe, in most cases, he can integrate the entire universe.” Li Yuan said, “The Tianluo Universe Alliance and the Immortal Court are examples of this.”

"But why can't Yun Jing do it?"

In the vast universe, looking across the dark realms, there exist Emperor Realm beings whose individual strength is enough to dominate the universe, and no one dares to underestimate them.

However, to be recognized as a dominant force by all parties in the vast universe, one must be a ruler.

Only the ruler is qualified to establish a star city in the immortal world.

Only the ruler is qualified to establish the Universe Alliance in the Dark Domain.

Only those who reign supreme are qualified to obtain special privileges in other eternal ruins such as the Ancient Ruins of the Long River... In short, the status of a supreme being far surpasses that of a peak Emperor.

"Li Yuan, you're right."

The Chaos God Emperor said, "Under normal circumstances, the Supreme Beings are too powerful, their Dao realm is too high, they stand at the pinnacle of the universe, and they can perfectly control the origin of the universe... Therefore, even the Star Domain Lords have no power to resist them."

"Within the universe, the Supreme Beings are virtually invincible; no other God Emperor can stop them."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

Within the universe, many God-Kings are not afraid of God-Emperors because of their own abilities as Star Domain Lords. By merging with the origin of their Star Domains, God-Kings can greatly increase their strength and are fully capable of protecting themselves.

"As for the rulers, although they may not have perfect control over the origin of the universe, they can still draw upon a small portion of the power of the universe's origin through their two top-tier eternal paths," said the Chaos God Emperor. "At least, most things that happen within the universe cannot be hidden from the rulers."

"Even the status of star field lords like the God-Kings is no match for the invasion of a ruler."

"Ordinary Emperor Realm cultivators can protect themselves by hiding in their home star region... but once they try to leave their home star region, the Sovereigns can sense it and intercept them. This is equivalent to sealing ordinary Emperor Realm cultivators off in their home star region. This is also the origin of the title Sovereign. Sovereigns are cultivators who rule over a universe, hence the title 'Sovereign.'" The Chaos God Emperor solemnly said, "Only those at the peak of the Emperor Realm, who master the fourth step of a top-tier Eternal Dao, can slightly resist the Sovereigns in their home universe and maintain a high degree of independence."

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

It turns out that the Overlord already possesses almost invincible strength in his home universe. Ordinary Emperor Realm cultivators can barely protect themselves, while the identity of a 'Star Domain Lord' for an eighth-order cultivator like a God King is of little use.

That's why.

In all the universes, the rulers basically possess absolute power... especially rulers like the Immortal Emperor, who also hold the Immortal Sealing Ranking, can truly decide the life and death of countless powerful individuals under their command with a single word, even those at the Emperor Realm.

"What about the cloudscape?" Li Yuan asked, increasingly puzzled.

"The ruler of the home world is almost invincible, except in one situation." Emperor Juexing continued, "One must never take the path of the abyss to become a ruler... The rulers of the abyss lineage are entangled in karma and suffer too much from the abyss. They will be invisibly antagonized by the rules of the universe and will always be rejected by the origin of the universe, making it impossible for them to control the origin of the universe."

"Therefore, we never worry about Yun Jing," Emperor Juexing said with a smile.

Li Yuan finally understood.

It turns out that there are such restrictions on walking the path to the abyss.

Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that the path to the abyss is subtly directed towards the entire universe.

Like the immortal heavens and earth, although they seem to yearn for some top-tier treasures born from the universe, they are not as naked and direct as the will of the abyss.

Naturally, powerful members of the Abyss lineage will also be met with hostility from the entire universe.

"Of course, if one can achieve the Supreme Being status, even if it is achieved by taking shortcuts along the path of the abyss, one can still forcibly refine the origin of the universe with unparalleled strength and become invincible within the universe," the Chaos God Emperor solemnly said.

Li Yuan nodded.

The Supreme Being is either a Dao Integration expert or someone who has taken the fourth step on one of the three top-tier Eternal Daos; either way, it is incredible.

Although the origin of the universe is vast and powerful, it has no consciousness and is indeed unable to withstand the power of the Supreme Being.

