Chapter 707

"What kind of monster is this? It's only been three hundred years since he stepped into the God King realm; even if he opened the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao early and has nine true bodies, the time is so short... how could he have broken through to the second step of the World Dao?" The bald, purple-robed figure felt it was somewhat unfathomable.

As a spirit left behind by an Ashen Saint, he knew of some brilliant talents in history.

Over the long years, he had seen generations of universe powerhouses arrive, and he had also seen many geniuses.

But!

Among the historical figures he knew, there was almost no one who could be mentioned in the same breath as Li Yuan...

"The strength of his divine body has already reached the Emperor-level!"

"His realm is high, and it is also considered high among God Kings... give him some time, what level can he reach among God Kings?" The bald, purple-robed figure thought to himself, and even couldn't help but feel a trace of anticipation.

For a very, very long time, he had not experienced such emotional fluctuations.

He wanted to see how far Li Yuan could go in the God King realm... it was just that the bald, purple-robed figure understood that he could probably only think about it.

After all, he could not leave the Hundred Paths Palace.

"However, can this little guy still cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body' after stepping into the God King realm? According to the Emperor, it is only theoretically possible for an eighth-rank cultivator to cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body'." The bald, purple-robed figure also felt a bit nervous in his heart: "Moreover, I observe that his foundation surpasses the perfect ten-star pulse and is not inferior to the prototype of a Saint Body... if he can, would he be willing to cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body'?"

Before, he had never doubted this point, because the vast majority of God Kings, if given the opportunity, would absolutely be willing; this is a path to the heavens.

But Li Yuan was clearly not in this category.

The body becomes the world, the world is like oneself.

Hum.

Li Yuan's two true bodies manifested from the space again, and the vigorous aura emitted by his divine body had also quickly converged.

"Spent two thousand years in this secret chamber."

"Stepping into the God King realm, observing the transformation and evolution of the Inner Universe's origin... I still failed to open the Heart Tool Dao or the Great Destruction Dao, but instead pushed the World Dao to the second step." Li Yuan smiled slightly.

The breakthrough of the Eternal Dao is a fundamental transformation.

At this moment, in terms of the Dao realm, the gap between Li Yuan and the strongest batch of God Kings had narrowed significantly, and he could even rival some of the weakest Emperor-level existences.

Most Emperor-level existences break through with a high-stage Eternal Dao.

But there are also some weak Emperor-level existences who step into the fourth step with an ordinary Eternal Dao... it is just that this type of Emperor-level existence is extremely rare; relying on their powerful divine bodies and divine power, their strength is generally only slightly stronger than a sixth-rank quasi-saint.

In terms of the Dao, these weakest Emperor-level existences are actually inferior to some top-tier God Kings.

"World Realm second step."

"Now, I don't need to rely on the River of the World; relying solely on the mysteries of the World Dao, supplemented by powerful divine power, I can perform the move 'Void World River', and its power is much stronger than in the past." Li Yuan's mind stirred, and a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers became a self-contained space, completely isolated from the outside world.

Within the space, countless tiny cracks appeared, annihilating layer by layer.

If he were to encounter quasi-saints like Chu Yan again... under this move, they would likely fall directly.

Hoo!

Another thought arose in Li Yuan's heart, and the surrounding space quickly returned to normal.

"Stepping into the God King realm and stepping into the second step of the World Dao has indeed made my strength much stronger than before." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Although his goal was to open four Eternal Daos.

But it cannot be denied that his talent in the World Dao is the greatest, just as Xiaomu thought... if he cultivates step by step, there is a high probability that he can also step into the fourth step along the World Dao.

Just like a ten-star pulse can at least achieve the God King realm.

A perfect ten-star pulse, as long as one does not fall midway, achieving the peak of the Emperor realm is very easy.

Nothing else!

The Inner Universe is too perfect; just comprehending the mysteries of the Inner Universe's evolution is enough... this is the benefit of a strong innate foundation.

"World Dao second step."

"My domain, suppression methods, life-saving, exploration, and even material attacks will all be a big step stronger." Li Yuan familiarized himself with the newly mastered mysteries of the World Dao.

In the past, he relied on combining different Eternal Daos, relying on Emperor-level ultimate arts, relying on Emperor weapons, and even the joint efforts of multiple true bodies... only then did he have the strength of a fifth-rank quasi-saint.

But now!

With just a thought, Li Yuan believed that if he faced quasi-saint Xu Yao again, it would be enough to suppress the other party directly...

