Chapter 482 Immortal Realm Consciousness

The Immortal Realm Source Land is located in the deepest part of the Immortal Realm, where the rules and Dao are manifested as if they were tangible.

Comprehending the rules here is much easier than outside.

It is just like an "open-book test".

Ever since Lin Yuan visited the Demon Abyss Ancestor, the Immortal Path Ancestor has been waiting for Lin Yuan to come over.

For the Immortal Path Ancestor, since he could not pose the slightest threat to Lin Yuan, making friends with him was definitely the priority.

Having one more Fellow Daoist is much better than having one more enemy.

Therefore, the Immortal Path Ancestor intended to thoroughly introduce the many wonderful uses of the Source Land after Lin Yuan arrived.

This was also the purpose of the Immortal Path Ancestor waiting for Lin Yuan.

However, what the Immortal Path Ancestor did not expect was that Lin Yuan had already fallen into an "Epiphany" state before even entering the Immortal Realm Source Land?

You must know that the higher the Realm, the harder it is to trigger an Epiphany.

Back then, after stepping into the Twelfth Order, the Immortal Path Ancestor entered the Immortal Realm Source Land, cultivated bitterly for hundreds of billions of years, and finally relied on the environment of the Source Land

to barely welcome an "Epiphany".

The Aptitude of the Immortal Path Ancestor was undoubtedly the strongest since the birth of the Immortal Realm; he created the Immortal cultivation system from scratch and ultimately stepped into the Twelfth Order.

In a way, it was the Immortal Realm that restricted the Immortal Path Ancestor. If he had been in the Main Universe, his upper limit would probably be even higher.

"Could it be that the environment outside the Source Land makes an 'Epiphany' easier?"

An absurd thought flashed through the mind of the Immortal Path Ancestor.

But it was instantly cast aside; the cultivation environment outside the Source Land was definitely inferior to the inside.

The fact that Lin Yuan could fall into an "Epiphany" before entering the Source Land could only show that the accumulation of this Martial Dao Ancestor was far too profound.

It far exceeded the accumulation from his own bitter cultivation in the Source Land for hundreds of billions of years back then, which was why he could be slightly stimulated by the Source Land and thus usher in an Epiphany state.

"Just in time."

The Immortal Path Ancestor nodded slightly, his figure appearing outside the Source Land, gazing afar at Lin Yuan, intending to act as a Protector for a period during his Epiphany.

The Immortal Path Ancestor did not take advantage of Lin Yuan's Epiphany to do anything. Firstly, this was an Epiphany, not a deep slumber.

Once danger was encountered, he would instinctively break away from the Epiphany state.

Secondly, the Lin Yuan seen by the Immortal Path Ancestor was merely an Incarnation.

Furthermore, even with an Incarnation combined with the Epiphany state, the Immortal Path Ancestor could not lock onto Lin Yuan's specific positional coordinates at this moment.

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, over half a year passed.

"I see."

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking spirited and radiant.

This Epiphany was of great help to Lin Yuan, allowing him to comprehend hundreds of Pillar-level fusion rules and raise them all to the Seventh Realm.

Having the comprehension of hundreds of Pillar-level fusion rules at the Seventh Realm enhanced Lin Yuan's strength, but it could not be considered a qualitative leap.

However, through these hundreds of Pillar-level fusion rules at the Seventh Realm, Lin Yuan had already seen the direction of the Chaos Rules.

This was crucial to Lin Yuan. No matter what evolutionary path or rule comprehension it was, direction was very important. If the direction was correct, as long as he persisted, there would eventually be a day of success.

But if the direction was wrong, or if he didn't know where the direction was, it would be difficult.

"Chaos Rules."

Lin Yuan let out a soft breath. At this moment, within his Internal World, the powers of numerous Fusion rules intertwined and entangled, Returning to the Origin and Source, faintly forming the embryonic form of an "egg".

"Continuing to comprehend more Fusion rules, there is hope to nurture the true Chaos Rules."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. Until this moment, he finally realized the slight elaborations and explanations left behind by Your Majesty Xuan Huang and the Moyu Tower Master regarding the Chaos Rules.

