Chapter 244 Cultivation Results
There is a forbidden secret realm in the vast universe, so small that it is only an inch in size, also known as the 'Square Inch Boat'.
Compared to the magnificent and forbidden secret realms such as the Abyss, Heavenly Cave, and Wuliang Mountain, the 'Fangcun Boat' is unusually low-key, but its influence ranks among the top three of the nine forbidden secret realms.
Cultivators who comprehend the power of the Fangcunzhou are most adept at self-preservation and escape. Saints of the Fangcunzhou lineage are no less capable than mainstream saints who have comprehended the supreme rules of space.
Su Yuan looked at the smiling middle-aged man not far away, and his mind quickly flashed through a lot of information about Fang Cun Zhou and its owner.
In a daze, a silver-white flying boat, no bigger than a palm, appeared in Su Yuan's mind.
The next moment, the tiny flying boat suddenly became towering and majestic, even more imposing than the abyss or the celestial cave.
"Fang Cun Zhou"
Su Yuan stopped thinking about it.
If I continue thinking about this, I'll be establishing a causal relationship with the owner of that small boat.
Although the true form of that ship lord is located outside the vast universe, even if a causal relationship is established, it cannot harm Su Yuan, but it will be easier for the other party to observe him.
"So, Brother Su Yuan knows about my Fang Cun Zhou?"
The middle-aged man was also observing Su Yuan and spoke up.
Few beings know the true nature of the forbidden secret realms of the Great Universe, and even cultivators and evolvers within the forbidden secret realms themselves are quite ignorant about it.
"I know a little about it."
Su Yuan nodded.
Forbidden Realms are 'anchors' that the supreme beings of the past Great Cataclysm planted in the boundless void within the universe to absorb and devour the primordial power of the cosmos.
The various forbidden realms tirelessly pollute and assimilate cultivators and evolvers for this very purpose. In each forbidden realm, cultivators and evolvers, while comprehending forbidden power, also absorb the power of the universe to strengthen themselves.
This is exactly what the supreme being behind the forbidden realm wants to see.
Limited by the repulsion of the universe itself, the supreme beings in the outside world cannot directly absorb or devour any trace of the universe's energy source.
However, it can be absorbed and devoured in this way.
Just as wolves cannot directly eat grass to fill their stomachs, but can satisfy their hunger by eating grass-eating cattle and sheep.
"The cultivators in your universe are too hostile towards us. In fact, I was also a cultivator in the universe back then, but faced with the Great Cataclysm, I could only follow my master to the boundless void. Once I left, thousands of Great Cataclysm eras have passed."
The middle-aged man spoke with a sigh.
Su Yuan remained silent upon hearing this.
In the great cataclysm at the end of the universe, only the transcendent beings of chaos can survive and travel to the boundless void.
As for beings below the highest level of chaos, there is only one way to survive.
That is to actively integrate into the inner universe of the Supreme Being of Chaos and completely become a life form within the Supreme Being's inner universe.
Thus, they are not considered beings of the vast universe, but rather the 'private property' of the Supreme Being, and can therefore follow the Supreme Being to the boundless void.
Furthermore, since the rules within the Supreme Being's inner universe are entirely set by the Supreme Being, the so-called lifespan limit of billions of years for cosmic life can naturally be ignored as long as the Supreme Being nods.
The middle-aged man is like that; with the body of a cosmic being, he has lived through thousands of Great Cataclysm eras.
In other words, outside the universe, the middle-aged man witnessed the universe being destroyed and reborn thousands of times.
Of course, merging into the universe within the Supreme Being means that the upper limit is completely fixed, and any hope of going further is lost.
For example, the middle-aged man was a Great Sage before he merged with the universe, and he is still a Great Sage now. Moreover, the physical body he entered into the universe is just an avatar, and he barely managed to enter with the help of the power of the Fangcun Boat.
"In the universe, whether inside or outside, it all comes down to different perspectives."
Su Yuan spoke up.
The supreme being of chaos outside the universe feeds on the saints within the universe to sustain itself.
If a Great Sage in the universe can severely damage a forbidden secret realm during his final leap, it will increase the probability of him breaking through to become a Chaos Life form.
"Too."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan and said, "I wonder if Brother Su Yuan would be interested in cooperating?"
Tell me about it.
Su Yuan said.
