Chapter 682: A World of Billions of Particles
The Sacred Emerald Cloud Mountain stood tall, a pinnacle force among the great powers before the great cosmic upheaval. It was the stronghold of the Emerald Cloud Holy Sect, a place where new disciples were cultivated and strengthened.
Within the Sacred Emerald Cloud Mountain, numerous small worlds had been established to nurture the fresh blood of the Holy Sect. This allowed the sect to endure despite the majority of the outer regions being overrun by the Demons.
At the Emerald Cloud Academy, Lin Yuan had not changed much compared to a thousand years ago, except that his aura had become more Restrained.
"Chen Zhisshi, they say the Demons are eternal. Is there truly no way to completely eliminate them?"
A young disciple, having just exchanged the required Spirit Slips, couldn't help but ask Lin Yuan.
Over the thousand years, Lin Yuan had lived a secluded life at the Emerald Cloud Academy, occasionally guiding the new disciples. Over time, he had gained a reputation, and many disciples were eager to seek his counsel.
"The Demons originate from the demonic aura of the cosmos. As long as the demonic aura persists, the Demons will not be eradicated," Lin Yuan said calmly. "To completely eliminate the Demons, one must eradicate the source of the demonic aura."
The source of the demonic aura is the legendary Dark Deity.
Having dwelled in this primordial world for a thousand years, Lin Yuan had learned many secrets.
For instance, if the demonic aura is compared to sunlight, then the Dark Deity is the Sun. As long as the Sun exists, the demonic aura will continue to flow endlessly. Even if a terrifying Demon is completely annihilated, it will be reborn from the endless demonic aura.
"How can one eradicate the source of the demonic aura?"
The young disciple continued to ask.
"I am not sure."
Lin Yuan shook his head. Although he had discerned that all demonic auras originated from the Dark Deity, he did not know where the Dark Deity was. Even if he knew, he would not attempt to eradicate it, as the Dark Deity's strength was at least at the thirteenth tier, capable of causing widespread Demon disasters across the entire primordial world.
"Alright, you don't need to think too much about it," Lin Yuan said casually, glancing at the worried young disciple.
"Hmm."
The young disciple nodded and left the Emerald Cloud Academy.
Just as he reached the gate of the Emerald Cloud Academy, a few other young disciples came over.
"Ouyang, what did you say to Chen Zhisshi?" These young disciples were quite curious.
"I asked how to completely eliminate the Demons in the outer world," the young disciple named Ouyang said truthfully.
"What did Chen Zhisshi say?"
"Chen Zhisshi said that to eliminate the Demons, one must eradicate the source of the demonic aura," Ouyang said.
"Eradicate the source of the demonic aura?"
The young disciples pondered for a while.
They did not doubt Lin Yuan's response. Over the thousand years, Chen Zhisshi, although never revealing much power, had extensive knowledge and was occasionally consulted by even the elders of the Holy Sect.
"Ah, Given Chen Zhisshi's understanding of the Demons, why does he remain in the Emerald Cloud Academy? Wouldn't it be better to go out and clear the demonic aura gathering points?"
"Apparently, a thousand years ago, during an operation to clear a demonic aura gathering point, Chen Zhisshi was invaded by the demonic aura, leaving some hidden dangers."
"So that's how it is. Chen Zhisshi has made such a great contribution to our Holy Sect!"
The young disciples showed deep respect.
Being invaded by the demonic aura has severe consequences; few survive.
Deep within the Emerald Cloud Academy, Lin Yuan sat in meditation.
"This primordial world is deep. The Eternal Sects at the center of the cosmos must have time-bound beings sitting in judgment, yet they allow the demonic aura to spread. What is the reason behind this?"
Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn. This was the reason he had remained in the Sacred Emerald Cloud Mountain even after recovering his peak strength eight hundred years ago.
Not knowing the details of the outer world did not hinder Lin Yuan's cultivation and enlightenment.
The Emerald Cloud Holy Sect's collection of Arcane Legacies was sufficient for Lin Yuan to comprehend for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Moreover, Lin Yuan needed a considerable amount of time to slowly develop his own Particle Realm. Given the pervasive demonic aura and the prevalence of Demons everywhere, if Lin Yuan needed resources, he could venture out and return laden with them.
For the cultivators of this world, each Demon was terrifying, but to Lin Yuan, they were mere chickens. Even the most powerful Demons could be suppressed and quickly refined by him.
If not for his caution towards the Dark Deity, Lin Yuan would have long ago ventured to the center of the cosmos to hunt down the primordial Demons.