If facing some extremely terrifying God Kings.

"I turn my body into a world, merging into the endless space, which can significantly weaken the enemy's material attack power." Li Yuan thought to himself: "With the protection of the Wanxiang Armor, even a sixth-rank quasi-saint who is extremely skilled in slaughter would find it very difficult to harm me."

Let alone killing Li Yuan.

Right now, if Li Yuan were to use the River of the World, Wanxiang Armor, and Blood Tribulation Spear again, their power would be much stronger than in the past.

After all, Li Yuan's Dao and divine power were much stronger than when he first entered the Immortal Heaven and Earth.

"If I only stepped from the Heavenly God realm into the God King realm, relying solely on the transformation of divine power, I could only fight with sixth-rank quasi-saints, and I still couldn't be counted as a seventh-rank quasi-saint." Li Yuan understood.

The further one cultivates, the more important the power of the Dao becomes, and the greater its influence on strength.

The importance of the divine body and divine power constantly decreases as the realm improves.

"However, now that the World Dao has also broken through together."

"Then!"

"Even compared to God King Brother Zihuo... even if my strength is still a bit weaker, the gap shouldn't be large." Li Yuan estimated this point: "My divine power is endless and vigorous; at the very least, it is impossible for him to kill me."

Of course.

Li Yuan also knew that, looking across the vast universe, God King Brother Zihuo belonged to the peak batch of quasi-saints, but he was not the strongest; after all, he opened the Destiny Dao and the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao, and his greatest strengths were life-saving and deduction.

Therefore, when God King Brother Zihuo fights with many Emperor-level existences, he can only save his life, occasionally taking advantage of some special means.

In other dark domains, below the Emperor level, some extremely terrifying seventh-rank quasi-saints were born; the Eternal Daos they opened tended towards attack, and they had every hope of defeating some Emperor-level existences.

"Regardless."

"Now, looking across the vast universe at the countless eighth-rank cultivators, I am already in the peak batch." Li Yuan had a glow in his eyes.

After thousands of years in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, finally, he had the confidence to roam one side.

After the World Dao breakthrough, the bald, purple-robed figure did not urge him, and Li Yuan continued to cultivate at a steady pace; after all, the cultivation environment here was very good.

Moreover!

After stepping into the God King realm, Li Yuan was still thinking about how to absorb the essence of the "Hundred Paths Saint Body"...

"Origin!"

"The Universe Divine Body is essentially a framework method for the Inner Universe's origin; its strength lies in its inclusiveness, its perfection and heaviness, and its ability to bear multiple powerful Eternal Daos."

"And the Hundred Paths Saint Body is also a framework method for the Inner Universe's origin; it emphasizes the three Daos as the foundation, taking three Eternal Daos as the core, while simultaneously extending to other Eternal Daos..."

"Then, if I want to absorb the essence of both, I must reconstruct an origin, so that while retaining the perfect Inner Universe framework foundation, I can make multiple Eternal Daos merge more perfectly." Li Yuan thought constantly.

After stepping into the God King realm, the surge in soul willpower and thinking speed, as well as the improvement in realm, indeed gave Li Yuan more ideas.

Even constructing various possibilities for the Inner Universe framework in his heart.

Immediately.

He manipulated his divine power, operated the mysteries of the World Dao, and began to try them one by one outside his body.

"No!"

"This plan is too simple, the probability of failure is very high, and it will destroy the integrity of the Inner Universe..."

"This plan is theoretically feasible, but it is only theoretical."

"No, this framework is even worse..." Li Yuan tried them one by one, then constantly denied them, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper, gradually falling into a predicament.

The breakthrough in the great realm indeed turned his ideas from impossible to possible... but it was only possible, and he was still an unknown distance away from truly realizing it.

"My accumulation is not enough."

"My realm is not high enough... the reason I was able to cultivate into a perfect ten-star pulse was because I followed the Star God cultivation system." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Even if I have now achieved a Universe Divine Body, I have not transcended this cultivation system; it is just the ultimate form of this cultivation system."

This is a gift from heaven, not something I created myself!

I am following the path of my predecessors to get to where I am now.

And now, Li Yuan faintly understood that what he was about to do was to create his own path based on the Star God cultivation system, drawing on the ultimate arts of Emperor Baidao.

It's too difficult!

Whether it is the Star God cultivation system or the path of Emperor Baidao, they are already considered the top-tier paths below the Eternal level... even with the assistance of many techniques and rare treasures, with Li Yuan's current realm, wanting to absorb the essence of both and merge them into one body is still too difficult.

