Chapter 1198: Chapter 16: Arrival (Subscription Request)
Mysterious World of Flames.
Lin Yuan looked up to observe the towering figure standing with hands behind his back at the highest point of the world.
Ever since the Seed of the Fierce Sun formed a great cycle within him, Lin Yuan’s position in this World of Flames had elevated significantly.
He could observe the towering figure more closely.
“Incredible, truly incredible.”
The more he observed, the more Lin Yuan felt his own insignificance.
The towering figure stood there silently, doing nothing.
The aura that naturally emanated from it profoundly moved him.
“No wonder those supreme saints of the Chaos Void spend their entire lives pursuing the traces of Time Life.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Not just any casual guidance from Time Life could benefit the supreme saints greatly.
Also, the mere existence of Time Life allowed the supreme saints to glimpse higher vistas.
“What a pity that I cannot stay here for long.”
Lin Yuan observed for a while and noticed his own mental will gradually twisting as if melding with the surrounding flames, so he quickly retreated.
While in the mysterious World of Flames, one could observe some mysteries of the Thirteen Tiers level, but could not reside permanently, lest one becomes assimilated.
Once assimilated, Lin Yuan would completely merge into that World of Flames, unable to return to his physical body.
“If I could get closer to the Ancestor, I would see more of the Thirteen-Tier Mysteries.” Lin Yuan thought to himself.
This was far superior to the drop of Time Blood left by the Moyu Tower Master.
The Time Blood originated from a wondrous lifeform, but wondrous lifeforms are merely born from the Chaos Void and are not Thirteen-Tier Lifeforms.
Their bloodline possesses only a trivial amount of time power talent at best, nowhere near the level of true Time Life.
“In ten years, I’ve condensed over a hundred more Seeds of the Fierce Sun, but my position in this World of Flames has not changed. Do I have to wait for the next larger cycle to form?”
Lin Yuan pondered to himself, after condensing the thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-third Seed of the Fierce Sun, the difficulty of condensing subsequent seeds greatly diminished. In just ten years, he condensed over a hundred more.
On average, condensing one every month or two.
Beyond thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Seeds of the Fierce Sun, Lin Yuan had little historical experience to draw from; only eighteen royalty in the history of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country had possessed such a number of Seeds of the Fierce Sun.
And these eighteen royals, after condensing thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three Seeds of the Fierce Sun, spent countless years without the energy to continue condensing more.
“I’m not in a hurry anyway; I can take my time.”
Lin Yuan thought quietly to himself, even planning to step into the Chaos Realm in the future, he didn’t intend to give up condensing the Seeds of the Fierce Sun.
…
“Xuanyin!”
In the Ancient Xuanyin Country, in a secluded corner, an avatar of Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In front of him floated droplets of Great Lord’s essence blood, containing fundamental fragments of the Xuanyin Dao.
Lin Yuan contemplated while comparing it with the Fierce Sun Dao, using the inheritance of “Fierce Sun, Xuanyin, Chaos” to attempt integration and fusion.
“Indeed, comprehending the Xuanyin Dao, supplementing Taiyin, promotes the gestation of Chaotic Taiyin Taiyang Taiji.”
Looking at the droplets of Great Lord’s essence blood, Lin Yuan thought to himself.
He constantly observed his internal universe, the giant egg formed by insights into the rules of the Second Realm of Chaos, containing the Chaotic Taiji Dao.
Ten years ago, when he first began to comprehend the Xuanyin Dao, he estimated that it would take ten thousand years for the Chaotic Taiji Dao to evolve.
Now, accompanying continued comprehension of the Xuanyin Dao and fusion with the Fierce Sun, Lin Yuan clearly felt that in at most five thousand years, the Chaotic Taiji Dao could evolve successfully.
Ten years of comprehending Xuanyin saved him four thousand nine hundred and ninety years; Lin Yuan considered this a gain.
Moreover, comprehending the Xuanyin Dao sped up the evolution of the Chaotic Taiji Dao, enriching Lin Yuan’s own rule comprehension as well.
Whether the Xuanyin Dao or the Fierce Sun Dao, both had birthed Thirteen-Tier Time Lives, worthy of Lin Yuan’s dedication to comprehension.
“Over the years, I’ve acquired essence blood from over two hundred Great Lords, without causing any substantial disruption.”
Lin Yuan glanced around with satisfaction.
The result was largely due to his non-forceful approach; even when taking essence blood, he left behind curiosities of equivalent value.
This was enough to silence most Great Lords.
Additionally, Lin Yuan’s skillful methods ensured that even if the Venerate of the Xuanyin Ancient Country’s capital had learned of this, they hadn’t detected Lin Yuan’s position, as he’d only taken essence blood without any radical actions, so they continued to observe in secret.
…
“If Xuanyin and the Fierce Sun perfectly fuse, it would be a brand new Thirteen-Tier Dao, as with Taiyin and Taiyang’s fusion into Taiji…”
Lin Yuan observed the droplets of Great Lord’s essence blood, cross-verifying with the Fierce Sun Dao, while integrating Taiyin and Taiyang.
…
In the capital of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country.
Lin Yuan’s true self was also in contemplation.
At a certain moment.
Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
“The emperor seeks me?” Lin Yuan looked towards the imperial palace, immediately understanding: “Seems like the time has come to set out for the new treasure land.”