In fact, Su Yuan already knew that the middle-aged man would come, and he even knew exactly how the other party wanted to cooperate.
However, such things naturally have to wait until the other party brings it up themselves.
"A transaction should, of course, satisfy both parties."
The middle-aged man got to the point, "My master can provide many secret techniques and forbidden knowledge from the Great Cataclysm era, which can help you make the final leap more easily. Of course, to obtain these, you must provide my master with what he desires."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then continued, "I know that with your status among the human race, you should have no shortage of supreme-level secret techniques. 'Chu' and the others will do everything possible to support your ultimate leap."
"But you must believe that no matter how wealthy or learned 'Chu' is, he cannot compare to my master. My master has experienced thousands of great destruction eras, and the secret techniques and forbidden knowledge he has mastered far exceed the imagination of your three supreme beings. This is something that strength cannot make up for."
Su Yuan didn't speak, he just listened.
That's true. Of the nine great secret realms in the universe, even the one with the shallowest foundation has gone through dozens or even nearly a hundred eras of great destruction.
While their strength may not be much greater than that of 'Chu', the secret techniques and forbidden knowledge they possess must be vast and boundless.
In fact, the forbidden realms and secret worlds within the vast universe are not only seeking cooperation and trade with Su Yuan, but every cosmic life form on the mainstream path will receive a visit from the envoys of the forbidden realms.
Behind each of the nine secret realms lies a supreme being, but these supreme beings rarely act directly within the universe. Therefore, to exert influence on the greater universe, one can only rely on life forms within the universe.
For example, those cultivators and evolvers who have been corrupted and assimilated by forbidden secret realms, as well as newly emerging cosmic life forms like Su Yuan.
The supreme being behind the forbidden realm prefers to cooperate and trade with beings like Su Yuan, because with the potential Su Yuan has shown, he is capable of dominating the starry sky in the future, and the stronger he is, the more likely he is to complete some difficult cooperative transactions.
"And what my master wants is also very simple, there are two kinds."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The first type is primordial treasures and rare gems, at least primordial treasures and rare gems at the level of cosmic life."
The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan and said, "With your status, you should know what primordial treasures and rare gems are."
"Ah."
Su Yuan nodded.
The so-called original treasures and rare gems mainly refer to those supreme treasures that are born from the universe itself.
These treasures contain immense primordial power of the universe. For those supreme beings in the boundless void, devouring a single primordial treasure is far more useful than devouring hundreds or thousands of corrupted saints.
The World Mother Tree within Su Yuan's inner world can be considered a primordial treasure, as can the Chaos Tree held by the Dragon Ancestor.
Of the ten treasures that Su Yuan traded with the Great Sage of the Heavens, four could be considered original treasures.
The great explosion of primordial treasures and rare gems occurred during the creation of the world.
"The primordial divine sword of your human race's 'first' was mainly forged from dozens of top-grade primordial treasures. If you can offer it to my master, you can make any request you want."
"That's what the middle-aged man said."
"The Primordial Divine Sword?" Su Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man.
They really dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment before continuing, “The second type is to create a special territory for cultivators and evolvers of my Fang Cun Zhou lineage to cultivate.”
The essence of this matter is to provide the supreme being behind Fangcunzhou with 'food' at the level of a saint.
In the Nine Great Secret Realms, cultivators and evolvers of the same lineage, once they cultivate to the Saint level, will almost always end up being eaten.
The reason why it is necessary to cultivate to the level of a saint is that those below the level of a saint cannot catch the eye of the supreme being behind the forbidden secret realm, nor can they play any role in making up for their shortcomings.
"There's no need to be averse to this kind of thing." The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan. "Your human race's 'beginning' was in cooperation with those two guys, the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave. Otherwise, how could the Human Empire of the Cavern Universe have been established?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Among the thirty-seven major human empires in the universe, the Cavern Universe Human Empire is the most unique, as it gathers a large number of cultivators from the Abyss lineage and the Heavenly Cave lineage.
Even its royal family members are like this.
"The Human Empire of the Hidden Universe"
Su Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
Countless ages ago, the Supreme Being 'Chu' made too many compromises in order for the rise of the human race and to break free from the oppression of the gods.
This includes cooperation with the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Cave.
In the beginning, after the rise of the human race, a territory was established specifically to cultivate cultivators of the Abyss and Heavenly Cave lineages. In return, the Lord of the Abyss and the Lord of the Heavenly Cave were invited to make a move in the boundless void outside the Great Universe.