"I still need to cultivate more Emperor-level ultimate arts, and I still need to open more Eternal Daos... only after the accumulation is deep enough will there be hope." Li Yuan realized this point.

Once successful.

The achievement will be absolutely unfathomable.

It's just that Li Yuan did not dare to try it easily in the Inner Universe's origin... one move affects the whole body; without absolute certainty, Li Yuan would rather not move.

Time is like water.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years passed, and suddenly, Li Yuan noticed that the deduction efficiency of his two true bodies in the secret chamber had dropped sharply, as if covered by an invisible force, returning to the state before he entered the Hundred Paths Palace.

"That special cultivation blessing has disappeared?" Li Yuan's two true bodies opened their eyes at the same time.

Hoo! One of the true bodies had already hidden into the cave heaven magic treasure.

He did not hesitate any longer.

"Senior." Li Yuan looked directly at the bald, purple-robed figure at the highest point of the secret chamber.

"Sigh!"

A sigh sounded, and the bald, purple-robed figure flew down, looking at Li Yuan with a complex expression: "Before the breakthrough, the strength of your divine body was already comparable to the God King realm, and it was two true bodies cultivating at the same time... at that time, it should have been able to maintain your cultivation for one hundred thousand years."

"But you stepped into the God King realm, and the strength of your divine body is already comparable to the Emperor realm; wanting to maintain your cultivation under the pressure of the Eternal Saint Dao again consumes too much... even what the Emperor left behind can only allow you to cultivate normally for a few hundred years."

"After that, there will be no extra gifts." The bald, purple-robed figure said.

Li Yuan understood.

Even Supreme Beihe could help some God Kings cultivate normally in the Immortal Heaven and Earth for thousands or tens of thousands of years... Emperor Baidao is an existence of the Ashen Saint level, and what he left behind can help latecomers resist the special pressure of the Immortal Heaven and Earth; it certainly could help more than one Emperor-level existence for a few hundred years... but such precious resources certainly wouldn't be entirely consumed on himself.

"To have this opportunity, I am already very satisfied." Li Yuan said frankly.

How many quasi-saints, like God King Huanxin and God King Long Ya, yearn to cultivate normally for a period of time but cannot; to have such an opportunity is already very rare.

"Little guy."

"Your path is extremely strong; I observe that you are very close to opening the Heart Tool Dao and the Great Destruction Dao... once you open the third Dao, do you have the confidence to cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body'?" The bald, purple-robed figure stared at Li Yuan.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

Two thousand years, especially after becoming a God King, observing and comprehending the mysteries of the Inner Universe's evolution, his progress in the World Dao was the greatest.

But his deductions for the Heart Tool Dao and the Great Destruction Dao had also accumulated to an extremely deep level.

There is a possibility of opening the path at any time.

"It's just."

"I dare not deceive Senior." Li Yuan said respectfully: "Even if I open three Eternal Daos, in a short period of time, I probably won't cultivate the origin method of the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body'." The introductory chapter of the "Hundred Paths Saint Body" is essentially divided into two parts—the Body Refining Technique and the Origin Method!

The former is similar to the "Chaos Treasure Body", which is a body-refining ultimate art, but it is much deeper than the "Chaos Treasure Body", has extremely high requirements, focuses on cultivating the divine body, will make the divine body become tougher, and possesses incomparably terrifying power.

The latter, the "Origin Method", is the core of the "Hundred Paths Saint Body".

And if one wants to complete the requirements of Emperor Baidao, both the Body Refining Technique and the Origin Method must be cultivated.

"Why?" The bald, purple-robed figure couldn't help but say.

"I intend to combine it with the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body' to create a brand-new path." Li Yuan said frankly: "It's just that I can't merge them into one body yet."

"Merge?"

"You are too naive; your talent is indeed high, but you are still too immature. What kind of existence is my master, Emperor Baidao? This is the essence of his lifelong cultivation; how could it be so easily integrated into your own path?" The bald, purple-robed figure shook his head repeatedly.

Li Yuan looked at the other party calmly.

It is indeed difficult!

But in the beginning, whether it was achieving the ten-star pulse or later ascending Mount Zishan, which one was not difficult? But he eventually did it.

Wanting to become a super powerhouse.

First, one must have an unshakable heart.

"If you cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body', the prospects of this path are no less than your current one." The bald, purple-robed figure said: "If you achieve something, you can also get the rare treasures left by the Emperor."

