Chapter 785: Ascending the Jade Staircase
Chapter 785: Ascending the Jade Staircase
"The White Jade Staircase?"
Lin Yuan carefully observed the seemingly endless white jade staircase, each step meticulously crafted.
Compared to the two previous encounters with the White Jade Staircase—once in a dream and another in a future vision—this time, the staircase stood before him in vivid clarity, adorned with intricate engravings that seemed to unravel the ultimate essence of the Infinite Dimensional Plane.
"Currently, there aren't many Legendary Lords who have embarked on climbing this White Jade Staircase."
Lin Yuan glanced around, and although the Ascension energy that formed the staircase permeated the entire dimensional realm, many Legendary Lords had not rushed to the scene.
There were those like Lin Yuan who were slightly late.
And there were others who were even later.
Moreover, the number of White Jade Staircases totaled thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three.
This, to a large extent, had dispersed the attention of numerous Legendary Lords.
"In my future, millions of years from now, I will be climbing this Ascension Path?"
Lin Yuan's curiosity stirred within him as he recalled the vision of his future self in the Multidimensional Space, ascending step by step.
"Let's begin."
After a moment's thought, Lin Yuan stepped onto the White Jade Staircase.
As Lin Yuan's right foot touched the first step, he immediately felt a tremor in the Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao he had comprehended.
"This is..."
Lin Yuan's Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao state began to elevate, and in that vague moment, it seemed to be transforming towards the Supreme Rule Dao.
Even though Lin Yuan had already learned about the benefits of climbing the White Jade Staircase from the Purple Light Legendary Lord, he couldn't help but feel exhilarated at this moment.
Whether it was the Perfect Time Life, the Time Lord, or even the Legendary Lords, they had only comprehended the Primordial Chaos Origin Dao.
As for the Supreme Rule Dao? It was the foundation that sustained the Infinite Dimensional Plane, and if it had a concrete will, it would be the fourteen-tier Perfect Time Life overseeing the Infinite Dimensional Plane.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Rule Dao did not possess a will; the so-called Supreme Rule Dao Will was more like an innate ability, devoid of any conscious thought.
It was similar to the 'intelligence' in a technological dimensional space.
"I've only glimpsed the direction; I'm still far from completely transforming into the Supreme Rule Dao."
Lin Yuan's thoughts became more focused.
Of course, even just glimpsing the direction was extremely significant.
Below the Time Lord, the path of cultivation was arduous, but there was still guidance to follow.
However, after comprehending the Primordial Chaos Origin Dao."
Triple Realm Lords explore various Ascension Paths at this stage because, fundamentally, their cultivation is akin to groping in endless darkness.
A moment of negligence could lead to a fatal fall.
Before the endless White Jade Staircase appeared, numerous Lords had perished on various Ascension Paths.
Especially on the three mainstream Ascension Paths, over the long years, countless Lords had been buried, including many exceptionally talented individuals who were on the verge of reaching the end of a particular Ascension Path.
"Compression Distortion Force?"
Not long after stepping onto the first step of the White Jade Staircase, Lin Yuan not only felt the tremors in his Primordial Chaos Origin Dao but also sensed a faint Compression Distortion Force enveloping him.
This Compression Distortion Force targeted not only his physical body and soul but also his mind and will.
However, with Lin Yuan's current strength, blocking this Compression Distortion Force was relatively easy.
"I can't be careless."
Lin Yuan's expression turned slightly solemn.
Currently, the Compression Distortion Force wasn't strong, but as he continued climbing the endless White Jade Staircase, this force would keep intensifying.
This information had been overheard by the Purple Light Legendary Lord from the first batch of Legendary Lords who began climbing the White Jade Staircase.
"Continue."
After pausing for a few breaths on the first step, Lin Yuan stepped onto the second step of the White Jade Staircase.
To step onto the next step, one had to not only resist the Compression Distortion Force but also thoroughly comprehend their Primordial Chaos Origin Dao to the extreme of the current step.
The purpose of the White Jade Staircase was to establish a path from one's Primordial Chaos Origin Dao to the Supreme Rule Dao, but walking on this path still required one's own efforts.
