Chapter 571: The Secret of the Supreme Reason Sect
Chapter 571: The Secret of the Supreme Reason Sect
"Ugh... Ugh..."
The old man wanted to speak, to transmit his thoughts, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"What's the matter? You don't agree?" Qi Yuan asked.
The old man's face grew even more terrified.
"Oh, I forgot, you're still under the silence spell." Qi Yuan's eyes held a smile.
With a light touch of his hand, the restraints on the Yang Emperor Elder instantly vanished.
The Yang Emperor Elder hurriedly said, "I agree, I agree, Ten Thousand Sun Venerable. Qi Tan has offended you, he deserves to die!"
This Yang Emperor Elder from the Qi family had never met Qi Yuan before, but from the new name of the bazaar and Qi Yuan's awe-inspiring methods, who else could it be but the Ten Thousand Sun Venerable?
Beside them, Lotus Mei's pupils dilated.
"Ten Thousand Sun Venerable?"
Ten Thousand Sun Venerable!
This friend of Godless, was he the legendary Ten Thousand Sun Venerable who had destroyed the Grand Radiant Palace?
The Ten Thousand Sun Venerable was the most miraculous and legendary figure a hundred years ago.
A solitary figure who had destroyed the Ghost Tyrant Heaven, fought the Grand Radiant Palace alone, and with the descent of ten thousand suns... causing the Six Heavens of the Immortal World to tremble.
Who didn't know of this towering existence?
Lotus Mei had never imagined she would have the chance to meet such a figure.
Not only did she meet him, but she also spoke to him, and even... argued with him.
Just thinking about arguing with such a towering existence made her heart race and her chest tighten. She even felt that the dress she was wearing might not be modest enough.
The surrounding cultivators were initially bewildered, but then they realized something and lowered their heads, some even kneeling directly on the ground, their emotions stirred.
At that moment, Qi Yuan looked at the dead Qi Tan and suddenly waved his hand.
A special aura spread, and the dead Qi Tan was resurrected.
The resurrected Qi Tan still looked a bit dazed.
Wasn't he killed by that terrifying being?
Could it all have been an illusion? But when he raised his head and saw that familiar figure, along with the humble appearance of the old ancestor, his expression froze.
Not an illusion?
Just then, a calm voice entered his ears.
"Now you know... how to pretend, right?"
"I brought you back to life just to kill you again."
As his words fell, Qi Tan's body shattered again, dead beyond death.
He was resurrected in a daze, and then died in a daze.
The cultivators present only felt that the Ten Thousand Sun Venerable was a bit frightening.
Killing someone and then resurrecting them, only to kill them again.
This was too terrifying.
Only the Yang Emperor Elder had his heart stirred with awe.
Because he had seen that Qi Tan was truly dead, his true spirit shattered.
Even if a Venerable intervened, resurrection would be impossible.
How did his descendant... no, that troublemaker, come back to life? Could it be an illusion?
Only such a reason could explain it.
However, the fact that the Ten Thousand Sun Venerable used such a technique right before his eyes was awe-inspiring in itself.
"Indeed, killing and pretending are one of life's greatest pleasures."
After killing Qi Tan twice, Qi Yuan felt refreshed.
As for how Qi Tan was resurrected, it was naturally because Qi Yuan had marked him, consumed resources, and brought him back to life.
The Yang Emperor Elder from the Qi family lowered his head, not daring to speak.
Qi Yuan said, "The cultivation world has become too corrupt. You must keep a close eye on the Qi family disciples. In the future... if something like this happens again, it won't be as simple as killing just one person."
With a push of Qi Yuan's hand, the Yang Emperor Elder's body quickly vanished, returning to its original place.
At this moment, Qi Yuan turned to Godless, who was not far away, and said, "Didn't I promise to help you enter the Immortal Palace to find Radiant Light? Look... what is this?"
Qi Yuan stretched out his hand, and in an instant, a rhombic crystal appeared before everyone's eyes.
The Purple Mansion cultivators who saw this crystal had expressions of envy and jealousy.
A strand of radiant light was enough for them to fight among themselves.
This was the source of the radiant light.
If they obtained it, they might instantly surpass the Purple Mansion and step into the Yin Deity realm.
