Chapter 530: The Arrival of Qing Shi
Chapter 530: The Arrival of Qing Shi (End of Chapter)
"Three thousand seven hundred Seeds of Fiery Sun."
Deep within Lin Yuan's body, another Seed of Fiery Sun took form, resonating with the three thousand six hundred and ninety-nine seeds that had come before.
The rules of the four directions rippled like a surging tide.
"This is too overwhelming," Lin Yuan exclaimed, astonished.
Even a pig, immersed in such tumultuous rule fluctuations, would have a chance to comprehend the Sixfold Realm of Space-Time.
With a well-established path, one could even aspire to challenge the ultimate Twelfth Tier.
And Lin Yuan was no ordinary being.
"Space-time…"
Amid the myriad rule fluctuations, Lin Yuan prioritized his insight into the fusion rules of space and time. As for the chaotic rules?
Chaotic rules, in themselves, were born from countless other rules. Elevating one's understanding of chaotic rules required enhancing one's comprehension of numerous other rules.
"The utility of the Seeds of Fiery Sun isn't merely limited to enhancing rule insights," Lin Yuan thought, his expression turning slightly solemn.
When he had forged three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Seeds of Fiery Sun, all the seeds within his body seemed to form a cycle, prompting a certain metamorphosis in his physical body.
This transformation wasn't merely a simple enhancement but one that veered towards the aspect of rules.
"Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Seeds of Fiery Sun is some sort of major threshold!" Lin Yuan concluded. The vast majority of lives in the Qing Fen Domain were aware of the milestones associated with the Seeds of Fiery Sun—one seed, ten seeds, a hundred seeds…
Whether it was ten, a hundred, or even a thousand seeds, they only served to increase one's insight into rules.
However, with three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Seeds of Fiery Sun, Lin Yuan's physical body and soul were subtly metamorphosing towards the extreme of rule alignment.
Lin Yuan didn't know what the endpoint of this transformation would be, but he was certain it wouldn't be anything detrimental.
"Let's put aside the physical metamorphosis for now. With my current insight into the fusion rules of space and time, I'll only need a year at most to reach the pinnacle of the Seventh Level."
Lin Yuan's thoughts turned inward. Without the aid of the Seeds of Fiery Sun, it would have taken him tens of thousands of years to confidently attain the pinnacle of the Seventh Level.
After condensing ten seeds, he could have achieved it in a millennium.
And now? With the empowerment of three thousand seven hundred Seeds of Fiery Sun, Lin Yuan was confident that he would reach the pinnacle of the Seventh Level of space-time fusion in a year at most.
He even dared to hope that he could touch upon the Eighth Level of space-time in a short period.
"However, it's evidently much more difficult to condense a new Seed of Fiery Sun now than it was in the beginning," Lin Yuan mused to himself.
Starting from the three thousand three hundred and thirty-fourth Seed of Fiery Sun, the difficulty increased exponentially with each additional seed he forged.
Previously, Lin Yuan could condense a Seed of Fiery Sun with a single breath, but now it took him ten breaths, or even a hundred, to accomplish the same feat.
"The next major threshold for the Seeds of Fiery Sun should be thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three seeds. I wonder what ability it will unlock," Lin Yuan speculated.
From the current situation, it appeared that three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Seeds of Fiery Sun could form a minor cycle.
On the other hand, thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three seeds would likely form a major cycle.
The condensation of the Seeds of Fiery Sun primarily tested one's comprehension. Each Seed of Fiery Sun was incredibly complex, and one had to thoroughly understand it before they could even attempt to condense it.
"However, the <Fiery Sun Divine Incarnation Technique> can only be cultivated in this source world," Lin Yuan thought.
His incarnation in the Chaotic Void had also tried to condense the Seeds of Fiery Sun, but the outcome was predictably unsuccessful.
It wasn't exactly a failure, as he had eventually condensed a Seed of Fiery Sun, but it was vastly different from the ones he was condensing at this moment, and it didn't augment his rule insights either.
"Is it because of the Fiery Sun Ancestor? Or is it that eternal sun?" Lin Yuan wondered as he looked up at the sun hanging in the firmament, its endless radiance and heat filling his thoughts.
The sun in this source world was not a star in the cosmic starry sky; the two were entirely different concepts. The eternal sun in the firmament was almost rule-like, omnipresent and impenetrable.
"Let's focus on condensing more Seeds of Fiery Sun for now," Lin Yuan decided, reining in his thoughts. Over the past few months, he had been simultaneously re-cultivating the martial path and condensing the Seeds of Fiery Sun, in addition to comprehending the unique rule fluctuations of this source world.
The rule fluctuations in this source world differed from those in the Chaotic Void, and reintegrating the martial path required some effort, but it wasn't a significant issue.