As time passed, while climbing the endless White Jade Staircase, Lin Yuan occasionally encountered other Legendary Lords.
Compared to Lin Yuan, these Legendary Lords often lingered on a single step for tens or even hundreds of breaths before moving to the next step.
Therefore, even the first batch to step onto the endless Jade Stairs was surpassed by Lin Yuan in just a few days.
On the endless Jade Stairs.
Lin Yuan climbed at a steady pace, his mind deep in contemplation.
"Climbing this Jade Staircase indeed gradually transforms the Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao."
A path of black and white intertwined appeared in Lin Yuan's gaze, "Any Primordial Chaos Origin Path extends from the Supreme Rule Dao, giving birth to one, one to two, two to three, and three to myriad things. The Supreme Rule Dao is that Dao, and even the 'zero' and 'source' above the Dao can be risky, as the Supreme Rule Dao Will may not be able to interfere with everything on the Jade Staircase, a conclusion Lin Yuan easily draws.
Climbing the Jade Stairs not only transforms Lin Yuan's Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao but also significantly enhances his understanding of the essence of the Dao.
"Why did this Jade Staircase appear? The Ascension Power? Does Ascension Power also have a source? Which Ascension existence is responsible for this?"
Lin Yuan's mind fills with numerous doubts.
He is certain that the Jade Stairs do not originate from the Supreme Rule Dao Will.
Standing on the Jade Stairs, Lin Yuan finds it difficult to sense the Supreme Rule Dao Will.
The Supreme Rule Dao Will cannot interfere with anything on the Jade Stairs, a conclusion Lin Yuan readily makes.
If the Jade Stairs do not originate from the Supreme Rule Dao Will, they must come from another Ascension existence. But why would an Ascension existence release such a path to Ascension?
To nurture another Ascension existence? In the Dimensional Space, Time Beings cultivate new Time Beings to prepare for the post-Great Annihilation scenario.
The Vast Dimensional Gap is boundless, and even Time Beings need to unite, hence the need to cultivate new Time Beings.
But why would an Ascension existence do this?
Why cultivate a new Ascension? Do Ascension existences have enemies?
Lin Yuan shakes his head slightly, as Ascension is Supreme and the pinnacle of all, the source of everything.
How could there be enemies?
"Regardless of the Ascension existence's motives, the transformation of the Primordial Chaos Taiji Dao is genuine. Understanding it thoroughly is a gain."
Lin Yuan focuses his mind, setting aside all thoughts and devoting his entire being to climbing the Jade Stairs.
For the exploration of the 'Infinite Tribulation' Ascension path, Lin Yuan sets aside the exploration of the Source World, focusing solely on the Jade Stairs.
The 'Infinite Tribulation' Ascension path has existed for countless years, and as long as the Supreme Rule Dao Will exists, this Ascension path is likely to continue indefinitely.
As for the various Source Worlds, they can wait.
Only this Jade Staircase, who knows when it might disappear? Compared to the 'Infinite Tribulation' and other Ascension paths, the 'Endless Jade Staircase' is pitifully low-risk.
At least for now, there seems to be almost no risk, at most a slightly slower climbing speed.
This is why the formation of 33,333 Jade Stairs attracted the attention of nearly all Legendary Lords.
It encompasses the advantages of the 'Infinite Tribulation' while having no apparent drawbacks.
No wonder it drives countless Legendary Lords wild.
"Huff—"
A figure as large as a small mountain stands on a step for a long time, finally slowly stepping down to the next step.
"My Primordial Chaos Mountain Dao." The small mountain-like figure, named 'Mountain Lord,' is a Legendary Lord who has crossed a hundred million Tribulations. He is excited at this moment.
Any Legendary Lord, upon seeing the direction of the Ascension path, would feel the same. It is their ultimate goal.
"I can feel that as my Primordial Chaos Mountain Dao continues to transform, one day it will become a new Supreme Rule Dao, and then I, 'Mountain Lord,' will become a new Supreme Rule Dao."

As the small mountain-like figure's thoughts scatter.
Suddenly, his expression changes slightly.
"Hmm?"
Mountain Lord slightly twists his body, looking down at himself.
Below the steps, a figure appears, slowly but steadily climbing towards his direction.
