"The consciousness of the Xian Realm is enraged?"
The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality was the first to sense the tremors in the Land of Origins.
"Is the Ancestor of the Martial Way approaching the consciousness of the Xian Realm?"
The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality looked towards the very center of the Land of Origins, but did not sense anything amiss.
Although he had long ago warned Lin Yuan about the terror of the Xian Realm's consciousness, and how it could easily marshal the power of the entire Xian Realm.
But the location of the Xian Realm's consciousness, which contained all the rules of the Xian Realm, was too great a temptation. In the end, he had suffered a significant loss because of it.
Now that Lin Yuan was approaching the consciousness, he must have made a similar discovery.
"I wonder how long the Ancestor of the Martial Way can hold out against the consciousness of the Xian Realm?" The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality mused with a hint of curiosity.
Even an Ancestor Immortal could not stand against the might of the entire Xian Realm, they could only hope to withstand it for a period.
The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality was prepared to lend his aid should Lin Yuan show any signs of being overwhelmed. With his experience in facing the consciousness, he was confident he could ensure Lin Yuan's safe retreat and, in doing so, earn the gratitude of the Ancestor of the Martial Way.
"For now, the consciousness of the Xian Realm is only marshaling the power of the Land of Origins, which is within the realm of normal. But should it call upon the full might of the Xian Realm, that would be truly terrifying."
The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality carefully sensed the situation, his mind racing.
Whoosh!
A terrifying power swept forth, enveloping Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan made no move to resist; in terms of power levels, he was inferior even to the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality, let alone the consciousness of the Xian Realm.
Lin Yuan's bold approach relied heavily on his comprehension of rules, or more specifically, his comprehension of space-time.
His insight into the Seventh Level of Space-Time Transcendence placed him above the Xian Realm in terms of space-time manipulation. This was why, despite the Ancestor of the Abyss tearing through the space-time fabric of a region, he was unable to affect Lin Yuan.
Rumble!
The violent power of the Origin Source surged past Lin Yuan in an instant, rushing towards the distance.
"It didn't touch me?"
Lin Yuan's heart settled.
As long as the consciousness of the Xian Realm couldn't touch him, everything would be fine.
If the consciousness could pinpoint Lin Yuan's true body, he would never have dared to come this close.
Rumble!
Unable to touch Lin Yuan, the consciousness of the Xian Realm did not relent. Instead, it continued to gather the power of the entire Land of Origins to suppress him.
Lin Yuan did not try to stop it; he merely continued his slow approach towards the location of the consciousness.
Time passed, and soon several days had gone by.
Perhaps realizing that it couldn't touch Lin Yuan, the consciousness paused briefly before sending out a wave of consciousness, seeking to communicate with Lin Yuan.
Being a consciousness, it was naturally capable of communication. However, when faced with the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality, there had been no need for discourse.
But now, Lin Yuan's presence made the consciousness feel 'troubled', at the very least, it was unable to do anything to him, hence its initiative to communicate.
"Let me in, and I shall experience the rules themselves," Lin Yuan transmitted his purpose.
"Impossible!" The consciousness of the Xian Realm responded furiously, outright rejecting Lin Yuan's request.
Its location was the core of the Land of Origins, the very source of its birth.
It was not only the origin of the myriad rules of the Xian Realm but also the source of its own consciousness.
Should Lin Yuan enter, he would not only be able to comprehend the rules themselves but also directly act against the consciousness of the Xian Realm.
Outside the core, the consciousness could easily wield the power of the entire Xian Realm, reaching anywhere within it. However, within the core, the power of the Xian Realm could not penetrate.
Not even the power of the Origin Source could affect it. Within the core, the consciousness of the Xian Realm was like a toothless tiger.
"I promise I won't take any hostile action against you," Lin Yuan quickly assured.
Having once replaced the world consciousness of the Tianqing World, he knew what such a consciousness feared the most, and so he offered his assurance without hesitation.
But the consciousness did not respond, and even the boiling Land of Origins quickly calmed down.
"You don't want to communicate anymore?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment before continuing his approach towards the core where the consciousness resided.
Soon enough, he stopped.
"A space-time barrier?"
Lin Yuan gazed at the distorted space-time before him.
Even with his insight into the Seventh Level of Space-Time Transcendence, he could not proceed any further.
"So this is your trump card?" Lin Yuan understood the situation.
To enter the core where the consciousness of the Xian Realm resided, one would not only have to face the furious counterattacks of the consciousness but also overcome the space-time barrier before them.
"Divine Ability: Tearing Heavens!"
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and an invisible power gathered as he gently tore at the space-time barrier before him.
This divine ability was one that Lin Yuan had awakened during his recent travels, and it was a pure or extremely aggressive divine ability.
Riiiiip!
With Lin Yuan's tear, the space-time barrier before him began to ripple slightly, but it recovered in the next instant.
"Was it useful?" Lin Yuan did not continue his attack.
A moment later, two figures appeared in the distance.
They were Lin Yuan's Taiyin Yuan Shen and Taiyang Yuan Shen.
The might of the Tearing Heavens divine ability depended on the comprehensive foundation of the user.
Although the incarnations Lin Yuan had condensed possessed extremely high combat power, they were still far inferior to his two main Yuan Shen.