Nearby, Lotus Mei heard this and recalled Qi Yuan's earlier promise to help Godless enter the Immortal Palace to seek the radiant light. She had thought he was boasting, but now she realized that she was the real clown.
"Take it, no one dares to snatch it from you.
If someone dares, it's as if they don't give me face." Qi Yuan said.
The surrounding Purple Mansion cultivators didn't dare to have any thoughts of robbery.
This was a gift from the Venerable.
The symbolic meaning of this item far outweighed its actual value.
"Am I right, who dares to snatch it?" Qi Yuan said, scanning the Purple Mansion cultivators. His gaze fell on a bald, burly man, "Oh, you seem to be the most diligent in robbery here, and the bravest. Do you dare to snatch it?"
The bald man, questioned by a Venerable, felt like crying.
He felt like his ancestral graves were smoking, having spoken to a Venerable.
"I... I dare not." The bald man was terrified.
How could he dare?
The gap between the Purple Mansion and a Venerable was indescribable.
Regardless, whether he lived or died, from now on, he would be the most successful and famous person in his lineage.
"See, even the bravest robber here doesn't dare to rob you. Godless, you can keep it safely."
"Godless took a deep breath and thanked Qi Yuan sincerely."
Beside him, Lotus Mei's head felt heavy and drowsy.
This Ten Thousand Sun Venerable seemed a little peculiar.
To put it bluntly, he seemed a bit eccentric.
Qi Yuan waved his hand dismissively, his enthusiasm waning. "After all this time together, is there a need for such formalities between us?"
He had grown bored of dealing with these people.
Just then, a crisp voice rang out.
"The Supreme Reason Assembly's Red Fortune, by the Grand Lord's command, invites the Ten Thousand Sun Venerable to gather at the Supreme Reason Assembly."
Red Fortune stepped forward, his face filled with reverence.
Qi Yuan glanced at Red Fortune, his eyes calm. "There's no reason to decline an invitation from the Supreme Reason Assembly."
This Red Fortune had a purpose.
The invitation from the Supreme Reason Assembly, and the strength of their Grand Lord, meant that he could manifest an external incarnation at any time. There was no need for Red Fortune to deliver the message personally.
It seemed that he wanted to convey something through Red Fortune.
Their figures flashed, and Qi Yuan got straight to the point. "You have some information from outside the Immortal World, don't you?"
His eyes could perceive hidden details.
Red Fortune was surprised. "I come from the Nan Ke Universe."
"That name... it's a bit special," Qi Yuan said casually. "Does the Nan Ke Universe have a Dao Lord?"
"Yes," Red Fortune nodded earnestly.
"A Dao Lord..."
Qi Yuan's expression was unreadable.
The Dao Lord realm could be considered an alternate form of omniscience and omnipotence.
It seemed that the Nan Ke Universe had entered a cycle.
Qi Yuan held a deep reverence for the Dao Lord.
If he encountered a Fourth Layer Yang Emperor, he was confident in his ability to escape.
But if he faced a Fifth Layer Yang Emperor as an enemy, running away... that would be impossible.
Fortunately, the Dao Lord of the Immortal World had perished.
Otherwise, if the Dao Lord was a foul-mouthed, perverted, and thoroughly evil antagonist, how could Qi Yuan uphold the dignity of the cultivation world in the face of such an opponent?
Red Fortune seemed to sense something and spoke up, "The Nan Ke Universe... also has no future."
Qi Yuan blinked, his expression peculiar.
"The Nan Ke Universe... has no future?"
He found it odd.
He could understand the Immortal World having no future, but the Nan Ke Universe as well?
Perhaps something strange had occurred there.
"The specific reasons are beyond my knowledge," Red Fortune admitted.
"Both the Immortal World and the Nan Ke Universe... have no future," Qi Yuan's gaze remained calm, and he suddenly had a realization.
He felt a sudden exhaustion.
Thinking about these grand and abstract concepts was truly tiring.
It was much more satisfying to bully little weaklings like Qi Tan; it helped him relax.
"Ah, life is truly difficult," Qi Yuan sighed again, grabbing a juice box and chugging it.
[This chapter is perfectly transcribed from the original text, with no errors in the 1691-character version!]
Red Fortune was speechless and remained silent.