"A thousand years of cultivation, the Chaos Yin-Yang Taiji Dao has reached the peak of the first tier. In a few hundred to a few thousand years, it will transcend to the second tier."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face. The Chaos Yin-Yang Taiji Dao was his foundation, and even his methods for refining the terrifying Demons now relied on the power of the Chaos Yin-Yang Taiji.
In the cosmic universe, where the mightiest beings can destroy stars and galaxies with ease and traverse millions of light-years in an instant, Lin Yuan, equipped with the Gate of Myriad Worlds, finds himself at the bottom Tier. Relying on his Gate and his innate talent, the Heaven-defying Comprehension, he travels through various worlds, growing stronger in secret.
The deeper Lin Yuan delves into the Dao of Yin and Yang, the more significant the benefits become. This foundational aid nurtures every aspect of his being, from his physical body to his soul and willpower.
"There is also the Thirteenth Legacy, 'Infinite Void.'"
This legacy, refined over a thousand years, has already reached halfway through the fourth layer of its progression.
Over a thousand years of cultivation, Lin Yuan has made substantial advancements in every aspect, especially after comprehending the second Origin World’s Runic Legacy, which has greatly aided his understanding of numerous fundamental rules and great paths.
Of course, the greatest gain from all his endeavors is the creation of particle worlds.
By stabilizing each particle world with the Runic Dao, and supplemented by the inexhaustible magic of this Origin World, Lin Yuan has now created a hundred billion particle worlds.
A hundred billion particle worlds, though still short of his ultimate goal of creating an infinite number of particle worlds, provide Lin Yuan with a terrifying boost.
Currently, Lin Yuan has three True Body Avatars, each residing in the Chaotic Void, the First Origin World, and the Second Origin World.
However, in terms of strength, the strongest True Body Avatara resides in the Second Origin World, an undisputed fact.
Even considering the advantages of the Chaotic Void’s inner universe and the First Origin World’s Sun God Body, they still cannot match the might of the True Body Avatara in the Second Origin World.
"I am different from the Abyss Dragon."
"The particle worlds created by the Abyss Dragon are ordinary particle worlds."
"But the particle worlds I create are each restructured through the 'Infinitevoid' Legacy."
Lin Yuan’s demeanor is radiant; the Thirteenth Legacy, 'Infinitevoid,' is a legacy specifically for the cultivation of worlds. As long as it is a world, whether a particle world or otherwise, it can be cultivated.
Because of this, the boost from just a hundred billion particle worlds is nearly equivalent to the entire body of particle worlds created by the Abyss Dragon.
"So far, the creation of particle worlds is progressing normally, but we must wait for it to be fully cultivated to see the full benefits."
Lin Yuan reflects that his True Body Avatara in the Second Origin World is the strongest because the other two True Body Avatars have not yet begun creating particle worlds.
"Although the magic outside is said to be inexhaustible, over the past thousand years, with my hunting, the number of spirits and demons has noticeably decreased."
Lin Yuan contemplates.
A single spirit can provide the resources for Lin Yuan to create hundreds to thousands of particle worlds.
A single great demon can provide the energy for tens of thousands to millions of particle worlds.
Considering Lin Yuan has created a hundred billion particle worlds, it is clear how many spirits and great demons he has Hunted.
While demons may not truly die, their bodies must be completely annihilated to be restored, which takes a considerable amount of time.
"It seems I need to expand my hunting range to hunt more Great Demons." Lin Yuan thinks, aware of the vast resources needed as he continues to create particle Worlds.
In the Chaotic Void, Lin Yuan sits cross-legged in a desolate expanse, a web of energies intertwining before him, forming Runic Symbols. Each Runic Symbol seems to be an external manifestation of the Great Dao.
"This Runic Dao is indeed useful."
"Effortlessly replicating numerous Great Dao rules, it significantly lowers the cultivation threshold."
Lin Yuan contemplates, feeling the formless Great Dao rules and the tangible Great Dao rules, which naturally have different levels of difficulty.
"Before the Second Origin World’s Great Transformation, the number of strong beings must have been astonishing." While Lin Yuan is unaware of the grandeur before the Great Transformation, he can infer from the usefulness of the Runic Dao that it was undoubtedly a dazzling era of cultivation.
It is estimated that even at the Third Realm of Freedom, comparable to the Invincible Great Saints of the Chaotic Void, such beings would frequently appear.
