Chapter 640: Chapter 615: Return to Earth
"Supreme Treasure!"
Qiuqiu’s eyes gleamed brightly, swallowing it all in one gulp.
Lu Yan was somewhat surprised, but quickly understood that Qiuqiu had a special physique, which allowed it to continually enhance itself by devouring weapons with a gold attribute.
Hearing this, Lu Yan also took out the Dragon Horn Curved Blade obtained from Blood Rule Canglong and gave it to Qiuqiu.
He already had the Desolate Ancient Seven Extermination Blade and the Holy Light Divine Mountain, which were enough.
As for the Dao Book and the Innate Magic Fragment, he had carried them for a long time and was reluctant to give them away.
"Ladies and gentlemen, until we meet again, I hope that when we see each other next, we can join the battle together to help Lu Ming and annihilate powerful enemies," Ye Qing said, cupping his fist in salute. Draped in the child chart from the Yin Yang Qiankun Mother-Child Chart, he flickered away, disappearing into the vast Chaos Void.
In the Chaos Void, those who had reached the third step of Creation would be attacked by the Chaos Void; to leave, one must be protected by a child chart.
"I shall also take my leave," said the Formation Ancestor, similarly draped in a child chart, vanishing into the chaos.
Afterwards, Ancestor of All Magics, Qiuqiu, Lu Ren, and the others also left one after another.
Yet the metallic sphere Qiuqiu remained within the mother chart, refining numerous weapons and incidentally guarding the beings within it.
"Lu Yan, what are your plans?" Tang Feng looked towards Lu Yan.
"I also plan to travel the world, comprehend the creation of laws, hoping to create the Supreme Law as soon as possible, step into the True One, find the Locking Heaven Ring, and lend a helping hand to the Alliance Hierarch," Lu Yan said.
"Mmm, let’s go. I have the same intention. After stepping into the True One, I can feel that the True One is not the limit; one can be stronger. With my current strength, I am not yet strong enough, I need to be stronger. See you on the battlefield in the future," Tang Feng said. Then, he turned into a sword light and disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yan said goodbye to Shen Yinuo, Zhao Sirong, and his parents, draped in a child chart, and plunged into the vast Chaos Void.
The cultivation environment in the Chaos Void was vastly different from the boundless starry sky and the Origin Continent.
It also greatly impacted Lu Yan.
He wandered in the Chaos, stopping from time to time, traveling and comprehending the Way while he went.
While Lu Yan walked through the chaos, at the very end of the boundless starry sky, a flicker of sword light appeared, revealing the figure of Tang Feng.
He planned to enter into nothingness to search for the Locking Heaven Ring.
Although Lu Ming had once told Lu Yan to break through to the True One before entering nothingness to look for the Locking Heaven Ring,
Tang Feng was not accustomed to leaving his fate in someone else’s hands.
He preferred to control his own destiny.
Waiting for Lu Yan to break through to the True One could take forever.
He wanted to enter into nothingness first, find the Locking Heaven Ring before assisting Lu Ming.
With one strike of his sword, Tang Feng tore through the void and entered into the Eternal Nothingness.
....
Time quietly passed.
It was three hundred years in the blink of an eye.
One day, Lu Yan stood in a strange place.
Above, there was a crack so deep it seemed endless.
"Is this the so-called Heavenly Cave, connected to the boundless starry sky?" Lu Yan sensed carefully.
It’s said that the Dragon Alliance’s origins lay in the Heavenly Cave.
Now, however, the Heavenly Cave was eerily silent, with no energy spilling out.
Lu Yan sensed that he could easily tear through the Heavenly Cave and effortlessly enter the boundless starry sky.
He didn’t do so, though, opting instead to sit cross-legged beneath the Heavenly Cave, quietly contemplating the Dao.
This sitting lasted for over a thousand years.
By then, two thousand years had passed since their venture into the Chaos Void.
Suddenly, Lu Yan stood up, took a step forward into the deeper chaos, and with a slash of his hand, a blade light flew out, cleaving through the chaos, and a long gash appeared in the Chaos Void.
"Creating the law was a success, but unfortunately, this technique is approximately equivalent to a law created based on the integration of seven different magics, and can only unleash sixty percent of the Tao One Law’s might," Lu Yan thought to himself.
The Tao One Law, having integrated Ninety-Nine to Unity, no longer had separate laws.
But the laws Lu Yan created previously, such as Earth Withering and Sky Cleaver, were based on the fusion of two, three, or five laws, which meant these techniques could not fully unleash the power of the Tao One Law.
Even with his newly created technique, it could only evoke sixty percent of the Tao One Law’s power.
Lu Yan named this technique Sky Overturning, signifying an upheaval of heaven and earth.
"To unleash all of the Tao One Law’s power at a hundred percent, it’s necessary to create a law based on the integration of nine magics," Lu Yan considered.
But even then, it wouldn’t be the Supreme Law.
The Supreme Law should unleash a power far beyond that of the Tao One Law itself,
It should be able to unleash two hundred or even three hundred percent of the Tao One Law’s power.
To create the Supreme Law was a long and arduous task.
"The Chaos Void no longer offers gains; perhaps I should visit the boundless starry sky. Using the retreat in cultivation, The Land of the Last Dharma might help me to create the Supreme Law," Lu Yan pondered.
The last time, before the showdown between Origin and the starry sky, he had entered the Land of the Last Dharma, using its pressure to successfully create a law and received a boon from heaven and earth.
Of course, with the retreat of cultivation and the Primordial Ancestor’s grand cleansing, naturally, there wouldn’t be a boon from heaven and earth.
For beings below the third step of Creation, it’s nearly impossible to leave the Chaos Void for the boundless starry sky.
