Chapter 615: Chapter 590 Fusion of All Things with the Origin
The Origin Dynasty, the most powerful force on the Origin Continent, occupies the finest territory on the continent and has thrived since ancient times, eternal and unperishing.
Within the eternal and immortal walls of the Origin Imperial Capital, in a lavish palace, Yuan Tiandao was meditating with closed eyes when suddenly his body started trembling, and the magic laws around him fluctuated violently. Then, with a violent shudder, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He opened his bloodshot eyes, filled with madness, and muttered, "Zhang Wei..."
A deep roar emanated from the mouth of Yuan Tiandao.
The battle with Zhang Wei had become his inner demon, an obsession he couldn’t shake off.
To this day, he couldn’t accept that he had been defeated by Zhang Wei.
As the All-Origin Body, unparalleled since the dawn of time, the strongest in the world, he could not accept that there was someone of his level stronger than him.
With his heaven-defying constitution as the All-Origin Body, having still lost, he felt he had lost all face. Now, he didn’t dare to leave his home, feeling that everyone’s gaze held mockery whenever he stepped outside.
He hated Zhang Wei to the bone.
It was Zhang Wei who had personally extinguished the brilliant halo that once surrounded him.
At this moment, ripples spread through the void, and a figure materialized before him.
This was a young man, hands clasped behind his back, ordinary in appearance, yet exuding an air of absolute dominion over the world, as though everything in heaven and earth, every doctrine and law, revolved around him.
Seeing this young man, even someone as proud as Yuan Tiandao did not dare to show any neglect and quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Tiandao pays his respects to the Primordial Ancestor. What brings you here?"
Yuan Tiandao was proud and haughty, and in this world, only one person could truly make him submit, the founder of the Origin Dynasty, the initial Origin-Ancestor Body in the world, Yuan Chu.
The people of the Origin Dynasty revered him as the Primordial Ancestor, signifying the origin of it all.
"Tiandao, are you still bothered about your last defeat?"
The Primordial Ancestor spoke.
"Primordial Ancestor..."
Yuan Tiandao was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Victory and defeat are common for soldiers; worldly affairs are unpredictable, and Doctrine is incalculable. There are many unknowns in the world, there has never been an invincible warrior. You must calm your mind, steady your Dao heart, take this as a lesson, and strive to reach higher levels. Only then can you achieve an invincible path."
The Primordial Ancestor admonished.
Yuan Tiandao, head lowered, seemed to be taking the teaching to heart, but whether he could truly adjust his mentality was something only he knew.
Seeing his reaction, the Primordial Ancestor sighed softly and asked, "Do you wish to defeat Zhang Wei?"
Yuan Tiandao quickly raised his head, "Of course I do, Primordial Ancestor. Do you have a way?"
The Primordial Ancestor nodded, "Follow me."
After saying this, a powerful force enveloped Yuan Tiandao, and the two of them disappeared into thin air.
When they reappeared, they were in a secret chamber deep beneath the Origin Imperial Capital.
Yuan Tiandao was curious about what the Primordial Ancestor had brought him here for.
"Come with me."
The Primordial Ancestor led Yuan Tiandao to a stone door, placed his palm on it, and the door automatically opened.
Yuan Tiandao peered in curiously.
Behind the stone door was another secret chamber, smaller in size, with a figure sitting cross-legged in the center, and nothing else.
The young man was very handsome, with closed eyes, unmoving.
Yuan Tiandao could not sense the slightest soul fluctuation from this young man.
This was a corpse.
Yet Yuan Tiandao felt a dangerous aura coming from it, and... pressure.
"A strong warrior, a fearsome one indeed."
Yuan Tiandao thought to himself.
Being an All-Origin Body with extremely sharp Spiritual Perception, he felt that if this young man were alive, and of the same level as him, he could pose a massive threat to him.
This was incredible.
He was an All-Origin Body after all; who else of the same level could threaten him?
"That is Nan Tiankong."
The Primordial Ancestor said.
"What?"
This statement sent a shock through Yuan Tiandao’s heart.
He was all too familiar with this name.
Because, since ancient times, only two individuals could stand shoulder to shoulder with him in terms of constitution.
Two Origin-Ancestor Bodies.
One was the Primordial Ancestor, and the other was an Origin-Ancestor Body who appeared three cultivation cycles ago, named Nan Tiankong.
But then, three cultivation cycles ago, Nan Tiankong suddenly vanished and had not been seen since.
Everyone speculated that Nan Tiankong had died, but Yuan Tiandao hadn’t expected that his corpse would be here, preserved so solemnly by the Primordial Ancestor.
"Nan Tiankong was too proud and haughty. Before the three cultivation cycles ago, there was a decline in cultivation energy, and the Origin Continent waged a fierce battle with the boundless starry sky. At that time, Nan Tiankong’s cultivation level had reached the third step of the Creator Realm, yet he faced a True One from the boundless starry sky alone, and ultimately met his end, his body and Dao vanishing."
"If not for my timely intervention, not even his corpse could have been preserved."
The Primordial Ancestor sighed softly.
"Is the gap between Creator Realm and True One so vast? Even an Origin-Ancestor Body cannot bridge it?"
Yuan Tiandao, with a twinge in his veins, said.
He was also a proud and haughty individual, and he had believed that once he reached the third step of the Creator Realm, he would be able to contend with a True One.
"Is it that easy to bridge the gap between Creator Realm and True One? Moreover, the True One he faced was among the most powerful beings even within the True One State,"
The Primordial Ancestor said.
