Chapter 623: Long Slumber
Chapter 623: Long Slumber
"Is this the supreme treasure?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed.
Within the hazy glow, a small cauldron the size of a palm could be faintly seen.
From the spirit of the mausoleum, lin yuan learned that the Dark Emperor had obtained a supreme treasure from the gap between dimensions, which led him to decide to advance to the Thirteenth Tier prematurely.
At the time, lin yuan thought this supreme treasure might be of a value close to the Thirteenth Tier.
However, the Dark Emperor's concern was that if he lingered too long, the information about the supreme treasure might leak, attracting the attention of Thirteenth Tier beings.
Merely a treasure close to the Thirteenth Tier would not attract the attention of Thirteenth-tier beings.
To attract the attention of Thirteenth Tier beings, it would have to be a Thirteenth-tier treasure.
"Indeed, this supreme treasure is a Thirteenth Tier weapon," the towering and mighty man said.
"A Thirteenth Tier weapon?"
Lin Yuan took a deep breath. The small cauldron within the hazy glow in the Dark Emperor's hand suddenly became unfathomably profound.
"That dimensional gap should have been a battlefield where two Thirteenth Tier beings clashed. This supreme treasure is likely a remnant from one of them. I can sense that the owner of this supreme treasure is still alive; they just forgot to retrieve it."
The Dark Emperor spoke solemnly.
Just like how he, the Dark Emperor, and a peer of the same tier might leave behind a common Great Sage-tier treasure, temporarily forgetting to retrieve it.
Thirteenth Tier beings are also known as Time Beings, and their concept of time differs from the Twelfth Tier.
For example, a billion cosmic ages for the Twelfth Tier might be just a few breaths for a Thirteenth Tier Time Being.
Of course, the Thirteenth Tier being might have forgotten this weapon, but if the weapon actively calls out to the Thirteenth Tier being, reminding them, they would likely reclaim it.
This is why the Dark Emperor immediately advanced to the Thirteenth Tier, using the power of the time loop to suppress this treasure.
Only by doing so could he prevent this supreme treasure from calling its owner.
If the weapon's owner were to become aware afterward, and if the Dark Emperor failed to reach the Thirteenth Tier, the supreme treasure would be trapped within the time loop. For a Thirteenth Tier being to reclaim it, they would have to break the time loop, helping the Dark Emperor escape.
Of course, even for a Thirteenth Tier being, breaking the time loop would come at a great cost.
Therefore, the Dark Emperor's action of suppressing this Thirteenth Tier weapon posed no significant risk.
"Carry this supreme treasure into the time loop, and you can slightly break the restrictions within the time loop, raising your starting point a bit," the Dark Emperor said.
"Break the restrictions within the time loop slightly?" Lin Yuan's eyes widened in amazement, no wonder the Dark Emperor risked everything to advance to the Thirteenth Tier prematurely.
Moreover, the Dark Emperor could so easily break free from the time loop, likely due to the power of this supreme treasure.
"Here."
The Dark Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and gently tossed the hazy glow in his hand.
Lin Yuan subconsciously caught the small cauldron covered in the hazy glow, which landed in his hand.
"Very light."
Lin Yuan felt no weight at all, as if holding a clump of air.
"Currently, this supreme treasure has been sealed with the power of the time loop for over thirty million cosmic ages. Even outside the time loop, the seal of time power can last for a hundred cosmic ages."
The Dark Emperor looked at Lin Yuan, "In other words, within a hundred cosmic ages, this supreme treasure will not call out to its owner. Once it passes a hundred cosmic ages, there's no guarantee."
"At that time, if you reach the peak of the Chaotic Realm, you should try to advance to the Thirteenth Tier. If you haven't reached the peak of the Chaotic Realm—"
The Dark Emperor pondered for a moment, "But with your talent and potential, you should have a good chance of reaching the peak of the Chaotic Realm within a hundred cosmic ages."
"I will do my best."
Lin Yuan nodded earnestly.
"Also, if you encounter danger in the future, are about to fall, or if this supreme treasure is about to be taken away, you can choose to activate this supreme treasure," the Dark Emperor said.
"This supreme treasure is a Thirteenth Tier weapon. With your current strength, even if you fully activate it, it won't unleash much power, but even a hint of its power would be enough to easily obliterate any being at the peak of the Chaotic Realm."
The Dark Emperor continued, "But doing so will inevitably attract the attention of the treasure's owner, and they will likely reclaim it."
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
So, unless absolutely necessary, the Dark Emperor does not recommend Lin Yuan to do this.
Of course, if it comes to the worst-case scenario, not activating the supreme treasure would also result in it being taken by other powerful beings. In such a situation, Lin Yuan would naturally choose to activate it without hesitation.
"Additionally, you can use this supreme treasure for enlightenment. It can provide more insight than the time bloodlines of those half-baked supreme beings."
The Dark Emperor smiled slightly.
Lin Yuan nodded.
A Thirteenth Tier weapon, personally forged by a Thirteenth Tier being, contains intricate time secrets far beyond the time bloodlines of those half-baked supreme beings.
"Alright."
"Now, do you have any more questions?"
The Dark Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and smiled.
"No."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
The Dark Emperor had explained everything clearly enough.