After all, even in the Second Origin World, with its six Ancient Nations supported by six Ancestors, the number of True Emperors who can rival the Invincible Great Saints is not many.
"Unfortunately, I have already fully mastered the Runic Legacy of the Qing Sheng Holy Sect. To comprehend even deeper Runic Legacies, I must seek more powerful sects and forces."
Lin Yuan feels a bit helpless.
Even more powerful Sects and Forces?
Now, any sect that has managed to survive the endless onslaught of demons in the cosmic universe must be shrouded in secrecy. Finding the exact location of such a powerful sect is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Lin Yuan knew the locations of a few of the eternal sects at the center of the universe, but the risks of approaching them were still too great. If possible, he planned to wait until he had fully developed the Sand Particle World before making any moves.
"Take it slow. I can’t just figure out the rest of the Runic Path on my own."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. With the partial inheritance of the Runic Path, and given his Heaven-defying Comprehension, he could attempt to create the subsequent parts. However, the time required was too long, and there was no guarantee that his creation would match the original Runic Path. At least for now, Lin Yuan was certain that the Runic Path could only be fully developed after experiencing the thirteenth-level Time Life.
This method of simplifying the great laws and rules could only be achieved by a thirteenth-level Time Life.
Thirteenth-level Time Life? Lin Yuan didn’t think his comprehension was lower than that of a Time Life, but the height and perspective of a Time Life were different from his own. He still placed great importance on the Runic Path they had created.
"Continue."
Lin Yuan glanced at the desolate void around him. Hundreds of years ago, he had left the Milky Way Chaos Continent, traveling through the chaotic void, attempting to comprehend the workings of the entire chaotic void.
Of course, he had left an avatar on the Milky Way Chaos Continent, allowing him to return at any moment.
With Lin Yuan’s current reputation in the chaotic void, he was the fastest to achieve invincibility among the great saints in recorded history. This alone ensured the safety of the Milky Way Chaos Continent. No great saint dared to cause trouble there.
Green Cloud Holy Mountain.
In the highest hall.
The Sect Leader and various elders gathered.
"In the last thousand years, the number of nearby demons has clearly decreased." An elder’s expression was puzzled.
Younger disciples might not have noticed, but as elders who had experienced numerous demon attacks and cleared out numerous demonic energy gathering spots, they occasionally encountered some demonic spirits.
While the threat from demonic spirits was far less than that of major demons, encountering demonic spirits, the elders weren’t worried. With the perception of demonic spirits, they likely wouldn’t discover the existence of Greencloud Holy Mountain.
But even if demonic spirits were weaker, they were still demons, and they shouldn’t be mysteriously disappearing.
Especially now, with the number of mysteriously disappearing demonic spirits being too many, many elders found it unbelievable.
"Is the decrease in the number of demons a good thing?"
Some elders were puzzled. The fewer demons near Greencloud Holy Mountain, the safer the holy mountain should be, right?
"Things can’t be Seen So Simplistically."
At this moment, the Sect Leader of Greencloud Holy Sect spoke, his tone low and serious: "Most demons will reside in a particular region. If the number of demons in a region decreases, there are two possibilities."
"One is that a more powerful demon has appeared in this region, driving other demons away instinctively."
"That’s why the number of demons has decreased."
The Sect Leader paused for a moment before continuing: "The second possibility is that the demons in this region have been devoured, which is why they have decreased."
Upon hearing these words, all the elders’ expressions changed slightly.
Devoured demons?
What could devour demons was likely a demonized being.
A demonized being would become closer to a true demon as their strength increased.
A powerful demonized being was not much different from most demons, perhaps retaining some fragmented memories, but their emotions were mostly erased, and even their memories would rapidly dissipate as they continued to grow stronger.
"Another demonized being? Has our Holy Sect produced another demonized being?"
An elder’s expression was filled with fear. Even they felt the number of nearby demons decreasing, one could imagine how many demons this demonized being had devoured.
Devouring so many demons, even if the demonized being hadn’t reached the realm of the Three Transcendent Realms, their strength wouldn’t be much lower.
Compared to external demons, a demonized being was more terrifying. They would hide within the holy mountain, striking at any moment.
"It’s not certain. It could be the first possibility, or perhaps another possibility we haven’t considered."
The Sect Leader of Green Cloud Holy Sect spoke.
In reality, regardless of which possibility, neither was a good thing.
As the number of demons in this region decreased, with the loss of numerous demons exhaling demonic energy, the concentration of demonic energy in the nearby area would slowly rise, attracting the attention of more distant and powerful demons.
