Creating Heavenly Laws

The Chaos Void is boundless, giving rise to innumerable universes.

Every universe is equivalent in scale to a Chaos Venerable; that is the parity of their magnitudes.

Within a universe, its source will dominates all.

It can easily suppress a Path-Clearing pinnacle lifeform, and even if a Dominance realm being were to emerge, it would be incapable of defying the universe’s source consciousness.

Inside a universe, which is effectively the domain of a Chaos Venerable, how could an ordinary Dominance realm lifeform contend with that?

Yet just now, when the Milky Way Strongest One unleashed power beyond the Path-Clearing pinnacle, the universe’s source consciousness not only failed to suppress him but actually withdrew of its own accord?

The two Calamity Clan Strongest Ones did not think this was due to any “mercy.

” The source consciousness does not possess such an emotion.

The only reason for it to make this decision is that it judged suppressing the Milky Way Strongest One to be “not worthwhile.

”“A Chaos realm… The Milky Way Strongest One has stepped into the Chaos realm?

”Inside the wooden hut, the voice of the Calamity Clan Strongest One trembled slightly.

Although they had long suspected the Milky Way Strongest One was the reincarnation of some Great Saint, his cultivation speed was simply too fast!

From his birth until now, only a few thousand years or so had passed, and he had directly grown to the Chaos realm?

“Even if he’s not yet in the Chaos realm, his strength is infinitely close to it, at least enough to challenge a Chaos Venerable.

Otherwise, the source consciousness wouldn’t back down.

”The Strongest One standing outside the wooden hut spoke softly.

Even within a universe, the source consciousness suppressing a Chaos Venerable would be extremely difficult and might even trigger the Great Destruction ahead of schedule.

“The Milky Way Strongest One… Just which peerless Great Saint was he in his previous life?

” The Strongest One inside the wooden hut steadied his thoughts, unavoidably curious.

Even for a Great Saint’s reincarnation, reaching the Chaos realm so quickly was exceedingly difficult.

After reincarnation, Great Saints may not be hampered by rule comprehension or by mental will, but a breakthrough in rank requires not only comprehension of the rules and mental will—one’s physical body, soul, and more must keep pace as well.

Even if one possesses the rule comprehension of a Great Saint, if the physical body is only that of an ordinary mortal, it would not match up to a Path-Clearing lifeform.

“Rather than which Great Saint he used to be, I’m more interested in why the Milky Way Strongest One reincarnated at all,” the Strongest One outside the hut remarked, equally intrigued.

They had made the right decision at a critical moment by allying with the Milky Way Strongest One; thus they could now observe and discuss things in a relaxed manner.

“Indeed.

Such a mighty being—why reincarnate?

” The Strongest One within the wooden hut also showed puzzlement.

Reincarnation is equivalent to starting from scratch, leaving parts of one’s memory obscured.

Even for a peerless Great Saint, reincarnation carries certain risks.

Without pressing cause, no Great Saint would choose to reincarnate.

Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.

Lin Yuan’s figure appeared.

“After mastering the first layer of Infinite Void, my internal universe has undergone a massive transformation, boosting the upper limits of my physical body and soul once again.

”Lin Yuan carefully sensed himself, thinking inwardly.

A powerful body and soul give rise to a sufficiently powerful internal universe.

Conversely, a sufficiently powerful internal universe can in turn nourish the body and soul.

The internal universe and one’s body and soul are one and the same, complementing each other.

“I estimate I’ll reach the Dominance realm in about eighteen hundred years.

” Lin Yuan did a quick calculation in his head.

From Path-Clearing to Dominance, the hardest part is elevating one’s comprehension of time-space rules to the seventh level, as well as expanding the internal universe to a radius of a million light years.

Lin Yuan had achieved those requirements long ago.

What kept him stuck at the Path-Clearing stage, however, was that his physical body and soul had yet to reach their limit.

For an ordinary Path-Clearing pinnacle lifeform with plenty of time, the physical body and soul would already be at their limit.

But Lin Yuan’s strength had grown too quickly, and he had lived too short a life; his body and soul’s maximum capacity was frighteningly high.

Ironically, that simplest requirement was now the bottleneck for him stepping into Dominance.

“A mere eighteen hundred years isn’t too long.

”Lin Yuan shook his head.

If not for working on the second layer of Infinite Void, letting his internal universe transform and dramatically increase nourishment for his body and soul, his physical body and soul might have needed five or six thousand years to reach their limit, according to his estimates.

“Infinite Void, second layer,” Lin Yuan resumed his efforts in comprehension.

After tasting the benefits of the first layer of Infinite Void and realizing the enormous advantage of a solid foundation, Lin Yuan naturally wanted to progress further along this inheritance.

“The second layer of Infinite Void will raise my internal universe to something close to a Chaos Great Saint?

”Lin Yuan was mildly astonished.

If that were the case, mastering the second layer might let him sweep aside an ordinary Chaos Venerable?

“Huh?

”“But the second layer of Infinite Void requires a life essence at least at the Dominance realm, from what I can see?

”Lin Yuan read on, and his face showed slight regret.

Without sufficiently thick life essence, one simply cannot withstand so formidable an internal world.

“So I still need to break into Dominance first.

”That was Lin Yuan’s private conclusion.

At this point, he had run into a bottleneck in all respects; unless he ascended to the Dominance rank, it would be difficult to drastically transform his strength.

