Chapter 263
🕑 Added 2024-08-19 04:00:01 +0000 UTC"Is this actually a kind of cosmic power?"
Lin Yuan observed repeatedly and finally came to a conclusion.
The innate purple energy mastered by the old man in purple robes, when placed in the main world, could only be mastered by an invincible entity at the eighth rank, which is a form of cosmic power.
"I see."
Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized.
No wonder the Immortal Kings of the Spirit Realm could rival eighth-rank Evolvers from the main world without the support of an internal world.
The internal worlds of eighth-rank Evolvers extend a force known as world power, which allows human Evolvers to catch up with those innately powerful special life forms.
Very few forces at the same level can match the enhancement that world power brings to Evolvers.
But cosmic power is definitely one of them.
In fact, the increase in combat power caused by cosmic power surpasses that of world power.
The innate purple energy mastered by the old man in purple robes is only a partial power, and once fully mastered, it can rival the peak eighth-rank Evolvers even without world power.
"Those supreme Immortal Kings, without an internal world, can still rival the invincible eighth rank, and the power they master must belong to higher cosmic power."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The invincible entities of the eighth rank in the main world are also divided into strong and weak. Although the strongest cannot defeat the weakest, they can suppress them. The difference lies in the variation of cosmic power.
Some cosmic powers are simply stronger than others, and the former are referred to as higher cosmic powers.
"Opportunity."
"This is my greatest opportunity from this journey!"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. What was the greatest help brought to him by this eighth journey? Was it developing the eighth rank of martial arts?
No.
The eighth rank can be developed and perfected anywhere.
Even without the journey, in the main world, as long as Lin Yuan had time, he could develop it just the same.
Understanding the model of space rules?
It's not much different from developing the eighth rank of martial arts.
It wasn't necessarily tied to the Spirit Realm.
Before knowing that the power mastered by the Immortal Kings was equivalent to cosmic power.
The greatest help that the journey to the Spirit Realm provided Lin Yuan was saving time and referencing the Immortal Dao cultivation system and other cultivation systems.
But now.
After confirming the essence of the power of creation.
Lin Yuan was extremely certain that the power of creation was his greatest gain.
An irreplaceable, unparalleled gain.
In the universe of the main world, each cosmic power is unique, cannot be replicated or simulated.
Once a strong individual comprehends a certain cosmic power, subsequent beings cannot comprehend it.
This is a rule of the main world.
The "rules" here are not the rules of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and light.
But the "limitations" from the main world.
For instance, all life below the strongest one has a lifespan limit.
This is also a rule of the main world.
There is also the speed limit in the universe, the speed of light. Once you exceed the speed of light, you enter a wormhole.
These are also rules of the main world.
"The 'limitations' of the main world do not apply in the Spirit Realm, at least not regarding cosmic power. The Spirit Realm is much more lenient, without the rule that a certain power of creation can only be mastered by one Immortal King."
Lin Yuan's heart was slightly excited. This meant that in the Spirit Realm, he could fully comprehend a large number of powers of creation.
Then return to the main world, where these powers of creation would collectively transform into cosmic powers.
In the long history of the main world's starry sky, many invincible eighth ranks have been born, but the vast majority of them only master one cosmic power.
A very few, due to various accidents, mastered two cosmic powers, which is already the limit.
For a normal eighth-rank powerhouse, there are two goals: to step into the ninth rank or to master a certain cosmic power.
But for an invincible eighth-rank, there is only one goal, and that is to step into the ninth rank.
Only by breaking through to the ninth rank can their lifespan be extended, and continuing to comprehend other cosmic powers is not only foolish but also uncertain to succeed.
The comprehension of each cosmic power involves a degree of luck without a fixed direction. How can you be sure that the direction you choose to comprehend will lead to a cosmic power?
This was the key to Lin Yuan's excitement.
Without discovering the essence of the power of creation, even if he knew the Spirit Realm had fewer restrictions on cosmic power.
He wouldn't have had any other thoughts.
Comprehending more cosmic powers? One must know that before understanding the rules of Yang and Yin, Lin Yuan himself didn't know that the power of Tai Chi would be a cosmic power.
Even with unrivaled insight, attempting to comprehend another cosmic power would waste a lot of time, slowing down or even halting Lin Yuan's comprehension in other areas.
But now.
With a clear path of comprehending the power of creation, Lin Yuan only needed to spend time comprehending and feeling it, just like the path of evolution.
