Ancestor of the Evergreen Tree
Chapter 292 Ancestor of the Evergreen Tree
The virtual world.
The Supreme Being of Demon Mountain and the Supreme Being of Floating Pagoda were looking at Su Yuan with utter shock.
Chaotic life transcends the universe and has no concept of lifespan; theoretically, it is an eternal and immortal being.
However, it is equally difficult for chaotic beings to improve their strength.
After the beginning of the era of heaven and earth, the supreme rules of time were broken, and the cultivation of the supreme beings could only be achieved by continuously expanding the breadth of their own path system.
Expanding one's horizons is akin to groping in the dark, without direction or reference points. No one knows whether the direction they are exploring is correct or how it will enhance their strength.
Or, to put it another way, is it possible to improve one's own strength?
These are all unknown.
If you're unlucky and choose the wrong direction to expand your power, you might cultivate through countless Great Cataclysm Eras and still not improve your strength much, remaining stuck at the first level.
There are traces to be found in the cultivation of life stages in the universe.
However, cultivation during the chaotic life stage can be described as having no goal whatsoever.
When Su Yuan was in the cosmic life stage, he destroyed the nine forbidden secret realms and entered the chaotic life stage, and was already comparable to the supreme beings of the third level.
This only shows that the road system pioneered by Su Yuan was incredibly terrifying and unique, with a very high starting point, and was exceptionally frightening from the very beginning.
However, after becoming a chaotic being, as long as Su Yuan continues to choose the path of expanding his own path, his progress in strength will inevitably slow down significantly.
This is an inevitable consequence of expanding the scope of business.
However, only ten thousand years later, based on the spear thrust out by Su Yuan, the supreme beings of Demon Mountain and Floating Pagoda determined that its power far exceeded that of ten thousand years ago.
Su Yuan's strength has undergone another qualitative change in the past ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years is nothing to mention for chaotic life, or even to cosmic life or interstellar life.
"The advantage of weapons is that no matter how powerful they are, they still rely on the user to activate them," Qingxu couldn't help but say.
Even a top-tier creation treasure as powerful as the God King's Crown can only unleash its terrifying power in the hands of the First God King.
Even if it falls into the hands of a second-level supreme being, it still cannot defeat a third-level supreme being.
"Su Yuan, your strength has entered the fourth level," the Demon Mountain Supreme asked in a low voice, swallowing hard.
Within the vast universe, the supreme beings are divided into three levels, with the strongest third level being the First God-King.
However, if we include the boundless void beyond the universe, the strength of the supreme beings can be divided into five levels.
The strongest supreme being is the fifth level supreme being.
Of course, the supreme being within the universe is different from the supreme being outside the universe.
Even a supreme being of the fifth level outside the Great Universe would not be willing to take action against a supreme being of the third level within the Great Universe.
It's not that their strength is inferior to that of the third-tier supreme beings, but rather that the price they pay is too high.
Using the methods of a fifth-level supreme being, a full-force attack would be enough to severely injure a third-level supreme being, and could very likely directly and completely annihilate the main combat body of a third-level supreme being.
But then what?
A full-force attack from a fifth-level supreme being would be extremely taxing on them, and given the environment of the boundless void, it would take them countless great cataclysmic eras to recover.
However, even if the supreme being in the universe is completely annihilated in physical form, they can still recover within millions or tens of millions of years by relying on other main combat avatars, resurrection vessels, and the infinite replenishment from the origin of the universe.
Therefore, if a supreme being of the third level in the universe truly goes mad, the supreme beings of the boundless void will choose to retreat and yield.
Unless there is a sufficiently great benefit, the supreme being of the boundless void will not directly clash with the supreme being of the greater universe.
Of course, the supreme being within the vast universe will not easily clash with the supreme being in the boundless void.
After all, he would eventually enter the boundless void, and without the infinite power of the universe to replenish him, having too many enemies would be very dangerous.
"Fourth level. Still a little short."
Su Yuan shook his head slightly.
In fact, the path Su Yuan took was similar to that of the chaotic beings of the origin era.
By integrating the supreme rules of time, it continuously elevates the level of the path system it has pioneered.
However, the supreme rule of time that Su Yuan integrated was not complete; rather, he integrated it bit by bit as he comprehended it.
The improvement in strength is not a one-time, large-scale increase.
"Just a little bit more?"
The High One of the Demon Mountain twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.
In terms of years of cultivation, his was many times longer than that of the highest-ranking monks in Buddhism.
However, after such a long period of cultivation, the Supreme Being of Demon Mountain still had not entered the second level. He vaguely realized that the path of infinitely large physical body that he was pursuing was not the right one.
