Chapter 243 The Forbidden Messenger
"Is this the world inside the Book of Cause and Effect?"
Su Yuan observed carefully.
Before examining the Book of Cause and Effect, Su Yuan naturally learned all the information about this supreme treasure from the gray mirror, including how to use it and whether there were any hidden dangers.
Only after everything was absolutely certain did Su Yuan take it out.
The core essence of the Book of Cause and Effect lies in the world within the book.
Su Yuan looked around.
The world inside the Book of Cause and Effect is an incomparably dark and profound boundless space.
Everywhere Su Yuan could see, there were countless specks of light floating about.
The vast majority of the light spots were dim, with only a very few shining brightly.
Among the very few points of light that shine, the amount of light they emit varies.
"This is the world of cause and effect, which corresponds to the endless living beings in the vast universe."
Su Yuan felt a deep sense of emotion, realizing that every point of light he saw corresponded to a life in the real universe.
The lives that have no causal relationship with Su Yuan are those gray specks of light.
The points of light that emit light are causally related to Su Yuan, and the depth of this causal relationship depends on the amount of light emitted.
"Ok?"
Just as Su Yuan was examining each of the points of light.
Suddenly, a point of light that had been dim suddenly brightened.
Su Yuan looked toward the point of light.
Images flashed through Su Yuan's mind.
This is a desolate planet, where a colossal life form, resembling an octopus with hundreds of tentacles, suddenly emitted a spiritual fluctuation.
"The human race has produced a powerful being who, upon entering the universe, has already condensed a top-tier sacred body? Just how much does the will of the universe favor the human race? Why can't my descendants produce such a genius?"
This octopus life form is a saint of a weak tribe. The entire tribe depends on him for support and longs for the tribe to become strong.
So after learning about Su Yuan's situation, these thoughts and ideas came to mind.
"When someone thinks of me, I sense it and can even cast my gaze upon them."
Su Yuan's thoughts raced. The Book of Cause and Effect, this supreme treasure, gave him the ability equivalent to comprehending the supreme rules of cause and effect.
"However, all I can do is know and see; it's unrealistic to expect to attack based on this negligible causal connection."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
He is not a supreme being of chaos. Even if he uses the Book of Cause and Effect to master a method similar to comprehending the supreme rules of cause and effect, he cannot be as unrestrained as a chaotic being.
The Supreme Being is able to attack based on a slight causal relationship because the Supreme Being's attack is so terrifying that even if only one millionth or one ten millionth of its power remains, it can easily kill a Saint or even a Great Saint.
Su Yuan continued to observe the point of light that represented the Octopus Saint.
Based on this point of light, it was discovered that several causal connections with the same essence could be felt throughout the universe.
"Is this a life-saving measure left behind by the other party, or a clone?"
Su Yuan thought to himself.
Whether it's creating a clone or using a means of survival and resurrection, it all originates from a single life, and the cause and effect are the same.
If one has a deep enough understanding of the supreme law of cause and effect, one can perceive the specific locations of all the enemy's resurrection methods, clones, incarnations, etc.
"My Destruction Holy Spirit Avatar."
Su Yuan's gaze shifted, looking at a distant point of light radiating endless brilliance.
This point of light corresponds to Su Yuan's Nine-Aperture Exquisite Destruction Holy Spirit Avatar. The two are the same person, bound by cause and effect, so it naturally appears incredibly dazzling.
"The cause and effect of the Holy Spirit are connected to the supreme law."
Through the connection between the two, Su Yuan saw not the Holy Spirit of Destruction, but a vast and all-encompassing supreme rule of destruction that encompasses all aspects of the universe.
In this state, one naturally cannot perceive other clones or resurrection methods that are causally related to the destruction of the Holy Spirit clone.
This is also why the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Holy Spirit's Destruction Avatar roamed the battlefield, yet no one noticed its relationship with Su Yuan.
Even the most supreme being, when observing the cause and effect of a holy spirit, sees only the vast and boundless supreme rules, just like Su Yuan.
"Let me take another look."
Su Yuan continued to observe the other light spots.
Of course, Su Yuan was observing the bright spots of light. As for the dim spots of light? They were equivalent to having no causal relationship whatsoever. Even with the help of the Book of Cause and Effect, no useful information could be observed.
On the top floor of a high-tech skyscraper, a red-haired, red-eyed man is contemplating the problems his family is currently facing.
This red-haired, red-eyed man is named Tega Chiyun. He cooperated with Su Yuan many times in his early years and eventually became the patriarch of the Chiyun family with Su Yuan's help. Therefore, the cause and effect between the two is very deep. With the help of the Book of Cause and Effect, Su Yuan can observe the other party at all times.