Main Universe.
Mystic Primeval Realm.
Lin Yuan sat with his legs crossed.
His internal universe, after over a hundred years of adjustments, had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The past few months in the source world equated to more than a hundred years in the main universe.
Internal Universe.
Vast and expansive, spanning over ten million light-years.
Currently, every inch of his internal universe bore the weight of extreme spatial-temporal pressure.
In the main universe, Eleventh Tier lives that had comprehended the time rules could freely manipulate the flow of time, achieving a state where a thousand or ten thousand years would pass in the outside world while only a moment would elapse for them.
It was akin to an alternative form of longevity.
But now?
Not only those who had comprehended the time rules, but even Eleventh Tier lives at the pinnacle of the Fifth Level of space-time fusion would have a miniscule impact on the flow of time, able to control only a few dozen times the temporal flow at most.
The same was true for space. In the main universe, Ninth Tier evolvers could easily occupy tens of thousands or even millions of spatial layers.
However, it wasn't so simple in Lin Yuan's internal universe. Ninth Tier lives were also known as multi-space lives, but the number of spatial layers they could occupy here was significantly reduced.
In simpler terms, the time and space in Lin Yuan's internal universe were currently extremely rigorous, even a little harsh.
"My current internal universe…"
Lin Yuan's consciousness avatar continuously observed.
Before he began altering the structure of his universe again, the scope of Lin Yuan's internal universe had already approached eight million light-years.
Compared to the current ten million light-years, the increase wasn't that significant, only about two to three percent.
However, in reality, the current internal universe was far superior to its previous iteration, having improved by hundreds or thousands of times in terms of foundation and other aspects.
A ten-million-light-year internal universe was like tofu compared to Lin Yuan's, which was akin to a diamond that would shatter with the slightest touch.
"You've barely scratched the surface. Once you completely refine the Jade Gourd and unlock the portion of the legacy left by the ancient master, your internal universe will undergo another metamorphosis. At that time, it will directly rival an internal universe at the Chaotic Realm," the red-clad girl said, unable to contain her excitement, as she sat with her legs crossed a short distance away.
"Rival an internal universe at the Chaotic Realm with just the basics?" Lin Yuan was astounded.
According to the red-clad girl, once he integrated all the cosmic structures contained within the runes into his internal universe, it would reach a level comparable to an internal universe at the Chaotic Realm.
And now, it would rival a Chaotic Realm internal universe with just the basics?
That was the internal universe of a Chaotic Honored One! Vast and boundless, it rivaled the innate universe birthed by the Chaotic Void.
"The greatness of the ancient master far surpasses your imagination," the red-clad girl boasted, finally regaining a bit of her confidence.
Altering the structure of one's internal universe was a time-consuming task, but Lin Yuan had accomplished over ninety percent of it in just a hundred years.
"Then how many lives can I save from the impending cosmic apocalypse?" Lin Yuan asked immediately.
During his chats with the red-clad girl over the past hundred years, he had also mentioned the impending doom of this universe, which would face an early apocalypse due to the battle between the two Chaos Grand Saints.
"About eight to nine out of ten."
The red-clad girl replied nonchalantly, "If you can cultivate the legacy left by the ancient master to a proficient level, you can completely ignore the backlash of this universe and bring as many lives out as you want."
If his internal universe could rival that of a Chaos Honored One, it would be on par with the main universe, and it could withstand the backlash of an equally powerful universe. Even if it couldn't be ignored, it would still be able to hold its own.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan's spirit trembled slightly, and he continued to alter the structure of his universe.
Source World.
Qing Fen Domain.
Dongyang Family.
Dongyang Meng sat cross-legged, attempting to condense the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun within his body.
This wasn't Dongyang Meng's first attempt, and each previous try had ended in failure. With ten Seeds of Fiery Sun, one could directly become a disciple of Qing Fen Hou without having to go through any competition.
Even though the Dongyang Family had schemed to eliminate their rival, Yu Yan of the Yu Family, having nine Seeds of Fiery Sun when becoming a disciple of Qing Fen Hou was still vastly different from having ten.
Hmmmm.
Dongyang Meng's fair forehead broke out in a sweat, indicating the immense pressure she was under as she tried to condense the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun.
An unknown amount of time passed.
Thin streams of scorching airflow merged into Dongyang Meng's body from all directions, and the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun slowly took shape, eventually stabilizing.
"Ten Seeds of Fiery Sun?"
"I finally condensed it?"
Dongyang Meng was bewildered. She didn't know how many times she had tried to condense the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun, and she couldn't believe that she had succeeded this time.
Dongyang Meng's heart was filled with unprecedented joy.
