“Is this the treasure?”
Lin Yuan observed carefully.
Within the dim glow, a palm-sized cauldron could be vaguely seen.
He learned from the Tomb Spirit that Xuanhuang had lastly obtained a treasure from the dimensional gap, which led to the decision to advance to the Thirteen Tier early.
At that time, Lin Yuan thought this treasure might have a value close to the Thirteen Tier.
But just now, Xuanhuang implied that he was worried about delaying too long, fearing the treasure’s information might leak, attracting the attention of Thirteen Tier temporal beings.
A treasure merely close to the Thirteen Tier level wouldn’t attract the attention of temporal beings.
To attract the attention of temporal beings, only…
“That’s right, this treasure is a Thirteen Tier weapon,” said the majestic and tall man.
“A Thirteen Tier weapon?”
Lin Yuan took a deep breath. The small cauldron in Xuanhuang’s hands, within the dim light, immediately seemed unfathomable.
“That dimensional gap… should be the battlefield of two Thirteen Tier combatants, and this treasure is likely the remnant of one of them. I can sense the owner of the treasure is still alive; it’s just that he forgot to retrieve it,” Xuanhuang said in a deep voice.
It’s like when Xuanhuang fights with a strong being of the same level, leaving behind an ordinary Great Saint level treasure and not retrieving it simply because it didn’t come to mind.
Thirteen Tier beings are also known as temporal beings, and their concept of time is different from that of the Twelfth Tier.
For example, for the Twelfth Tier, billions of Cosmic Eras might pass, but for Thirteen Tier temporal beings, it might only equate to a few breaths.
Of course, the Thirteen Tier being might have forgotten about this weapon, but if this weapon actively calls the Thirteen Tier being, reminding them, it is very likely they would come to reclaim it.
This is also the reason Xuanhuang immediately advanced to the Thirteen Tier, using the power of time loops to suppress this treasure.
Only in this way can the treasure be prevented from calling its master.
As for what happens when the weapon’s owner finds out afterward… if Xuanhuang transcends to the Thirteen Tier, it naturally wouldn’t be a big deal. If he doesn’t, this treasure, deeply nestled in time loops, would require the Thirteen Tier temporal life to break the time loop to retrieve it, helping Xuanhuang to break free.
Even for a Thirteen Tier temporal life, breaking a time loop comes at a significant cost.
Thus, Xuanhuang’s act of suppressing this Thirteen Tier weapon is basically without any hidden dangers.
“Bringing this treasure into the time loop can slightly break the constraints within, raising your starting point a little,” Xuanhuang said.
“Slightly break the constraints within the time loop?” Lin Yuan’s eyes widened in amazement, no wonder Xuanhuang was determined to advance to the Thirteen Tier early.
Besides, Xuanhuang could easily break free from the time loop, likely also using the power of this treasure.
“For you,”
Xuanhuang looked at Lin Yuan and gently tossed the dimly glowing object in his hand.
Lin Yuan instinctively reached out, and the small cauldron covered in dim light fell into his hands.
“Very light…”
Lin Yuan felt as if it had no weight, as if he was holding a ball of air.
“Now, this treasure has been reinforced and sealed by me with the power of time loops for over 30 million Cosmic Eras. Even if it leaves the time loop world, the time power of the external seal can last for a hundred Cosmic Eras.”
Xuanhuang looked at Lin Yuan: “In other words, within a hundred Cosmic Eras, this treasure won’t actively call its master. Once a hundred Cosmic Eras pass, there will be no guarantee any longer.”
“At that time, if you have reached the peak of the Chaos Realm, try your best to advance to the Thirteen Tier. If you haven’t reached the peak of the Chaos Realm yet…”
Xuanhuang thought for a moment, “But with your talent and potential, reaching the peak of the Chaos Realm within a hundred Cosmic Eras should be hopeful.”
“I will try my best.”
Lin Yuan nodded solemnly.
“Also, if you encounter danger in the future and are about to completely perish, or if this treasure is about to be taken, you may choose to directly activate this treasure,” Xuanhuang said.
“This treasure is a Thirteen Tier weapon. With your power, even if you give it your all, you won’t unleash much of its might. But even a sliver of its power is enough to easily obliterate any consummate Chaos Realm.”
Xuanhuang said, “But this will undoubtedly attract the attention of the treasure’s owner, and in the end, the treasure will most likely be reclaimed.”
“I understand.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
So, unless absolutely necessary, Xuanhuang doesn’t recommend Lin Yuan do this.
Of course, if it truly comes to a life-or-death situation, where not activating the treasure would also result in it being taken by other powerful beings, Lin Yuan would naturally choose to activate it without hesitation.
“Moreover, you can comprehend this treasure as well. It is far more useful than comprehending the time bloodline of those half-baked wonder lives.”
Xuanhuang smiled slightly.
Lin Yuan nodded.
A Thirteen Tier weapon, crafted personally by a Thirteen Tier being, contains profound temporal mysteries that far surpass the bloodlines of those half-baked wonder lives.
“Alright.”
“Do you have any other questions now?”
Xuanhuang looked at Lin Yuan and smiled.
“No more.”
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Xuanhuang had explained everything clearly enough.
Through this Invincible Great Saint’s experiences, Lin Yuan gained a deeper understanding of time loops.
The so-called time loop not only presents challenges never encountered before, but also confronts one’s deepest weaknesses and obsessions.
“This Xuanhuang Universe… was created by me. If I were to completely perish, it would perish with me, unable to be left for you.”