Source World, Qingfen City, Burning Heaven Courtyard.

Though it was called a courtyard, its main body was a pavilion—a building thirteen stories tall.

Three hundred years in the main universe equated to just one year in the source world.

Lin Yuan sat in the pavilion, pouring himself into the various legacy texts with voracious appetite.

These legacies were compiled by Marquis Qingfen over an extraordinarily long time, covering almost everything, including the cultivation ways of other ancient kingdoms.

[Your Unrivaled Insight allows you to study legacy texts and perceive the essence of those paths]From browsing countless such texts, Lin Yuan gradually felt the myriad wisdom and roads contained in them.

This source world’s rule operations differ entirely from those of the Chaos Void, and even the same “fire” rule manifests differently here.

If Lin Yuan had to comprehend it on his own, it would take a long time to discover exactly how they differ, bit by bit.

But reading through these countless texts, cross-referencing them with the many legacies he knew from the Chaos Void, let Lin Yuan rapidly deepen his understanding of this source world.

Over the past year, besides delving into these many texts, Lin Yuan did not idle; he once again formed nearly eight thousand scorching sun seeds.

Forming scorching sun seeds cost him little mental effort—he could do it in parallel.

Additionally, he never neglected adapting to his martial evolution path, doing that alongside forming scorching sun seeds.

“These legacy texts are ways of unraveling the great Dao of heaven and earth in more comprehensible forms.

”“The Dao and the flow of rules in this source world aren’t the least bit inferior to those of the Chaos Void.

If I can fully grasp it all, the benefits would be beyond measure.

”Lin Yuan lifted a greenish leaf in his hand.

Within it lay a path resonating with boundless vitality.

In this source world, those known as Great Sovereigns correspond to Chaos Venerables in the Chaos Void; while Heavenly Sovereigns equate to Great Saints.

Usually, to be officially conferred as ‘Marquis’ by the Liyang Ancient Kingdom, one must be a Great Sovereign; to be conferred as ‘King,’ a Heavenly Sovereign.

Many pieces of information flashed through Lin Yuan’s mind.

Marquis Qingfen was indeed a Great Sovereign, nearly at its peak, extremely close to the Heavenly Sovereign level.

“Great Sovereign-level powerhouses here typically cultivate a path birthed by chaos rules, which is somewhat stronger than the Venerables in the Chaos Void.

”Lin Yuan pondered inwardly.

All Dao rules trace their origin to chaos.

Chaos can breed myriad Daos.

For instance, that blue flame employed by Marquis Qingfen—could it really be ordinary flame?

No, it is the flame of chaos, kindled from chaos rules, and can easily burn even time and space.

“On the other hand, the strong of this source world are generally weaker in their foundations.

They lack the support of an internal universe.

”From countless legacy texts, Lin Yuan recognized the pros and cons of both sides.

Because of the scorching sun seeds, lifeforms of the Liyang Ancient Kingdom far surpassed similarly ranked beings in the Chaos Void in terms of rule comprehension, making it easier to birth chaos rules, and taking them farther in that domain.

Using chaos rules to bring forth innumerable Daos…in the Chaos Void, that would likely be a hallmark of Great Saint-level cultivation.

“Huh?

”“This floor is finished?

”Lin Yuan put aside the green leaf and noticed the surrounding texts were all thoroughly read.

“Let’s proceed to the thirteenth floor.

”He stood up.

The Burning Heaven Courtyard had thirteen floors, with the higher floors housing more difficult and profound legacies.

Over the past year, Lin Yuan had finished reading the first twelve floors and was now going to the thirteenth.

“So I must fully comprehend all legacies on the twelfth floor before I can ascend to the thirteenth?

” Lin Yuan eyed the translucent barrier leading up, smiling faintly.

The same condition applied not just between the twelfth and thirteenth floors but also from the first to the second, second to the third, and so forth.

Buzz!

Lin Yuan casually condensed a wisp of aura, which contained the essence of all the legacies from the twelfth floor, and with that he crossed easily into the thirteenth.

“A cultivator’s path requires reverence,” Marquis Qingfen said softly, opening his deep-set eyes.

“My disciple has experienced the countless texts in the Burning Heaven Courtyard and gained some appreciation for this world.

By now, he should have developed a sense of awe, right?

”A slight smile crossed his face.

Lin Yuan’s talent was too great, so exceptional that even Marquis Qingfen found himself inferior.

But no matter how great one’s talent, it remains only talent.

To reach the pinnacle of cultivation, one must possess a heart of reverence.

Hence, after bringing Lin Yuan back, Marquis Qingfen did nothing else—did not teach him or guide him—simply tossed him into the Burning Heaven Courtyard.

There, innumerable legacy texts were stored.

Just by flipping through and reading them, Lin Yuan would sense the endless wisdom and roads they contained.

The more he saw, the more he understood, the more he would sense his own insignificance, and thus reverence would naturally arise.

“The Burning Heaven Courtyard…”Marquis Qingfen turned his gaze that way.

Until now, he had deliberately paid it no mind, not wanting to watch Lin Yuan flounder around.

A year had passed, so it was about time to reveal himself, provide some guidance, and show Lin Yuan the boundless heights of heaven and the profundity of the Great Dao.

When Marquis Qingfen’s vision swept across the Burning Heaven Courtyard, he saw it clearly and, as a result, found himself somewhat stunned.

“This?
