Chapter 617: The Arrival of the Supreme Sage
Chapter 617: The Arrival of the Supreme Sage
"So many treasures."
Lin Yuan looked around.
In the grand hall, various treasures floated in the air. These treasures ranged from rare items to powerful weapons.
Each treasure was surrounded by the power of space and time, suppressing their innate fluctuations. Otherwise, the strange energies emanating from these treasures would have already soared into the sky.
"Even a Supreme sage couldn't possibly have so many treasures," Lin Yuan mused. Each treasure in the hall was no less powerful than the Heart of the Dark Sky, all of them being treasures of the supreme sage level.
"Of course."
The spirit of the mausoleum was quite proud. "How can His Majesty be compared to those supreme sages? With His Majesty's strength, he has explored countless ruins and dangerous places in the chaotic void, naturally reaping many rewards."
"Indeed."
Lin Yuan nodded.
The chaotic void was filled with many ruins, the most famous being the Taiyuan Ruins and eight other major ruins. These nine ruins all had some connection to the Thirteenth Rank Time Beings. When Lin Yuan was still in his home universe, the 'white paper' that could reduce dimensions came from the depths of the Taiyuan Ruins.
These ruins were filled with numerous dangers but also offered countless opportunities. If one had sufficient strength, exploring these ruins would naturally yield great rewards.
"These treasures include thirty-three weapons and sixty-two rare items of the supreme sage level."
The spirit of the mausoleum continued, "If His Majesty hadn't bestowed a large portion of these treasures to his followers before his assault on the Thirteenth Rank, there would be even more now."
Although Emperor Xuan decided to advance to the Thirteenth Rank in a hurry, he still made many preparations. To establish the Xuanhuang Realm, Emperor Xuan had intense conflicts with many supreme sages.
While Emperor Xuan was still around, these supreme sages naturally dared not make any moves. However, if Emperor Xuan were to advance to the Thirteenth Rank and remain trapped in the time loop for a long time, the supreme sages who had grudges against him would definitely take action to settle scores with the Xuanhuang lineage.
Therefore, before his assault on the Thirteenth Rank, Emperor Xuan had already dispersed many of his disciples and followers from the Xuanhuang lineage.
"Indeed."
Lin Yuan's gaze swept over each treasure in the hall, eventually landing on the highest platform. There, three weapons were placed: a small seal the size of a fist, a golden battle armor, and a golden sword.
These three weapons gave Lin Yuan a different feeling compared to the others, a faint sense of familiarity.
"These are the Xuanhuang Seal, Xuanhuang Armor, and Xuanhuang Sword. They are His Majesty's life-bound weapons and the most powerful among all the weapons."
The spirit of the mausoleum said, "Naturally, they are yours as well."
Lin Yuan had already learned from the spirit of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm that these were Emperor Xuan's main weapons.
The Xuanhuang Seal was a suppression-type weapon. In Emperor Xuan's hands, a single seal could cover the sky, and no supreme sage dared to face it head-on.
The Xuanhuang Armor provided both physical and soul defense, as well as mental will defense, making it the ultimate all-around defensive weapon.
As for the Xuanhuang Sword, it was an ultimate offensive weapon. In Emperor Xuan's hands, the Xuanhuang Sword had once destroyed the physical bodies and souls of more than one supreme sage.
Of course, destroying a supreme sage's physical body and soul did not mean they were completely killed, but it at least left them severely injured.
"I'll take these treasures in case His Majesty breaks free from the time loop in the future," Lin Yuan said hesitantly.
The other treasures were fine, but the Xuanhuang Seal, Xuanhuang Armor, and Xuanhuang Sword were Emperor Xuan's life-bound weapons, similar to Lin Yuan's Origin Bell.
What were life-bound weapons? They were connected to one's life, akin to a closest relative.
"After more than thirty million cosmic eras, His Majesty breaking free from the time loop..."
The spirit of the mausoleum shook its head.
Breaking free from the time loop, the earlier the better. After more than a hundred cosmic eras, the hope would significantly decrease. After more than a thousand cosmic eras, there would be almost no hope. And after more than thirty million cosmic eras?
"Besides, if His Majesty really breaks free from the time loop, he would be a Time Being. Would he still care about these treasures?" the spirit of the mausoleum said.
"True."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Indeed, if Emperor Xuan were to break free from the time loop in the future, as a Thirteenth Rank Time Being, he would likely not value these treasures.
"Then I won't be polite."
Lin Yuan immediately gathered all the treasures in the hall. The spirit of the mausoleum watched silently, not stopping him.
In the end.
The spirit of the mausoleum hesitated for a moment before speaking: "As for the supreme treasure that His Majesty left behind, suppressed by the time loop..."
The spirit of the mausoleum extended its hand, and a Xuanhuang-colored bead appeared.
"Is this the supreme treasure?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned serious. He speculated that the supreme treasure Emperor Xuan obtained last was likely related to the Thirteenth Rank Time Beings, otherwise, it wouldn't have required the power of the time loop to suppress it.
"No."
The spirit of the mausoleum shook its head.
"No?"
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. The Xuanhuang-colored bead wasn't the supreme treasure? Then why did the spirit of the mausoleum specifically bring it out?