Through the experiences of this invincible Great Sage, Lin Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the time loop.
The time loop not only presents challenges one has never faced but also confronts one's deepest weaknesses and obsessions.
"This Dark Yellow Universe was created by me. If I were to completely perish, it would also vanish, unable to be left behind for you."
The Dark Emperor's right hand moved, and numerous treasures and rarities within the universe gathered to his hand, "But these treasures and rarities, I have left for you."
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Lin Yuan said earnestly.
Due to the sudden arrival of Great Sage Hunxiao and Great Sage Yulin, Lin Yuan had to recall his numerous avatars from exploring the universe and return. Now, with the proactive intervention of Emperor Xuan, Lin Yuan has saved a significant amount of time.
“No need to thank me. After all, you are my successor, and it’s better than leaving it to outsiders.”
Emperor Xuan smiled slightly and then stood up. “Since you have no more questions, I should go out and take a look.”
“Go out and take a look?”
Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.
“To visit old friends and prepare some things for you.”
Emperor Xuan took a step and disappeared before Lin Yuan’s eyes.
“Old friends?”
Lin Yuan’s expression turned serious. Those who could be called old friends by Emperor Xuan must be ancient and supreme sages, with lifespans of at least thirty million cosmic ages.
Outside the Xuanhuang Universe.
The mighty and imposing man reappeared.
Rumbling.
The entire chaotic void suddenly resonated, the great laws and rules retreated, and time and space began to reverse. The mighty and imposing man took another step, and his figure vanished.
The Sea of Life.
This place is a mysterious region within the chaotic void, and even supreme sages find it difficult to enter without specific timing. It ranks alongside other mysterious places like the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool and the Myriad Tribulations Origin Mountain.
Rushing.
The Sea of Life stirred up waves, and a powerful life energy surged, with occasional life essence stones falling.
Right at this moment.
The space-time of this mysterious place was torn open, and a mighty and imposing man walked in.
In an instant.
The entire Sea of Life surged with tremendous waves, and an invisible, terrifying pressure descended upon the mighty and imposing man.
But all the pressure dissipated upon contact with the mighty and imposing man.
“Emperor Xuan, what brings you here?”
A cold voice echoed from the depths of the Sea of Life.
“I came to ask for a life essence stone before I perish,” the mighty and imposing man said with a smile.
“Life essence stone? You already stole one in the past, and now you want another?” The voice from the depths of the Sea of Life carried a hint of anger.
Over thirty million cosmic ages ago, Emperor Xuan had come here to steal a life essence stone to recreate the Sea of Life and create the life essence star of the Xuanhuang Universe. This act resulted in no more life essence stones falling for the next ten million cosmic ages.
Life essence stones are far more precious than life essence stones, being the foundation of the Sea of Life, condensed over countless cosmic ages.
“Indeed, I want another one.”
The mighty and imposing man nodded. “Will you give it to me?”
Upon hearing this, the depths of the Sea of Life fell silent.
“You know I don’t have much time left,” the mighty and imposing man said.
“Get lost.”
The Sea of Life surged, and a fist-sized crystal shot out from the depths.
“Hahaha.”
The mighty and imposing man laughed heartily, turned, and left the Sea of Life.
Before an ancient mine.
The mighty and imposing man appeared out of thin air.
“Before I die, could you give me some crystal ore?” the mighty and imposing man said, his voice echoing through the ancient mine.
“Emperor Xuan, you’ve gone too far. Crystal ore is extremely precious,” a cold voice came from the depths of the mine.
“In that case, I’ll see if I can overturn your mine before I die,” the mighty and imposing man said, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”
A moment later.
A beam of crystal light shot out from the depths of the ancient mine.
The mighty and imposing man caught the crystal light and turned to leave.
On that day.
The great sage Emperor Xuan, who had lived for over thirty million cosmic ages, entered many mysterious places within the chaotic void, provoking the fury of these special entities.
Supreme sages observed each other from afar, as these ancient mysterious places had existed for eons, ranking alongside special entities like the Eye of All Laws. Even historically invincible sages would not press them too hard.
In the end, Emperor Xuan’s aura disappeared within the chaotic void, and no one knew where this supreme sage had gone, with all traces and causes vanishing completely.
In an extremely remote corner of the chaotic void.
Here, the chaotic energy was thin, and it was a desolate void.
Outside a naturally formed universe.
A mighty and imposing figure silently appeared, none other than Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan quietly observed the nearby universe, his gaze piercing through the universe to a secret realm partially integrated with the cosmic essence.
This secret realm was similar to the Xuanhuang Secret Realm but was more thoroughly integrated with the cosmic essence, making it virtually impossible to enter.
The secret realm was empty.
There were no treasures that appeared once every thousand cosmic ages.
No rare wonders that numerous sages would risk their lives for.
Not to mention any world-shaking weapons or armaments of the sage level.
Only at the center of the secret realm stood a solitary grave, surrounded by some pink peach blossoms.
“Sister.”
Emperor Xuan, separated by the universe, gazed at the grave, a rare gentle expression on his face. He murmured softly:
“Finally, I can rest with you.”
In the end, Emperor Xuan’s figure became blurry and ethereal, the chaotic energy drifted, transforming into a shower of light that merged into the distant universe.