This Ten Thousand Sun Venerable was indeed... peculiar.
Soon, their figures appeared at the Supreme Reason Assembly.
The Grand Lord of the Supreme Reason Assembly manifested his true form—a dragon turtle.
Its turtle head, shell, and dragon body were intertwined, and divine radiance emanated from within.
On the turtle shell, there seemed to be a grand inscription of Supreme Reason, and its aura was both mysterious and vast.
"Ten Thousand Sun Venerable, it's been a century since we last met, and your cultivation has become even more profound," the Grand Lord spoke, his gaze fixed on Qi Yuan.
With his eyes, he could see through all things in the world, yet on Qi Yuan, he found no hidden information.
This Ten Thousand Sun Venerable was indeed enigmatic and powerful.
"You're quite strong yourself," Qi Yuan commented.
Although the Grand Lord was only at the Second Layer of the Yang Emperor, Qi Yuan could tell that if he were to encounter the Flame Domain Lord of Black Sky Black Ground, the outcome would be uncertain.
As the Immortal World's Six Heavens couldn't accommodate the Third Layer of the Yang Emperor, the Supreme Reason Assembly had forged an alternate path—the Supreme Principle—to enhance their Yang Emperor cultivation and follow a unique path.
"Ten Thousand Sun Venerable, is your opening of the Immortal Palace related to the Unique Palace?" the Grand Lord asked.
"I suppose so," Qi Yuan replied lazily, conserving his words.
"I see," the Grand Lord nodded in understanding. "Then, Ten Thousand Sun Venerable, you should know that our Immortal Dao's Dao Lord... has perished."
Mentioning this, the Grand Lord's expression became complex.
"With the Dao Lord's fall, the Immortal Dao is in peril... Who can take charge and lead the Immortal Dao?" the Grand Lord sighed.
The Dao Lord's demise was a significant blow to the Dao.
One could even say... it threatened its very existence.
"What brings you to me?" Qi Yuan had no interest in the Grand Lord's musings and asked directly.
"Ever since the Dao Lord's fall, the Supreme Reason Assembly has been contemplating the rebirth of the Immortal Dao.
Thus, the Supreme Principle path was born.
The Unique Palace's Phoenix Transformation and the construction of the Seventh Heaven are different from the Supreme Reason Assembly's path, but their goals are the same.
The Unique Palace has its Unique Palace, and the Supreme Reason Assembly... has the Unity Assembly," the Grand Lord said, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
"The Unity Assembly, at the same level as the Unique Palace's Fourth Layer Yang Emperor?" Qi Yuan was astonished.
As he grew stronger, he could perceive more and more.
The Grand Lord's expression turned awkward as he said, "The Unity Assembly is naturally far inferior to the Fourth Layer of the Yang Emperor, but it is a Domain Master Artifact."
"Oh," Qi Yuan responded with disinterest.
At his level, ordinary Domain Master Artifacts no longer captured his attention.
In the Black Heaven Black Abyss, he had shattered over ten thousand Domain Master Artifacts.
A mere Domain Master Artifact was indeed insignificant to him.
"Venerable Ten Thousand Suns, please do not underestimate this Unity Assembly. It was personally crafted by a disciple of the Immortal World Dao Lord, and it can connect to other universes, allowing communication with beings from different worlds!" The Supreme Lord of the Supreme Principle Assembly spoke proudly.
The Supreme Principle Path was created by the Supreme Principle Assembly through the Unity Assembly, exchanging insights with powerful beings from countless universes, and finally forging a path through collective wisdom.
"Can one leave the Immortal World?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.
"No, it's only for the exchange of True Spirits within the Unity Assembly," explained the Supreme Lord. "Entering the Unity Assembly offers immeasurable benefits. Not only can one experience the rules of various universes and different Great Daos, but it also accelerates cultivation and refines the True Spirit.
A Great Supreme Principle at the Second Layer of the Yang Emperor, if they spent ten thousand years within the Unity Assembly, would have a solidified True Spirit. Even when facing the end of the universe, they might still survive, and continue on when the universe is reopened."
As he spoke, the Grand Lord's face showed reverence.
It was common knowledge that when a cosmic epoch ended, all living beings would perish.
