Chapter 593: My Dao Lord Friend

Chapter 593: My Dao Lord Friend

After approximately 7749 days, the Dao Lord Assembly came to an end.

All the Dao Lords gradually departed, and Qi Yuan was no exception.

However, just before he left, a Dao Lord called out to Qi Yuan.

"Young friend, please wait."

"Old man, what do you want?" Qi Yuan turned to the Dao Lord with an ordinary appearance.

This Dao Lord was none other than Soutao Daozhu.

His face, if lost in a crowd, would be unremarkable and easily overlooked, devoid of any presence.

"Young friend, your talent is unparalleled in my eyes. Perhaps you look down on the Dao Lord Realm and choose True Spirit Rebirth."

Soutao Daozhu spoke with a solemn expression, "I want to say that the waters of True Spirit Rebirth run deep."

"I don't know how many years I've lived, but I've seen too many true prodigies. They get stuck at the Realm Lord Realm and are unwilling to break through, ultimately choosing True Spirit Rebirth."

Soutao Daozhu continued, his face filled with reminiscence.

"There are over seventeen thousand two hundred Realm Lords I know of who have chosen True Spirit Rebirth. Many of them have extremely high talent, some choosing it voluntarily and others following the instructions of Dao Lords."

These Realm Lords, some with the potential to master a Dao and reach the Dao Lord Realm, had chosen True Spirit Rebirth.

However, becoming a Dao Lord meant entering a cycle, so they preferred True Spirit Rebirth.

"So many Realm Lords have chosen True Spirit Rebirth, and even a double-digit number of Dao Lords, but... not a single one has returned." Qi Yuan's eyes showed curiosity as he asked.

Soutao Daozhu had come specifically to inform Qi Yuan, fearing that Qi Yuan, like those talented Realm Lords, would look down on the Dao Lord Realm and eventually choose True Spirit Rebirth.

"Who taught you the method of True Spirit Rebirth?"

"All those who achieve Dao are nearly omnipotent, and the method of True Spirit Rebirth is one of their abilities." Soutao Daozhu replied.

Qi Yuan's gaze remained calm upon hearing this.

Upon achieving Dao, one would become nearly omnipotent and gain access to a wealth of information, including the method of True Spirit Rebirth.

"The path ahead after True Spirit Rebirth is uncertain, young friend. Despite your overflowing talent, you've already transcended. Please wait a little longer for the outcome." Soutao Daozhu spoke sincerely.

His words were genuine, as he had thought the same in the past.

He was waiting for the results of other Realm Lords' True Spirit Rebirth is a gamble, but it's a gamble worth taking. I believe in you, Qi Yuan."

However, he couldn't wait any longer.

The universe had restarted countless times, and he had witnessed the same people and storylines repeating day after day.

Now, he finally felt a bit weary and restless.

"Alright, rest assured. I won't use the method of True Spirit Rebirth until I break through to the Solar Deity Realm." Qi Yuan replied earnestly.

He would never choose True Spirit Rebirth; he had a game jade slip that could take him to other worlds.

His opportunity to break through to the Solar Deity Realm awaited him in the next world.

Currently, he was still at the Yin Deity Realm, with a combat power approaching the fourth and fifth layers of the Solar Deity Realm. It was hard to imagine how powerful he would become after breaking through.

He wondered if he could defeat the all-knowing and all-powerful Dao Lord.

"This time, I don't know what lies ahead after True Spirit Rebirth..." Soutao Daozhu, with his unremarkable face, smiled, "The heavens remain unchanged, and the years cycle on. One day, we'll meet again, young friend, and share a drink."

After so many years of being cautious, Soutao Daozhu was finally ready to take a risk and break through his limits.

"You drink wine, and I'll have juice?" Qi Yuan replied.

He had never smoked or drank alcohol.

Soutao Daozhu was momentarily taken aback but then smiled, "Sure."