"Such a fast staircase-crossing speed?"
Mountain Lord's expression shifts slightly. In just a few dozen breaths, the figure has climbed nearly ten steps, averaging one step in a few breaths.
This climbing speed contrasts sharply with Mountain Lord's current pace of hundreds or even thousands of breaths per step and the days he spends at bottlenecks.
"Is it the Galaxy?"
Mountain Lord immediately recognizes Lin Yuan's identity.
(End of this Chapter)
For over ten million years, Lin Yuan had made a name for himself, despite his limited appearances. Especially his terrifying future incarnation, which made many powerful Legendary Lords wary of him.
"Mountain Lord?"
Lin Yuan had noticed the Mountain Lord long ago, but the White Jade Staircase was a one-way path, and eventually, the two would cross paths.
"I've heard much about the Galactic Lord, and now that I see him, his reputation is indeed well-deserved." The Mountain Lord paused for a moment, then stopped and looked at Lin Yuan, he said, "Galactic Lord, you go first."
"Thank you."
Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Although there were no explicit rules, the Endless White Jade Staircase was an Ascension Path. Ultimately, the number of Lords who could achieve Ascension through this path was limited.
It was impossible for every Lord to achieve Ascension this way.
In other words, the Lords who stepped onto the White Jade Staircase were, in the strictest sense, in a 'competitive' relationship.
The Mountain Lord's voluntary retreat surprised Lin Yuan.
The Mountain Lord, a small mountain in size, watched Lin Yuan's climbing figure and thought to himself, "There are many Lords ahead of me, and one more 'Galaxy' won't make much difference."
As a Legendary Lord who had endured two hundred and fifty million Tribulations, the Mountain Lord did not expect to rely on the White Jade Staircase for Ascension. There were many more powerful Legendary Lords than him.
What the Mountain Lord hoped for was to use the Endless White Jade Staircase to perfect his Primordial Chaos Origin Path.
For example, some Lords who followed the 'Infinite Origin' path were also willing to explore the 'Endless Tribulations' Ascension Path to enhance their strength.
Time passed quickly as Lin Yuan climbed, surpassing a Legendary Lord ahead of him.
As Lin Yuan caught up, the Lords ahead of him became increasingly hostile.
"Muddy River Lord?"
Lin Yuan glanced at the Legendary Lord in the distance and recognized his name.
The Muddy River Lord was a Legendary Lord who had endured two hundred and fifty million Tribulations. Among the many Legendary Lords, he was considered extremely powerful. Even the Multidimensional Lord who opened up the Multidimensional Space was no match for him.
"On this White Jade Staircase, the only Legendary Lord ahead of me is the Dark Star Lord. Once I surpass him, my chances of Ascension are still quite high."
The Muddy River Lord thought to himself. The Dark Star Lord's strength was similar to his, and he was ahead only because he had stepped onto the White Jade Staircase earlier.
"Ascension?"
The Muddy River Lord's heart raced.
In the endless dimensional realm, countless Legendary Lords more powerful than him had fallen on the Ascension Path.
However, at this moment, the Muddy River Lord's chances of Ascension were greater than those ancient Legendary Lords.
"The White Jade Staircase can only be climbed by Legendary Lords of the current spacetime. Legendary Lords from past and future spacetimes cannot sense it, and even information about the White Jade Staircase is concealed."
"This is a great opportunity for our spacetime."
The Muddy River Lord took a deep breath and was about to continue climbing.
Just then.
The Muddy River Lord glanced down.
"Galaxy?"
The Muddy River Lord frowned. He quickly judged that Lin Yuan's climbing speed would surpass him sooner or later.
And the information he had about the 'Galaxy' made him wary, but it was just wariness.
"This is my chance for Ascension!"
The Muddy River Lord looked down at Lin Yuan. He still had hopes of catching up to the Dark Star Lord ahead, but if Lin Yuan surpassed him, the gap between them would only widen.
"No existence can be allowed to disrupt this."
The Muddy River Lord's gaze turned dangerous.
He was wary of the 'Galaxy' Lord, not fearful. Even if he became more powerful in the future, how could he stand by and watch as someone surpassed him in the race for Ascension?
