Chapter 714: Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower
Chapter 714: Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower
In the chaotic void.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged in a desolate expanse of emptiness, with tiny runes continuously forming in front of him.
Invisible timelines continuously unfolded toward the future in his line of sight.
"So this is the feeling of a time life form? To glimpse the future?"
Lin Yuan felt a sense of joy in his mind.
He finally understood why time life forms rarely appeared or took action.
First, they were rare.
Even in a dimension as perfect as the Source World, the number of time life forms that ultimately came into being would not be many.
The limitation in numbers made time life forms rare, and thus their appearances and actions were naturally few.
Second, for time life forms, there was no need to appear or take action; they could simply observe numerous future timelines.
Most of the time, time life forms, apart from secluding themselves for cultivation, spent their time observing more and more distant future timelines.
Unless they saw resources or opportunities that were useful to them, they would not act or appear without purpose.
"Unfortunately, I am not a true time life form. The farthest timeline I can observe is only up to a hundred thousand years, and the number of timelines I can observe at once is not many."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Through the Way of Runes, he had achieved what only time life forms could do, but it was at most a 'castrated version.'
To be precise, Lin Yuan could observe his future timeline through a 'trick.'
Normal time life forms could observe future timelines because of their sufficiently high life essence.
If the future were compared to a maze, then the height at which time life forms stood would be above the maze, allowing them to overlook it and predict the paths and obstacles within.
Lin Yuan, however, did not have a life essence that was high enough to overlook the maze. He could observe the future only through a brief penetration of the maze's walls.
His grasp and perception of future timelines naturally could not compare to those of true time life forms.
Despite this, Lin Yuan was very enthusiastic about observing his various future timelines.
"Hmm?"
"This timeline shows a very obscure and distorted scene thirty thousand years in the future. Is it an encounter with another time life form?"
Lin Yuan thought.
Even true time life forms would face significant resistance when observing the future timelines of other time life forms of the same level.
Now, Lin Yuan, who was not yet a time life form, found that any future timeline involving a time life form would become extremely obscure, blurred, and distorted.
After this period, the timeline images gradually became normal and clear again.
"It seems I will have a good relationship with that time life form."
Lin Yuan speculated and continued to observe further into the future.
Soon.
The future timeline reached eighty thousand years in the future.
At this point, it became increasingly difficult for Lin Yuan to observe even further into the future.
In this timeline, Lin Yuan's ascension to the thirteenth rank was relatively late, approximately twenty thousand years from now. He would become a time life form around that time.
By eighty thousand years in the future, Lin Yuan, who had already become a time life form, would have already begun exploring the mysterious dimensional gaps beyond the chaotic void.
The dimensional gaps were regions between vast dimensional spaces, filled with danger. Only time life forms, with their massive life essences, had the qualifications to traverse them.
Below the level of time life forms, some native life forms in the dimensional gaps might have some survival capabilities.
As for life forms born within dimensional spaces, they generally could not survive for long in the dimensional gaps due to the extremely harsh environment.
In the eighty-eight thousandth year, while exploring a remote location in the mysterious dimensional gaps, Lin Yuan discovered a peculiar flower that perfectly blended yin and yang forces.
"Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed this timeline and learned the name of this peculiar flower.
"This Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, which perfectly blends yin and yang forces, will be of great help in advancing my Chaotic Taiji Dao to the third level."
Lin Yuan's heart stirred.
By the eighty-eight thousandth year, Lin Yuan's Chaotic Taiji Dao had already reached the third level, so finding this Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower at that time would not have been of much use to him.
But now, Lin Yuan's Chaotic Taiji Dao had not yet reached the third level.
Moreover, in all the future timelines he had observed so far, his Chaotic Taiji Dao only reached the third level after he became a time life form.
Advancing from the second to the third level of the Chaotic Taiji Dao was a qualitative change in his own chaotic evolution path. It required not only insight but also sufficient accumulation, often taking tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to refine.
"Let's observe a new timeline."
Lin Yuan immediately began to observe a new future timeline.