"I wonder what the Primordial Ancestor intends by showing me Nan Tiankong’s corpse today?"
Yuan Tiandao asked curiously.
"With the All-Origin Body, you can integrate everything, including the Origin. I will teach you a method, using which you can merge the corpse of Nan Tiankong into your body. By doing this, you will possess both the All-Origin and the Origin Supreme Physiques, becoming the true unparalleled existence throughout the ages, invincible for all time."
The Primordial Ancestor said.
"Possessing both the All-Origin and the Origin physiques."
Yuan Tiandao’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes filled with an intense light.
He promptly knelt down and said, "Please, Primordial Ancestor, teach me."
"Good, once you completely integrate the corpse of Nan Tiankong, not only will your physique transform, but your cultivation level will also advance to the third step of the Creator Realm in one fell swoop. At that moment, you truly will be invincible under the heavens, and Zhang Wei will no longer possibly be your match."
The Primordial Ancestor said.
After that, the Primordial Ancestor passed on a special method to Yuan Tiandao and then set up a great formation to help Yuan Tiandao integrate the corpse of Nan Tiankong.
...
Lu Yan did not return to Dragon Emperor City but stayed in the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty to be with his family.
Shen Yinuo naturally also came to reside here, accompanying Lu Yan by his side.
In a practice room within the Da Wu Imperial City, Lu Yan cultivated with his eyes closed.
His spiritual sense extended outward, touching upon a profound mystery within the endless void.
This was the profundity of creation.
After his last attempt at creating a method and receiving the grace of heaven and earth, he had begun to challenge the Creator Realm. Although he hadn’t been successful in the end, he had still benefitted greatly and gained a deep comprehension of the Creator’s profundity.
Now, what he needed to do was to continue pondering the Creator’s profundity, striving to step into the Creator Realm at the earliest opportunity.
His spiritual sense contacted the Creator’s profundity, slowly appreciating its mysteries. Once he thoroughly understood it, he would be able to manipulate the Creator’s profundity and the Tao One Law, evolving a world within his body.
With Ninety-Nine to Unity, after reaching the Tao One Law, Lu Yan had an advantage in understanding the Creator’s profundity that was exceptional compared to ordinary people.
Each cultivation session, he could clearly feel that his comprehension of the Creator’s profundity had deepened further.
"With my rate of progress, in no more than three hundred years, I will definitely fully comprehend the Creator’s profundity and step into the Creator Realm."
A smile appeared on Lu Yan’s face.
This rate of progress was extremely astonishing.
For others, to fully comprehend the Creator’s profundity spanned tens of thousands, even millions of years or longer.
To fathom it in just three hundred years wasn’t far from being unprecedented.
Actually, there was a shortcut that could allow Lu Yan to comprehend the Creator’s profundity even faster.
It was to directly infuse the Creator’s profundity into his body, into his soul, to come into zero-distance contact with his soul. In that way, all the subtleties of the Creator’s profundity would be clearly revealed before him, and his comprehension would be many times faster than now.
It was said that when the Dragon Alliance Master Lu Ming broke through to the Creator Realm, he took this very step.
But this step was extremely dangerous.
Infusing the Creator’s profundity into the soul, a moment of carelessness could cause irreparable damage to the soul. In serious cases, it could directly lead to the obliteration of the soul.
It can be said to be walking on the edge of death, a thin line between survival and demise.
Now, as Lu Yan was not short on time, there was absolutely no need to take such a risk.
Just by following the proper steps, three hundred years would suffice.
Three hundred years, for beings of their realm, really wasn’t much.
As Lu Yan focused on cultivation, the Origin Continent also welcomed a time of peace.
The major powers from the boundless starry sky established their presence, and just in the True One State alone, there were more than ten new additions, making the situation on the Origin Continent even more intricate and complex.
The major powers kept a watchful eye on each other, and even those who had conflicts with one another in the past also sheathed their flags and ceased hostilities for the time being.
On the surface, the Origin Continent seemed peaceful and thriving.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
One day, Shen Yinuo stood high in the sky, her brows furrowed.
"Yinuo, what’s the matter?"
Lu Yan approached Shen Yinuo and asked.
"Lu Yan, have you sensed that, these days, the cultivation environment between heaven and earth has worsened, and connecting with the laws has become harder than before?"
Shen Yinuo said.
"The cultivation environment has worsened, and comprehending laws has become more difficult than before? Could there be a problem with our region? Yinuo, have you tried changing locations?"
Lu Yan asked.
"I’ve tried. It’s the same everywhere."
Shen Yinuo said.
"It’s the same everywhere?"
Lu Yan frowned slightly and said, "I’ll try as well."
Immediately, Lu Yan’s spiritual sense reached out, and using the Tao One Law as the core, he began to communicate with other laws.
Ever since Lu Yan achieved the Tao One Law, during cultivation, he always used it as the core, without needing to draw upon the strength of other laws of the Magic River, which made him less attuned to the changes in heaven and earth.
That’s why he hadn’t sensed it before.
But now, deliberately attempting to cultivate, he indeed discovered a problem.
The energy between heaven and earth seemed to have thinned a bit, and the difficulty of sensing the laws had increased a bit.
It wasn’t due to any power blocking them but due to the weakening power of the Magic River.
The power of the laws and regulations between heaven and earth was diminishing.
Although it wasn’t very serious, it was still distinctly noticeable.
"A cultivation ebb tide..."
Lu Yan thought of a term, and his face changed drastically.