"My own path suits me very well, so I am unwilling to give it up." Li Yuan said directly.

Reaching their level, each other's thought speed is extremely fast, many possibilities can be guessed, and what kind of vision and knowledge does the other party have?

Therefore, after making the decision, Li Yuan did not intend to hide or deceive the other party.

"You are quite honest." The bald, purple-robed figure sighed: "In that case, are you going to give up the treasures of the Emperor's Divine Palace?"

"If there is no other possibility, this junior can only give up." Li Yuan said.

This time.

It was the bald, purple-robed figure's turn to be silent... from his perspective, he was unwilling to give up on Li Yuan just like this; once missed, waiting any longer, let alone waiting for a peerless genius equivalent to Li Yuan.

Even if it was just a perfect ten-star pulse, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

A long time.

"Your name is Brother Xinyuan, right?" The bald, purple-robed figure said in a low voice.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

The other party is the spirit of the entire Hundred Paths Palace, and should be able to spy on everything in the Divine Wheel Lake; it is not strange that he knows his name.

"Quasi-saint Brother Xinyuan, I can give you one chance." The bald, purple-robed figure said slowly.

"Senior, please speak." Li Yuan said immediately.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Yuan was also unwilling to give up on what Emperor Baidao left behind easily; the other treasures were fine... but Li Yuan had only learned the introductory chapter of the "Hundred Paths Saint Body".

"Within the scope of my authority."

"I can teach you the first three chapters of the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body'." The bald, purple-robed figure said solemnly: "The final chapter cannot be taught to you."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

So, the "Hundred Paths Saint Body" actually had four chapters in total, and just the introductory chapter was so remarkable... one can imagine how remarkable the complete Hundred Paths Saint Body is.

"However, you must also make an Eternal Vow that you will never leak information related to the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body'." The bald, purple-robed figure said.

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded; this is as it should be.

"Additionally."

"You must also complete a promise." The bald, purple-robed figure said: "In the future, if you attain the Eternal Dao, or are fortunate enough to ask other Eternal-level existences for help, I hope you can engrave the name of my master, 'Emperor Baidao', forever on the origin of other Eternal Worlds."

"The Eternal level possesses unfathomable abilities."

"Endless years."

"My master has passed away... but perhaps, he can still be revived and return." The bald, purple-robed figure said in a low voice: "This is the only request."

"Engrave the name on the origin of the Eternal World?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.

According to what he knows now, the Immortal Heaven and Earth should be an Eternal World, self-contained with rules, self-contained with heaven and earth, and even the operation of the universe's rules cannot affect it.

"Has Emperor Baidao fallen?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Whether the master has fallen, I actually don't have absolute certainty; it's just a guess. Too much time has passed, it's been over a trillion years." The bald, purple-robed figure said in a low voice: "My master went to the Eternal Road of the Changhe Ancient Ruins back then, and he found traces of that legendary road... but he never returned, and I cannot sense him through the Hundred Paths Divine Wheel."

Li Yuan's heart trembled.

Over a trillion years?

In other words, the Divine Wheel Sea has a history of over a trillion years?

What kind of long years are these... it's enough for a universe to cycle and change a hundred times; no wonder in the intelligence of the Chaos Divine Court, the origin of the Divine Wheel Sea is not clear at all, only that it has existed since the Immortal Heaven and Earth was opened.

And from this, one can also infer a point.

At least a trillion years ago, the Immortal Heaven and Earth already existed... the Eternal Ruins have existed for such a long time, why have the Eternal-level existences never been seen?

"Does this promise not require me to make an Eternal Vow?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"No need!"

"When you have the ability to complete the promise, how could an Eternal Vow restrict you?" The bald, purple-robed figure shook his head: "Just like the Great Dao Vow, it has no binding force on the Emperor level."

"The Eternal Vow has very weak binding force on the Supreme level."

"On the Ashen Saint level... it is equivalent to nothing."

"Therefore, in the future, if your strength is sufficient, whether you are willing to complete this promise is all in your mind," the bald, purple-robed figure said slowly; he was just taking a gamble, if it could be done, it would be a great harvest.

If it didn't succeed?

As long as Li Yuan didn't leak the "Hundred Paths Saint Body", there wouldn't be much impact.

"Okay." Li Yuan said solemnly: "If this junior can do it in the future, I will definitely do my best."

"Hmm." The bald, purple-robed figure nodded.