The Supreme Being is absolutely invincible within the universe.

"Actually, there is another special reason why Yun Jing is constantly hindered in the universe, and even ordinary God Emperors from other divine courts are not afraid of him," God Emperor Juexing said with a smile. "That is Senior Xinmeng."

Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Disciple, you have already opened the path of the Heart and the Weapon. Although it is only the first step, you should have felt the special nature of cultivators in the Void Realm," said the Star God Emperor.

Li Yuan nodded. Although he had only recently opened the Heart-Weapon Path, he could indeed sense that cultivators in the Void Realm were quite special.

"Senior Xinmeng's 'Xinmeng Dao' is not a top-tier eternal Dao, but it is extremely profound and can establish a vast Dream Universe." Juexing God Emperor sighed, "The vastness of the Dream Universe covers the entire Universe and also influences the Universe, which can be called another side of the Universe... Senior Xinmeng has even infiltrated a little of the origin of the Universe."

"Through the special nature of the Dream Realm, Senior Xinmeng has been secretly hindering many of Yun Jing's plans," said the God Emperor Juexing.

"That's amazing?" Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

As far as he knew, the Heart Dream Path was not the ultimate Eternal Path.

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the Heart Dream God Emperor.

“Li Yuan, you already possess such strength, there are some things I should reveal to you.” The Chaos God Emperor laughed, “In fact, Senior Xinmeng was originally a peak Emperor Realm existence.”

Li Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this. Peak Emperor Realm?

"This is a great secret in the universe. Because Senior Xinmeng rarely takes action, very few people know about it," said the Chaos God Emperor. "Back then, Senior Xinmeng achieved the Emperor Realm with the 'Xinmeng Dao,' but she was never able to deduce and evolve it into the Xinwu Dao."

"Later, Senior Xinmeng opened up the Path of Time and Space... and took the fourth step along the Path of Time and Space, achieving the peak of the Emperor Realm," said the Chaos God Emperor.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. Although he had just learned of the news, he wasn't too surprised.

How mysterious was the Heart Dream God Emperor before? His many special methods were completely unlike those of an ordinary Emperor Realm cultivator.

It turns out that after becoming an emperor, the Heart Dream God Emperor opened up the Time and Space Path and took the fourth step.

"Based on time and space, and supplemented by the Dream of the Heart, it was the Dream of the Heart that ultimately enabled Senior Dream of the Heart to unleash the heaven-defying ultimate technique, the Dream Universe. Under normal circumstances, only when the Heart Artifact Path takes the fourth step can the Dream Universe be created." The Chaos God Emperor sighed, "It is because of the Dream Universe that I have been able to live on, and my true body can still move in the Eternal Ruins... Otherwise, I would have been annihilated by time long ago."

"It is precisely because the God Emperor Xinmeng has been secretly fighting against Yun Jing and hindering many of Yun Jing's plans that the entire universe has been able to maintain peace. Otherwise, with Yun Jing's talent and his cultivation along the Abyss Path, he should have become the Abyss Ruler long ago." The God Emperor Juexing also sighed, "It wouldn't have been delayed until today, and where would the other divine courts of the universe be enjoying their peaceful days?"

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

Li Yuan already knew a lot about the Chaos God Emperor. His lifespan had ended, and he was unable to appear in the universe. It was said that he was trapped by the Abyss God Emperor... Now it seems that it was entirely because of the Heart Dream God Emperor that he was able to continue to exist.

“Li Yuan, you have now opened up the path of the Heart Artifact.” The Heart Dream God Emperor looked at Li Yuan with a calm expression: “When you take the fourth step in the future, you will also be able to create the Dream Universe… At that time, you will also have my abilities, and even surpass me. I look forward to that day.”

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded emphatically.

Each top-tier Eternal Path, upon taking the fourth step, will possess unique abilities. For example, the Path of Destiny's deductive abilities reach an astonishing level, while the Path of Mind and Artifact will allow the Mind's True Realm to completely evolve into the Dream Universe.

Of course, it is extremely rare for a powerful Emperor Realm expert to reach the fourth step in areas such as the Dao of Destiny, the Dao of Mind and Weapon, and the Dao of Time and Space. It is difficult to find even one peak Emperor Realm expert among a hundred.

