Chapter 720: Smoothly in Hand
Chapter 720: Smoothly in Hand
In the dark dimensional gap.
‘Qianmian Chuan’ and ‘Linghan Gui’ two Time Beings gazed into the distance from afar.
"Qianmian Chuan, is this the ally you invited? Impressive," Linghan Gui glanced at the massive face of another being.
Qianmian Chuan shook his head. "I don't know Him."
In fact, he suspected that it might be Linghan Gui who invited the helper.
But considering Linghan Gui's reaction earlier, it seemed he had no prior preparation.
He even took the initiative to attack Lin Yuan.
So, he did not ask.
"You don't know?" Linghan Gui did not doubt.
At the Thirteenth Rank, it was rare to be deceived or hidden from.
Linghan Gui asked this question casually, not expecting a positive answer.
In reality, if Qianmian Chuan could really invite such a high-level ally, he would have shown it directly.
Linghan Gui would definitely have backed off voluntarily, avoiding a major conflict between the two Time Beings.
"Who would have thought that the special Nightmare Fruit, which we have been plotting for a long time, would end up in no one's hands," Qianmian Chuan said with a slight sigh.
For this day, he had observed tens of millions of future timelines.
In the end, he calculated that the probability of him obtaining this special Nightmare Fruit was as high as sixty percent.
Competing with another Time Being, having a sixty percent chance of success was already extremely high.
"The future timeline that even I can't see is quite complex," Linghan Gui said with a slightly solemn tone.
Observing each other's timelines among Time Beings was highly obstructed, but it shouldn't be this vague.
"Either the being's strength is close to the peak of the Thirteenth Rank, or they have deep karmic ties with a Lord, who is willing to spend the cost to seal the timeline," Qianmian Chuan nodded. "In either case, we'd better not get involved."
In the mysterious dimensional gap, if Time Beings are giants and titans, then Time Lords are absolute rulers.
Each Time Lord governs a vast area of the dimensional gap, and many Time Beings are willing to follow a Time Lord.
After all, Time Lords can see more and deeper timelines, providing guidance to Time Beings in this aspect.
"But why would such an existence be interested in the Nightmare Fruit, and even take personal action?" Linghan Gui was somewhat puzzled, unable to see the relevant timelines and thus unable to analyze Lin Yuan's true intentions.
"Let it be," Qianmian Chuan shook his head, and his massive face quickly disappeared.
Linghan Gui pondered for a while and did the same, his aura quickly retreating.
For the lofty Time Beings, something as precious as the special Nightmare Fruit is just part of a plan. Success is good, but failure is not a big deal.
Not far away.
On the towering Nightmare Tree, the countless Nightmare Clan members who had been prostrate on the ground finally dared to lift their heads, looking at the empty dimensional gap and feeling a sense of relief.
"The great Time Beings have left."
The Nightmare Clan members gradually began to converse.
In the eyes of Time Beings, they were mere ants that could be wiped out at any moment.
"That ten-thousand-meter Nightmare Fruit was taken by the great Time Being."
"It seems the last Time Being took it."
"The first two Time Beings didn't pursue."
The Nightmare Clan members cautiously discussed, even the slightest mention of the great Time Beings was done with utmost care, and they dared not mention any Time Being's name.
In an extremely distant place.
Lin Yuan stopped.
"No pursuit?"
Lin Yuan scanned behind him.
In the numerous future timelines he observed.
With the Lord Rank's blessing, he had taken the Nightmare Fruit, and the two Time Beings would not dare to pursue him.
The Nightmare Fruit was indeed precious, but chasing a Thirteenth Rank being whose future timeline was unclear? No Time Being would be willing to do so.
Time Beings were best at weighing the pros and cons, not acting impulsively, and any action was carefully considered.
Of course.
Lin Yuan was almost certain that the other side would not pursue him.
But he also made the worst-case scenario plan.
If those two Time Beings really pursued him without hesitation.
"I will return this Nightmare Fruit," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Time Beings do not do meaningless things.
Worst case, he would hand over the Nightmare Fruit and let the two Time Beings continue their battle for it.
For Lin Yuan, there would be no loss.
He had taken the Nightmare Fruit as a trial.
Even if he failed in the end, it was within his expectations.
If he succeeded, it would be a great gain and benefit.
"Back."