For someone under five hundred years old to condense ten Seeds of Fiery Sun meant unimaginable glory and status. It could easily create a first-rate family from scratch.
Soon.
News of Dongyang Meng's successful condensation of the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun reached the ears of the Dongyang Family Patriarch.
"What? Meng'er condensed the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun?" The Dongyang Family Patriarch couldn't believe it. For so many years, he, too, had longed for the Dongyang Family to produce a disciple with ten Seeds of Fiery Sun.
But it was just a longing. While there had been a few disciples in the Dongyang Family who had condensed nine Seeds of Fiery Sun before the age of five hundred, there had never been anyone with ten.
The difference between the ninth and tenth Seeds of Fiery Sun was a qualitative change, and the difficulty was incomparable.
"Good, good, good!"
The Dongyang Family Patriarch was overjoyed and quickly found Dongyang Meng. After confirming the news, he brought her to meet the elders of the Dongyang Family who had reached the Self-Dao Realm.
Although the Seeds of Fiery Sun were condensed within the body, outsiders couldn't sense them. Only through certain means bestowed by the Fiery Sun Ancient Country could they be verified.
Therefore, the Dongyang Family Patriarch could only rely on Dongyang Meng's word, and they didn't have the ability to verify it themselves.
"You've condensed the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun?"
The Self-Dao Realm elders of the Dongyang Family were ecstatic.
"Meng'er, you are our family's genius. You must not hide this matter at all, or everything will be revealed when the Qing Envoy arrives."
The Dongyang Family elder spoke seriously; this was no laughing matter.
"Elder, I have indeed condensed the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun." Dongyang Meng affirmed confidently.
The presence of ten Seeds of Fiery Sun floating within her body, bringing her a tremendous boost in rule insights, was undeniable.
The gap between ten Seeds of Fiery Sun and nine was even greater than the gap between nine Seeds and a single one.
"That's good."
A smile appeared on the face of the Dongyang Family elder. "Our Dongyang Family will soar to new heights because of you, Meng'er."
"If it weren't for the family's nurturing, there wouldn't be a Dongyang Meng today." Dongyang Meng said immediately, expressing her gratitude toward the family.
"Alright, now go and rest. The Qing Envoy will arrive in a few months. During this time, focus on stabilizing the ten Seeds of Fiery Sun."
The Dongyang Family elder spoke gently and encouragingly.
The Qing Envoy was an envoy under Qing Fen Hou, traveling throughout the Qing Fen Domain.
Both the Dongyang Family and the Yu Family wanted to become disciples of Qing Fen Hou, and it was the Qing Envoy who would make the decision, taking away only those who met the requirements.
"Yes."
Dongyang Meng nodded.
Although she had condensed the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun, she still needed time to stabilize it.
After Dongyang Meng left.
The Dongyang Family elders present exchanged glances, their faces relaxing into relieved smiles.
"The rise of my Dongyang Family is now certain."
The Dongyang Family elder's tone was invigorated. If Dongyang Meng, with nine Seeds of Fiery Sun, became a disciple of Qing Fen Hou, she could barely bring the Dongyang Family to the threshold of a first-rate family.
But now, with ten Seeds of Fiery Sun, Dongyang Meng could propel the Dongyang Family to the very pinnacle of first-rate families.
"Elder, what should we do now? Should we make it public that Meng'er has condensed the tenth Seed of Fiery Sun?" The Dongyang Family Patriarch was equally excited.
With the Dongyang Family becoming a first-rate family, his status as the patriarch would naturally rise as well.
"Make it public? Why would we do that?"
The Dongyang Family elder's eyes narrowed, and he asked a counterquestion.
"Not make it public?"
The Dongyang Family Patriarch paused for a moment before realizing the implication.
Indeed, no one in the Qing Fen Domain would dare to provoke a genius with ten Seeds of Fiery Sun.
But one could never be too careful.
There was no need for the Dongyang Family to take such a risk.
The Yu Family was right next door, and who knew what they might do if they found out about the Dongyang Family producing an incredibly talented disciple with ten Seeds of Fiery Sun? They might act desperately and do something extreme.
"Now, all we need to do is quietly wait for the arrival of the Qing Envoy."
"We don't need to do anything else."
The Dongyang Family elder was very cautious and didn't want any unexpected complications.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a year went by.
On this day, three figures quietly appeared outside the Dongyang Family.
The three figures consisted of one tall and two short individuals, their auras restrained. However, the time and space around them were subtly suppressed.
"In this area, I recall that the Dongyang Family and the Yu Family have produced two youngsters with decent talent, barely meeting the requirements to become disciples of the Marquis," said the shorter figure on the left, his gaze falling on the distant Dongyang Family.