"Li Yuan."

“Now that your strength has been exposed and is known to the Cloud Emperor, he will definitely leak it. We want to actively spread the news of your battle in the Honghe Supreme Star City.” The Chaos Emperor said in a low voice, “In this way, it should be able to influence the judgment of many high-level experts in the Star City.”

"At least, it will reduce the number of rulers and peak emperors who are willing to hunt you down," said the Chaos God Emperor. "At the same time, it will also greatly improve the situation of many powerful figures from my Chaos Palace when they venture out into the world."

Do you agree?

Li Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

There was no need to hide the intelligence of this battle, nor his own strength... but the Chaos God Emperor's attitude towards him had clearly changed again.

Strength determines status.

Previously, although the Chaos God Emperor valued Li Yuan highly and even addressed him by his name, he still held the dominant position... But now, having confirmed Li Yuan's strength, his mindset has completely changed.

They have completely regarded Li Yuan as a powerhouse of the same level, or even placed him in a higher position... After all, Li Yuan has nine true forms.

If one true form is this powerful, what about nine true forms working together?

“Sure.” Li Yuan smiled. “Protecting the Chaos Palace lineage and improving the living environment for its many powerful members is also my duty.”

Whether the spread of the news would cause more powerful forces to abandon their bounties for the assassination was of no concern to Li Yuan.

I wasn't afraid when I was only a seventh-level quasi-saint, let alone now?

The Chaos God Emperor and the Awakening Star God Emperor both smiled. One of the important reasons they valued Li Yuan so much was that Li Yuan was extremely sentimental.

Throughout his cultivation journey, Li Yuan did his best to help those who had been kind to him after he became powerful.

“Disciple, if there is nothing else, then disperse,” said the Star God Emperor. “If you obtain any special information in the Immortal Temple, then you can tell us.”

"There is one more thing."

Li Yuan quickly said, "That Divine Guard Commander said that he would lead me to the Immortal Temple, where I would have the chance to obtain some extremely special treasures that are not listed in the Immortal Temple's treasure catalog... He asked me to think about whether there was anything I wanted."

call!
The Star God Emperor, the Chaos God Emperor, and even the Heart Dream God Emperor all looked over. "Disciple, are you right?"

"You are a holder of a five-star immortal token, so the exchangeable treasures you can find should all be of extremely high quality, including high-grade imperial weapons... and even more special and precious ones?"

"What does the Immortal Temple want you to do?" Both Juexing God Emperor and Chaos God Emperor felt somewhat incredulous, and at the same time, they were a little worried.

They knew very well the nature of the Temple of Immortality.

Such a large investment must have come with a purpose.

"I don't know what you want me to do yet," Li Yuan shook his head and said, "So, I'd like to hear your suggestions."

In fact, Li Yuan had already told Xiao Mu the general situation and received some suggestions from Xiao Mu on how to exchange for treasures.

However, in the spirit of pooling wisdom, I would also like to ask for the opinions of the three God Emperors, especially the thoughts of God Emperor Xinmeng.

"Special treasures? You've opened up four Eternal Paths... Logically, the best thing would be a treasure to aid in enlightenment." Emperor Juexing frowned. "Or something like a top-tier imperial weapon, but would the Immortal Temple be willing to bestow a top-tier imperial weapon?"

“Supreme techniques can also be considered,” the Chaos God Emperor said solemnly.

As they spoke, they all turned their gazes toward the God Emperor Xinmeng.

"Senior Xinmeng, what do you think?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"The best thing is to experience the complete workings of the eternal origin of heaven and earth," the God Emperor Xinmeng said slowly. "This will greatly benefit you."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

because.

What the God Emperor Xinmeng said was exactly the same as what Xiao Mu said... During the questioning of Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu also mentioned comprehending the mysteries of the operation of the immortal world's origin.

“But the Immortal Temple might not agree.” God Emperor Xinmeng continued, “Therefore, the next best requirement is to learn the sub-saint’s ultimate techniques, preferably the sub-saint’s ultimate techniques of cultivators in the Void Realm… This is the rarest type of sub-saint’s ultimate techniques.”