"Tega Red Cloud."
Su Yuan's eyes revealed a strange look.
Compared to the octopus saint from before, Tega Red Cloud was much weaker, only at the initial stage of stellar life, and his karmic connection with Su Yuan was very deep.
This confirmed Su Yuan's belief that even if his full-force attack was mostly depleted, leaving only one in a million or one in ten million of its power, it could still kill his opponent, following these complex causal relationships.
His gaze shifted.
Su Yuan looked at the other points of light again.
This time, what I looked at was a point of light that shone brightly, second only to the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Holy Spirit's Destruction Avatar.
In a daze, Su Yuan's gaze seemed to be obstructed by something, but the causal connection between this point of light and Su Yuan was too heavy and too numerous, and all the obstacles were pierced through.
Su Yuan saw a series of scenes. In the scenes, there was a blood pool filled with blood-red liquid, and a figure was sitting cross-legged on the blood pool, constantly absorbing and devouring the energy of the blood-red liquid in the blood pool.
Ye Kunlun
Su Yuan naturally knew who this figure was.
Ye Kunlun is currently located in the Ancestral Phoenix Blood Pool, a vital site of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
Using the pure Phoenix Ancestor bloodline from the Ancestral Phoenix Blood Pool, it continuously moves closer to becoming a life form in the universe.
"The ancestral star of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was crafted by the Phoenix Ancestor and can sever most of the causal forces. However, the causal relationship between me and Ye Kunlun is too heavy unless the Phoenix Ancestor is right there and personally intervenes."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
"It's about to become a cosmic life form."
Su Yuan glanced at Ye Kunlun again. Previously, he had always kept track of Ye Kunlun's condition through the gray mirror, but this was the first time he had observed him through the cause and effect between the two of them.
"Cause and effect. What is cause and effect?"
As Su Yuan continued to experience the cause and effect of all living beings and the beings with whom he had causal relationships, his understanding of the supreme rule of cause and effect naturally deepened.
This is also why Su Yuan chose the Book of Cause and Effect, so that he could observe the essence of cause and effect from all aspects.
The Void Realm, the Holy Land Continent.
After several days of exchanges, the nearly 90,000 Saints and Great Saints who came to visit were basically satisfied. As long as they could provide Su Yuan with the resources, treasures, and rare items he desired, they would receive a response, and the content of the response was exactly what the Saints and Great Saints needed at the moment.
For example, resources of similar value, or reminders and instructions.
Some saints and great saints, when they are in a period of confusion in their cultivation, do not even know how to proceed. However, after a few casual reminders from Su Yuan, they suddenly understand and are excited.
"Brother Su Yuan, it was such a pleasure talking with you. When can I visit you again?"
"Yes, Brother Su Yuan, I have a rare treasure that I obtained from a special secret realm. I wonder if I could take a look at it?"
"Brother Su Yuan, have you considered joining forces with me to explore a certain strange place? That place is permeated with the power of time and space; it's truly extraordinary."
Before leaving, each of the saints and great saints spoke.
"We'll talk about it when I have time; let's forget about the exploration."
Su Yuan said with a smile.
Through this transaction, he has basically gathered all the cultivation resources he needs to reach the Great Sage level and after becoming a Great Sage. It can be said that Su Yuan will not need to worry about resources before his final leap.
"Brother Su Yuan, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. I, Fan Yu, still have influence in the Demon Mountain Universe Human Empire."
"Great Sage Fanyu said excitedly."
He is over 90 million years old and his lifespan is about to end. He believes that becoming a chaotic life form is hopeless, so he longs to befriend Su Yuan in order to pave the way for his family's descendants.
Great Sage Fanyu knew very well that while he was alive, no force dared to lay a hand on his people, but what if he died?
When the nearly 90,000 Saints and Great Saints who had visited returned, they naturally told Su Yuan about the transaction.
This made those saints and great sages who had not visited feel a pang of regret.
The reason they didn't visit Su Yuan was that they were too lazy to do so and didn't want to lose face. As for the saints and great saints who were truly in seclusion, they were a minority.
But now, upon hearing that the saints and great saints who visited Su Yuan had indeed received tangible benefits, those saints and great saints who had not yet visited him naturally felt uneasy.
Inside the magnificent palace.
When Qinghuo Yuan first opened his eyes, he also received information from many saints and great saints about visiting Su Yuan.