As his voice trailed off, Soutao Daozhu's figure dissipated in the Ethereal Realm.

In the blink of an eye, another twelve years passed.

During this time, many events unfolded.

Qi Yuan had collected cultivation techniques from various universes, amassing an extensive collection.

It could be said that what Qi Yuan lacked the least at this point was cultivation techniques.

He had mastered various grand paths, systems, and secret arts.

Currently, these cultivation techniques were likely sufficient to revise the Qi Yuan Scripture up to the Solar Deity Realm.

Of course, it was enough, but a general framework was still missing.

Regarding the Solar Deity Realm, Qi Yuan hadn't yet decided on the approach to take.

During these twelve years, it seemed that Qi Yuan's luck was good, as the Baixuan Palace Master suddenly died under mysterious circumstances.

It was likely that a new Baixuan Palace Master would only emerge in the next epoch.

There was also another interesting event.

A hidden Great Ultimate Principle, with grand ambitions, had allied with the Bi Luo Realm Lord and urged him to take action against Ziyuantian and Qi Yuan to unify the Immortal World.

Upon hearing this, the Bi Luo Realm Lord's face turned pale, and he immediately captured this Great Ultimate Principle and sent him to Ziyuantian to apologize.

At the same time, he feared the same thing would happen, so he deliberately spoke at the entrance of the Zi Yuan Tianmen, stating that Qi Yuan was the strongest in the world, with a realm and strength far surpassing his own.

At that moment, when this news spread, the Immortal World was in an uproar.

Among them, no one was happier than Zi Yuan Xiao Lu.

Upon receiving this news, she made a banner that read, "Blood Robed Senior Brother is stronger than Black Sword, the First in the Immortal World," and hung it outside An Xun Lu's cave abode, parading around every day.

In the past, when Qi Yuan annihilated Tai Huang Palace, she had done this once.

However, An Xun Lu was stubborn and said that although Black Sword was currently weaker than Qi Yuan, he might become the first in the Immortal World in the future.

Now, Blood Robed Senior Brother had even suppressed Bi Luo, the Realm Lord, and his strength was evident.

So, she came to show off again, looking for opportunities to argue with An Xun Lu.

Of course, these were all minor matters.

For Qi Yuan, what was worth mentioning was something else.

"I never thought... that the stars in this universe have all been devoured by my Golden Core."

With his strength increasing, Qi Yuan's Golden Core devoured stars at an ever-accelerating rate.

In the end, he condensed an infinite number of Stellar Golden Cores.

The aura of the Golden Cores within his body was particularly terrifying.

It could even be said that if Qi Yuan wished, his Golden Cores could enter the Fourth Layer of the Solar Deity, existing in both the past and the future.

"This universe is still expanding, and stars are likely to continue appearing one after another, which also means... my Stellar Golden Cores have not yet reached their limit."

Over the years, Qi Yuan had also discovered the unique aspects of this universe.

This universe was very similar to the one of Blue Star, constantly expanding at a rate far exceeding the speed of light.

As for the Immortal World, the Heavy Yuan Universe, and the other universes where the Dao Lords resided, or the ones accessible through the Universe Void Realm, these universes, except for the newly born ones still expanding, all had a fixed size.

They had a definite size, vast but not infinite.

"Who created the Solar Deity Realm...?" Qi Yuan suddenly wondered, feeling perplexed.

"Forget it, I can't think of it, so I won't bother."

Qi Yuan thought to himself.

Just then, a silver-white fluid-shaped spaceship flew past him.

"After the acceleration of time flow... I didn't expect civilization to develop so quickly, and spaceships have emerged."

Qi Yuan transformed his Divine Infant into a deity, taking care of the sentient beings he had created when opening the heavens.

At the same time, he also used his divine abilities to accelerate the flow of time in these places.

Occasionally, he would also scatter seeds of civilization, including seeds of the Immortal Dao.

He achieved great success.