In the Spirit Realm, comprehending a power of creation, when returned to the main world, would become a unique cosmic power.
"Innate purple energy. Human civilization's records of many invincible eighth ranks do not show anyone mastering this cosmic power."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, although it's possible there might be unrecorded invincible eighth ranks who mastered the innate purple energy, the probability is low. Moreover, Lin Yuan's goal was not just this cosmic power, but also the other powers of creation mastered by the Immortal Kings.
"Human civilization's explanation of cosmic power is that it greatly aids stepping into the ninth rank in the future. Theoretically, the more cosmic powers one masters, the greater this aid, but it's ultimately just a theory."
Lin Yuan silently thought.
A normal eighth-rank Evolver, no matter how extraordinarily talented, can at most master one cosmic power, at best two. As for more?
It has never happened.
Because it's unrealistic.
"Comprehending a power of creation is very difficult for other Immortal Kings. With that time, it's better to deepen their understanding of the already mastered power of creation, but I have unrivaled insight. It's just a matter of time."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
He could already imagine, once he returned to the main world, mastering dozens of cosmic powers, combined with his internal world that far surpasses the constraints of human Evolvers.
He might even hope to compete with ninth-rank powerhouses.
Historically, even the most powerful invincible eighth ranks could only survive against ninth-rank powerhouses, let alone compete.
Because the method for invincible eighth ranks to survive against ninth-rank powerhouses is to hold on for a while and then wait for the aid of their ninth-rank peers.
Normally, invincible eighth ranks have no means of resisting against ninth-rank powerhouses.
"First, I need to fully comprehend this strand of innate purple energy."
Lin Yuan gathered his thoughts and began to seriously observe the strand of purple energy in front of him.
[Your insight is unrivaled. You start to try to comprehend the mysterious aura.]
[Your insight is unrivaled. You start to try to comprehend the mysterious aura.]
[Your insight is unrivaled. You start to try to comprehend the mysterious aura.]
According to Lin Yuan's perception of the innate purple energy, this cosmic power is just an ordinary cosmic power, incomparable to higher cosmic powers.
The power he mastered, the power of Tai Chi, should be considered a higher cosmic power, accommodating two extreme rules simultaneously. Whether attacking or defending, it is nearly perfect.
Xiaoyao City.
As an ordinary city in the Xuan King Domain, it recently attracted numerous True Immortal level powerhouses, even some half-step Immortal Kings, all coming to seek an audience with Martial Ancestor.
Whenever there are signs of a Tribulation Immortal King, many strong individuals gather, whether or not they can meet the Immortal King, they approach first.
Many peak True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings, stuck at their current bottleneck for tens of thousands of years, find closed-door cultivation meaningless.
Rather than wandering aimlessly, it's better to try to find traces of Immortal Kings.
There's no loss. If it benefits them, everyone is happy. If not, it's expected.
For this reason.
Xiaoyao City is now full of True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings. Ordinary cultivators walking on the streets might encounter a famous half-step Immortal King.
And these True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings are extremely low-key in Xiaoyao City, not daring to cause trouble under the eyes of an Immortal King.
At the entrance of the Martial Temple.
Three figures walked out.
"So many True Immortals."
"I've never seen so many True Immortals in my life."
Jun Haiqiu and two other juniors of the Jun family widened their eyes, looking at the profound auras in Xiaoyao City.
As one of the three giants of the Xuan King Domain, the Daoist Immortal Sect has only a few dozen True Immortals, but now, there are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of True Immortals in Xiaoyao City.
This doesn't include the half-step Immortal Kings.
And as time goes on, more True Immortals and half-step Immortal Kings continue to arrive.
"The Xuan King Domain, as a large domain, generally has hundreds of True Immortal level powerhouses. The Xuan King Domain is just one of the thousands of large domains in the Dongyun Dao State. Martial Ancestor, as an Immortal King, attracts the attention of True Immortals from dozens or even hundreds of Dao States."
"Hundreds of thousands of True Immortals is nothing. The number will likely exceed a million."
Jun Nangong said in a low voice.
"A million True Immortals."
Jun Yunxun swallowed hard.
"If not for Martial Ancestor, we wouldn't be standing here now," Jun Haiqiu sighed.
They visited Martial Ancestor and quickly met Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan allowed them to stay in the Martial Temple for a while and promised to guide them when he had time.
This treatment would make those half-step Immortal Kings outside envious.