"This Su Yuan seems to have his own unique understanding of the supreme rules. Even the supreme rules such as space, reality, and illusion, which he has not yet fully comprehended, can guide those saints and great saints?"
Qinghuo Yuanchu frowned. He originally did not believe this matter, but there were far more than just one or two Saints who said these words.
"I should also go and pay a visit."
A faint sense of regret welled up in Qinghuo Yuanchu's heart. If he could fully comprehend the illusory supreme rules, it would be helpful for the ultimate leap.
"Impossible. To comprehend the supreme rules, one can only rely on oneself. I have consulted many great sages who have thoroughly understood the illusory supreme rules, and even Lord Qingxu personally guided me. Even if Su Yuan were to guide me, it would be impossible for him to be of much help."
Qinghuo Yuanchu calmed his thoughts, still not feeling that Su Yuan could help him in any way.
Ultimately, one must rely on oneself.
Since he can't help himself, there's no point in him visiting or not.
Blue Star, Arctic Continent.
Su Yuan opened his eyes, his mind leaving the Book of Cause and Effect.
"With my current strength, I can only study the Book of Cause and Effect for a maximum of five days. Any longer, and the mental and physical strain will reach a level that affects my normal cultivation."
Su Yuan thought to himself.
As a supreme treasure, the Book of Cause and Effect allows users to temporarily gain the ability to fully comprehend the supreme rules of cause and effect, but it is impossible for it to be used without any cost.
During the process of comprehending the Book of Cause and Effect, a great deal of mental energy is required every moment, and excessive consumption of mental energy will affect cultivation.
In fact, for other powerful individuals, the Book of Cause and Effect is rather useless.
The Supreme Being has already comprehended the supreme rule of cause and effect, so there is no need for a book on cause and effect.
Below the highest level, very, very few would choose to fully comprehend the supreme rules of cause and effect.
On the one hand, the supreme rule of cause and effect is extremely obscure and difficult to understand. Even Su Yuan, relying solely on the Book of Cause and Effect, is only confident that he can comprehend 90% of the supreme rule of cause and effect.
As for those percentages after 90%, especially 98% and 99%, they become an insurmountable barrier.
Since the Great Cataclysm, except during the creation period when the supreme law of cause and effect manifested in the primordial land of the universe, a very small number of powerful life forms comprehended the supreme law of cause and effect before the Supreme Being.
There are no examples of cosmic beings comprehending the supreme law of cause and effect.
Putting away the Book of Cause and Effect, Su Yuan glanced at the world within his body.
After becoming a cosmic life form, Su Yuan's inner world had already reached a radius of ten trillion miles, with the World Mother Tree standing like a giant pillar supporting the sky in the center of his inner world.
At the top of the Mother Tree of the World, a stone radiating multicolored light floats there.
The immense power of the world continuously flowed in, slowly refining the five-colored stone.
The five-colored stone is called the Five-Colored Source Stone, and it is one of the ten treasures obtained in a trade with the Great Sage of the Heavens.
The Five-Colored Source Stone is a supreme treasure, related to Su Yuan's final leap in his plan.
"It will take a year to fully refine it."
Su Yuan looked at the five-colored source stone in his inner world and thought to himself.
This is already the fastest refining speed. After all, it is a supreme treasure. If it were in the hands of other Great Saints, it would probably take tens of millions of years to refine it.
"Next, I will comprehend the supreme rule of destruction and integrate it into the ultimate yin and yang, while also simultaneously comprehending the supreme rule of cause and effect."
Su Yuan's cultivation plan for the Saint stage appeared in his mind.
The primary focus is on integrating the supreme rules of destruction, while the secondary focus is on comprehending the supreme rules of cause and effect.
Time passed slowly.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Beyond the blue planet, a figure appeared silently.
This figure originally had no specific shape, but after appearing outside of Earth, it changed on its own, transforming into a middle-aged man who was 1.8 meters tall and conformed to the appearance standards of humans on Earth.
"interesting."
The middle-aged man carefully examined the blue star below, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.
When the middle-aged man reappeared, he was already on the Arctic continent.
"Ok?"
Su Yuan opened her eyes and looked at the middle-aged man standing there quietly.
In the vast universe, only the supreme beings and the nine forbidden secret realms know the exact location of his human body.
"Greetings, Brother Su Yuan."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan with a smile and spoke.
"Let me introduce myself. I come from 'Fangcunzhou,' which is what life forms in your universe call the forbidden secret realm."
The middle-aged man's expression turned slightly solemn. "On behalf of my master, I would like to cooperate with Brother Su Yuan."
