Yuan’s Ascension

Chapter 1112: The Nine Megaverses Spacetime (1)

In the Greenridge Macrocosm, at the Yuan Realm headquarters.

My qi refiner self has arrived at the divine court headquarters and will soon enter the cosmic sea. Wu Yuan’s body refiner self murmured to himself.

There were multiple ways to enter the cosmic sea, the most common being to traverse the numerous interstitial spacetime passages formed between the cosmic sea and the River of Universes.

Another method was to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth through sheer power. Someone like Wu Yuan’s body refiner self, when exerting full strength, came very close to breaking those constraints. Specifically, an attack at the peak fifth-stage Overlord level could break the light speed limit in the Spacetime Intersection Layer. This would allow one to leave the River of Universes and enter the cosmic sea directly.

With that level of power, one is destined to achieve eternity. Wu Yuan sighed inwardly. It means heaven and earth can no longer constrain one in the slightest.

At peak fourth-stage Overlord power, one had only a ten percent chance of success with Dao Breaking.

But with fifth-stage Overlord power, one usually had a ninety percent success rate when achieving eternity through Dao Enlightenment, and an extremely low chance of failure.

And at peak fifth-stage Overlord power? One could absolutely achieve eternity via Dao Enlightenment; it was just a matter of when one was willing to do so.

With my two true selves working together, I could break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and enter the cosmic sea. Wu Yuan mused to himself. However, this being my first time entering the cosmic sea, it’s best to be cautious. I’ll go to the Saint Realm first, then take the spacetime passage to Ancient Dream Mountain.

Though he was eager to rescue Sovereign Lan Yan, Wu Yuan would not be careless.

Ancient Dream Mountain? Wu Yuan’s body refiner self shook his head slightly and closed his eyes.

Though his ether body’s combat power was far inferior to his body refiner self, it could still exert fifth-stage Overlord-level power. It was strong enough to protect his qi refiner self at critical moments.

…

In the Ling Jiang Universe, at the Taiyuan Divine Court headquarters.

Whoosh! Wu Yuan’s qi refiner self traversed spacetime, silently arriving at his own hall within the divine court headquarters.

The temple was magnificent and imposing, surrounded by countless worlds, and home to a vast number of sempiternal lifeforms.

Wu Yuan rarely visited this hall, but it was still guarded year-round by numerous Astral Monarchs.

“Greetings, Overlord,” the Sovereign guard captain and a large number of Astral Monarch guards all bowed respectfully, filled with excitement.

This was the first time the Overlord had arrived since the hall was established hundreds of thousands of years ago.

“Mm.” Wu Yuan nodded slightly, taking a step through the void to enter the hall.

Two figures were already waiting inside.

“Overlord Ming Jian, you’ve finally arrived,” said Overlord Xin Ya, who seemed shrouded in endless black mist, laughing heartily. “Saint Zuo Zai has been waiting for some time.”

Beside Overlord Xin Ya stood a figure in white robes, his aura ethereal and vast. He seemed to exist beyond this realm and was brimming with spiritual resonance. However, his vital aura was not particularly strong, even weaker than Overlord Xin Ya’s.

“Overlord Xin Ya.” Wu Yuan nodded slightly, then turned to the white-robed figure. “Saint Zuo Zai, my apologies for keeping you waiting.”

“Haha, not at all, I only just arrived myself,” the white-robed figure smiled. “Seeing is believing. Tales of Overlord Ming Jian circulate throughout the Saint Realm and even the Alliance, all saying you’re destined to achieve eternity through Dao Enlightenment in the future. Meeting you today, I see the rumors are not unfounded.”

“You flatter me,” Wu Yuan smiled.

Saint Zuo Zai was an extraordinary Saint under True Saint Taiyuan. However, Wu Yuan could see that the body before him was merely Saint Zuo Zai’s mana body.

Only with an Eternal Psyche could one’s mana and ether evolve into eternal mana and eternal ether.

Therefore, the mana bodies and ether bodies of eternal powerhouses, even those of True Saint Eternals and Dao Zenithel Eternals, were still fundamentally sempiternal lifeforms. They could only unleash extreme power by relying on their high Dao cultivation levels.

Saint Zuo Zai’s mana body’s mana reserves were on par with Overlord Xin Ya and Wu Yuan’s qi refiner self. But with his Dao cultivation level, he should have peak Perennial level power. [1]

However, when his mana body or ether body entered the River of Universes, subject to suppression, the power he could exert was only that of a second-stage Overlord.