Soon, Li Yuan made the corresponding Eternal Vow not to leak information about the "Hundred Paths Saint Body".

Hoo!

The bald, purple-robed figure waved his hand again, and clatter—a large amount of new information immediately appeared on the four white walls, and Li Yuan looked over immediately.

When his gaze fell on the wall.

"Hum—" A massive amount of information was directly poured into his mind, quickly leaving memory imprints on his soul; throughout the whole process, Li Yuan did not stop it.

Nearly a day's time.

With the strength of Li Yuan's soul now, he was only able to remember all the information about the first three chapters of the "Hundred Paths Saint Body".

"Truly worthy of being an Ashen Saint existence."

"Emperor Baidao, is this how he constructed the Inner Universe?" Li Yuan read it all through; although he could only understand a little about the origin methods of the second and third chapters for the time being.

But he could already spy on the high intent of Emperor Baidao in the construction of the Inner Universe's origin.

Three Daos as the foundation, ten thousand Daos coexisting, operating naturally... gave Li Yuan too much inspiration, and also allowed many of the puzzles that had arisen from Li Yuan's previous ideas to be solved again.

"It's a pity I can't see the fourth chapter." Li Yuan thought to himself.

The final chapter must contain the core mysteries of Emperor Baidao's cultivation.

"Should be content."

"Just these first three chapters are already of immeasurable value."

"Wait until my Dao realm is higher."

"With a deeper understanding of the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body', the hope of reconstructing the Inner Universe's origin will increase significantly." Li Yuan thought to himself: "Moreover, even if I can't cultivate the origin method."

"I still have hope of cultivating the body refining method."

The cultivation requirements for the body refining method are also extremely high; first, one must open any one of the Chaos Dao, World Dao, Ten Thousand Spirits Dao, or Ten Thousand Things Dao... and also have the assistance of two other Eternal Daos.

Right now, although Li Yuan had fully understood the introductory chapter, he could not cultivate it yet.

Although the requirements are high, once cultivated, the power is also extremely strong.

"Wait until I open another Eternal Dao, then there will be hope to cultivate the body refining method to the second chapter in one go, and then my strength will be able to improve significantly." Li Yuan thought to himself: "It's just that to cultivate it quickly, I still need many rare treasures."

Without external objects, relying solely on himself, it would take too long.

With the help of external rare treasures, it would be much faster.

"Brother Xinyuan."

"If you open another Eternal Dao, come back to the Hundred Paths Palace, and then I will guide you back to cultivate the body refining method." The bald, purple-robed figure said: "Now, I will send you away."

"Thank you, Senior." Li Yuan said.

Regardless of whether he cultivates the origin method, the body refining method is the foundation, and if the body refining method wants to be introduced, first, the three Eternal Dao intent fluctuations must be merged into one body.

It must be cultivated in this secret chamber space.

If in the outside world, Li Yuan wouldn't know where to find the matching Eternal Dao intent fluctuations.

"Go." The bald, purple-robed figure flipped his palm, and then an invisible space-time fluctuation swept past, causing Li Yuan to disappear from where he was.

The entire secret chamber became quiet again.

"Another one."

"Master."

"Although he is unwilling to cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Saint Body', according to your standards, Master, his potential is incomparably huge... even arguably the highest one in history."

"If Brother Xinyuan succeeds, he will be the fourth one I have chosen." The bald, purple-robed figure murmured to himself, with longing in his eyes, and also a trace of confusion: "I don't know if everything I do is of any help to you, Master."

Inside the Hundred Paths Palace, which is like a labyrinth, in a winding passage, there is a mighty river.

Plop—

Li Yuan appeared out of thin air and fell into the water flow.

"The Golden Armor Divine Guards are not here? Could it be another passage?" Li Yuan looked around, his mind stirred, and invisible world fluctuations spread to sense all directions.

Instantly.

Li Yuan noticed that there were several cultivators not far away, and whispered to himself: "Sure enough, as the Divine Court intelligence said, quite a few powerhouses from the Immortal Court have come in these few thousand years."

Almost at the same time.

"Hmm?"

"There are cultivators, such a familiar aura."

"Who is it?" The three quasi-saints, who were only tens of millions of kilometers away from Li Yuan, also noticed Li Yuan's aura at the same time.

Among them, a figure as black as ink was none other than quasi-saint Xu Yao, and hatred and excitement intertwined in his eyes: "It's quasi-saint Brother Xinyuan! It's him, that's right!"

(End of chapter)