But the two Great Yuan Gods...
Rip!
The two Great Yuan Gods extended their right hands and gently tore at the distant space-time barrier.
In an instant, the space-time barrier began to tremble slightly, but it quickly recovered.
"If you don't let me in, I'll bring the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality here." Lin Yuan communicated with the Xian Realm consciousness, "With the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality's offensive capabilities, even if he can't break through the space-time barrier in a short time, given enough time—a hundred million years, a billion years, or even ten billion years—do you think you can still hold out?"
In fact, the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality's schemes wouldn't even get him close to the space-time barrier. Long before he could get near, he would be suppressed by the vast power of the world that the Xian Realm consciousness could marshal.
But if Lin Yuan lent a hand, the situation would be different.
Lin Yuan's insight into the seventh level of space-time transcendence meant that even the Xian Realm consciousness couldn't pinpoint his exact spatial coordinates.
If Lin Yuan really wanted to bring the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality here, what he said might actually come true.
Of course, Lin Yuan was only making a threat; in reality, he didn't have the patience to wait for billions or even tens of billions of years.
But the Xian Realm consciousness didn't know that.
"By then, I can't guarantee that I won't take action against you," Lin Yuan continued.
The Xian Realm consciousness still showed no reaction.
"Very well, then. I'll go and bring the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality over right now, and while I'm at it, I'll bring the Ancestor of the Abyss over too." As Lin Yuan spoke, one of his incarnations quietly dissipated.
Right at that moment...
The previously dormant Xian Realm consciousness began to stir once more, sending a message to Lin Yuan.
The general idea was...
How could Lin Yuan guarantee that he wouldn't take action against the Xian Realm consciousness after entering the core?
"You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me," Lin Yuan shook his head. "Either you agree and let me in now, or in a hundred million years, the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality and I will break in by force."
After speaking, Lin Yuan quietly waited for a response from the Xian Realm consciousness.
After a long while...
The Xian Realm consciousness finally sent another message, agreeing to Lin Yuan's request.
A hundred million years, a billion years—this was an inconceivably long time for Lin Yuan.
But for the Xian Realm consciousness, it was like the difference between tomorrow and the day after.
So the problem facing the Xian Realm consciousness was simple.
Should it let Lin Yuan in today?
Or should it wait for Lin Yuan to break in tomorrow or the day after?
The eventual outcomes of these choices were completely different.
"That's more like it." Lin Yuan smiled faintly.
The two Great Yuan Gods disappeared, leaving behind only one incarnation.
The space-time barrier in the distance began to distort, forming a temporary passage to the core.
The next moment...
Lin Yuan stepped through.
"Hmm?"
The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality widened his eyes.
Ever since he had sensed the tremors in the Origin Source, the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality had been observing Lin Yuan's confrontation with the Xian Realm consciousness through some means.
He had seen how Lin Yuan, with his profound understanding of space-time, had almost reached the core but was ultimately blocked by the space-time barrier. He had also witnessed the appearance of Lin Yuan's two Great Yuan Gods and their display of the Tearing Heavens strike.
Although the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality didn't know the specifics of the communication between Lin Yuan and the Xian Realm consciousness, he could clearly see that the Xian Realm consciousness had ultimately taken the initiative to open a passage and allow Lin Yuan to enter.
"The Ancestor of the Martial Way has gone in?"
The Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality was slightly dazed. For countless millions, even billions of years, he had yearned to enter the core where the Xian Realm consciousness resided, but it had only ever been a yearning. Unless he could achieve another qualitative leap in strength, he would never be a match for the Xian Realm consciousness.
But Lin Yuan...
In just over two hundred years since arriving in the Land of Origins, he had entered the very place that the Ancestor of the Dao of Immortality had desired yet been unable to attain?
Core of the Land of Origins.
Lin Yuan appeared in this place.
All around him was darkness, filled with countless drifting specks of light.
With a single glance, Lin Yuan noticed that these specks of light corresponded to some fundamental rule.
In the pitch-black space, countless specks of light drifted about, with the smallest being no larger than a fist and the largest as vast as a star.
"This is wonderful."
Lin Yuan examined each speck of light. Even the smallest one contained countless pieces of information—this was a fundamental rule itself. Even though Lin Yuan had already comprehended this rule, observing it again still brought him profound insights.
"When the Xian Realm enters its final phase, these specks of light in the core will collapse one after another, and outside, the Grand Dao will crumble."
"After all the rules contained within these specks of light collapse, they will subtly merge together, awaiting a new beginning after the long destruction?"
Lin Yuan pondered to himself. From the moment he entered the core, he had fallen into a state of enlightenment, unraveling and comprehending rules with every passing moment.
"Hmm?"
"That's the Xian Realm consciousness?"
With the remainder of his mental energy, Lin Yuan glanced over and noticed a glowing sphere floating in the distance.
This sphere was completely different from the other specks of light around it; it was the Xian Realm consciousness itself.
At this moment, the sphere was warily observing Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan naturally understood the Xian Realm consciousness' worries, but he was too engrossed in studying the countless specks of light drifting all around him to bother reassuring it.
Time passed.
Before he knew it, a thousand years had gone by.