Lin Yuan's true self quickly returned to the chaotic void.
He also brought back the treasures collected by the Taiji Primordial Spirit over the past few centuries.
"The spoils are too numerous."
Lin Yuan felt elated.
Apart from the most precious Nightmare Fruit,
there were also a large number of dimensional rarities collected by the Taiji Primordial Spirit.
These dimensional rarities were not particularly valuable to true Thirteenth Rank Time Beings.
However, Lin Yuan was not yet a Thirteenth Rank.
Suddenly having wealth equivalent to dozens of times his previous assets naturally made him very happy.
"Once the Taiji Primordial Spirit returns, I can open up an infinite particles world for the primordial spirit." Lin Yuan, now wealthy, was no longer content with just opening an infinite particles world for his true self.
The strength of the primordial spirit was also a part of himself; the stronger the primordial spirit, the stronger he would be.
"Some of the leftovers can be thrown into the human civilization's treasure vault for the human evolvers to redeem." Lin Yuan thought to himself.
These leftovers were not very useful to Lin Yuan, not even enough to open a single particles world.
However, in the eyes of countless human evolvers, they were unprecedentedly precious resources, legendary rarities and treasures.
Even for Twelfth Rank evolvers, they were unseen treasures. Even the most supreme Sages in the Chaotic Realm could only explore the dimensional gaps around the chaotic void, unable to go further.
The spoils Lin Yuan brought back this time were obtained from regions that these supreme Sages had never explored in their lifetimes.
"Nightmare Fruit."
Lin Yuan looked at the greatest gain from this journey.
Other spoils were not particularly valuable to Thirteenth Rank Time Beings.
But this Nightmare Fruit, even for powerful Time Beings, was highly coveted.
This was evident from the planning and layout of 'Qianmian Chuan' and 'Linghan Gui.'
Time Beings had high standards; without sufficient value, they would not take such actions.
Observing future timelines also required considerable effort. Observing a large number of future timelines for the Nightmare Fruit, excluding various other factors, was a significant investment.
"Refine it."
Lin Yuan did not hesitate.
A precious rarity like the Nightmare Fruit was best used on himself.
As for trading it? He would only consider it if it was no longer useful to him, and even then, he would try to trade it to his own people.
Humming sounds accompanied Lin Yuan's continuous refinement, and a thread of his mind began to sink into layers of nightmares.
Layer upon layer of nightmares continuously honed Lin Yuan's mental will, making it, which had long stagnated, rapidly improve once again.
While refining the Nightmare Fruit,
Lin Yuan also studied the other six Thirteenth Rank legacies created by 'Mo Xu Jun.'
These six Thirteenth Rank legacies, standing alongside 'Infinite Void,' were what 'Mo Xu Jun' believed to be the path of a Time Lord.
"Soul Illusion Realm?"
Lin Yuan spent a few days to fully comprehend it.
At Lin Yuan's current level, these six legacies representing the ultimate in six areas were not very useful.
Because everything that could be improved had already been improved. With Lin Yuan's infinite particles world nurturing his soul and mind, the latter had already reached its peak, with limited room for further improvement.
However, even if they were not very useful, they still had some reference value.
"Mo Xu Jun's path has great potential. Once he can become a Time Lord, he will likely be among the most powerful."
Lin Yuan made this evaluation.
However, advancing in all seven areas to cross into the Lord level was very difficult.
The seven legacies, including 'Infinite Void' and 'Soul Illusion Realm,' all required the creation of a theoretical seventh layer.
Currently, 'Mo Xu Jun' had not created any of them, making him still far from becoming a Time Lord.
"Mind Will? Soul? Physical Body?"
Lin Yuan carefully studied and integrated the core essences of the six legacies into his own path.
In the second Origin World,
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
"Martial Dao."
Lin Yuan's gaze was deep as he looked at the entire Origin World.
Ten thousand years ago, in the transaction Lin Yuan made with the Eternal Sect, one of the terms was the dissemination of a branch of his martial evolution path.
Although the second Origin World had suffered from a demonic disaster, drastically reducing the number of cultivators,
it was still a whole Origin World.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
After over ten thousand years of development,
the Martial Dao had flourished among the great holy sects.
Countless cultivators embarked on the path of martial arts, continuously reinforcing the 'anchor.'