Li Yuan wasn't the only one listening.

Even the Chaos God Emperor and the Awakening Star God Emperor were listening; this was something neither of them had ever imagined.

These things were beyond their comprehension; clearly, the Heart Dream God Emperor's vision was far superior to theirs.

"Next, there is the identity of 'Cosmic God Guardian'," said the God Emperor Xinmeng. "With such an identity, you will hardly be in any danger in the Immortal World, and you will have many advantages... The next level is weapons and magic treasures such as top-level imperial weapons and superior-grade imperial weapons."

"However, the difficulty of obtaining the Cosmic God Guardian may be even greater than that of the Quasi-Saint's Ultimate Technique."

“A top-tier imperial weapon might be even more precious than a sub-saint's ultimate technique… but for you, a mere imperial weapon isn’t that important,” said the Heart Dream God Emperor. “Even a top-tier imperial weapon.”

Li Yuan nodded.

Perhaps the identity of a Cosmic God Guardian is more precious, and top-level imperial weapons are even rarer, which many rulers may not even possess, but the ultimate techniques of a sub-saint are the most suitable for him.

As one's strength grows, and even after entering the Emperor Realm, one is destined to possess terrifying power even without a top-tier Emperor Weapon. Furthermore, if one becomes a Supreme in the future, one can completely forge a top-tier Emperor Weapon that is most suitable for oneself.

Other peak Emperor Realm and Sovereign Realm experts, lacking the ability to forge their own weapons, seek to obtain top-tier Emperor Weapons in order to maximize their strength.

time flies.

The three God Emperors took turns speaking, with God Emperor Xinmeng speaking the most. This gradually made it clearer for Li Yuan what he wanted.

Finally, Li Yuan bid farewell to the three God Emperors, and then his illusory avatar vanished.

Inside the palace.

"I never expected my disciple to grow so fast and have such a great opportunity." Emperor Juexing sighed, "Peak Emperor Realm! I have been yearning for it for so long, but I still cannot break through."

"It's only a hair's breadth away; there's still hope," said the Chaos God Emperor.

He knew that the Star God Emperor's strength had reached the pinnacle of the Dao of Life, and he was poised to transform into the Dao of Myriad Spirits at any moment.

Once transformed, it becomes the fourth step of the Path of Ten Thousand Spirits.

“If you take one step too slowly, you will take every step too slowly.” Emperor Juexing shook his head and said, “When the Eternal Path first takes its first step, it is the best time for its essential transformation, after all, everything has just begun... But I have already taken the fourth step, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to push the Eternal Path to evolve.”

Generally speaking, after entering the Emperor Realm, the strong will create stronger unique skills and obtain stronger Emperor Weapons, but it is extremely difficult to achieve a fundamental transformation in their Dao.

"As long as you're alive, there's always a glimmer of hope," said the Chaos God Emperor. "Unlike me, I have no hope at all."

Juexing God Emperor was taken aback.

indeed.

Even if it's difficult for him to reach the peak of the Emperor Realm, there's always a path ahead. But the path of the Chaos God Emperor has been cut off... He doesn't even dare to show himself in the universe for a moment.

If he shows himself, he will surely die.

But if they don't show themselves at all, even if they break through the Eternal Dao, how can they drive the evolution of the Inner Universe?
"chaos."

“Once Li Yuan enters the Emperor Realm, we can have some hope by relying on him,” the Heart Dream God Emperor said softly. “In any case, this life is only a hundred billion years, not eternal, and will dissipate sooner or later, so why care too much?”

"Chaos, pass on the news of this battle to Tianlu and the others."

"it is good."

……

Inside the palace on the other side of the warship, Li Yuan's avatar coalesced once more, but this time, only the God Emperor Xinmeng came to see him.

"Senior Xinmeng," Li Yuan said, bowing.

"I never expected you to open up the Heart Artifact Path so quickly; it's beyond my expectations." The Heart Dream God Emperor looked at Li Yuan, a complex expression in his eyes: "A God King's inner world can easily support four top-tier Eternal Paths. Your inner world is stronger than I imagined..."