In this timeline, Lin Yuan immediately chose to send an avatar to the location of the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower to retrieve this precious item in advance.
"Success."
Lin Yuan continued to observe this timeline and, with the power of the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, finally managed to advance his Chaotic Taiji Dao to the third level before reaching the thirteenth rank.
This was the only future timeline Lin Yuan had observed so far where he advanced his Chaotic Taiji Dao to the third level before becoming a time life form.
"Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, determined to obtain this precious item.
A moment later.
Lin Yuan separated his Taiji Primordial Spirit and sent it to the dimensional gaps, heading toward the location of the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower as shown in the future timeline.
"Everything should go smoothly."
Lin Yuan watched as his Taiji Primordial Spirit left and continued to observe a few new future timelines. After confirming that he had a high chance of retrieving the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, he nodded slightly.
The Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower was not of much use to thirteenth-rank time life forms on other paths.
Therefore, it did not attract the attention of thirteenth-rank time life forms. In the few timelines Lin Yuan had observed, his avatar successfully retrieved the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower.
Of course, just a few timelines could not guarantee that he would definitely retrieve the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, but the chances were definitely high, and there was no interference from other thirteenth-rank time life forms.
"This is the power of a time life form."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The greatest strength of time life forms was their ability to choose the most favorable future.
For example, without the ability to glimpse the future, Lin Yuan probably would not have encountered such a precious item before reaching the thirteenth rank.
It was precisely through the ability to glimpse the future that Lin Yuan could find a way to advance his Chaotic Taiji Dao to the third level before the thirteenth rank and choose the most favorable future for himself.
"The timelines I can observe now are still very short. True time life forms can often observe timelines millions or tens of millions of cosmic years into the future. The strategic layouts they can make in such situations are truly terrifying."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
He also became slightly aware of the ways in which time life forms clashed.
Perhaps two time life forms who suddenly engaged in combat had little enmity beforehand.
However, due to a significant cause in the future, they acted in advance to clear obstacles.
Outside the chaotic void.
Lin Yuan appeared here.
"To ensure absolute success, I even dispatched my Taiji Primordial Spirit," Lin Yuan thought, "In the few future timelines, my avatar could smoothly retrieve the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower. Now, with the Taiji Primordial Spirit, it should be even more secure."
This also demonstrated Lin Yuan's high regard for the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower. In the mysterious dimensional gaps, anything could happen, so it was necessary to make thorough preparations.
"That direction."
Lin Yuan looked in a certain direction and immediately rushed over.
In the future timelines, he discovered the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower during a casual stroll several tens of thousands of years after reaching the thirteenth rank.
In fact, the location of the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower was not too far from the chaotic void. With the speed of his Taiji Primordial Spirit, it would take only a few thousand years to reach there.
A round trip would take no more than a few thousand years, enough time to return to the chaotic void before Lin Yuan's breakthrough.
While traveling, Lin Yuan naturally also pondered the essence of the dimensional gaps.
Previously, Lin Yuan's explorations of the dimensional gaps were mostly limited to the vicinity of the chaotic void.
Now, he needed to travel a considerable distance away from the chaotic void, and without its influence, the dimensional gaps presented a different sensation to Lin Yuan.
The mysterious dimensional gaps, like the chaotic void, were vast entities that naturally radiated influence on their surroundings.
However, as Lin Yuan rapidly moved away from the chaotic void, this influence gradually diminished, revealing the true nature of the dimensional gaps to him.
"Dimensional gaps."
Lin Yuan felt the emptiness of the dimensional gaps.
Indeed.
The dimensional gaps gave Lin Yuan a sense of emptiness.
Nothingness.
Eternal silence.
In the chaotic void, there were various fluctuations of great Dao principles.
But in the dimensional gaps, there were none; no fluctuations of any great Dao principles existed.
Therefore, for life forms born in the dimensional gaps, cultivation was an extremely difficult task.
Without the guidance of specific Dao principles, it was equivalent to having no direction, and cultivation had to be entirely self-reliant.
