Chapter 1951 - 840: The Secret of the Bronze Coffin! Tens of Millions of Years_3
"They all use their own Dao as a name... My master was the Reincarnation Saint King, one of the oldest Saint Kings in the Endless Holy Sea." The Little Tomb gently shook its head.
Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.
So, this Bronze Coffin contained such a great secret, entangled with such deep mysteries.
"Little Tomb, you just mentioned a legacy. Could it be that the Reincarnation Saint King..." Li Yuan softly asked.
"Yes."
"The master has fallen, or perhaps temporarily fallen. After all, the vitality of a Saint King is overwhelmingly terrifying, and since the master bore the name of Reincarnation, if he didn’t want to die, I can’t imagine anyone in the Endless Holy Sea who could kill him." The Little Tomb softly said.
Li Yuan listened intently.
He already had a guess in his heart: this Reincarnation Saint King was most likely one of the two Saint Kings mentioned by Fu Hong Saint, who had fallen in the Heavenly Heart Domain.
"Why did the Reincarnation Saint King die?" Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
"I don’t know."
"I can only confirm that the master should have fallen." The Little Tomb’s eyes were complicated: "After all, this Bronze Coffin was his weapon of Dao-making, and it’s now ownerless, plus I have the master’s instructions in my memory."
"Instructions?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
"Yes."
"The master said," the Little Tomb pointed to the gray Dao Intent Star in the void, and softly said: "After he falls, when endless years have passed and I awaken, I should carry the Bronze Coffin and seek within this universe a cultivator who can refine this origin."
"It must be a cultivator from this universe, these were the master’s exact words," Little Tomb added.
Li Yuan was lost in thought.
Why must it be a cultivator from this universe? What is the reason?
Li Yuan pondered, then looked at the Little Tomb: "What origin is it?"
"I’m not sure."
"Although I have recovered many memories, a lot of them are still fragmented." The Little Tomb shook its head: "Its origin, and even why I appeared in this universe, I don’t know... The only thing I know is that thoroughly refining it is very important."
"It!"
"It is deeply significant." The Little Tomb pointed again at the Dao Intent Star.
"Deeply significant?" Li Yuan was secretly startled; it must be something immensely important for a Saint King to leave specific instructions like that.
"How can it be refined?" Li Yuan shook his head: "It contains the mysteries of six Eternal Sacred Paths, and not just now; even if I command the Original Sacred Path in the future, I fear it will still be difficult to refine successfully."
Refining a treasure.
One doesn’t need to fully comprehend a treasure, but at least a portion of it, and sometimes even most of it, must be understood to completely refine and control it.
Li Yuan was self-aware.
The idea of completely refining this mysterious origin was almost inconceivable to him.
"According to the messages left by the master, there seem to be several ways to refine this origin, not necessarily requiring complete understanding... but I have forgotten them all." The Little Tomb smiled wryly.
Li Yuan felt a sense of helplessness.
He couldn’t blame Little Tomb... So many long years had passed, and Little Tomb had been asleep for sure with special reasons involved.
"However, Li Yuan."
"Based on the information I have grasped, you should have hope of thoroughly refining it." The Little Tomb said solemnly: "First, you are a life form of this universe, a point the master emphasized repeatedly."
Li Yuan listened closely.
"Next!"
"You have opened the Nine Eternal Paths; if you can achieve the Nine Paths Unification, at least it represents having Harmonized the six Eternal Paths contained within this origin, although not to the same level of this origin." The Little Tomb said: "Whereas others, including Sub-Saints and even the Eternal, might not have been able to achieve the Harmonization of the six Eternal Paths accordingly."
"In conclusion, your chance of successfully refining it should be very high." The Little Tomb said.
"Hmm." Li Yuan thought deeply.
...
Unlocking the secrets of the Bronze Coffin also gave Li Yuan another goal, but this goal was indeed somewhat far-reaching.
How difficult it was to refine the origin of the fusion of the mysteries of the Six Eternal Sacred Paths from the Mysterious Star City?
More distant than mastering the Original Sacred Path.
However, the origin inside the Bronze Coffin still played a significant promoting role for Li Yuan; its Six Paths Unification mysteries, even though Li Yuan couldn’t fully comprehend them despite his continuous observation, still provided him with substantial benefits.
"With this origin as a guide."
"My path to the Nine Paths Unification will be smoother and faster." Li Yuan thought to himself.
...
Soon after, a true body of Supreme Jing arrived at the Demon Heart Lake in the Long River Ruins and met Li Yuan, who was patiently waiting here.
"Heart Source Sub-Saint." Supreme Jing’s demeanor was very humble, and he respectfully saluted Li Yuan.
"Brother Jing, no need to be polite." Li Yuan smiled and said, "You can be considered my elder; it’s enough for us to interact as equals."
"In the path of cultivation, regardless of age, the one who achieves is first." Supreme Jing stated seriously: "Heart Source Sub-Saint has already reached the Sub-Saint Realm; therefore, you are my senior."
He saluted again.
Li Yuan sighed inwardly and did not insist further. With a flip of his palm, he handed over the Storage Emperor Weapon: "Brother Jing, this was our agreement from years ago, please check if you are satisfied."
Supreme Jing suppressed his excitement and reached out to take it. Upon an Inquiry with his mind, his eyes brightened, and he expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Heart Source Sub-Saint."
"No need to thank me."
"You once helped me through the calamity of the Sacrificial Realm." Li Yuan said with emotion: "Today, I return your treasure of the Yun Realm, which is beneficial for both of us."
"However, this treasure of the Yun Realm might at most extend the life of your home Cosmic Realm by over a hundred million years, right?" Li Yuan inquired.
"Yes." Supreme Jing revealed a slight bitter smile: "I have used the method to extend the life of the Cosmic Realm many times, and its effect is increasingly weakened. What I seek is merely more time to see if I can take the final step before the Cosmic Realm Reincarnation."
Supreme Jing’s cultivation spanned long years, and he was already very close to the Sub-Saint Realm.
Unfortunately!
This step was like an insurmountable divide, barring his way firmly.
