Chapter 624: Xia Qin to the Strong: A Galaxy of Great Saints?
The Xuanhuang Universe.
Lin Yuan was about to leave, as his journey in the Xuanhuang Universe was essentially over.
Just now, Xuanhuang himself had personally taken action, gathering all the rare treasures and precious items from different regions of the universe and then gifting them to Lin Yuan.
There was no longer a need for Lin Yuan to search for these items himself.
Almost all the valuable items in the entire Xuanhuang Universe were now in Lin Yuan’s possession.
Suddenly—
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan’s expression slightly changed as the space-time before him twisted slightly.
Soon after, a large number of treasures fell out of the twisted space-time, hovering before Lin Yuan.
"These treasures?"
Lin Yuan’s pupils narrowed slightly.
The treasures that fell out were not many, only a dozen or so, but the aura they emitted made Lin Yuan’s heart tremble.
"Life Divine Stone?"
Lin Yuan looked at one of the crystals.
This crystal was only fist-sized, far smaller compared to the nearly three-meter-long Life Divine Stone he had obtained. However, for some reason, Lin Yuan felt that this crystal was infinitely more precious than the Life Divine Stone.
"This isn’t a Life Divine Stone; this is a Life Source Stone!"
Various thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan’s mind.
Life Divine Stone.
Life Source Stone.
Although they differed by only one character, they were entirely different things.
If the mysterious place in the chaotic void—the Sea of Life—dropped Life Divine Stones periodically, then the Life Source Stone was the very foundation of the Sea of Life.
The relationship between the Life Divine Stone and the Life Source stone was akin to that between a child and its mother.
As long as the mother body existed, theoretically, it could give birth to countless child bodies.
It was precisely for this reason that the Life Source Stone almost never appeared in the chaotic void.
Lin Yuan only recognized this crystal’s identity after receiving information from the owner of the Demon Jade Tower.
"The Life Source Star in this universe must have been a fragment of the Life Source Stone, so it could only give birth to Life Divine Stones under the influence of the unique rules of its surroundings, akin to a miniature Sea of Life."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Treasures like the Life Divine Stone were so rare that even a Supreme Saint who could manipulate specific rules would find it difficult to directly give birth to them. They would need external assistance.
Otherwise, in the history of the chaotic void, if every Supreme Saint began giving birth to Life Divine Stones, such treasures would not be so precious and rare, not even a Chaotic Saint could encounter them easily.
So far, Lin Yuan had only confirmed that the Xuanhuang Universe could give birth to Life Divine Stones.
And the external force needed to give birth to a Life Divine Stone was the Life Source Stone itself.
However, to form an environment capable of giving birth to a Life Divine Stone, the Life Source Stone had to be thoroughly integrated into the universe, forming the unique rules of the Sea of Life.
In such a case, the Life Source Stone would be one with the entire universe, inseparable.
Even Xuanhuang, the creator of the universe, would have no way to revert the Life Source Star back to a Life Source Stone.
However, looking at this fist-sized Life Source Stone, Lin Yuan felt as though he was looking at an endless supply of Life Divine Stones.
Apart from the Life Source Stone, the other treasures that fell alongside it were equally astonishing.
Primordial Ore Crystal.
Nine Heavens Thunder Core.
Source of All Soil.
Each of these treasures was no less valuable than the Life Source Stone, originating from some mysterious place, or even the foundation of such a place.
The so-called mysterious place referred to a location related to the Thirteenth Tier Time Life.
Throughout the long history of the chaotic void, a few Invincible Saints were born, and while they had the power to forcibly enter these mysterious places, they dared not do much more, fearing the attention of the Thirteenth Tier Time Life behind them.
Even if the possibility was minuscule, the Invincible Saints dared not take the risk. Compared to other Supreme Saints, the Invincible Saints were more aware of the power possessed by the Thirteenth Tier Time Life.
But Xuanhuang?
Xuanhuang broke free from the time cycle, destined for extinction, and naturally did not care whether the Thirteenth Tier Time Life would notice him or not.
That was why he dared to directly seek benefits from these mysterious places.
The spirits of those mysterious places were well aware of this. Even if they were unwilling, they could only swallow their losses if they feared Xuanhuang would start a war at all costs.
"Your Majesty."
Lin Yuan looked at the treasures before him, naturally realizing they were gifts from Xuanhuang.
Originally, Lin Yuan had been puzzled about what friend Xuanhuang wanted to see, but he did not expect it to be the ancient, enduring mysterious places.
"Possessing these treasures, my inner universe should become more perfect."
Lin Yuan stowed away over a dozen rare treasures, his mind racing with thoughts.