This environment was a nightmare for cultivation and evolution.
However, if one could grow in such an environment, they would inevitably become extremely powerful, far surpassing the limits of life forms in the chaotic void.
Compared to the dimensional gaps, the chaotic void was like a greenhouse.
"However, without the complete guidance of Dao principles, the life forms in the dimensional gaps, though extremely powerful, have a very low probability of becoming time life forms," Lin Yuan thought.
Strength and realm were not directly related to the comprehension of Dao principles.
Moreover, without the stable environment of a dimensional space, many methods that helped break through the time cycle were essentially useless.
For example, spreading one's evolutionary path?
Life forms in the dimensional gaps lived day to day, and spreading one's evolutionary path here? It was likely that the life forms trying to cultivate would die off by night.
Therefore, the thirteenth-rank time life forms Lin Yuan knew of were almost all from some dimensional space, not the harsh and competitive dimensional gaps.
During his journey, Lin Yuan also encountered some life forms in the dimensional gaps.
These life forms were extremely powerful, far surpassing the supreme saints in the chaotic void, even surpassing ordinary invincible saints.
Based on the guidelines, here is the modified text with the non-English character replaced with its English equivalent or transliteration, fitting the context which appears to be a fantasy or anime/manga setting (e.g., Naruto):
In the dimensional gaps, there were only two scenarios where one would release their aura recklessly.
One was being insane, courting death.
The other was being a thirteenth-rank time life form.
Even in the harsh dimensional gaps, thirteenth-rank time life forms could easily traverse.
With a hum, Lin Yuan's mind slightly moved, and a cosmic aura enveloped him. All the life forms in the dimensional gaps within his range fell into a brief slumber, their memories silently copied by Lin Yuan.
So far, the information Lin Yuan had gathered about the dimensional gaps outside the chaotic void was still limited.
"In the memories of these dimensional gap life forms, the area near the chaotic void should be avoided if possible," Lin Yuan thought, his expression contemplative.
The chaotic void was a vast dimensional space, having nurtured multiple time life forms, equivalent to the territory of time life forms. This naturally made it a taboo for the native life forms of the dimensional gaps.
The Law Source Tree dared to approach the chaotic void because it needed to absorb the law and principle aura emitted by the chaotic void, a risky move.
"Besides the chaotic void, there are a few other places that must be avoided at all costs."
Lin Yuan silently noted the locations from the memories of the native life forms of the dimensional gaps, speculating that they were related to time life forms.
For vast dimensional spaces like the chaotic void, they would eventually face a great destruction. When that happened, what would the time life forms in the chaotic void do?
They would have to leave the chaotic void and reside in the dimensional gaps.
After the great destruction, even if the chaotic void re-evolved and was reborn, external time life forms could not enter.
For time life forms, vast dimensional spaces like the chaotic void were like their strongholds, and they naturally did not want to lose them.
Therefore, the thirteenth-rank time life forms had opened up special places to compensate for the vulnerabilities of the chaotic void, extending the duration of its existence.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, several decades had gone by. With Lin Yuan's speed, the distance he had traveled in those decades was immeasurable, already far from the chaotic void.
"Still cannot sense the locations of the first and second Origin Worlds," Lin Yuan looked up at the boundless dimensional gaps.
He had his true bodies seated in the first and second Origin Worlds, and in theory, he should be able to sense them no matter the distance. However, currently, Lin Yuan could only sense his true bodies in the two Origin Worlds through the Gate of Myriad Worlds.
"Perhaps the locations of these two Origin Worlds are special, able to block sensing?"
Lin Yuan speculated, not overly concerned.
The more mysterious the Origin Worlds, the rarer the remaining thirty-one Origin World coordinates in his mind.
For time life forms, any powerful dimensional space was extremely precious, especially Origin Worlds. Even the Lord of Heavenly Light paid a heavy price to merge into an Origin World, hoping to leverage its perfect aura to make the final breakthrough.
Just as Lin Yuan continued toward the location of the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, his expression suddenly changed, looking in another direction.
"What is that?"
