High-Level Martial Era
Chapter 1952 - 840: The Secret of the Bronze Coffin! Millions of Years_4
"The final step?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
Such as Supreme Jing, he is a great talent born from a cosmos. If the cosmos were normal, and the Cosmic Realm’s cycle time reached a hundred billion years, Supreme Jing would surely be able to step into the Sub-Saint Realm.
But now, it’s hard to say anything for sure.
Soon after.
Li Yuan watched Supreme Jing depart.
"Brother Jing, whether you can hold on until I master the cosmos depends on fate," Li Yuan thought to himself. Once he mastered the cosmos, he might not restore it to perfection, but he would at least expel many Eternal Relics. By then, the Cosmic Origin would inevitably grow, and various Cosmic Origins would naturally become more perfect.
According to common sense, the lifespan of many Cosmic Realms would also be extended to some extent.
However!
No matter how confident Li Yuan was, he didn’t dare to say when he could master the cosmos... The notion that there’s hope for a Sub-Saint at the limit to refine the Cosmic Origin is ultimately just Fu Hong Saint’s speculation.
Until he truly reached that step, no one knew for sure.
...
Time passed.
The entire cosmos entered the era of Li Yuan’s sole supremacy. Figures like Han Xing Supreme, and many who had offended Li Yuan, hid in their native Cosmic Realms, not daring to emerge again.
The ’Heart Source Universe Alliance’ that Li Yuan established finally officially formed. Dominators like Heaven-reaching Dominator and Cloud Moon Dominator publicly joined one after another.
Heart Source Universe Alliance quickly became recognized as the largest force in the entire cosmos.
For no other reason!
Because it’s the force of Heart Source Sub-Saint... A universe alliance established by a Sub-Saint is naturally the top force, its prestige momentarily surpassing even the five major Eternal Organizations.
Time flowed like water, year after year, as the powerhouses of the Heart Source Universe Alliance traversed various realms, their renown growing ever greater.
But Li Yuan, known as the ’first stronger in the cosmos’ by countless powerhouses, completely vanished from the view of all the cultivators, almost never appearing in the cosmos again.
Li Yuan began his long path of concealed cultivation.
...
Opening nine Eternal Paths was just the first step of Nine Paths Unification; he needed to progressively deduce all nine great Eternal Paths to the Fourth Step and then merge them.
This is an extraordinarily long journey; even with Li Yuan’s talent, it would take an immensely long time just to get close to completion.
Looking across the vast cosmos.
Besides him, there was no other like-minded person, no one with whom he could converse and discuss the Dao. On this path of the Original Sacred Path, he walked alone.
...
When Li Yuan turned twenty thousand years old.
His direct disciple ’Li Shu’ remarkably broke through in the Heavenly God Realm, establishing the Destruction Dao in one fell swoop. This news shook the Divine Realm and brought considerable joy to Li Yuan.
He instructed Li Shu to continue cultivating, striving to establish two Daos in the Heavenly God Realm.
...
When Li Yuan turned thirty thousand years old.
His youthful friend ’Lin Lanyue’ reached the end of her lifespan. She was only of the Six Star Pulse; even with Li Yuan’s help to reach the True Body Realm, she ultimately did not reach the limit.
Besides Lin Lanyue, during this period, a large number of early predecessors of the Seven Star Civilization also successively reached the end of their lifespan. Li Yuan accepted all their True Spirit consciousnesses and moved them into his Inner Universe.
For Li Yuan now.
Let alone accepting hundreds of people, even hundreds of billions, as long as they were below the God King Realm, the cosmic rules wouldn’t affect him at all.
...
In the blink of an eye, by the time Li Yuan was seventy thousand years old.
After over sixty thousand years of concealed cultivation, Li Yuan finally deduced all nine Eternal Paths to the Third Step and officially embarked on his path of Harmonization.
Worried that it might influence the efficiency of Harmonization, he had refrained from attempting to deduce the World Dao, Myriad Spirit Dao, and others to the Fourth Step throughout this sixty thousand years.
He first descended upon the Sea of Life Source.
This is a special kind of Eternal Relic. In Li Yuan’s perception and inquiry, it does not seem to absorb much Cosmic Origin Power. It appears more like a ’Void Realm Form.’
And with the descent of Li Yuan’s consciousness.
The ’Sea of Origin Spirit’ of the Sea of Life Source seemed to feel a great threat and directly appeared.
"Heart Source Sub-Saint, I don’t know why you came to my Sea of Life Source?" The Sea of Origin Spirit transmitted its voice: "My Sea of Life Source does not participate in any cultivator conflicts, and should have no conflict with you."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled.
"I hold the Source Sea Mark, can’t I come?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
"Indeed, you hold the Source Sea Mark, but this mark is only of some assistance to Quasi-Saint cultivators. You have reached the Sub-Saint level... My Sea of Life Source provides very little help to you." The Sea of Origin Spirit straightforwardly said: "I believe you can tell that my Sea of Life Source contains two Eternal Holy Daos."
"Yes."
"One is the Myriad Spirit Dao, the other is the Heart Device Dao," Li Yuan said softly.
"Yes, it mainly focuses on the Heart Device Dao, after all, the Holy Path in which I achieve eternity is the Heart Device Dao," the Sea of Origin Spirit said.
Li Yuan listened attentively.
Judging merely by Origin perception, the Eternal being who established the Sea of Life Source was incredibly formidable... After all, they opened up two Eternal Holy Daos.
"Within my Sea of Life Source, whether it’s top-level Emperor Weapons of the Void Realm, the Void Lineage Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill, or those Void Illusionary Realms, they are of very little use to you." The Sea of Origin Spirit straightforwardly stated: "If you have any requests, feel free to tell me."
"Alright."
"I wish to observe the mystery of the Sea of Life Source’s Origin in operation once," Li Yuan directly expressed his request.
Finally.
After some coercion from Li Yuan, along with promises not to completely expel the Sea of Life Source after mastering the cosmos, the Sea of Origin Spirit eventually agreed.
And this observation of the Sea of Life Source’s Origin Mystery brought Li Yuan entirely new insights.
"The founder of the Sea of Life Source... should be a Virtual Realm Life who attained Sainthood."
"The path he walked is the path of Virtual Realm Life," Li Yuan fully comprehended the other’s route: "Myriad Spirit Dao, Heart Device Dao, Reincarnation Dao, Fate Path."