Now, there were countless sentient beings in this universe.

Some Immortal Dao civilizations also developed well, and even Yin Deities, these majestic existences, had appeared.

Some planets were also quite peculiar, following unique paths to transcendence.

A transcendence that even Qi Yuan had never seen before, though weak, seemed to have a promising future.

Of course, most sentient beings were still confined to their planets, living in primitive or agricultural societies.

"Am I the creator god and true creator of this universe?" Qi Yuan wondered.

Looking at his Stellar Golden Cores, deep in thought, his figure flickered, and he disappeared once again.

This time, he reappeared at the Shen Guang Zong.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Senior Brother, you're back?"

"These are cultivation methods from the Infinite Transformation Society for you, along with some peculiar items."

Jiang Ling Su carried a pile of storage bags, walking with a wobble, seemingly struggling under their weight.

But this was the advantage of having large breasts; she could carry them easily.

If it were Jin Si Que, she would probably need to use Daoist techniques to manage.

"Good." Qi Yuan took the storage bags, and an immense amount of information flooded into his mind.

His collection of cultivation methods had increased significantly.

Regardless, more cultivation methods were always welcome.

As for the peculiar items, they were special objects that even Realm Lords couldn't see through.

Most of them, however, could be understood with a single glance by a Dao Lord.

"Senior Brother, in a few days, it's the Fish Cloud Assembly. Many people will come to Da Shang. Senior Brother, if you have time, why not call Jin Li Sister, Ning Tao Sister, and Jin Si Que Sister to go and take a look?"

Jiang Ling Su spoke, her eyes full of anticipation.

Although in the past decade, she had spent a lot of time with Senior Brother, often discussing cultivation methods and seeking his guidance on cultivation matters, Senior Brother was indeed very busy, always occupied with endless tasks.

She had known Senior Brother for less than two hundred years, and as a cultivator, she was still in the honeymoon phase, wishing to be with him every day, to put it crudely, to be 'pounded' daily.

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, about to reply, when suddenly, he received a message: "I'm going to the Unique Palace for a while. If I return in time, I'll join you at the Fish Cloud Assembly."

After saying this, Qi Yuan's figure disappeared once again.

...

In the seventh heaven of the Immortal World, space was unstable, filled with chaotic void currents.

In such a place, sentient beings could not survive.

Even for cultivators at the first and second layers of the Solar Deity Realm, survival here is challenging.

At this moment, within the Unique Palace, several figures gathered.

The Sword Guardian, Wuming, had a cold demeanor, exuding a menacing aura that warned others to stay away.

The others were either in a daze or possessed extraordinary auras.

"I heard that another Bright Monarch's decree has been issued. Doesn't that mean... we have another competitor?" asked a woman with loose hair, her voice carrying a strange tone.

"What's the background of this newcomer?"

"Tu Ri, this newcomer seems to have some connection with you. Initially, when you slashed out your evil thoughts and condensed the Grand Sun, this Grand Sun seemed to have died at his hands," an old man said, looking at Tu Ri with a hint of schadenfreude.

Behind Tu Ri stood Tai Ri, quietly listening. Hearing this news, he was somewhat astonished.

Ever since Tai Huang Palace was conquered by Qi Yuan, he had been forced to flee to the Unique Palace.

Later, he almost got devoured by an Aberrant Spirit in the Unique Palace.

Unexpectedly, he was saved by Tu Ri's gaze.

Tu Ri took him as a disciple, and it was then that he learned that the Grand Sun was actually a Realm Lord.

The gap between a Realm Lord and a Grand Sun was significant.

Tai Ri never expected that Qi Yuan, the Ten Day Supreme who had conquered Tai Huang Palace, could also obtain a Bright Monarch's decree.

This implied that Qi Yuan had advanced to the second layer of the Solar Deity Realm, reaching the Realm Lord realm.

In just a hundred years, such terrifying progress.

