Chapter 374 Sparring and Guidance
"Our Immortal Alliance faction also has eight native Origin Emperor level cultivators."
"Originally there were 14 people, accounting for one-third of the top experts in the entire Yuanhe World at that time."
"1
Tianxian Xingjun, as the one who initially oversaw the development of the Origin River World, recounted the changes in the situation of the Origin River World over the years: "At the beginning, we adopted a policy of appeasement, wanting to establish our power in the Origin River World, and then gradually grow stronger and encroach upon it by relying on the advantages of the Immortal Alliance. At that time, we had already won over a group of top forces and top experts in the Origin River World, and even cultivated three genius Origin Emperors who came from independent cultivation."
"Unfortunately, we were first suppressed by Jianhe Palace, one of the four great ancestral river palaces, and later attracted the attention of the Yuanhe Great River Spirit, whose outsider status was discovered. The powerful figures we had once recruited were forced to choose sides."
"A group left, a group died, and only those three rogue cultivator geniuses remained. After the Supreme True Monarch suppressed the Great River Spirit, and thousands of years of development took place, our occupied territory has only nurtured five new Source Emperors—"
Listening to Tianxian Xingjun's narration, Ye Yang felt as if he had been pulled back to that era, when the three Xingjuns joined forces to enter the Yuanhe World, leading the then sixth-order Ji Miao Zhenxian through hardships.
Building influence, forging friendships, spreading ideas, uniting hearts and minds, and steadily developing—then a devastating blow struck, targeted and suppressed, even incurring rejection from the world's will, forcing the introduction of external aid.
"When developing dungeon worlds, the various lineages of the Immortal Alliance generally adhere to the principle of inclusiveness and integration. If a world is not suitable for integration into the Immortal Alliance system, we simply establish one faction. As for the Origin River World, we felt that integration was possible back then, which is why we made the attempt. However, we didn't expect the Origin River Will to be so uncooperative."
The Star Lord Jingliu, standing nearby, said with some dissatisfaction, "Why does a mere river spirit meddle in so many things? We possess the [Gate of All Heavens], destined to unify the civilizations of humanity across all realms; this is humanity's destiny!"
"That river spirit dared to incite conflict among us humans, disrupt the smooth progress of racial integration, and cause an unnecessary war. It deserves to die!"
The others also showed their agreement.
Ye Yang knew that this was an ideology that had gradually formed within the Star Alliance during the Age of Heavens.
Just like in the pioneering era, human civilization divided the stars of the Milky Way on the star map, and countless pioneers, carrying pioneering orders, scattered like dandelions.
Everyone has already tacitly accepted that all worlds inhabited by humans are part of this civilization.
After the meeting, Ye Yang, as "Qingfeng," had already met the powerful members of the Immortal Alliance who were fighting in the Yuanhe World.
-
Afterwards, he and the True Lord of Extreme Power dived into the depths of the Eye of the Source River below, where the True Lord of Extreme Power suppressed and imprisoned the Great River Spirit.
One billion kilometers deep within the Eye of the Source River lies the bottom of the endless, mysterious source of all rivers in the world, and the central hub and origin of the entire Source River world.
The pressure here can easily crush a true immortal, and the powerful binding force can make it difficult for a star lord to move an inch. Over time, the main battle body will definitely be worn down to death.
However, for Ye Yang, who had already mastered the power of the bursting of Tai Su matter, it was nothing.
His will continued to distort the laws of the world around him, forming a field within his body whose laws were completely different from those of the Source River World.
Within this domain, the vast amount of primordial matter, constrained by the stacking of spacetime, provides Ye Yang's will and the Great Dao with a continuous source of power to distort the external world.
"This is it. Come on, make your move! Let me see your understanding of refining the Primordial Essence." True Monarch Jili stopped and said to Ye Yang.
"Here?" Ye Yang was taken aback. "Isn't this the central origin of the Source River World? Won't making a move here shake the foundation of the world?"
"Haha—" True Lord Jili laughed, "No need to worry, the water pressure here is extremely high, and it's incredibly close to the Heavenly One Primordial Water Sea below," making its density extremely high.
"If we spar here, the power will be quickly dissipated and absorbed. Unless we go all out, it's possible to cause some damage."
"An eighth-level world has a strong self-regulating ability. I've been fighting that great river spirit for so long, but I haven't found a way to truly control or severely damage it. At most, I can only suppress its will to prevent it from spreading and affecting other parts of the world."
Since True Lord Jili had said so, Ye Yang no longer hesitated, his eyes becoming eager to try: "Then, Ancestor, I won't be polite."
Refining Tai Su caused Ye Yang's physical strength to increase dramatically. Tai Su itself represents the ultimate form of matter, and after being refined, it also made Ye Yang's Great Dao more powerful in its interference and erosion of all matter!