Even if the physical body is enormous, so what? It's just a sitting duck. The third-level supreme being can't do anything to the Demon Mountain supreme being, but the Demon Mountain supreme being can't even do anything to the third god-king of the god race, who isn't even a first-level supreme being.
Moreover, even a massive physical body has its limits, as does the upper limit of one's mental will. The Supreme Being of the Demon Mountain had a feeling that if his physical body were to grow another six times larger, it would reach its limit, and if it continued to grow larger, it would exceed the control of his mental will.
"That's amazing."
The Supreme Being of Demon Mountain sighed. It was only through personal experience that he understood how incredible it was that the Supreme Being Su Yuan had reached the level of being just a little short of the fourth level of Supreme Being in a mere ten thousand years.
"The Fourth Level Supreme Being"
The Supreme Being of the Floating Pagoda looked at Su Yuan as if he were looking at a monster.
He was unaware of the Great Cataclysm from too far back, but in the last hundred Great Cataclysms, no Supreme Being had ever emerged who could advance to the fourth level within a single Great Cataclysm cycle.
Those supreme beings of the fourth level in the boundless void all entered the boundless void after their respective great universes were destroyed, and then went through one long era of great destruction after another before finally stepping into it.
Su Yuan smiled, put away his black spear, and chatted with the Supreme Beings of Futu and Demon Mountain for a while.
"By the way, Su Yuan, how about establishing a high-level human empire in the universe?"
The supreme being of the Buddha seemed to have thought of something and asked a question.
The advanced cosmic human empire is the exclusive domain of chaotic life.
The three advanced cosmic human empires of the human race correspond to the three supreme beings: 'Beginning', 'Mountain of Demons', and 'Floating Pagoda'.
Only by becoming the supreme being can one be qualified to establish a high-level cosmic human empire.
"Forget it, I'll focus on cultivation instead."
Su Yuan shook his head.
The High One of the Demon Mountain and the High One of the Floating Pagoda established the Advanced Universe Human Empire after realizing that their own progress in strength was extremely slow, or even stagnant. They only decided to create an Advanced Universe Human Empire on a whim.
There might be a sliver of hope that the next chaotic life form of the human race could be cultivated.
But Su Yuan is different.
His skills are improving every moment.
There's no need to scatter time and energy on building a high-level human empire in the universe.
"That's true. Su Yuan, your own cultivation is far more important than establishing any kind of cosmic empire."
The highest being of the Buddha nodded in agreement.
After leaving the virtual world.
Su Yuan returned to Blue Star once again.
On the Arctic continent, Su Yuan sat casually on a giant rock, while Fan Yuxing stood respectfully behind him.
After successfully occupying the Jade River Secret Realm, Su Yuan told Fan Yuxing to return to Blue Star and wait for him.
"Teacher," Fan Yuxing said respectfully, bowing deeply.
At this moment, Fan Yuxing finally realized just how fortunate he was to have been accepted as a disciple by Su Yuan. Countless geniuses and prodigies among the human race longed to become Su Yuan's disciples but could not attain it, and yet he had encountered this opportunity.
"How's your cultivation going lately?"
Su Yuan asked casually.
In fact, through the gray mirror, he knew everything about the cultivation of Fan Yuxing, even better than Fan Yuxing himself.
"The more I cultivate, the more I realize how difficult it is."
Fan Yuxing told the truth.
He possessed the greatest talent for the supreme rules of space, and it only took him a little over a thousand years to comprehend them.
However, the second type of true supreme rule took four thousand years to develop, and the third type of illusory supreme rule took eight thousand years to develop.
With the foundation laid by Su Yuan, and having comprehended the three supreme rules, Fan Yuxing quickly integrated these three supreme rules and entered the Great Saint realm.
Upon reaching this point, Fan Yuxing realized that he was nearing his limit.
To comprehend the fourth supreme rule, perhaps millions or tens of millions of years? The fifth supreme rule? Tens of millions of years? The sixth supreme rule, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is impossible to comprehend.
As for impacting chaotic life forms? Fan Yuxing had absolutely no confidence in doing so.
"This is the path of spiritual practice."
Su Yuan glanced at Fan Yuxing.
His purpose in nurturing Fan Yuxing was to repay the human race for their protection of him.
And Fanyu Star did indeed fulfill Su Yuan's request. Over the past ten thousand years, more than half of the thirty-odd cosmic human empires that the human race has expanded into have received assistance from Fanyu Star.
Especially after he entered the realm of Great Saints, the key battles he participated in influenced the establishment of a human empire in a medium-sized universe.