Tu Ri coldly snorted, "Hmph, the Grand Sun was my evil thought. If not for me being asleep, I would have personally slaughtered him. This junior helped me kill the Grand Sun, and I haven't even had time to thank him."

Through his disciple, Tu Ri learned some information about Qi Yuan. He was also surprised, never expecting that after such a long slumber, another Heaven's Pride would appear in the Immortal World, capable of breaking through to the third layer of the Solar Deity Realm at the Sixth Heaven.

Evidently, Qi Yuan's talent was exceptional.

However, no matter how high one's talent, if the cultivation time is short, it's impossible to compare with those who have cultivated for longer.

The other old monsters shared Tu Ri's thoughts, not taking Qi Yuan, the new Realm Lord, too seriously.

Their competitors were each other.

Qi Yuan had just advanced to the Realm Lord realm, and his foundation was still unstable. It would be challenging for him to pass the Bright Monarch's test, obtain the Bright Monarch's transformed treasure, and then seal the Dao Lord's Dao Fruit in the Immortal World.

Although Bi Luo Realm Lord acknowledged that Qi Yuan was far stronger than him, for the Realm Lords present, Bi Luo was too weak.

"You're all here?" At this moment, Qi Yuan's figure appeared, his expression calm.

Tai Ri's gaze slightly froze when he saw Qi Yuan.

It was indeed him.

He sighed inwardly.

Initially, at the Primordial Assembly, Qi Yuan was radiant, only slightly inferior to Qi Yuan. But he was confident that he could surpass Qi Yuan.

Yet now, he hadn't even reached the Grand Sun, while Qi Yuan had already become a Realm Lord. The gap between them had become so vast.

The others also focused their attention on Qi Yuan.

The old man who had previously taken pleasure in others' misfortune spoke with a sinister tone, "This Dao friend has arrived a bit late."

"Oh, some friends of mine gave me some cultivation techniques. I was reading them on the way here, but I got so absorbed that I ended up being late. My apologies," Qi Yuan sincerely apologized.

This was the truth.

One of the cultivation techniques was called 'The Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture,' which could enhance one's cultivation with minimal drawbacks.

On his way here, Qi Yuan was thinking about whether he should try this technique with his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su, to improve her cultivation.

"At your level, are there still friends who can provide cultivation techniques that satisfy you?" Tu Ri asked curiously.

The gap between the third and second layers of the Solar Deity Realm was immense.

In his opinion, the cultivation techniques in the Immortal World were all crude and simplistic.

"Yes, not just one," Qi Yuan replied honestly.

The six Realm Lords present all fell silent.

The old man who had taken pleasure in others' misfortune had a fleeting look of disdain in his eyes.

Indeed, this new Realm Lord's foundation was weak, and he treated the Immortal World's techniques as treasures.

Qi Yuan didn't miss the disdain in the old man's eyes.

"Your gaze, is it directed at me, or are you looking down on my friends' cultivation techniques?" Qi Yuan asked directly.

The old man's face stiffened.

He never expected his subtle disdain to be noticed.

The other party was also a Realm Lord, so he didn't want to offend him too much, but he still had his pride, so he said, "I look down on... your friends."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, I didn't expect my Dao Lord friends to have so little face."

Upon hearing the words 'Dao Lord,' the Realm Lords present all had subtle changes in their expressions, but none took it seriously.

Dao Lord friends?

Impossible.

They must be joking.

After all, such existences rarely had friends, and if they did, they would likely be of the same cultivation level.

"Hey, Witchcraft Dao Master, this person looks down on you. What do you think?" Qi Yuan said softly.

Within the Unique Palace, a profound and unfathomable aura emerged.

A single 'Witch' character appeared.

The Realm Lords present were all shocked and terrified by this aura.

Such an aura...

At that moment, the 'Witch' character turned towards the sinister old man.

The old man instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

This feeling... how many years had it been since he last experienced it?