Countless fine scale-like patterns began to appear on Ye Yang's body. The ninth-order secret pattern system of the spacetime fusion law, in terms of law realm alone, was already equivalent to the complete time law or space law of the world of "Swallowing the Starry Sky".
However, this is only a part of the foundation of Ye Yang's Great Dao. Although it accounts for more than 90% of the important part, it also contains insights into [matter] and [true spirit].
Although Ye Yang has not yet been able to integrate all the laws he has comprehended into one without distinction, under the unification of true meaning, he can easily combine and use different laws.
Even though the time is short and no top-level or ultimate secret techniques have been created, its power is still not to be underestimated!
As he reached out, space and time seemed to deform like jelly, as if most of the world was pressing down on Ye Yang's palm, allowing him to bring down the power of most of the world with a thunderous crash.
However, the True Lord of Extreme Power merely tilted his body slightly and pushed with his right hand. A mysterious and immense force was generated in his simple and unadorned manner, directly slapping aside the enormous power that Ye Yang had gathered in his palm.
brush!
The power swept across, instantly obliterating tens of thousands of kilometers of the endless, heavy river before it completely receded.
"Hmm?" Ye Yang frowned.
His powerful strike was completely thrown off course by the seemingly gentle push from the True Lord of Strength, and he couldn't even correct it!
He could sense some of the profound mystery in that push; the True Lord of Extreme Power had risen to the level of "Dao" in his use of power.
The True Lord of Extreme Strength cultivates the Way of [Strength].
However, the main world does not have a pure law of "force," so this path must take the parts of the concept of "force" from countless law systems in the myriad worlds, integrate them into one, and fuse them into one's own Great Dao.
"Yes, in terms of brute force, I am absolutely no match for the Grandmaster of Extreme Strength; that's his area of expertise."
Ye Yang smiled, also inspired by the True Lord of Extreme Power, and thus changed his moves.
Spacetime is the stage for the movement of all things. Power is not its strongest point; its strength lies in the mechanisms related to the existence and movement of things.
"A tear in spacetime!"
With the Great Dao Domain combined with the characteristics of Tai Su, Ye Yang traced a beautiful trajectory with his fingertips, dividing everything before him into two, forming an unpleasant boundary of space and time.
Where space and time cannot extend, nothing can reach or connect.
As for the cracks that appeared after spacetime split open—those naturally don't exist.
The "gap" also occupies a spatial scale, but it can only possess a spatial scale within spacetime; outside of spacetime, there is no scale whatsoever. Outside of spacetime, there are places that cannot be reached or connected.
Jili Zhenjun grinned, his body trembled, and a set of purple-gold armor appeared on his body. He also held a silver-white halberd in his hand and swung it fiercely!
The distance in space, the flow of water—all obstacles were instantly broken through, and the battle halberd struck Ye Yang directly.
Forget about time and space boundaries!
boom!
"Ugh—hiss!"
Ye Yang, whose body had been blasted apart by the explosion of tens of tons of primordial matter, quickly clutched his slightly damaged chest, looking utterly astonished: "This isn't right, is it?"
"You've realized something, but not entirely."
The True Lord of Extreme Power said with a smile, "This is not the main world. The underlying laws of this world are not so unbreakable or stable."
"With our level of understanding of the Great Dao, we can manipulate the laws of this world within a certain range. Do you understand?"
Compared to the rest of the world, and compared to the objective reality here, we are more real!
"At least that's true in this world."
"ah?!"
Ye Yang suddenly realized that, after being enlightened by the True Lord of Extreme Power, he had been taking the so-called "laws of the world" too seriously all along.
This is not Ye Yang's fault. After all, from the very beginning of cultivation, cultivators must learn from heaven and earth and comprehend nature.
The deeper one's understanding of the laws of the world, the greater the power one gains.
But this is only the truth when it is extremely weak—
Within the current logical framework, there is no complete system, whether it is mathematics or the laws of the world.
The countless world law systems of the myriad realms can be learned from and referenced, but they cannot be regarded as immutable truths.
The immortal path of all heavens cultivates one's own path, not the heavenly path of a particular world. After reaching a certain level, the cultivator's path can also transcend the weak heavenly path, and the difference between acceptance and rejection is merely a matter of a thought.
Right now, in this Source River World, Ye Yang's "Dao" is not entirely superior, but at least on par with it!
Beside Ye Yang, whose power surpasses that of this world, it is guided by his "Dao".
Therefore, after breaking free from the constraints of the world's laws, the strong can gain certain "privileges" of freedom.
The rule is "based on its own great path, freely deriving undefined rules".
