Chapter 624: Entering Yang Four, Advancing to Yang Five
Chapter 624: Entering Yang Four, Advancing to Yang Five
December 12, 2024
The young man returned from the front lines, bearing injuries on his body.
Even as he stepped into Yang Five, possessing unparalleled combat strength, he still sustained injuries when facing Return to Nothingness.
"How is San Sheng doing?" the young man asked.
Ever since San Sheng returned from Origin Mountain, he had been in seclusion, contemplating the path to Yang Six.
"He is still in seclusion," a Yang Three Realm Lord respectfully replied.
"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Return to Nothingness, should we inform His Majesty San Sheng?" the Realm Lord asked immediately.
It was clear that this question was not his own, but someone had asked him to inquire.
The young man furrowed his brows, "There is no need to inform San Sheng about this. I will handle the matter of Return to Nothingness. He only needs to break through to Yang Five."
He was expressing his stance.
He knew that because San Sheng had chosen not to pursue the path to Yang Six on Origin Mountain, there had been much idle gossip within their lineage.
After all, in the eyes of others, if San Sheng were to step into Yang Six, perhaps their lineage would not have suffered such a miserable fate when facing Return to Nothingness, and they might not have had to abandon so many territories.
After speaking, the young man said no more and merely glanced at San Sheng's place of seclusion before turning to leave.
"Wait a moment."
At that moment, San Sheng's voice reached him.
The young man's eyebrows twitched, and he entered the secluded area.
San Sheng looked at the young man, his voice calm, "I wish to go to the Rebirth Realm, which is related to my path."
Hearing this, the young man's expression changed slightly.
However, he remained silent.
"The Rebirth Realm and the Netherworld are both related to my path," San Sheng replied.
The young man took a deep breath.
If it were anyone else, they would have likely started dissuading San Sheng by now.
After all, the Rebirth Realm and the Netherworld were much further from the path than the Yang Realm.
Breaking through to Yang Six was even more of a distant dream.
"With me here, you can cultivate and break through with peace of mind," the young man said.
"Alright," San Sheng nodded.
He made some quick arrangements, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
From that moment on, the Yang Realm no longer had San Sheng.
In the Rebirth Realm, there was one more San Sheng.
...
"The path of reincarnation also needs to be walked in the Rebirth Realm."
The San Sheng who arrived in the Rebirth Realm was a brand new San Sheng.
He started from scratch, re-cultivating his cultivation method, from Qi Condensation to Foundation Establishment, to Essence Gathering, to Divine Infant... and finally, he stepped into the Yang Three realm once more.
"After Yang Three, there is Yang Four, where True Spirits are extinguished and solidified into rules."
On Great Snow Mountain, San Sheng's eyes carried a hint of sorrow.
"Yang Four... is this the result of that failure?"
San Sheng remembered that on Origin Mountain, there was a Yang Six who had also invited him.
That Yang Six was named Dun.
This Dun was: The fiftieth path of Heaven's Dao, Dun was one of them.
Return to Nothingness is the inevitable trend, the opposite of life.
This Dun used Dun to counter Return to Nothingness.
However, his Dun was not perfect, just like how the stillness of Stillness is not perfect.
"Therefore, under the influence of Dun, all Yang Fours in the world... have lost their True Spirits, existing only in the past and future, and only by solidifying into Unusual Artifacts can they exist in the present?"
This was Dun's method of countering Return to Nothingness, and it was also Dun's path.
"The ultimate goal of all paths is eternity.
However, because the world has Return to Nothingness, countering it has also become the ultimate endpoint of the path."
So-called Return to Nothingness is returning to zero, destruction, calamity, chaos, and oblivion.
All negative, erasing, and absolute methods in the mortal world can be called Return to Nothingness.
"So-called reincarnation is that even the beings destroyed by Return to Nothingness can walk out through my cycle of rebirth."
San Sheng thought to himself.
His vision was grand.
But to realize it, how difficult it was.
Destruction is always easier than rebuilding.
In the Netherworld, Rebirth Realm, and Yang Realm, there were countless universes, spaces, and grand realms.
Even beyond the Three Realms, there were countless worlds.
The number of powerful beings born was immeasurable.
The Great Dao... was also infinite.
The various methods of annihilation were also countless.
Some methods were unfathomable, absolute banishment, or methods that did not harm the True Spirit, or imprisonment.
Anything that made beings unhappy or satisfied, but in reality, carried malicious intent, could be called Return to Nothingness.
Return to Nothingness is the opposite of eternity.
One might even say that the eternity of malice is also a form of Return to Nothingness.
The Return to Nothingness that appeared in the Three Realms often arrived in the form of destruction.
"So... to achieve the path of reincarnation... I need to know... all the methods and paths in the world... and reach the pinnacle of each."
San Sheng murmured.
Precisely because of this, Stillness had once said that San Sheng was delusional.
Because there were too many methods of destruction, Return to Nothingness encompassed everything.
The paths in the world were countless.
One might even say that even a single cell had its unique path.
A rock, a desolate planet, also had its own path.
He needed to understand them all, to be omniscient and omnipotent, to truly counter Return to Nothingness and allow beings to walk out of the cycle of rebirth.
"I also need to enter Yang Four."
Without entering Yang Four, how could he understand the path of Dun?
Although it was said that the Yang Six realm could see through everything in the world and understand the nature of Yang Four, in San Sheng's eyes, this was merely knowing the result.
"I will enter Yang Four in the Netherworld."
As San Sheng murmured, his figure split into two.
One body entered the Netherworld, while the other remained in the Rebirth Realm.
Years later.
In the Netherworld, San Sheng wore a black robe, exuding an enigmatic aura.
Behind him followed a group of powerful beings.
These beings, judging solely by their auras, were all at the Yang Five realm.