This newly emerged top-tier treasure land is outside the domains of any of the six ancient countries, so to gain control of it, the six ancient countries must compete.
Being a contest within the rules, it isn’t particularly urgent after all.
All the Ancient Countries need to gather their Heavenly Venerate level experts. However, many of these Venerates are in closed-door practice and might not come out in a short period, hence the ten-year time limit.
Regardless of who ultimately gets the prime territory, it will surely be one of the Six Ancient Countries.
Before long.
Lin Yuan arrived at the palace.
The Emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country was seated on the throne, and Peak Venerables like Red Flame Venerable and Venerable Guanglie had been waiting for quite some time.
“Galaxy, you’re here?”
The Emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.
Red Flame Venerable and Venerable Guanglie also nodded at Lin Yuan.
Very soon.
The twelve Heavenly Venerates participating in the battle for the treasure land had all arrived.
The Emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country spoke, “I assume you all know how to vie for the treasure land.”
Lin Yuan quietly listened below.
Each treasure land forms its own space, containing a certain number of ’cores’ within.
The more ’cores’ of a treasure land that are refined, the greater the control over that land.
Of course, this mastery is relative; even if all the ’cores’ of a treasure land are refined, it doesn’t necessarily prevent other powerhouses from invading.
For example, when Lin Yuan once guarded the Hei Yu Nest, didn’t Jihan Venerate and Beiyin Venerable Sage still infiltrate?
Yet, the battle over treasure lands among the Six Ancient Countries is maintained under a certain intensity, hence, the competition is based on refining the ’cores’ of the treasure land.
After two thousand years, the Ancient Country that has refined the most ’cores’ of a treasure land will claim it.
Thus, the competition for treasure lands is not about who is stronger or weaker.
But rather, who can find the ’cores’ of the treasure land faster and refine them quickly.
Moreover, merely refining the ’cores’ of the treasure land is not enough; one must also protect them.
Once the ’cores’ of the treasure land are refined, they are not infallible and can still be re-refined by other Heavenly Venerates.
“Let me send you over.”
The Emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country looked at the twelve Heavenly Venerates. Ten years ago, the capital of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country had already established a space-time transfer node outside the newly born treasure land, allowing them to teleport there at any time using the country’s teleportation formation.
“For this competition, it’s great if you succeed; if not, don’t feel pressured.” The Emperor of the Fierce Sun Ancient Country led the twelve Heavenly Venerates to the space-time transfer area and turned to offer a word of comfort.
Buzz.
The next moment.
Red Flame Venerable, Lin Yuan, and the other Venerates stepped into the Space-Time Teleportation Formation.
Space and time shifted rapidly.
Lin Yuan felt the infinite distance being stretched, and after nearly twenty breaths, the space-time fluctuations quickly ceased.
“We’ve arrived.”
Red Flame Venerable glanced around and stepped out of the space-time transfer area.
“It’s much worse than the Qingfen Domain,” Lin Yuan also observed.
Before descending into this source world, Lin Yuan had observed the entire source world through the perspective of the Myriad Realms Gate.
Overall, the source world is a boundless continent, with the Six Ancient Countries occupying the central, most prosperous, and wealthiest regions of the continent.
Those regions nurture many rare and precious treasures, and most treasure lands are also born there.
As for beyond the Six Ancient Countries, it is much more desolate, which is why the Six Ancient Countries fight amongst themselves rather than expanding outward.
There is no point.
But even in desolation, some rare treasures still occasionally appear.
However, a prime treasure land? Honestly, before the appearance of this prime treasure land, the Heavenly Venerates of the Six Ancient Countries would hardly believe a prime treasure land could be nurtured in the barren, desolate regions.
“According to intelligence, outside the newly born prime treasure land, there is a region of time reversal. Only those who have comprehended the Dao of Space-Time Ninth Realm can pass through the time reversal region and enter the treasure land.”
Red Flame Venerable said in a low voice.
The appearance of the treasure land attracted a large number of Great Lord level explorers nearby, and nearly all were sent back by the time reversal region.
Fusion of Time and Space Ninth Realm? Although in this particular source world, comprehending the rules is relatively easier, reaching the Ninth Realm of Space-Time is still extremely difficult, generally achievable only by a Heavenly Venerate.
And Heavenly Venerates? They wouldn’t necessarily explore the desolate regions outside the Six Ancient Countries, as the Heavenly Venerate level experts receive numerous benefits by aligning with an Ancient Country, with no need to waste time in barren areas.
“Once you enter the treasure land, immediately disperse and find the ’cores’ of the treasure land as quickly as possible. Once found, inform me, and I will go to refine them.”
Red Flame Venerable said.
His realm is the highest, and he refines the treasure land ’cores’ the fastest. Even if discovered by other Ancient Country Heavenly Venerates, he has the best chance of guarding the treasure land ’cores’.
“No problem.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
The other Heavenly Venerates nodded as well.
Upon seeing this, Red Flame Venerable felt somewhat more at ease.
In competing for the treasure land, cooperation is key; it’s not about fighting to win or lose but rather refining more of the treasure land’s ’cores’.
“Considering how the Emperor values Galaxy, he probably doesn’t want him getting injured in the competition. I need to watch out for him.” Red Flame Venerable glanced at Lin Yuan and thought to himself.