Just like Ye Yang just drew a time-space boundary, tearing apart and separating all things, making the two worlds unreachable and unconnectable, it is a rule derived from his understanding of the ninth-order scale armor secret pattern.
However, this will not work at all in the Devouring World scenario; it is a misuse!
However, in this place where there are no stronger world laws to suppress it, it can easily be generated and unleashed.
"No wonder, those were rules derived from the ancestral master's Dao, not the laws of a certain world!"
No wonder it violates the commonalities of the laws governing spacetime that I summarized.
"The Dao Evolution Diagram — A system of laws derived from the results of high-level Dao evolution can support a small world."
"In the Source River World, our level of combat doesn't require us to pay too much attention to the local world laws. It's like playing a game of Dao Evolution Diagram, where each of us develops a system and then clashes with it. One is about development, and the other is about reversal."
Ye Yang realized that he was still too deeply influenced by the cultivation method of devouring worlds.
Despite years of education from the Immortal Alliance guiding him in this direction, he still became hopelessly addicted to comprehending the laws.
Even if one travels through countless worlds, it is mostly just about learning from the heavens and earth and seeking so-called commonalities.
Little did they know that the so-called commonality of countless world law systems actually did not exist.
The instance world is created through the resonance of individual humans, influenced by their temperament, will, and worldview.
The so-called "commonality" is merely a phenomenon influenced by human thinking and common sense, and is a manifestation of probability theory.
The probability of a coin toss being heads or tails is 50% each, not because of some rule of external disturbances, but simply because of the coin's shape, mass distribution, and other properties.
"Tsk, don't overthink it. All insights ultimately need to be grounded in reality. If you indulge in this illusion of transcending the rules and arbitrarily shaping them, you'll only fall into meaningless daydreams."
"Imperial True Lord said quickly."
"Master, I was just surprised to realize a field I had previously overlooked. This may open up more avenues for my thinking and make it more active, but I will not stray from my Dao heart," Ye Yang said earnestly, regaining his composure.
"Hmm, I can roughly tell that your instance world seems to be quite extraordinary and has a significant impact on you."
The True Lord of Extreme Strength nodded.
Then he commented, "Also, your immortal body's structure is too rough. I didn't even use any force just now, so how did it release so much primordial matter?"
"I've been here. Try my Eighteen Extreme Techniques and see if there are any weaknesses left in your immortal body!"
Faced with the renewed attack from the True Lord of Extreme Power, Ye Yang's expression changed, and he quickly made a move to defend himself.
Close combat, illusions—he used every method imaginable, yet he was no match for them.
Half a day later, Ye Yang, with a grim expression, and Jili Zhenjun flew out from the Eye of the Source River.
Ye Yang was thoroughly humiliated by the True Lord of Extreme Power, and was beaten so badly that 0.0011 units of primordial matter were released, leaving him slightly crippled.
"Ahem, you haven't mastered the power yet, nor have you refined your own Xuanzhen Dao Treasure," he said, "you're a complete beginner, so it's normal that you've been beaten like this." Seemingly feeling that Ye Yang had been tortured too badly, True Monarch Jili offered this consolation.
Road.
"No, it's because I was just following the established procedures in the main world and didn't really put my mind to the Celestial Immortal Dao system," Ye Yang said, shaking his head.
Ye Yang has always felt that development within the dungeon is more important. He can obtain cultivation insights and resources from the dungeon world and use them in the main world. Therefore, he has focused his main efforts on devouring the world.
Because the Devouring World's level was high enough, it provided Ye Yang with tremendous help in his development in the main world, which is why he hadn't realized the irrationality of it all along.
Perhaps they realized it, but didn't pay attention.
"Thank you so much for your guidance, Master. I have not only become familiar with the battle techniques of the Tai Su Battle Body, but also with the battle techniques for suppressing the laws of the world," Ye Yang said sincerely.
"Do you need to go back and replenish your primordial essence?" asked True Lord Jili.
"No need. Although 0.0027 units is not my limit, it is still a lot. It is enough to suppress those Origin Emperors in the Origin River World."
Ye Yang already had a good understanding of the cultivation system of the Origin River World, and knew the essence and power limit of the Origin Emperor realm.
Under the guidance of the True Lord of Extreme Power, his mastery and development of his own power has reached a new level.
There was no problem in leading the powerful members of the Immortal Alliance to wipe out the remaining powerful figures in the Source River World.
"You are not familiar with the Great River Spirit, so I will continue to suppress it. I will leave the task of conquering the remaining powerful resistance forces in the Jianzu River and Tingzu River basins to you," said True Lord Jili.
Conquering those powerful figures in the Source River World might be a bit troublesome for Ye Yang, who possesses the True Monarch Dao Realm, but it wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, it would also be an opportunity to practice controlling his power.