Xuanhuang made a gesture with his right hand, and numerous beams of light flashed within the universe as various precious treasures gathered into Xuanhuang’s hand, “But these wonders and treasures, I’ve gathered for you.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
Lin Yuan said earnestly.
Due to the sudden arrival of Great Saint Hunxiao and Jade Qilin Great Saint, the numerous avatars Lin Yuan sent out hadn’t yet scavenged the universe clean before being forced to stop and return.
Now, with Xuanhuang taking action, Lin Yuan was spared a lot of time.
“No need to thank me. After all, you are my heir. It’s better than leaving them to outsiders.”
Xuanhuang smiled slightly, then stood up, “Since you have no more questions, I should go out and take a look.”
“Go out and take a look?”
Lin Yuan was slightly surprised.
“Let’s visit an old friend and prepare something more for you in the process.”
The Xuanhuang took a step forward and vanished in front of Lin Yuan.
“Old friend?”
Lin Yuan’s expression was serious. Anyone whom the Xuanhuang addressed as an old friend must be an ancient Great Saint, having lived through at least thirty million Cosmic Eras.
…
Outside the Xuanhuang Universe.
A towering and majestic man reappeared.
Rumbling.
The entire Chaos Void suddenly roared, the rules of the great dao retreated, and time and space began to roll back. The towering and majestic man took another step and disappeared once more.
…
Sea of Life.
This place is a mysterious location within the Chaos Void, and even an unmatched Great Saint would find it difficult to enter forcibly, on par with places like the Nine Heavens Thunder Pond and the Ten Thousand Tribulations Origin Mountain.
Splash.
The Sea of Life churned with waves, and an abundance of vigorous life auras spread, occasionally accompanied by the sight of falling Life Divine Stones.
At this moment.
The time and space of this mysterious location were torn apart, and a towering and majestic man stepped inside.
In an instant.
The entire Sea of Life surged with towering waves, and an invisible, terrifying pressure pressed down on the towering and majestic man.
Yet all the pressure dissipated and diluted the moment it touched the towering and majestic man.
“Xuanhuang, what brings you here?”
A cold voice emanated from the depths of the Sea of Life.
“Before I perish, I’d like to ask you for a Life Origin Stone,” the towering and majestic man said with a smile.
“A Life Origin Stone? You already stole one back then, and now you want another?” The voice from the depths of the Sea of Life spoke with a hint of anger.
Over thirty million Cosmic Eras ago, the Xuanhuang came here specifically to steal a Life Origin Stone to recreate the Sea of Life and to craft the Life Origin Star for the Xuanhuang Universe.
This act caused the Sea of Life not to lose even a single Life Divine Stone for millions of Cosmic Eras thereafter.
The Life Origin Stone is countless times more precious than a Life Divine Stone, being the foundation formed over countless Cosmic Eras by the Sea of Life.
“Yes, I still want it.”
The towering and majestic man nodded, “Will you give it or not?”
With these words.
The depths of the Sea of Life fell silent immediately.
“You know it; I won’t live much longer…” the towering and majestic man said.
“Leave.”
The Sea of Life surged, and a fist-sized Crystal Stone shot out from the depths.
“Hahaha.”
The towering and majestic man laughed heartily, turning to leave the Sea of Life.
…
In front of an ancient mine.
The towering and majestic man appeared out of thin air.
“Before I die, can you send me some crystals?” The towering and majestic man spoke, his voice resounding throughout the ancient mine.
“Xuanhuang, you’ve gone too far; crystals are incredibly precious…” a cold voice similarly rang out from the depths of the mine.
“In that case, before I die, let’s see if I can topple your mine,” the towering and majestic man said. “I’ve wanted to do this for a very long time.”
A moment later.
From the depths of the ancient mine, a beam of crystal light shot out.
The towering and majestic man caught the crystal light and then turned to leave.
…
On this day.
The Xuanhuang Great Saint from over thirty million Cosmic Eras ago ventured into many of the mysterious places within the Chaos Void, inciting the fury of the special existences in these mysterious places.
One by one, unmatched Great Saints gazed from afar. The existence of these ancient mysterious places had persisted for too long, existing alongside unique entities like the Eye of Myriad Laws. Even the invincible Great Saints in history would not have pressed too hard.
Eventually, the aura of the Xuanhuang Great Saint disappeared in the Chaos Void. No one knew where this extraordinary figure went, and his presence vanished completely, with no trace of cause and effect to be sensed.
…
In a remote corner of the Chaos Void.
Chaos Qi was thin here, a desolate void.
Outside a naturally formed universe.
A towering, majestic figure appeared silently, none other than the Xuanhuang.
The Xuanhuang quietly observed the universe not far away, his gaze penetrating into the universe itself, settling on a secret realm partially fused with the universe’s Origin Source.
This secret realm resembled the Xuanhuang Secret Realm but was even more completely fused with the universe’s Origin Source, virtually impossible to enter.
The secret realm was empty.
There were no treasures of the kind only seen once in a thousand hundred Cosmic Eras.
Nor were there rare treasures for which many Great Saints would risk their lives in battle.
Let alone any weapons or arms at the level of a Great Saint.
Only in the center of the secret realm stood a solitary grave, surrounded by some pink peach blossoms in bloom.
“Senior Sister.”
From across the universe, the Xuanhuang gazed at that grave, and for once, a rare gentleness appeared on his face as he softly murmured:
“I can finally rest with you forever.”
Eventually, the figure of the Xuanhuang Great Saint became blurred and illusory, and as Chaos Qi drifted by, he turned into a rain of light, merging into the far-off universe.