Once the foundation was sufficient, the Chaos Rules would naturally be mastered.

Because—

The Chaos Rules are not comprehended.

They are nurtured.

As for the condition threshold for nurturing, it is the comprehension of myriads of rules.

"Immortal Path Ancestor." Lin Yuan's gaze looked into the distance, at the withered old man in daoist robes.

During the Epiphany, Lin Yuan had been paying attention to the aura of the Immortal Path Ancestor.

If the Immortal Path Ancestor dared to take any threatening actions during Lin Yuan's Epiphany,

Lin Yuan's worst plan was to directly disperse this Incarnation.

Dispersing the Incarnation did not mean the Epiphany was suspended.

Fortunately, the Immortal Path Ancestor did not make any moves, and even to put Lin Yuan at ease, he did not even come close.

"Martial Dao Ancestor."

Seeing that Lin Yuan's Epiphany had ended, the Immortal Path Ancestor immediately took a step forward and appeared not far away.

"I originally thought that you would only usher in an Epiphany after cultivating in the Source Land for a long time, but I didn't expect you to have an Epiphany before even entering."

The Immortal Path Ancestor was quite emotional.

"Good luck," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Luck?" The Immortal Path Ancestor raised an eyebrow.

At their level, the so-called Epiphany had nothing to do with luck.

The usual accumulation was quantitative change, while an Epiphany was qualitative change. However, without the preceding quantitative change, there naturally wouldn't be a qualitative change like an Epiphany.

"Given the foundation of the Martial Dao Ancestor, when do you plan to impact the Ancestor Realm?" The Immortal Path Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan and asked tentatively.

He could see that Lin Yuan was still at the Jade Immortal level. Even if Lin Yuan's essence of life was powerful to a breathtaking degree, he was still a Jade Immortal.

Although the Immortal Path Ancestor had never witnessed such a strong Jade Immortal, since he was a Jade Immortal, he had to consider impacting the Ancestor Realm.

The Ancestor Realm, which was also the Dao Ancestor Realm, was also called the Ancestral Immortal Realm.

"I plan to accumulate a bit longer," Lin Yuan said.

Even if he intended to make the Ultimate leap, he would definitely choose to do it in the Main Universe, because it would bear the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin once again.

And this Immortal Realm did not have that.

As a Twelve-Order Ultimate, the Realm and strength of the Immortal Path Ancestor were a large chunk weaker than the Twelve-Order Ultimates of the Main Universe. Aside from having no opponents of the same level, it was also related to not enduring the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin when stepping into the Twelfth Order.

The rules might not be the same in different worlds, let alone that the Main Universe and the Immortal Realm were not in the same dimension.

The fact that the Immortal Path Ancestor had not endured the infusion of the Chaotic Void Origin led him to spend hundreds of billions of years after stepping into the Twelfth Order to stabilize at the Dao Realm.

"That's true. Impacting the Ancestor Realm is extremely perilous; I almost perished back then too." The Immortal Path Ancestor nodded slightly.

No matter which world or dimension it was, impacting the Twelfth Order required breaking free from the shackles of the River of Time. This required confronting the River of Time, which naturally meant enduring the backlash from the River of Time.

"But with your foundation as the Martial Dao Ancestor, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" the Immortal Path Ancestor said, shaking his head.

Although when the Immortal Path Ancestor originally impacted the Ancestor Realm, facing the backlash from the River of Time was like being a solitary boat in a vast ocean,

the Immortal Path Ancestor also knew that under such circumstances, what was being tested was the mastery of time and space.

The higher the mastery of time and space, the longer the impact duration could be extended, and the more time and opportunities there would be to step into that step.

In terms of the mastery of time and space, even the Immortal Path Ancestor himself was inferior to Lin Yuan.

Therefore, the Immortal Path Ancestor believed that Lin Yuan shouldn't have any problems stepping out that step.

"Come, let me introduce you to the Source Land."

