Chapter 762: Three Methods
Chapter 762: Three Methods
The three Immortal Emperors had no idea about Lin Yuan's true cultivation realm.
Upon reaching the Thirteenth Rank of Time Beings, the difference in cultivation levels became less discernible.
For instance, it was impossible to determine if a Time Being had comprehended their Origin Path without them actively demonstrating it.
Normally, one could only judge by the Time Being's strength. Lin Yuan's previous strength was comparable to an Immortal King, and he had also comprehended the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao.
Theoretically, it was impossible for a Mortal Immortal in the First Stage to achieve such feats.
As for observing Lin Yuan's past and future timelines? With the blessing of Lordhood, even Immortal Emperors would find it challenging to fully understand, and any forceful attempt would undoubtedly attract Lin Yuan's attention.
Time Beings were extremely sensitive about their past timelines. If the three Immortal Emperors forcibly peered into Lin Yuan's past, aside from the uncertainty of seeing what they wanted, they would undoubtedly offend Lin Yuan.
This would be a loss.
It was enough to confirm that Lin Yuan was born in the Vast Chaos Source World.
Although the three Immortal Emperors were shocked that Lin Yuan was not an Immortal King in the Second Stage, it was only a slight surprise. Their true focus was on the newly born Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao.
"This Chaos Origin Dao is more perfect than any Origin Path I know, and it's not inferior to those Innate Chaos Origin Daos," the Immortal Emperor on the right exclaimed, his heart stirred.
The Innate Chaos Origin Daos were fundamental paths like the Chaos Origin Annihilation Dao and Chaos Origin Spacetime Dao, which supported the operation of the Endless Dimensional Realm.
While this Innate Chaos Origin Dao might not surpass the Chaos Origin Daos comprehended by some Immortal Kings in the Second Stage or even Immortal Emperors in terms of pure might, it was undoubtedly the most perfect. It could be applied to all dimensions and realms. For example, the Chaos Origin Spacetime Dao could be further divided into the Chaos Spacetime Dao, and then into the Spacetime Dao, Spacetime Rules, Time Rules, and Space Rules.
Every corner of the Endless Dimensional Realm bore traces of the Chaos Origin Spacetime Dao; it was flawless and influenced every aspect, something that the Post-Innate Chaos Origin Daos couldn't achieve.
The Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao gave the three Immortal Emperors a similar feeling, perfect in a way that resembled the Innate Chaos Origin Daos.
"I wonder what the outcome would be if this kind of Dao was used to strive for a Perfect Time Life," the Immortal Emperor on the left mused, his eyes slightly heated.
Whether one could become a Perfect Time Life depended on their chosen path, which was determined at the beginning of their cultivation journey.
Although there had yet to be a Time Lord who successfully became a Perfect Time Life, there was no standard for what kind of path could transcend to the Fourteenth Rank.
According to the thoughts of each Time Lord, the more perfect their chosen path, the better.
The Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao that Lin Yuan had comprehended was the most perfect Chaos Origin Dao the three Immortal Emperors had ever seen.
"A Perfect Time Life," the Immortal Emperor on the right murmured, deep in thought.
The path of every Time Being was set, and even if Lin Yuan's Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao was perfect, it had nothing to do with their paths.
However, witnessing the birth of a truly Perfect Time Life would be a hope for Time Lords like them, at least proving that their direction was correct.
The ultimate pursuit of Time Lords was to break free from the grand destiny and transcend all restraints.
Becoming a Perfect Time Life meant completely dominating one's fate and transcending all constraints.
"The choice of which path to transcend is not for us to decide."
Just then, the Three Lives Immortal Emperor spoke up, having silently observed the operation of the Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao.
"Now, let's go and meet Tianyuan."
The Three Lives Immortal Emperor suggested.
"Yes, it's time to meet him," the two Immortal Emperors on either side nodded.
Initially, they had planned to wait until Lin Yuan became an Immortal Emperor before meeting him.
But now? Although Lin Yuan wasn't an Immortal Emperor, the three Immortal Emperors had no doubt that he was no weaker than an Immortal Emperor.
Even before comprehending his Chaos Origin Dao, he had achieved the strength of an Immortal King and approached the level of an Immortal Emperor.
Now that he had comprehended the Chaos Origin Dao, and such a perfect Chaos Origin Dao at that, his life essence had transformed again, entering the realm of an Immortal Emperor was only natural.
At the end of Lin Yuan's Immortal Path, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Dao circulated, causing the Binding Compression Force from the Illusory World to retreat.
"Is this my chosen path?" Lin Yuan's heart was filled with joy. The Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao was the culmination of his efforts since embarking on the path of cultivation.