"We've relied entirely on Senior Xinmeng's guidance along the way," Li Yuan said.

“My guidance is indeed important, but you are not the only one who has received my guidance.” The Heart Dream God Emperor shook his head and said, “Throughout history, how many people have received the Heart God Palace? Spiritual guidance can only help your star veins reach the limit of the nine star veins.”

"Whether it's achieving a perfect ten-star vein."

"Whether you ultimately take control of the Ancient Universe Realm or not, it mainly depends on yourself." Emperor Xinmeng sighed, "To be honest, I never expected that the Ancient Universe Realm... would actually be successfully recognized as a master by a true god one day."

"When I first heard the news, it felt like a dream."

Li Yuan listened quietly.

This was the first time that the God Emperor Xinmeng had told him so much... Before, whether he had perfected the Ten Star Veins or obtained the Ancient Universe Realm, the God Emperor Xinmeng had never said much, and had never even taken the initiative to see him.

"I summoned you here alone to fulfill my previous promise. The day you open the Path of the Heart Artifact, you will truly be qualified." The Heart Dream God Emperor smiled.

Li Yuan felt a glimmer of hope.

“Send two of your true forms to the Ancient Ruins of the Long River… I will wait for you at Demon Heart Lake.” God Emperor Xinmeng said, “With your current mental will, you should be able to pass through Demon Heart Lake.”

"Going to the Ancient Ruins of Changhe?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"The Eternal Divine Palace is located in the Ancient Ruins of the Long River. I created the Divine Palace of the Mind in the hope that the candidate will one day take charge of the Eternal Divine Palace. If you don't come to the Ancient Ruins of the Long River, how can you take charge of the Eternal Divine Palace?" Emperor Xinmeng smiled.

"I understand," Li Yuan nodded.

The Heart Dream God Emperor's pursuit is for the candidate to one day take charge of the Eternal Divine Palace. This was something that the 'Dream Senior' of the Heart Dream Divine Palace had said before, so it's no secret.

However, a hint of worry flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

The Ancient Ruins of Changhe are recognized as the most dangerous and most precious of the 16 eternal ruins, where even supreme beings may perish.

Legend has it that many supreme rulers throughout history have ventured into the 'Eternal Path' located deep within the ancient ruins of the Long River... Whether this path truly exists remains a question...

But no one can deny the danger of the ancient ruins of Changhe.

In the past, the Supreme Being of the Northern River had roamed the Ancient Ruins of the Long River for a long time, so Little Tomb had a lot of information about the Ancient Ruins of the Long River.

Demon Heart Lake is a dangerous place deep within the Ancient Ruins of the Long River. Anyone below the Emperor Realm who ventures in will almost certainly perish.

“Senior Xinmeng, although I have many true forms, my main battle true form is the one that went to the Temple of Immortality,” Li Yuan said. “Could we wait for this true form to return to the universe before heading to the Ancient Ruins of the Long River?”

His main battle form carries a large number of treasures, especially the Abyss of Slaughter... Without this top-grade imperial weapon, the strength that Li Yuan's single main body could exert would not be much stronger than that of Master Juexing.

With this level of strength, venturing into the depths of the Ancient Ruins of the Long River? It's extremely dangerous.

"It doesn't matter."

“My true form has been cultivating in seclusion at Demon Heart Lake for a long time. We will meet whenever you arrive at Demon Heart Lake,” said the Heart Dream God Emperor.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

……

The Immortal Temple warship was extremely fast, tearing through the void time and time again to teleport. It arrived shortly after Li Yuan and the God Emperor Xinmeng finished their conversation.

"Li Yuan, we've arrived at the temple." Commander Cang Er suddenly opened his eyes.

Boom~
The warship's hatch opened, and Cang Er stood up and flew out of the warship. Li Yuan followed closely behind. What came into view was a majestic temple standing in the endless void.

The entire temple was shrouded in endless clouds and mist.

Occasionally, one can see some divine guards moving through the clouds and mist.

"Li Yuan, come with me," Cang Er said, waving his hand to retract the massive warship behind him. Immediately afterwards, an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two soared into the sky, quickly passing through layers of clouds and mist, flying towards the highest point of the majestic temple.
