655 A Fleeting Decade

Time passed quickly. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

To ordinary living beings, ten years might be enough for a child to grow up and become an adult. It might also be enough for a middle-aged person to gradually enter old age.

However, ten years was so short for mountains, rivers, the earth, and an entire planet. Ten years later, the mountains still stood tall, the rivers still surged, and the earth was still vast as ever.

Nothing seemed to have changed. The planets turned, and the cosmos remained unchanged.

Ten years was even less worth mentioning to cultivators.

In the Guardian Divine Palace, Lin Feng had already been in seclusion for a full ten years. During this period of time, although he could also communicate with the outside world, his true form had actually entered the broken universe in the Void Sky Divine Palace.

Lin Feng was comprehending Principles. Be it the Principle of Space, the Principle of Tides, the Principle of Annihilation, or even the Principle of Life, Lin Feng was working hard to comprehend all of them.

However, Lin Feng had underestimated Principles. He had thought that the effects of fusing the three Sacred Stones of Anathema would greatly increase, and by relying on the Sacred Stone of Anathema, he could experience the Principles himself.

However, he still did not make any substantial progress. It seemed like he still needed some time to comprehend a complete Principle.

His Law of Tides, Law of Annihilation, and even Law of Space had all improved by a certain extent. At the very least, he could sense improvement. However, there was no further comprehension in the Law of Life, let alone direction.

The Principle of Life was even more unattainable.

Although Lin Feng did not seem to have improved much in Principles, Lin Feng had been staying in the broken universe in the Void Sky Divine Palace for the past ten years.

It allowed him to further understand the true meaning of the “universe”.

Transforming into the universe was not that simple. The more Lin Feng comprehended the broken universe transformed from Divine Emperor Void Sky, the more his comprehension grew, and the more shocked he was.

Time, life, and space were all indispensable, but these three Principles were not the only ones needed. Even with three Principles, one might not be able to successfully transform into a universe.

Transforming into the universe actually required a sufficiently powerful combat body as well!

Lin Feng had slowly realized this in the past ten years. Even transforming into a universe required a powerful combat body. Otherwise, how could it accommodate a newborn universe?

Even though a newborn universe might not be too strong, and was far from comparable to an Origin Universe, after successfully transforming into a universe, one could completely control every ounce of power in the internal universe.

If the combat body was not strong enough, how could it accommodate a universe?

Transcendence was difficult! It was even more difficult than Lin Feng had imagined.

If many cultivators did not have a solid foundation, they were actually destined to never be able to transcend from the beginning. Only Lin Feng, who had undergone metamorphosis with a consummate combat body, had a silver of hope because his foundation was incomparably solid.

However, that was just hope. If he metamorphosed rashly, even if his strength was comparable to a Divine Emperor, it would probably be difficult for him to transcend.

Back then, the Divine Emperor of Silence and the Divine Emperor Void Sky had both dominated their eras and were the strongest Divine Emperors of their generation. But so what? The two of them had still failed to transform into the universe in the end.

Even a prodigy who was favored by the entire universe and enjoyed the providence of the entire universe would probably find it difficult to transcend. Hence, even though Lin Feng was only a Grand Emperor now, he had to begin preparing for transcendence. He had to lay a solid foundation.

If possible, Lin Feng would prefer to undergo metamorphosis with a consummate combat body. That kind of metamorphosis would allow developing the most perfect state, and only then would he have a chance of transcending in the future.

“Grand Emperor, there’s news on Divine Heart!”

Suddenly, Lin Feng received a message from Venerable Vigil.

Although Lin Feng was in seclusion, he was not completed isolated and still had contact with the outside world. Hence, Venerable Vigil and Grand Emperor Scorpius could report important news to Lin Feng directly.

Among them, Lin Feng had personally instructed them to report the news of Divine Heart and the Sacred Stone of Anathema to him immediately.

“There’s news on Divine Heart?”

Lin Feng opened his eyes and left the secret chamber immediately, summoning Venerable Vigil and Grand Emperor Scorpius.

“Venerable Vigil, you obtained news on Divine Heart?”

Lin Feng took Divine Heart very seriously. After all, Divine Heart might have clues related to the Sacred Stone of Anathema. Lin Feng was not willing to give up any trace of clues.

“Yes, Your Majesty. We obtained news on Divine Heart. According to the clues provided by the Grand Emperor, we discovered traces of an individual suspected to be Divine Heart in the Pelagios Domain.”

“The Pelagios Domain?”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Venerable Vigil explained in detail.

It turned out that the Pelagios Domain was a powerful region ruled by Divine Venerable Pelagios. Divine Venerable Pelagios had also presided over the Pelagios Domain for countless billions of years.

There were about tens of thousands of galaxies under the command of the Pelagios Domain. It was a top-notch faction in the universe, and also a holy land for cultivation. It was located in the central region of the universe.

The entire universe was almost boundless, but no matter how boundless it was, the Divine Venerables and Divine Emperors could roughly define the boundaries after repeated explorations. However, many people did not know, and even the Divine Kings did not know.

However, the Pelagios Domain could be considered the central region of the universe. Countless cultivators were willing to make a “pilgrimage” to the Pelagios Domain, because there was a Divine Venerable standing at the top of the universe there!

“There’s actually such a place?”

Lin Feng did not expect there would be such a place that was prosperous to the extreme.

“Grand Emperor, although the Bemond Galaxy and the North River Galaxy seem to be presided over by Divine Kings and are very powerful, in reality, we are actually all in remote locations in the universe. It is already impressive for there to be one Divine King in a galaxy. But what about the Pelagios Domain? There are countless Divine Kings. There are all kinds of combat bodies, cosmic arrays, comprehension techniques for Laws, and so on. The amount of cosmic miraculous items is also simply unimaginable.”

“Divine Heart actually went to the Pelagios Domain. Looks like he intends to use the abundant cultivation resources in the Pelagios Domain to recover from his injuries.”

With a little thought, Lin Feng immediately understood the purpose of Divine Heart’s trip to the Pelagios Domain. That holy land where cultivation was thriving would be very helpful to severely injured cultivators like Divine Heart.

Lin Feng even suspected that in the Pelagios Domain, Divine Heart did not need to make any commotion to recover from his injuries in the shortest time possible. Once he recovered from his injuries, it was extremely likely that Divine Heart would be comparable to a Divine Venerable!

At that time, if Divine Heart swept through the entire Pelagios Domain, and used the various resources in the Pelagios Domain to return to his peak and become a Divine Emperor, it would be next to impossible for Lin Feng to obtain any clues on the Sacred Stone of Anathema.

Hence, this matter could not be delayed.

“Give me the exact location where Divine Heart had appeared. I’m afraid I’ll have to leave for a while. I’ll leave the Guardian Divine Palace to the two of you.”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. We will definitely manage the Guardian Divine Palace well.”

Lin Feng nodded. He trusted Grand Emperor Scorpius and Venerable Vigil.

This time, Lin Feng did not leave an avatar behind. This trip might take a longer time, and he might even be able to undergo metamorphosis. As he could only undergo metamorphosis in a perfected state, Lin Feng did not leave an avatar behind.

In any case, the North River Galaxy was gradually stabilizing now. No one dared to cause trouble in the North River Galaxy. Otherwise, they would face the wrath of a powerful Grand Emperor who could slay a Divine King.

Swoosh.

After giving his instructions, Lin Feng did not delay any longer. He tore through space and entered the spatial passage, warping towards the Pelagios Domain.