These treasures could form the mysterious realms within the primordial void, though they couldn't compare in scale, they shared the same essence. Instinctively, Lin Yuan felt that these treasures would benefit his internal universe. The ultimate goal of the Thirteenth Rank inheritance, Infinite Void, was to transform his internal universe into a vast entity comparable to the primordial void.
The primordial void contained these mysterious realms, and replicating them in his internal universe would undoubtedly be beneficial. Especially the unique rules governing these realms could play a crucial role in his internal universe's development. Even if there was no immediate effect, creating these special environments within his internal universe meant that he could periodically harvest a large number of rare treasures from the primordial void. It was like having a money tree, no, a whole forest of money trees.
As Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered, his mind suddenly jolted. He vaguely sensed that the ultimate source of one of his evolutionary paths had completely vanished.
"The Xuanhuang Evolutionary Path."
Lin Yuan remained silent. Although this wasn't his main evolutionary path, he had once practiced it. When he first entered the Xuanhuang Secret Realm and conversed with the Realm Spirit, he had wondered why this evolutionary path had never produced a supreme being. With the many legacies of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, cultivating a Twelfth Rank being wasn't too difficult. Even if one attempt failed, multiple attempts would eventually produce a Twelfth Rank powerhouse on the Xuanhuang Evolutionary Path.
However, after the Xuanhuang Emperor attempted to reach the Thirteenth Rank, this path had never produced a Twelfth Rank being again. Later, Lin Yuan realized that perhaps the Xuanhuang Emperor hadn't truly perished, so the ultimate source of this evolutionary path remained, preventing others from reaching the Twelfth Rank.
As it turned out, Lin Yuan's conjecture was correct. The Xuanhuang Emperor, who had attempted the Thirteenth Rank and become trapped in a time loop, wasn't truly dead. In fact, historically, every Chaotic Realm Being who attempted the Thirteenth Rank and became trapped in a time loop had never truly perished, only becoming submerged in the time loop.
But just now, Lin Yuan felt that the suppression on the Xuanhuang Evolutionary Path had completely vanished. From now on, this path could once again produce a supreme being.
This sensation wasn't based on causality. The Xuanhuang Emperor's power could shield causality, making it impossible for even Lin Yuan to sense anything.
"In the future, if I can reach the Thirteenth Rank and become a Time Being, I will revive you."
Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment, then thought to himself, "And I'll revive your senior sister as well."
The resurrection techniques of a Thirteenth Rank being didn't rely on external means. As long as a life form had existed in the past time line of the primordial void, it could be revived. The Xuanhuang Emperor, though he had perished by forcefully breaking free from the time loop, had once existed and was therefore revivable.
With the might of a Thirteenth Rank Time Being, reviving a past life form was not difficult. The Xuanhuang Emperor had been unwilling to break the time loop and reach the Thirteenth Rank by erasing his senior sister from his memory. This erasure was absolute, completely erasing all emotions and memories.
In short, if the Xuanhuang Emperor had reached the Thirteenth Rank this way, even if he regained his memories, his senior sister would no longer be significant to him, and he wouldn't revive her.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan took a step and arrived at the entrance to the Xuanhuang Universe, then stepped through.
Outside the Xuanhuang Universe, Lin Yuan's figure appeared.
The Chaotic Venerables saw Lin Yuan and, though they showed reverence, they weren't particularly surprised. Before this, other Chaotic Venerables had also returned from the universe.
The Chaotic Venerables were more concerned with the fates of the supreme beings, Hunxiao and Yulin. As for Lin Yuan, aside from the Eye of All Laws, no one else knew that he had inherited the Xuanhuang Emperor's legacy.
They had no accurate estimate of Lin Yuan's gains within the Xuanhuang Universe. The Xuanhuang Emperor, upon his return, would likely have taken all the treasures, leaving Lin Yuan, the invincible supreme being, empty-handed.
As for why Lin Yuan hadn't perished, while Hunxiao and Yulin had, the ordinary Chaotic Venerables might wonder, but the supreme beings and Chaotic Great Sages knew the truth. Hunxiao and Yulin had pushed the Xuanhuang lineage to its demise. The Xuanhuang Emperor's return and his actions against these two supreme beings were entirely expected.
As for Lin Yuan?
He had not interfered with the Xuanhuang lineage. His entry into the Xuanhuang Universe was no different from the other Chaotic Venerables, and the Xuanhuang Emperor had not targeted them.
"Galactic Great Sage."
Lin Yuan glanced around and saw a Chaotic Venerable approaching nervously. It was the Divine Wind Venerable. Before the Xuanhuang Universe had opened, this Venerable had wanted to invite Lin Yuan to join forces with other Chaotic Venerables in a struggle.