Being able to freely enter and exit the Martial Temple is akin to experiencing the aura of Martial Ancestor up close, a great honor. For those half-step Immortal Kings, being close to an Immortal King is a huge opportunity.
In the cave mansion.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
Inside him, orange flames burned continuously.
After a long time, Lin Yuan's body began to collapse, turning to ashes.
In an instant, his blood rebirth technique operated, and his body rapidly recovered, returning anew.
"I can feel that I am almost done absorbing the orange liquid," Lin Yuan murmured, sensing the enhancement of his body and internal world.
Now, Lin Yuan's internal world is 6.5 times larger than that of a normal eighth-rank Evolver.
Aside from the 3.33 times increase from the red liquid, the orange liquid improved Lin Yuan by 3.2 times.
This is very close to the maximum increase limit of 3.33 times for completely absorbing the orange liquid.
"It's almost time for the third liquid."
Lin Yuan thought silently.
"Moreover, the process of absorbing the first two liquids also enhances my blood rebirth ability"
Lin Yuan smiled.
The blood rebirth technique, as a body technique, also strengthens, though slowly. However, thousands of times absorbing the mysterious gourd liquid, causing the body to collapse and recover, naturally enhances the blood rebirth technique.
"This is a good thing, saving me from redoing it when I return to the main world."
Lin Yuan was in a good mood.
In the Spirit Realm, Lin Yuan spent a hundred years completely absorbing the orange liquid.
But with this hundred years of strengthening his blood rebirth technique, when he returns to the main world, it will take only a few days or at most tens of days to completely absorb the orange liquid.
Because Lin Yuan's understanding of the blood rebirth technique greatly improved, allowing him to endure the burning of the orange flames longer, which will also apply in the main world.
Nine Heaven.
Seventh Heaven.
The Tai Chi primordial spirit ascended, scanning the surroundings.
"First, let's check the Seventh Heaven to see if there are any Immortal Kings."
After learning that the power mastered by the Immortal Kings is equivalent to cosmic power.
Lin Yuan had a great interest in finding other Immortal Kings.
Especially those at the level of supreme Immortal Kings, the power of creation they master might be equivalent to higher cosmic powers.
Comprehending a higher cosmic power will greatly aid Lin Yuan after stepping into the ninth rank, much more than an ordinary cosmic power.
With limited time, Lin Yuan naturally prioritized comprehending higher cosmic powers.
"This level of Heaven."
Lin Yuan released his perception, trying to extend it in all directions.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up as he sensed an Immortal King's aura.
Whoosh.
Lin Yuan flew towards that Immortal King.
Moments later.
Lin Yuan stopped.
Looking ahead.
There stood a towering figure, observing a phenomenon resembling a black hole.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan observed the towering figure, who carried a huge axe. Just by sitting there, the aura from the axe seemed capable of cleaving infinite worlds.
"Is this the Opening Heaven Immortal King? The power of creation he masters is the 'Power of Opening Heaven'?" (Hmm, who is he? :D )
Lin Yuan's spirit trembled slightly. According to the information from the old man in purple robes, the killing power of the Opening Heaven Immortal King is among the top three in this era of supreme Immortal Kings, with his Power of Opening Heaven almost capable of cleaving anything.
"Hmm?"
As if sensing someone watching, the towering Opening Heaven Immortal King glanced at Lin Yuan.
"Opening Heaven Immortal King." Lin Yuan smiled and approached.
Moments later.
Lin Yuan received a strand of Power of Opening Heaven and left satisfied.
As supreme Immortal Kings, under the premise of goodwill, it wasn't difficult to ask for a strand of Power of Opening Heaven for research.
Of course, Lin Yuan also gave his Tai Chi power to the other as an exchange.
The Tai Chi power, never seen before in the Spirit Realm, intrigued the Opening Heaven Immortal King, who agreed readily.
Thus.
Lin Yuan's Tai Chi primordial spirit resided in the Seventh Heaven, studying various powers of creation of the Immortal Kings.
Three hundred years passed in a flash.

Tftc!

Does the spirit realm have normal cultivation stuff like alchemy, arrays, and special artifact forging methods? If it does then couldn’t the MC learn them in order to be more independent from Human Civilization? Also why does it seem like he is pretty loyal to human civilization even though if it weren’t for the gate of myriad realms they would have sent him to die in a meaningless war?
Jonathan Grant
Is main character gonna have like 12 cosmic powers?