It was the embodiment of all Dao Fruits.
While the physical body and soul might dissipate, the Chaos Origin Dao would not.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's expression flickered as he sensed three immense consciousnesses descending from afar, and he immediately restrained his Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao.
The next moment, three figures appeared not far from Lin Yuan.
"We pay our respects to the Immortal Emperor," Lin Yuan bowed slightly, showing respect.
Although his current strength might be on par with the three Immortal Emperors,
Their method of opening an Immortal Path was something Lin Yuan greatly admired.
Regardless of the other motives of the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor at the beginning, such as cultivating and collaborating with peers to delve deeper into the Illusory World.
But by openly revealing their Immortal Paths, acknowledging the existence of the Illusory World, and leading numerous Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings to contemplate, they had brought about tangible benefits.
Countless Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings had benefited from this.
Even Lin Yuan had gained a lot; without the insights from the Illusory World, his comprehension of the Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao would have been significantly delayed.
"There's no need for such formality between us."
The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor, standing in the middle, smiled and said, "My name is 'Three Epochs'. From now on, you can just call me Three Epochs."
"My name is 'Wu Yu'."
"I am 'Dao You'."
The Immortal Emperors on either side spoke in a friendly tone.
"I am Tianyuan," Lin Yuan nodded.
The three Immortal Emperors of the Vast Chaos Source World were Three Epochs, Wu Yu, and Dao You.
Among them, the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor was also the first Immortal Emperor and the discoverer of the Illusory World.
As for Wu Yu and Dao You, they were Immortal Emperors who were born after the main Immortal Path was opened.
The three Immortal Emperors descended in their will incarnations, and the aura they unknowingly emanated caused the surrounding spacetime to become chaotic. The Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings who had been observing from a distance suddenly felt their pupils constrict.
"Immortal Emperors, three Immortal Emperors have come to meet Tianyuan."
The Mortal Immortals understood, and they quickly began to discuss among themselves.
The three Immortal Emperors had most of their attention focused on locking onto the Illusory World, and even if a major event occurred, they would only directly contact those few peak Immortal Kings.
As for personally descending in their will incarnations, no one knew how long it had been since they last appeared.
"Tianyuan."
The Cycle Immortal King, Bai Bin Immortal King, and Witch Immortal King glanced at each other.
The three Immortal Emperors had personally arrived, and they had also released a model.
This meant that Lin Yuan was already capable of matching the Immortal Emperors.
If it weren't for this, the three Immortal Emperors wouldn't have come together; even if a significant event occurred, the appearance of one Immortal Emperor's will incarnation would have been sufficient.
Why did all three need to come?
The three Immortal Emperors' arrival together primarily demonstrated their respect for Lin Yuan.
Thinking of this, the Cycle Immortal King and the other Immortal Kings felt a sense of admiration. They still remembered Lin Yuan's initial journey on the Immortal Path, and now, after such a short time, he had reached the level of an Immortal Emperor.
"Tianyuan, which Origin Path of Chaos did you comprehend?"
Dao You Immortal Emperor was quite curious.
The Three Epochs and Wu Yu Immortal Emperors also looked at Lin Yuan.
"I call it the Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao," Lin Yuan replied without hiding anything. He lifted his hand, and the black and white Yin-Yang Taiji forces continuously intertwined and collided.
The Chaos Origin Tai Chi Dao was something he had comprehended, and other Time Beings couldn't take it away from him.
Moreover, as the pioneer of this Origin Path, even if other lifeforms walked this path in the future, they would still be under his control.
"Remarkable," the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor said, carefully observing the interplay of black and white Yin-Yang Taiji forces and nodding slightly.
The higher the cultivation realm, the more admiration one had for such an Origin Path. At the very least, the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor himself would never be able to comprehend a path of this caliber.
"Without the guidance of this Illusory World, I wouldn't have been able to comprehend it," Lin Yuan said.
"So many Mortal Immortals have received guidance for countless years, yet none have comprehended this Origin Path," Wu Yu Immortal Emperor smiled, implying that guidance is only as good as the person receiving it.
The Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao couldn't be comprehended through guidance alone.
"Tianyuan, what method did you use to conceal your timeline?" Wu Yu Immortal Emperor asked with a smile.
"I obtained a Lordhood through a fortuitous encounter," Lin Yuan replied.
Lordhood was invaluable to First Stage and Second Stage Time Beings, but it wasn't much in the eyes of Immortal Emperors of the same level.
With Lin Yuan's current strength, there was no need to worry; he could easily protect his Lordhood.
"I see," Wu Yu Immortal Emperor nodded.