At the time, Lin Yuan outright rejected him, and Divine Wind Venerable was quite displeased, thinking Lin Yuan lacked discernment.
However, when Lin Yuan displayed his strength outside the Xuanhuang Universe, rivaling the likes of Black Sun Great Sage, Dual Source Great Sage, and other Primordial great sages, Divine Wind Venerable trembled with unease.
Without hesitation, he chose to withdraw from the Xuanhuang Universe and even distanced himself from it, fearing Lin Yuan might settle scores with him later.
Later, when Divine Wind Venerable heard of Lin Yuan's might within the Xuanhuang Universe, where he single-handedly suppressed eight primordial great sages, even the Dual Source Great Sage, who had to submit to avoid trouble.
Upon learning this news, Divine Wind Venerable, who had already fled far from the Xuanhuang Universe, dared not move.
If Lin Yuan were just an ordinary primordial great sage, his distant escape might have given him a fighting chance. However, Lin Yuan's strength was nearly invincible among the primordial great sages, and suppressing peers of the same level posed no difficulty, let alone someone like Divine Wind Venerable.
Would fleeing save his life?
Realizing this, Divine Wind Venerable, despite his inner turmoil, steeled himself and returned to outside the Xuanhuang Universe.
"I never thought you would dare to show such an attitude in front of a Great Sage."
Divine Wind Great Sage looked at Lin Yuan, then with a flip of his hand, he brought out his long-cherished treasures, "I deserve death, but I hope the Great Sage will not hold it against me."
Divine Wind Great Sage was prepared to lose his physical form, as long as it could quell Lin Yuan's anger. Losing a primary combat form was nothing to him.
"Understood, you may leave."
Lin Yuan glanced at Divine Wind Venerable, who he had never really cared about in the first place.
"Many thanks, Great Sage."
Upon hearing this, Divine Wind Great Sage was overjoyed and immediately laid down his long-cherished treasures, then respectfully retreated.
Lin Yuan glanced at the treasures, which, while not particularly impressive to him, were still valuable. He decided to keep them.
In the next moment, Lin Yuan vanished from the spot, reappearing in a warped space-time.
Standing there, a massive eye stared at him.
"Well?"
"Was this trip worthwhile?"
Myriad Law's Eye casually asked, looking at Lin Yuan.
It knew that Lin Yuan had already inherited the Xuanhuang legacy, and this time entering the Xuanhuang Universe, he encountered Xuanhuang, who had already broken free from the time loop. It estimated there might be some great opportunities.
Of course, Myriad Law's Eye had no particular interest in such opportunities, even if Lin Yuan were an invincible Great Sage of an era, in the eyes of these special beings, it was just another existence.
What Myriad Law's Eye didn't know was that Xuanhuang had left Lin Yuan a thirteenth-rank weapon.
With the power of this weapon, Lin Yuan could even threaten these special beings.
"Was this trip worthwhile?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
He didn't elaborate much.
"Then it was."
Myriad Law's Eye nodded, "Then I'll send you back."
The current void domain was far from the ancient Ming Primordial Continent. Even with Lin Yuan's significant breakthroughs in strength, it would take decades or even a century to return on his own.
"Thank you."
Lin Yuan said.
On the ancient Ming Primordial Continent.
Ancient Ming Venerable hesitated, unsure if he should pay a visit to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan's recent achievements in the Xuanhuang Universe, suppressing a primordial great sage, were well-known, which was why he had the idea to visit. However, he was concerned about disturbing Lin Yuan.
"There shouldn't be any problem."
After much deliberation, Ancient Ming Venerable decided he should pay a visit. After all, with a primordial great sage on his continent, ignoring him would be disrespectful.
Although he had visited Lin Yuan multiple times before, now that Lin Yuan had fully revealed his might as a great sage, this visit would be different.
Not long after, Ancient Ming Venerable arrived outside the Star Tears 'Fragment World.'
"Venerable."
Xuanhuang Supreme, Xiaqin Supreme, and other supreme beings immediately came out to greet him.
Although Ancient Ming Venerable had always treated Lin Yuan with low regard, the supreme beings of human civilizations would not look down on him.
"I wish to meet the Galaxy Great Sage."
Ancient Ming Venerable immediately stated his purpose.
"Meet the Galaxy Great Sage?"
Xuanhuang Supreme and Xiaqin Supreme were somewhat taken aback.
What did Ancient Ming Venerable call Lin Yuan?
Galaxy Great Sage?
Xuanhuang Supreme and Xiaqin Supreme were momentarily stunned.
