Chapter 391: The Path of Invincibility!

“Quite sensible.”

Lin Qing glanced with a faint, ambiguous smile at the spot where Prince Xuantu had vanished, said nothing, and then shattered the void to depart.

Meanwhile, Prince Xuantu, hiding far away, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed inwardly: “How did Qingying get involved with this prince? Thank heavens it didn’t drag me in…”

If any other Eternal had dared kill his subordinates at will, he would have certainly demanded an explanation, reported to the Emperor, or even launched a full-scale attack.

But this prince isn’t just the direct disciple of Emperor Guangwang—he’s the one who, centuries ago, effortlessly annihilated the main battle avatars of Yan Tian Hou and Cang Ye Hou!

He isn’t even at the peak of Eternity—how could he possibly provoke such a powerhouse?

“Thank heavens… thank heavens…”

Prince Xuantu took a deep breath. “Act as if I know nothing—just report it to the Emperor…”

Though this subordinate was highly capable, and his loss was regrettable, compared to his own future and life, it meant nothing.

…

Lin Qing directly returned to the Tian Guang Divine Nation through the River of Time and Space, selected a batch of treasures from the Treasure Hall, then re-entered the Flowing Years Pavilion of the Light Time Hall to begin seclusion.

“The Nine-Mind Sage—is said to possess humanity’s highest level of comprehension?”

Lin Qing’s eyes held a flicker of anticipation; his third eye stirred, and a streak of luminous light shot out, transforming into a handsome young man indistinguishable from an Earth human.

This was the original form of the Nine-Mind Sage—identical to the primordial human.

Yet the Nine-Mind Sage was born with genes capable of touching the Chaos limit, a divine talent for splitting the soul, and unparalleled comprehension.

“Let me see.”

Lin Qing immediately began reading the memories of the Nine-Mind Sage’s avatar: “So this is it—only cultivated for 8.6 billion years? Eighty-six billion years ago, caught in danger within Chaos, he left one heart behind at the edge of the Main Universe to preserve a sliver of life, hoping to be reborn through it after death. But unexpectedly, the ancestor of the Time-Space Island, fleeing the Great Extinction, found the heart and brought it into the Main Universe…”

Yet Chaos beings could not resist the will of the Universe—they could not enter the Main Universe.

The moment the Nine-Mind Sage’s heart entered the Main Universe, the Universe severed all connection to his original body—he couldn’t even remotely trigger its self-destruction.

Otherwise, the Nine-Mind Sage could have simply reshaped another heart, at the cost of losing all traces and memories of this one—merely needing to cultivate anew.

But this heart was in its nascent state, never yet cultivated; reshaping it would make no difference.

Over these eighty-six billion years, the Nine-Mind Sage had searched endlessly for his heart, yet the Void Sea connected to that edge of the universe numbered in the tens of thousands—how could he possibly find it so easily?

“In 8.6 billion years, he comprehended the complete Present Rule, two subtleties of the Past Rule, and the subtlety of Future Sight…”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but marvel: “Such terrifying comprehension—only 8.6 billion years?”

It seemed he had fully mastered the complete Future Rule in just a few million years—much faster.

But he was a Primordial God!

He possessed the heavenly advantage of being closest to the cosmic spacetime rules—comprehending them was a hundred or a thousand times easier!

Moreover, he had preemptively borrowed the subtleties of time, skipping the most tedious processes, needing only to integrate them himself—this alone cut half his progress.

Especially the final bottleneck of merging the three great subtleties—he had preemptively bypassed it entirely.

Without the Anti-Entropy, even with a Primordial God avatar, being stuck at this final bottleneck for hundreds of billions of years would be perfectly normal!

Even Xiao Ying Bo, also a Primordial God, reached the peak of Chaos life in a short time—but he’s been stuck at this final bottleneck for over ten billion years and still hasn’t broken through. This shows just how difficult it is.

And what of the Nine-Mind Sage?

He had no advantages whatsoever—purely through his own comprehension, he mastered the complete Present Rule, two subtleties of the Past Rule, and one subtlety of the Future Rule in just 8.6 billion years. His comprehension was terrifying beyond measure.

“If he had the advantage of a Primordial God avatar, he might advance a thousandfold faster—perhaps even achieve it in a few million years?”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

This level of comprehension was truly astonishing.

Without the Anti-Entropy, he himself might never have broken through this final bottleneck for countless eons.

And the Nine-Mind Sage had no special bloodline—his genes were merely 999 times the cosmic limit, no different from second-generation Chaos beings.

His divine talent was only one—

The Original Law.

The Original Law was the Nine-Mind Sage’s understanding of the infinite forces of Chaos. Under his soul perception, he believed all forces of Chaos could be divided into six fundamental units.

By combining and extending these six fundamental units, theoretically, any technique could be created!

The higher the comprehension, the more powerful the technique created.

Eternals who mastered complete spacetime rules and generated primordial energy within their inner worlds typically created only primordial-level techniques.

Ultimate beings could create supreme techniques only by basing them on the primordial energy of their inner universes.

Divine Nation lords, who governed the true cosmic primordial energy manifested as a divine nation, could create even more terrifying Divine Lord-level techniques based on true cosmic primordial energy.

But for the Nine-Mind Sage, he needed only to combine and extend these six fundamental units representing all forces of Chaos to create any technique.

Even without achieving Eternity, he could create primordial-level techniques—even supreme techniques!

Like this generation of the Nine-Mind Sage, now transformed into Lin Qing’s avatar, he had already created 654 primordial-level techniques and two supreme techniques.

He hadn’t even achieved Eternity—and yet he created supreme techniques?

This was utterly inconceivable!

Moreover… theoretically, there was even a slim chance he could create a Divine Lord-level technique!

After all, the foundation of a Divine Lord-level technique was merely one complete spacetime rule—only the Divine Nation lord’s cognitive height allowed him to create such terrifying techniques.

But the Nine-Mind Sage didn’t need such a high cognitive level—he still had a slim chance of creating a Divine Lord-level technique through the Original Law!

Thus, this divine talent was perfectly suited to the Nine-Mind Sage’s astonishing comprehension.

“No wonder the Nine-Mind Sage is a unique existence throughout the Infinite Chaos…”

Lin Qing murmured inwardly. “Truly an unimaginably intelligent lifeform…”

Other Chaos beings merely evolved naturally through eating and drinking to reach their peak. The Nine-Mind Sage was born only at the Void Sovereign level—every step forward required personal cultivation, like a human, through comprehension.

Early on, he was weak—but later, he could rival Duke-level beings!

“Even… there’s a slim chance he could evolve into a Chaos Lord?”

Thinking of this, Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

From the Nine-Mind Sage’s inherited memories, a new one was born only after the previous one died—but in the infinite eons of the Infinite Chaos, not a single Nine-Mind Sage had ever evolved into a Chaos Lord.

This step was far, far more difficult than a human evolving into an Ultimate.

Yet any Chaos being that did evolve into a Chaos Lord possessed power at least equal to a Divine Nation lord!

“Still, my avatar is already a Chaos Lord—let me focus on cultivation first.”

Lin Qing shook his head inwardly. “The Nine-Mind Sage can split into at most nine hearts—each heart mastering one spacetime subtlety, perfectly balanced, mutually unaffected—but even then, he can master at most nine, and usually doesn’t do this…”