"Life in the universe is ultimately fleeting; transcendence is the ultimate pursuit."
Su Yuan said casually.
Only by transcending life can one escape the limitations imposed by lifespan.
"Transcendence."
Fan Yuxing gave a bitter smile.
The so-called transcendence is to become a chaotic life form.
However, becoming a chaotic life form is extremely difficult.
The deeper one cultivates at the Great Sage level, the more one can appreciate the incredible nature of chaotic life.
Do you want to transcend?
Su Yuan stood up and looked at Fan Yuxing.
Under normal circumstances, Fan Yuxing has absolutely no chance of transcending his own destiny.
But this is the result of Su Yuan not interfering under normal circumstances.
If Su Yuan were willing to intervene, he could naturally help Fan Yuxing change his original fate.
In fact, if Su Yuan is willing and pays a sufficient price, he can help any life form become a supreme being of chaos.
With the gray mirror present, Su Yuan knew the specific methods and paths for every life to become the supreme being.
However, this kind of thing would waste a lot of Su Yuan's time, distract him from his efforts, and cost him many treasures.
Su Yuan would only consider a disciple like Fan Yuxing.
Fan Yuxing has high talent and a solid foundation. Changing his destiny and leading him to the highest level is not too difficult for Su Yuan, and the price to pay is also much lower.
"miss you!"
Upon hearing Su Yuan's words, Fan Yuxing was briefly stunned before immediately kneeling down. "Teacher, I want to transcend."
Before hearing Su Yuan's words, Fan Yuxing had no idea which supreme being could help with transcendence.
Over the years, Fan Yuxing has developed an almost blind worship for Su Yuan. Even if Su Yuan asked him if he wanted to transcend, Fan Yuxing would believe it.
"Row."
Su Yuan nodded, then flipped his right hand over.
Fan Yuxing felt as if the sky had darkened.
When he could see his surroundings clearly again, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
The near-tangible fluctuations of supreme rules permeated the surroundings, and the many bottlenecks and constraints that had previously trapped the Brahma Star melted away as quickly as ice and snow.
"This is...this is the Origin Land? Am I in the Origin Land?"
Fan Yuxing, realizing what was happening, finally understood where he was.
In the vast universe, apart from the primordial land, where else could there be such a dense fluctuation of supreme rules?
Isn't it said that entering the Origin Land is extremely difficult? And that it requires a supreme treasure like the Heart of All Origins?
"I will cultivate here for the next ten million years."
Su Yuan directly brought Fanyu Star to the deepest part of the Origin Land, to the seventh continent.
That is, the Yuan Continent named after Su Yuan.
"it is good"
Fan Yuxing nodded blankly.
Little did he know that he was the second life form to enter this Primordial Continent. Even the first god-kings of the creation era, such as the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor, had never entered before.
"Ah."
Su Yuan glanced at Fan Yuxing.
Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan learned that Fan Yu Star would comprehend the four supreme rules within the next tens of millions of years.
In addition to the three supreme rules he had already comprehended, Fan Yuxing will comprehend the seven supreme rules.
As for the eighth supreme rule, even with the assistance of the seventh continent of the Origin Land, it would take Fan Yuxing two hundred million years to comprehend it, far exceeding his lifespan.
Not every life form can comprehend the eight supreme rules after entering the Origin Land. Of all the powerful life forms in the creation era, only a few ultimately comprehended the eight supreme rules.
"The Path to Transcendence."
Su Yuan left the Origin Land, having already devised a path to transcendence for the Brahma Star. Cultivating in the Origin Land for tens of millions of years was only the first step.
The boundless void has no boundaries.
It was like a lake that had been plunged into eternal stillness, without the slightest ripple.
Compared to the conflicts and contradictions among the supreme beings in the vast universe, the supreme beings in the boundless void are very cautious about engaging in combat and will not take action unless absolutely necessary.
After all, there is no energy replenishment in the boundless void. Every move is a consumption, and even the supreme beings cherish every bit of their power.
Even the vast majority of supreme beings, unable to anchor themselves into the greater universe, will fall into a deep sleep to reduce their losses.
Rumbling--
suddenly.
In a certain part of the boundless void, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, clearly indicating that a supreme being was making a move, and only a supreme being of at least the third level could exert their full strength to cause such a commotion.
In an instant, all the supreme beings of chaos turned to look at the source of the burst of energy.
"It's the Evergreen Tree Ancestor. Is a supreme being attacking the Evergreen Tree Ancestor?"
The island lord of Time and Space frowned, and a scene appeared before him: a colossal tree reaching to the heavens swayed, its branches and leaves shaking, constantly resisting terrifying attacks.