But for Lu Yan, it wasn’t a problem at all.
He unleashed his full strength in a single strike, tearing the barrier between the Chaos Void and the boundless starry sky, entering into the boundless starry space.
Upon arrival in the boundless starry sky, Lu Yan could not sense any law or energy.
But he himself was a law, and in this respect, there was no worry for him.
His spiritual sense stretched out and soon detected a star with living beings.
This star was flourishing, and in the past, it had been home to powerful cultivators.
However, now that cultivation was in decline, there were few cultivators left, and even if there were any, their cultivation levels were very low.
At this time, not many years had passed since the decline of cultivators. Many stars still bore the marks of the powerful ones and even various cultivation techniques they had left.
Of course, without laws and energy, these techniques were impossible to cultivate, like an incomprehensible Dao Book.
One could imagine that in a few more years, when this place completely becomes the Land of the Last Dharma, later generations will believe that these secret cultivation manuals are all false, fabricated from thin air.
Earth had already been through it all.
Lu Yan entered this star, pondering over the marks left by those strong ones, comprehending the laws of cultivation here to enhance his own foundation.
Several years later, Lu Yan left, heading for another planet...
Like this, another eight thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Since they entered the Chaos Void, a total of ten thousand years had passed.
Lu Yan finally made another breakthrough, creating an even more powerful law.
This law was still a Knife Technique and was equivalent to the fusion of nine laws, capable of fully unleashing the power of the Tao One Law.
Lu Yan indeed hadn’t guessed wrong; this law was still not the Supreme Law.
His cultivation level had still not made any significant progress.
Only then did Lu Yan truly realize, how difficult it is to create the Supreme Law.
How difficult it is to achieve the True One State.
No wonder across the expansive history of the Origin and the starry skies, despite the birth of innumerable prodigies and Tianjiaos, there were only so many True Ones.
It’s practically impossible for an ordinary person to create the Supreme Law.
This isn’t something you can pile up with resources, nor is it helpful just by being guided.
"The path to the utmost heights is laden with responsibility and a long journey."
Lu Yan slowly adjusted his mindset, allowing himself to return to a state of undisturbed tranquility.
Gazing into the distance, his mind conjured up the pattern of the Starry Sky Map, and suddenly he felt that he had arrived at a familiar star region.
His heart uncontrollably began to beat faster.
With one step, he tore through the void, and not long after, he stood gazing into the distant starry space. A blue planet appeared before his eyes.
Earth!
In this journey of starry sky cultivation, he hadn’t deliberately headed towards Earth, yet unexpectedly, he still ended up here.
"Perhaps, this is the site of my breakthrough."
Lu Yan suddenly had a premonition; he felt that the opportunity for breakthrough might very well be on Earth.
Earth at this moment was completely different from before his crossing. After thousands of years, Earth’s technology had advanced tremendously.
Above the surface of the Earth, star space battleships shuttled back and forth, traveling above Mars and Saturn.
Even the most advanced battleships were now able to leave the solar system to explore more distant planets.
Countless laser radars and special exploration devices covered the Earth’s surface, leaving no place for any living being to enter undetected and soundlessly.
Of course, for Lu Yan, these were no different from toys.
His spiritual sense radiated out, enveloping the entire Earth within.
Everything on Earth was laid bare within his spiritual sense, with no place to hide.
He saw many young people playing games, reading novels...
These people had no idea that they were being observed by someone in the dark.
In a flash, Lu Yan had already entered the Earth, returning to that hometown of his past.
However, times had changed; the city was no longer as it had been.
Skyscrapers rose from the ground everywhere, and countless small flying vehicles shuttled between them.
Walking among the crowd, Lu Yan could no longer recapture that feeling from the past.
He left the city and walked among the scenic spots and beautiful landscapes.
Likes of Mount Kunlun, Mount Tai, and Longhu Mountain.
Among these famous mountains, Lu Yan indeed found marks left by cultivators, and some of these marks were incredibly profound. Although the cultivation tide had receded many years ago, and they had lost their divine charm and extraordinary functions...
But with Lu Yan’s cultivation level, after activating the Tao Soul Pupil, he could clearly restore these marks.
Some of the marks were even left by those in the Creator Realm.
What shocked him most was that within a certain famous mountain, he discovered traces left by the True One Realm.
One could imagine that in the distant past, Earth’s cultivation world must have been incredibly prosperous.
Continuing his observations and deep contemplation, Lu Yan unwittingly arrived at Mount Sanqing.
This was a famous mountain near his former hometown, as well as a famous Taoist paradise.
Yu Jing Peak, the highest peak of Mount Sanqing.
Lu Yan, feeling inspired, sat cross-legged at the summit of Yu Jing Peak, entering a state of deep contemplation.
To avoid alarming the ordinary people and causing unnecessary trouble, Lu Yan employed the Tao One Law. The surrounding rocks silently moved towards him, enclosing him within them.
Lu Yan seemed to have become a stone statue.
Unexpectedly, this action, as time went by, added a new scenic spot for check-ins on Mount Sanqing, giving rise to various legends.
For example, the Lu Yan stone statue was the cast-off mortal body of an ancient immortal after their ascension.
Every year, the number of visitors who came to take in the view was countless.
Time was silently slipping by, year after year.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan had been sitting cross-legged on the summit of Yu Jing Peak for twenty thousand years.
It was winter, and the land was cold and frozen. Mount Sanqing was dressed in a silver coat of snow.
At the summit of the mountain, the cold wind howled.
On such days, the number of tourists was naturally very few.
Suddenly, a small flying vehicle stopped on the mountain’s peak. More than ten figures leaped directly from the flying vehicle, about ten meters in the air, onto the mountain path.