"But if you crush this bead, you will obtain the supreme treasure." The spirit of the mausoleum remained silent for a long time before speaking.
This was the command Emperor Xuan gave him before his assault on the Thirteenth Rank, as a 'spirit' created by Emperor Xuan.
The spirit of the mausoleum could not disobey any command from the Sovereign of the Profound.
"Crush it, and you can obtain that supreme treasure?"
Lin Yuan was quite curious, carefully examining the yellowish-brown bead.
He faintly sensed that the bead was permeated with the power of time, but it was extremely weak.
"That's correct."
The spirit of the mausoleum nodded, then added, "However, I hope you don't crush it just yet."
"That supreme treasure is of great importance. The Sovereign had to advance to the Thirteenth Rank and use the temporal cycle of his arrival to temporarily suppress it. If you crush it prematurely, there might be danger."
The spirit of the mausoleum looked at Lin Yuan, "And personally, I mean personally, I don't want you to crush it just yet."
The Sovereign had left the order for the bead to be crushed immediately after the successor arrived and inherited everything.
But the spirit of the mausoleum knew what this meant and instinctively did not want to do it.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded.
He could tell that the spirit of the mausoleum was reluctant to have the bead crushed.
Although he didn't know the reason, Lin Yuan had no intention of opposing it. His journey through the Xuanhuang Universe had already yielded more than enough rewards.
The numerous treasures and rarities outside the mausoleum, and the many treasures and weapons inside, even the Sovereign's own primary battle weapon, were all in his possession.
Lin Yuan was already quite satisfied.
As for that supreme treasure obtained by the Sovereign?
If it could force the Sovereign to prematurely advance to the Thirteenth Rank, it must have a significant origin. Even if the spirit of the mausoleum urged him to crush the bead now, Lin Yuan would still carefully consider it and most likely not choose to crush it.
Even if he were to crush it, he would wait until he reached the Chaos Realm or even perfected the Chaos Realm before doing so.
With Lin Yuan's foundation, once he perfected the Chaos Realm, he would not necessarily reach the level of an invincible Grand Sage, but after accumulating for a while, he would become the most powerful invincible Grand Sage in the history of the Chaos Void.
"Alright, this mausoleum is also a weapon. You can refine it now," the spirit of the mausoleum said, "Once you finish refining it, leave the Xuanhuang Universe quickly."
"Leave the Xuanhuang Universe?"
Lin Yuan faintly sensed that since the mausoleum had manifested, the deeper layers of the Xuanhuang Universe's spacetime had begun to collapse at an accelerated rate.
"Alright."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Meanwhile, outside the Xuanhuang Universe.
The Chaos Venerables had not left.
Although they dared not enter, they still wanted to wait a bit longer outside.
To see when that mysterious Galactic Grand Sage would emerge.
Suddenly, a mysterious aura began to spread silently from a distant spacetime.
This aura made the Great Dao rules of the Chaos Void retreat and form a new set of rules different from those of the Chaos Void.
"What?"
"What's happening?"
"I can't sense the external rule fluctuations?"
"Why is there a new set of rule fluctuations?"
"A supreme Grand Sage is coming, creating a new void with a single thought."
The expressions of the numerous Chaos Venerables changed drastically. A supreme Grand Sage could form a unique rule domain where they could create rules favorable to themselves.
For instance, if a supreme Grand Sage's rule in the domain world prohibits void traversal, then it cannot be done within that domain.
Of course, the supreme Grand Sage must also abide by the rules they set. If enemies cannot traverse the void, the supreme Grand Sage themselves cannot either.
Despite these limitations, this ability to reverse the rules gave supreme Grand Sages an advantage over Chaos Grand Sages.
"Hmm?"
"Is it them?"
In the distorted spacetime in the distance, the Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas and other special existences also sensed something and looked toward the distant spacetime.
"Weren't they always in a deep slumber?"
"That's right, I remember they had a grudge with the Sovereign."
"Thirty million cosmic epochs have passed, and they're still thinking of revenge?"
The broken longsword spoke, its tone somewhat surprised.
Most supreme Grand Sages, and even Chaos Grand Sages, would eventually choose to advance to the Thirteenth Rank.
But a few supreme Grand Sages chose not to do so and instead spent cosmic epochs in slumber.
"Instead of advancing to the Thirteenth Rank, they chose revenge?"
The Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas also gazed into the distance.
In the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.
In the Star Tear Fragment World.
Lin Yuan's Yin Primordial Spirit sat cross-legged.
At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
"The Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion is looking for me?"
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and the Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion, who had been waiting outside, appeared before him.
"Galaxy."
The Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion suddenly opened a third eye in the center of his brow, with a pale golden pupil that exuded a sense of supreme authority.
"Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas."
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly solemn as he immediately realized that the Master of the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion had been possessed by the Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas. The one before him now was the Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas.
"What do you want?"
Lin Yuan asked solemnly.
For the Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas to personally visit, something significant must have occurred.
"Are you still in the Xuanhuang Universe?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Leave quickly."
The Law of Ten Thousand Dharmas looked at Lin Yuan.
"Two supreme Grand Sages are on their way."