He was still curious about what method Lin Yuan had used to achieve such a degree of concealment for his timeline.
It was worth noting that Lin Yuan wasn't even an Immortal Emperor before, not even an Immortal King, and the three Immortal Emperors hadn't sensed anything amiss.
"I see you've already condensed your Past Body. How does it feel?" The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor asked, looking at Lin Yuan.
"It's profoundly mysterious," Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn, knowing that the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor before him was the source of the ninth type of physical divine technique.
Even the Past Body is just one of the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor's techniques, and there's an even more abstruse Future Body.
"The Past Body uses the present body as a foundation and anchor, gathering the past body in the past timeline. Once successfully condensed, it will make grasping one's own timeline easier, extending from the past to the present and into the future."
The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor looked at Lin Yuan, "However, the threshold to condense the Past Body is extremely high and heavily reliant on innate talent. I once passed down a related legacy, but no sentient being has ever cultivated it."
Lin Yuan listened attentively.
The condensation of the Past Body primarily relies on the fundamental power deep within one's bloodline, which is what the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor refers to as 'talent.'
Of course, Lin Yuan's extraordinary comprehension also plays a significant role. Without such comprehension, even if one awakens the related spiritual insights, it would take an immeasurable amount of time to fully condense it.
"For us, the Past Body has an even more important role, related to the path of transcendence. You'll understand when the time comes." The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor spoke with profound meaning.
"Path of transcendence?" Lin Yuan's curiosity piqued.
He knew that the ultimate pursuit of Time Lords was transcendence—transcendence of fate and freedom from constraints.
Currently, Lin Yuan only knew that Time Lords sought transcendence by advancing to the Fourteenth Rank and becoming a Perfect Time Life.
A Perfect Time Life could shape the past, present, and future, which was true great transcendence and freedom.
However, the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor implied that there were other methods of transcendence beyond becoming a Perfect Time Life.
Or perhaps the Past Body also aids in becoming a Perfect Time Life? Lin Yuan's thoughts fluctuated. The path of transcendence, even at the Lord Rank, was still a secret that Lin Yuan had yet to uncover.
The only Time Lord he had encountered so far was the Light Master, who hadn't left much information about it.
"Since you've condensed the Past Body, how is your contemplation of the Future Body going?" The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor asked with great interest.
His Three Lives Technique involved the Past, Present, and Future Bodies, and until now, no one had inherited it.
"I haven't made much progress yet," Lin Yuan replied.
Compared to the Past Body, the Future Body was even more abstruse and challenging. However, after comprehending the Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao, Lin Yuan vaguely felt that his grasp of the future had improved significantly.
If he continued to condense the Future Body, it would likely be much simpler.
"These are my insights into the Future Body," the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor said, flipping his right hand, and a crystal floated and drifted towards Lin Yuan.
"Thank you," Lin Yuan said, his heart stirring slightly as his consciousness delved into the crystal. Instantly, a vast amount of information about the Future Body flooded into his mind, along with knowledge about the Past and Present Bodies, and a complete Three Lives Technique.
"These insights are of great help to me," Lin Yuan said earnestly.
At this moment, he felt like he could attempt to condense the Future Body right away.
"Just one look and it's of great help?" The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor was slightly puzzled but didn't think much of it, assuming Lin Yuan was merely moved.
In reality, even if the Three Lives Technique he founded were made public for Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings to contemplate, it wouldn't hold much significance because no one could cultivate it.
The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor himself only founded the Three Lives Technique after becoming an Immortal Emperor and gaining clarity about the past and future.
"If you can successfully condense the Future Body, by unifying the Past, Present, and Future Bodies, you can explore towards the infinite past origin timeline node." The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor explained.
"Explore towards the infinite past origin timeline node?" Lin Yuan was a bit confused.
"Yes," the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor nodded, as if understanding Lin Yuan's confusion. "This is also a path of transcendence, known as 'Infinite Origin'."
"It is said that at the origin of time, the birthplace of all things, lies the ultimate secret of endless dimensional realms. Reaching there also leads to transcendence." The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor spoke, gazing at Lin Yuan.
Time Lords can travel back along the temporal line to the past, and in theory, they can reach the origin of the temporal line, the infinite dimensional realm origin node.
"Transcendence?" Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn.
The method of transcendence he knew of was becoming a Perfect Time Life, which was also the path chosen by the Light Master.
However, the Three Epochs Immortal Emperor mentioned another path of transcendence—Infinite Origin!
"There are three methods for our transcendence, or three paths to choose from." The Three Epochs Immortal Emperor said, "One is Infinite Origin, another is Perfect Life, and the third is 'Infinite Tribulation'."
