Chapter 1847: Chapter 1866: Peril Hidden in the Shadows!
Before that, Liu Baiyi had another plan.
"Actually, you have another choice. You can become a Heaven-shocking Extremist in the shortest time possible, and even be called the strongest in the Eternal Universe." Liu Baiyi’s gaze was intense as he looked at Ye Xuan.
"What choice?"
Ye Xuan was startled, somewhat moved.
If he could become a Heaven-shocking Extremist in the current Chaotic Universe without returning to the past, that would be the best outcome.
"Become Huang!"
’Cang’ spoke hoarsely, a blaze passing through his eyes, clearly indicating that not only did Liu Baiyi know of this method, but he did too.
"Become Huang?"
Ye Xuan’s expression changed. He had already guessed something.
"Perhaps you’ve already thought of this. ’Chu’ is also a reincarnation, but his cultivation is continuously recovering because his soul harbors the cultivation of a Heaven-shocking Extremist."
’Cang’ explained slowly, then looked at Ye Xuan earnestly and said, "Your situation is the same as his. In the depths of your soul also lies the power of Huang. As long as you’re willing to become Huang again, we can help you awaken this power, allowing you to become the first person of the Primordial era in the shortest time, and even the strongest of the Eternal Universe."
Boom!
As ’Cang’ spoke, Ye Xuan’s mind was overwhelmed with a shock, even though he had anticipated this. Hearing it spoken still made his heart tremble.
Temptation!
A great temptation!
To become a Heaven-shocking Extremist effortlessly.
To become the first and strongest in the Eternal Universe, who can resist such temptation?
Ye Xuan was thoroughly moved and was about to agree, but then he hesitated, his words left unsaid.
Silence!
Ye Xuan fell silent!
This made Liu Baiyi and ’Cang’ slightly frown. Ye Xuan’s silence obviously made them sense something wasn’t right.
"I refuse!"
After a long time, Ye Xuan finally spoke, looking at the two with a calm gaze, which surprised them as they never expected Ye Xuan to refuse.
Actually, Ye Xuan did not want to refuse, but after calming down, he thought of a question, a question about himself.
’Huang’ was his past self.
’Huang’ chose to pass away, becoming his current self, to create the strongest law of the Eternal Universe, uniting past, present, and future into one.
If he chooses to become Huang again now, all of the past self’s efforts would go in vain, even if he becomes Huang.
Not to mention he might become someone else, even if he remains the strongest in the Eternal Universe, what’s the difference from other Heaven-shocking Extremists?
To surpass Heaven-shocking Extremists, to break the constraints of the Eternal Universe, and to bear the universe’s heaviest mission, what’s beyond that door is something he has to find out himself.
Therefore, uniting three lives into one, surpassing Heaven-shocking Extremists, that is his ultimate goal, not just becoming Huang, the so-called strongest in the Eternal Universe.
Moreover, even to awaken the girl in the coffin, ’Huang’ himself couldn’t do it. Even if he becomes Huang, the results would be the same as in the past.
To lose the big picture for small gains, Ye Xuan would never make such shortsighted decisions.
And, Ye Xuan had a feeling in the back of his mind that his past self had sealed the path. Though the power of Huang exists deep within his soul, it is definitely not his entire cultivation, just his law and way.
So, even if Ye Xuan chose to become Huang, he fears that what he ultimately receives would be nothing but emptiness.
Moreover, Ye Xuan firmly believes that through his own efforts, he can achieve the Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven, step into the realm of Heaven-shocking Extremists, and even unite three lives into one, surpassing Heaven-shocking Extremists, to open that door himself.
"If I choose to become ’Huang’, how will Xi Yao be awakened?" Ye Xuan smiled faintly.
But with just those words, he left the two speechless, their brows furrowing even more, evidently realizing that this was indeed a significant issue.
Yes!
So what if Ye Xuan becomes ’Huang’?
In the past, they tried countless methods, unable to awaken Xi Yao. Even if ’Huang’ reemerges, the result will still be the same as back then.
"Three Lives Unification!"
Liu Baiyi sighed deeply and said, "Back then, Huang was like this, and now you are too. Perhaps the hope of Xi Yao awakening truly lies with you."
At this moment.
Liu Baiyi and ’Cang’ both felt a bit heavy, and the atmosphere became oppressive.
After a long time.
The two regained their composure, exchanged a glance, and ’Cang’ solemnly looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Opening the Eternal River to return to the past, the space-time storm accumulated for eternity is incredibly terrifying, and you can’t endure it with your cultivation."
"Therefore, the two of us will protect you, lending you our law and way, but the dangers are hard to predict. Whether you can truly return to the Three Great Eras will depend on you." ’Cang’ said in a low voice.
Liu Baiyi timely interjected, "Also, when you open the Eternal River to go back, ’Prison’ will definitely not sit idly by and will intervene. But you can rest assured, with the two of us protecting your way, he won’t be able to stir up much trouble. What I’m worried about is..."
"Other Heaven-shocking Extremists!"
’Cang’ said gravely, which changed Ye Xuan’s expression, realizing he had oversimplified and hadn’t considered everything thoroughly.
As they said, besides ’Prison’, there were three other Heaven-shocking Extremists not yet revealed. If they appear when he opens the Eternal River, great dangers might arise.
In the Eternal Universe, the few Heaven-shocking Extremists consisted of eight entities.
Those known are ’Huang’, ’Taichu’, ’Cang’, ’Xi Yao’, ’Prison’, with three Heaven-shocking Extremists yet to appear.
These three were people who became Heaven-shocking Extremists during the Ancient Times, and no one could predict the variables involved.
"The First of Ancient Times!"
Upon hearing the pair’s accounts, Ye Xuan muttered, bringing forth an image of a person in his mind, a person from Huang’s memories, which weighed heavily on his heart.
Previously mentioned, the Desolate Heaven Technique ranks third among the eight Forbidden Heavenly Techniques, second is ’Cang’s’ Evil Sky Technique.
And the number one Forbidden Heavenly Technique is owned by this First of Ancient Times!
This person’s cultivation was incredibly terrifying, even in Huang’s memories, this First of Ancient Times was an exceptional enemy.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan only inherited a portion of Huang’s memory, knowing just the name and appearance of this First of Ancient Times, with all else unknown.
However, the fact that this person was held in such regard in Huang’s memories indicates that this First of Ancient Times was extremely formidable.
If this First of Ancient Times were to appear when the Eternal River is opened, even with Liu Baiyi and ’Cang’ safeguarding him, there might still be dire consequences.
But the die is cast, and Ye Xuan knows he must return to the past, for otherwise, he won’t reach the Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven realm.