"The other two true selves have basically completed the opening of their infinite particles worlds, and the sixth layer of 'Infinite Void' is also fully cultivated. Only the third level of the Chaotic Taiji Dao is left, and then I can attempt to advance to the Thirteenth Rank."
Lin Yuan silently thought to himself.
Regarding the specific trials of the time loop when advancing to the Thirteenth Rank, Lin Yuan could not observe them through future timelines.
The time loop involves the supreme rules governing the countless dimensions and is at least equivalent to the Fourteenth Rank level.
It is shrouded by the invisible supreme rules.
A Thirteenth Rank Time Being cannot penetrate this layer of concealment.
If Thirteenth Rank Time Beings could break through this concealment, they would not be so rare.
"With my current preparations, I am steady."
Lin Yuan was confident.
The countless martial cultivators across the chaotic void, the first Origin World, and the second Origin World, forming an 'anchor,' made Lin Yuan's foundation extremely solid.
Apart from these, there were many lower-level dimensions, the ones Lin Yuan initially traversed, where martial cultivation had also been widely spread.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had comprehended myriad laws and paths, and with his understanding of one law, he could understand a hundred. Even if he encountered an unfamiliar trial, he could quickly find a way to pass it.
Finally, his mastery of the essence of runes allowed him to activate them with a thought, even within the time loop.
"Perhaps my near-certain advancement to the Thirteenth Rank is due to these thorough preparations?"
Lin Yuan silently pondered.
Outside the chaotic void.
In the mysterious dimensional gap.
After several centuries of travel.
The Taiji Primordial Spirit finally arrived at the location of the Yin-Yang Twin Flowers.
"Still no time line involving Time Beings. It's settled."
Lin Yuan looked at the distant 'spectacle.'
A towering ice mountain stood there, radiating an extremely cold and yin energy that could completely freeze a Chaos Realm Perfect Supreme Sage.
Next to it was a crimson volcano, emitting a vast and scorching yang energy that spread in all directions.
The yin cold and yang heat continuously collided and dissolved, gradually forming a region where yin and yang coexisted around the ice mountain and volcano.
Here, yin was yang, and yang was yin.
"Dimensional gaps are truly wondrous."
Lin Yuan marveled that such a large-scale coexistence of yin and yang could be formed.
Although yin and yang both evolved from chaos, these two opposing energies are almost impossible to fuse without the right methods.
Lin Yuan's Taiji Dao was only slightly formed after thoroughly comprehending the Supreme Yang and Supreme Yin. It underwent numerous transformations through his travels.
The current yin-yang coexistence phenomenon, though different from the Taiji Dao, shared many similarities and provided significant guidance.
"The Yin-Yang Twin Flowers, born in the coexistence range of the ice mountain and volcano."
Lin Yuan looked at the area where the yin and yang forces intersected, where a flower containing both yin and yang energies was blooming.
The ice mountain and volcano had also given birth to many powerful life forms. These life forms were naturally strong, capable of surviving in an environment that could freeze and kill ordinary Supreme Sages.
"Taking action is fine."
Before acting, Lin Yuan, to be safe, reviewed the future timelines many times.
In reality, the ice mountain and volcano had not reached the Thirteenth Rank level. Time Beings, if they encountered them, would not bother to act.
However, the path Lin Yuan was on was quite similar. The ice mountain and volcano, born in the dimensional gap, contained a trace of supreme rules, making them useful to him.
Swish.
Lin Yuan extended his hand.
Toward the distant ice mountain and volcano.
Inside the ice mountain and volcano.
Countless yin and yang life forms looked at the yin-yang intersection with fervent eyes.
"Saint Flower, the Saint Flower is blooming."
Many yin and yang life forms watched the slowly blooming Yin-Yang Twin Flowers, unable to contain their excitement and shouted.
The Yin-Yang Twin Flowers also contained yin and yang energies, making them sacred to both yin and yang life forms, deserving of reverence.
At that moment—
Countless yin and yang life forms suddenly noticed that the sky in the dimensional gap had darkened.
A massive hand, capable of blocking out the sun, slowly reached toward the ice mountain and volcano.
The ice mountain and volcano continuously emitted cold and heat, but in front of that massive hand, they offered no resistance.
Lin Yuan retracted his right hand, and the towering ice mountain and volcano obediently floated in his palm.
The Yin-Yang Twin Flowers were now in his possession.