It was that one move that caused the first god-king of the gods to be defeated, and the rise of the human race became unstoppable.
Actually, the concept of the Cave Universe Human Empire did not exist at the beginning.
Although the Supreme Being 'Chu' ultimately fulfilled his promise, he never intended to establish an empire. In fact, he planned to release more alien races into this territory so that they could cultivate the power of the Abyss Heavenly Cave.
After all, the content of the cooperative transaction was only to provide a territory, and there was no clear stipulation as to whether it was for human cultivators to practice.
Until the appearance of the founding emperor of the Human Empire of the Cave-Dwelling Universe.
The founding emperor of the Human Empire of the Cavern Universe, possessing both the power of the Abyss and the power of the Heavenly Cave, made the impossible possible by achieving a balance between the power of the Abyss and the power of the Heavenly Cave, forcibly blocking the repeated summons from the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave.
The founding emperor of the Human Empire in the Cave Universe also made the Supreme Being 'Chu' discover that cultivators and evolvers of the forbidden secret realm's power are not necessarily 'eaten'.
In addition, the Supreme Being 'Chu' agreed to the establishment of the Human Empire of the Cave-Dwelling Universe only after the request of the founding emperor.
The ultimate goal of the Human Empire of the Cavern Universe is to create a method that can completely resist the summoning of the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave.
The founding emperor of the Human Empire in the Cavern Universe blocked hundreds of summons, but he could not stop the last one and was 'devoured' by the Abyss and the Heavenly Cave.
"So, are you interested in collaborating?"
The middle-aged man looked at Su Yuan and asked.
"We can cooperate."
Su Yuan nodded.
The reason he let the middle-aged man talk so much was naturally because he had plans to cooperate.
"Oh? Which forbidden technique do you want? My Fangcunzhou has a technique that can forcibly merge with the origin of the universe before the final leap, allowing you to control the final leap from the perspective of the universe."
The middle-aged man immediately spoke.
The essence of this forbidden secret method is to force oneself into a state of great enlightenment.
"I do not want forbidden secrets, nor do I want forbidden knowledge."
Su Yuan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I want the owner of the Fangcun Boat to grant me one request at some point in the future."
"What is it?" The middle-aged man immediately became interested.
For life in the universe, the most important thing is their ultimate leap.
"We'll find out when the time comes," Su Yuan said.
He wanted the owner of the Fangcun Boat to agree not to provide assistance to the ancestral land of the Tianfeng Clan.
In the near future, when Su Yuan begins his scheme against the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, at the last moment, the clan leader will seek help from the supreme being behind the forbidden secret realm.
The supreme being behind the forbidden realm, though unlikely to directly intervene within the greater universe and unleash a supreme-level attack.
Even if it's done indirectly, it's still a troublesome matter. That's why Su Yuan is here to cut off the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's last resort.
"interesting."
The middle-aged man scrutinized Su Yuan for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I will report your request to my master."
After saying these words, the middle-aged man vanished from the spot.
"The Heavenly Phoenix Clan."
Su Yuan fell into a brief moment of thought.
The Heavenly Phoenix Clan is ultimately the power of the Phoenix Ancestor, who is the fourth supreme being in this era of great destruction, and whose power and methods are unfathomable.
Even though Phoenix Ancestor is not in the universe at this moment, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan he left behind is still a behemoth.
To achieve one's goals within such a powerful force, one must consider various unforeseen variables.
As for the costs that would be incurred after cooperating with the Forbidden Secret Realm, Su Yuan naturally had ways to avoid them. He would neither provide original treasures and rare gems nor open up a territory to cultivate cultivators and evolvers of the Forbidden Lineage.
The next six months.
Besides Fangcunzhou, other forbidden and secret realms such as the Abyss, the Heavenly Cave, and Wuliang Mountain also sent envoys to visit Su Yuan and try to cooperate in trade.
Su Yuan received them all and maintained relationships with the various forbidden and secret realms.
After all, Su Yuan needed to use the forbidden secret realm before plotting against the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, so it wasn't appropriate to offend them too much.
"More than half a year"
On Blue Star, Su Yuan opened his eyes and began to examine his gains over the past six months since becoming a cosmic life form.
Deep within the sea of consciousness, a gray mirror surface churned and rippled, revealing characters one by one.