So though he seemed extraordinary at first glance, he was not even a match for Overlord Xin Ya or Overlord Jiang Meng within the River of Universes. This was also why Saint Hong Yun and Saint Da Yang had to send their true selves when they entered the River of Universes to hunt down Devil Emperor Xia.

In a nutshell, the mana bodies and ether bodies of eternal powerhouses were still fundamentally sempiternal lifeforms.

“Overlord Ming Jian, shall we head to the Saint Realm first?” Saint Zuo Zai smiled.

“Alright,” Wu Yuan nodded.

When preparing to enter the cosmic sea, the first thing he did was send a message to True Saint Taiyuan. After all, his qi refiner self’s public identity was that of a monstrous prodigy of the Taiyuan Divine Court. When making his way through the cosmic sea, he would need to do so under the identity of a powerhouse under True Saint Taiyuan.

Subsequently, True Saint Taiyuan had dispatched Saint Zuo Zai to escort Wu Yuan over.

“Xin Ya, Overlord Ming Jian and I will be off then,” Saint Zuo Zai looked at Overlord Xin Ya.

“Very well, Saint. We’ll chat again another time,” Overlord Xin Ya smiled, appearing quite polite.

“Xin Ya, I’ll be going now,” Wu Yuan nodded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Spacetime fluctuations surrounded Wu Yuan and Saint Zuo Zai as they entered the Spacetime Intersection Layer.

Soon, they vanished from Overlord Xin Ya’s perception.

Ming Jian? Wu Yuan? Overlord Xin Ya sighed inwardly. Just his qi refiner self alone commands such courtesy from Saint Zuo Zai.

Saint Zuo Zai’s attitude towards him carried a hint of condescension. This was normal. Overlord Xin Ya had traversed the cosmic sea for many years and was long accustomed to the lofty attitudes of eternal powerhouses.

But comparing that with the Saint’s attitude towards Wu Yuan, Overlord Xin Ya couldn’t help feeling a bit dejected.

Jealous of Ming Jian? Don’t be ridiculous. If Ming Jian truly achieves eternity via Dao Enlightenment in the future, I might get a chance to become a Heaven’s Stowaway. If he becomes a Saint or even a True Saint, I’d be relying on him. Overlord Xin Ya thought to himself.

He had his own plans. Within the universe, Overlord Xin Ya was the number one figure in the Taiyuan Divine Court, the one in charge. But in the vast cosmic sea, there were many eternal Perennial lifeforms in each Saint Realm. Only those who had pioneered their own Daos could be considered in the upper echelons of a Saint Realm.

…

Wu Yuan and Saint Zuo Zai traveled through the Spacetime Intersection Layer, arriving in a rather mysterious expanse of spacetime after just a moment.

“This is the passageway to the Saint Realm,” Saint Zuo Zai pointed to the somewhat chaotic region of spacetime in the distance.

The Saint Realm passageway? Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes. He could sense it, but only felt a hazy blur in his perception. He couldn’t discern any passage at all.

“Haha, can’t see it? That’s to be expected. Overlord Ming Jian, though you specialize in Spacetime, you’re ultimately not yet eternal,” Saint Zuo Zai smiled. “This passageway was opened by a True Saint, so naturally it can’t be easily perceived.”

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

Why could the True Saints of various Saintdoms establish anchor points within universes? The key lay in the special spacetime passageways formed between the Saint Realms they had established and the universe. Through this passageway, one could quickly travel back and forth between the Saint Realm and the Saintdom headquarters.

“If we flew through spacetime as per usual, it would take a million years at minimum to reach the Saint Realm,” Saint Zuo Zai said. “But through the Saint Realm passageway, we can arrive in just a hundred years.”

“Mm.” Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

“Overlord Ming Jian, the True Saint said he previously gave you a token. You can try it out,” Saint Zuo Zai said. “I’ve already transmitted the specific activation teachings to you through the voidrealm.”

“A token?” Wu Yuan suddenly realized, immediately retrieving that token and quickly figuring out how to use it.

Whoosh~ What was once a haze of chaotic spacetime slowly came into focus before Wu Yuan. Within it, a faint passageway was vaguely visible, formed by tearing through the membrane of the River of Universes. It led towards unfathomable, unknown depths.

“I see it,” Wu Yuan said.

“Mm.” Saint Zuo Zai nodded with a smile. “As expected of Overlord Ming Jian. When other Overlords of the divine court entered the cosmic sea for the first time, most took quite a while just to sense it.

“Alright, let’s go. This is your first time entering the cosmic sea. I imagine you’ve done a great deal of research in preparation, but I must remind you, no amount of intelligence or information can fully describe the vastness and wonders of the cosmic sea.