However, even at Yang Five, they showed respect in front of San Sheng at the Yang Three realm.
Because San Sheng's talent was too high.
With just a few words, he could enlighten a powerful being.
Furthermore, although he was a Yang Three, his combat prowess was exceptionally astonishing.
Facing the Void, he also had numerous means of resistance.
Hence, during his time in the Netherworld, he had many followers.
"Your Majesty San Sheng, the path of Yang Four... is not for the righteous disciple. With Your Majesty's innate talent and passion, you can enter Yang Five with a mere wave of your hand or a step of your foot." An elder of Yang Five spoke up.
He had been stuck at the Yang Three realm for countless years.
Finally, it was only under San Sheng's guidance that he managed to break through and enter Yang Five.
"Yang Five is not my pursuit," San Sheng said softly.
In the Netherworld, he established a powerful force that spanned across infinite space, collecting the laws of the world.
However, the Netherworld was too vast.
Even a Yang Six might not be able to explore it all.
"This time, I will enter Yang Four. If one day my true spirit revives, the world will no longer have the Void."
The powerful beings of Yang Five behind him all looked at San Sheng with complex expressions.
After all, sacrificing one's true spirit and entering Yang Four just to find a glimmer of hope for the revival of the true spirit to counter the Void was a difficult choice.
If they were to make this choice, they would never be able to do it.
In the 161 version!
After all, the Void was powerful, but at present... it was still unable to exterminate Yang Five powerhouses like them.
Even if the world were to descend into chaos.
However, the myriad realms of the heavens were so vast that one could survive by going to other places, living eternally without dying.
"If my true spirit cannot revive..." San Sheng's face showed a smile, "There will be others who come, and they will surpass me."
As San Sheng spoke, his figure vanished into nothingness at that moment.
The true spirit was extinguished.
At this moment, San Sheng felt that he had reached the pinnacle of power, even capable of injuring a Yang Six with a single sword.
But this ultimate transcendence only existed for an instant.
His true spirit completely vanished.
In the universe, only a group of powerful beings remained, gazing at the void ahead with complex expressions.
At the same time, in the Rebirth Realm.
San Sheng's thoughts were a bit dull.
"As expected, even the law I created, which divides the true spirit and enters the realm of Yang Four, has affected me as well."
The current San Sheng's true spirit was obscured.
It was as if some dust had accumulated on a light bulb.
"Sleep."
To deal with these problems, San Sheng chose to sleep.
No one knew how many years had passed when San Sheng woke up again.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, his eyes calm.
"Bitten by someone?"
On his arm, there was a row of clear tooth marks.
Obviously, someone had tried to bite him while he was asleep.
Upon waking, his understanding of the myriad paths had become even deeper.
But...
He opened the jade tablet, and numerous messages came through.
"San Sheng, the Sky Battle Domain has been devoured by the Void."
"The Yang Heaven Realm is gone."
"More and more beings are relocating to the Ancestral Domain, and conflicts in the Ancestral Domain are constant."
During his slumber, the Void had become more rampant.
In the Netherworld, Rebirth Realm, and Yang Plane, the Void was spreading.
All things were turning into illusions.
"A dream spanning a thousand years, I never thought... the impact of the true spirit's extinction in Yang Four has lasted so many years."
San Sheng sighed.
In the current Yang Plane, perhaps only the powerful beings of his lineage and some ancient monsters would remember him.
The newly born Yang Five also did not know him.
"The more I know, the more I realize how far I am from reincarnation."
San Sheng sighed.
The reincarnation he pursued was even more complex than the omniscience and omnipotence of Yang Six.
One could say that it was a solitary path... against all the world.
"Reincarnation... reincarnation."
This became San Sheng's vow.
In the following years, he traveled across the Rebirth Realm alone.
He also saw that being who had left tooth marks on his arm.
He did not hold a grudge.
He was collecting the laws of the world, observing and understanding the Void.
But every once in a while, some news from the Yang Plane would arrive.
"The Wind Realm has been devoured by the Void."
"This time, there was a universe of beings who didn't have time to transfer and were all trapped in the Void."
"San Sheng, receiving the offerings of ten thousand races, on the path of origin, I will also escort you. I was severely injured, and it took ten trillion years for my injuries to heal. Now that the Void has invaded, why don't you return to protect your race?"
"Is it that the other paths of Yang Six are not Yang Six?"
More and more idle gossip came.
San Sheng's heart of seeking the Dao remained unchanged.
"Without reincarnation, how can we counter the Void?"
But after several years, when a girl came crying before San Sheng, her expression was miserable.
"Your Majesty San Sheng, His Majesty the Divine Being... fought against the Void, and his true spirit... was extinguished, leaving only a single thought."
The Divine Being was that young man, also San Sheng's junior disciple.
After so many years, the Void had become more terrifying, and even a Yang Five might fall within it.
"The true spirit was extinguished, leaving only a single thought?" San Sheng murmured, his expression complex, "What about that thought?"
"That thought... he doesn't want to see Your Majesty." The woman said through her tears.
The extinction of the true spirit meant complete annihilation.
That thought was merely the last breath of a powerful being.
His junior disciple's last breath... did not want to see him.
San Sheng sat under a large tree, staying there for seven days, his expression desolate.
"I understand."
"The closer I am to reincarnation, the more I realize how far I am from it."
"Without entering reincarnation, there is only the cycle."
At this moment, San Sheng no longer had the vow to pursue the path of reincarnation.
"First the cycle, then reincarnation."
San Sheng's voice was calm.
But he understood.
After entering the cycle, he might infinitely approach reincarnation, but... he would have no chance to truly touch upon it.
At this moment, San Sheng entered Yang Five.
Thus, Yang Five became the Dao Lord, and the mortal world entered the cycle.