Only those at the Third Layer of the Yang Emperor and above were immune to the universe's end.
The mere refinement of the True Spirit was enough to captivate the hearts of all Yang Emperors in the Immortal World.
The Yang Emperor's lifespan was infinite, but when facing the end of the universe, even without reaching the Third Layer, death was certain.
"Even I, as the master of the Unity Assembly for 300 billion years, have only entered it once," the Dragon Turtle Grand Lord admitted.
An epoch was approximately 490 billion years.
The Dragon Turtle Grand Lord's lifespan exceeded three thousand billion years.
It could be said that in this epoch, the Immortal World had reached its late stages.
"Your talent is exceptional. In this epoch, I have yet to see anyone with talent surpassing yours.
Therefore, I intend to grant you the qualification to enter the Unity Assembly to enhance your strength.
But this gift does not come without a price. In the near future, you will need to represent the Immortal World and participate in the Ten Thousand Year Banquet within the Unity Assembly!"
Seeing Qi Yuan's silence, the Dragon Turtle Grand Lord continued, "In this multiverse, beyond the Immortal World, there are numerous universes.
During the time of the Immortal World Dao Lord, every so often, the young talents of the Immortal World would enter the Unity Assembly and attend the Ten Thousand Year Banquet, exchanging insights with powerful beings from various universes.
The rewards for these exchanges were abundant, but according to the records of the Supreme Principle Assembly, the Immortal World has not experienced such rich rewards for many epochs since the Dao Lord's demise.
I only hope that during the Ten Thousand Year Banquet, Venerable Ten Thousand Suns can bring back some opportunities.
Otherwise, when this epoch concludes, I fear... there won't be many in the Immortal World who can survive the cosmic catastrophe."
This was the intention of the Supreme Lord of the Supreme Principle Assembly.
Although he had lived for a long time, he had only comprehended one Supreme Principle. After experiencing the Unity Assembly, his strength had reached its limit, and naturally, he couldn't match the potential of a young man like Qi Yuan.
"Hmm," Qi Yuan contemplated.
To be honest, he was quite interested in this Unity Assembly.
After all, it offered the chance to meet aliens.
But... according to the Grand Lord, this Ten Thousand Year Banquet seemed like it would take a very long time.
As he was deep in thought, suddenly, a profound aura descended upon them.
"Senior Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
The Dragon Turtle Grand Lord was taken aback.
He hadn't expected the Second Lord of the Supreme Principle Assembly to seek him out at this moment.
He bowed to Qi Yuan as an apology, and his True Spirit disappeared at that moment, entering the lower realm of the Supreme Principle Assembly.
"Junior Brother, what brings you here?" asked the Grand Lord.
Currently, he was receiving guests, and the Second Lord wouldn't disturb him without a good reason.
"Senior Brother, could it be that you intend to bestow the gift of the Unity Assembly upon Venerable Ten Thousand Suns?" the Second Lord inquired.
The Grand Lord, upon hearing this, pondered, "Junior Brother, I know you desire to enter the Unity Assembly, but your talent is insufficient.
In the current Six Heavens of the Immortal World, the qualifications of previous Great Suns were shallow for entry into the Unity Assembly. Besides Venerable Ten Thousand Suns, there is no other opportunity.
This epoch has less than three hundred million years remaining. If we don't strive now, we may not survive this epoch."
The Grand Lord earnestly advised.
"Senior Brother, it's not that I'm greedy, but I have a better candidate," the Second Lord said.
"Oh? Who? Could it be the Black Sword of the Black Demon Abyss?" the Grand Lord asked casually.
"No, it's the Celestial Summit!" the Second Lord revealed.
"The Celestial Summit's talent is just a hair's breadth better than yours, and even inferior to the Great Sun. How could they be qualified to enter the Unity Assembly?" The Grand Lord asked, his face filled with curiosity.
The Second Lord wouldn't have sought him out without a good reason.
"The Celestial Summit obtained a Deviant Dao Fruit in the Immortal Palace, and it is highly compatible with him. Once he completely refines it, he answer is: "The Celestial Summit's talent, compared to yours, is only slightly better, and even inferior to the Great Sun. How can they be qualified to enter the Unity Assembly?" The Second Lord spoke with a self-assured expression.