The Immortal Path Ancestor brought Lin Yuan into the Immortal Realm Source Land.

This was a boundless space where a vast amount of the purest Origin Power rippled. Lin Yuan clearly saw that many Origin Power converged to form individual stones.

Which were the priceless "Immortal Sources" of the outside world.

Lin Yuan now also realized how huge the gap was between the environment of the Immortal Realm Source Land replicated by Immortal Sources and the environment of the true Immortal Realm Source Land.

Over the past few centuries, Lin Yuan had obtained quite a number of Immortal Sources through transactions, but just now, merely approaching the Immortal Realm Source Land, the impact brought to Lin Yuan by the fluctuations of various rules far exceeded the "environment" replicated by the Immortal Sources.

"This is simply wonderful."

Lin Yuan looked at every corner of the Source Land; wherever his gaze reached, various rules were truly manifested.

These rules were not only manifested, but also constantly entwined and intertwined, which was of immense help to any Experts comprehending the rules.

Rules were not dead, but alive. Comprehending a single rule alone was definitely inferior to comprehending multiple rules simultaneously.

The collisions between the comprehensions of multiple rules would ultimately bring improvements far exceeding a single rule.

For a moment.

Lin Yuan's mind once again fell into a large amount of spiritual enlightenment, but with the adaptation from the previous Epiphany outside the Source Land, Lin Yuan did not immediately fall into an Epiphany state this time.

"The Source Land is vast and boundless. That place is the residence of me and my Disciples." The Immortal Path Ancestor raised his hand slightly and pointed in a direction.

Lin Yuan looked along the direction, and a continent was quietly suspended there. This continent was obviously carved out by the Immortal Path Ancestor, otherwise there shouldn't be such an abrupt "creation" within the Source Land.

"Martial Dao Ancestor, you can casually choose a place to Cultivate and comprehend, or you can be like me, open up a continent, and bring your Disciples in to comprehend together."

The Immortal Path Ancestor smiled slightly.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan nodded.

"Also, Martial Dao Ancestor, you can go to the vast majority of places within the Source Land, but there is only one place that you must still approach with caution—that is the location where the Immortal Realm Consciousness resides."

The Immortal Path Ancestor looked at Lin Yuan while waving his hand, revealing a vast map, which was precisely the map of the Source Land.

Almost ninety-nine percent of the areas on it were empty, and only the position at the very center was marked in red.

"Immortal Realm Consciousness?"

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

A world has consciousness; Lin Yuan had known this point long ago.

This included the even vaster Main Universe, which likewise possessed consciousness.

However, the consciousness of a world was different from human consciousness; it only had instinct and no specific emotions.

Usually, the World Consciousness would not manifest itself, but only silently maintained the operation of the world.

But if something that harmed the world occurred, the World Consciousness would intervene.

For instance, in the Main Universe, if those Twelve-Order Ultimates dared to leave the Main Universe, they would usher in the backlash of the entire Universe.

The source of the backlash here was naturally the Main Universe consciousness.

The Twelve-Order Ultimates did not know how much energy they had swallowed and spat out from the Main Universe. Once they left, for the Main Universe, it was no different from cutting off a large chunk of flesh and blood, which was naturally not allowed.

Therefore, the timing for the Twelve-Order Ultimates of the Main Universe to leave was only possible when waiting for the Main Universe to collapse and destroy, and the moment when the consciousness also fell into a slumber.

"The Immortal Realm Consciousness is very guarded against us. If we get too close, it is highly likely to draw the suppression of the entire Immortal Realm's power."

The Immortal Path Ancestor said quite helplessly.

As a Twelfth Order existence, the Immortal Path Ancestor was already equivalent to the Immortal Realm.

But being equivalent did not mean being a match; facing the power of the entire Immortal Realm, the Immortal Path Ancestor was still difficult to contend against.

Of course, it was also unrealistic for the Immortal Realm Consciousness to suppress a Twelfth Order existence for a long time; it would require a massive amount of energy, which might cause the Immortal Realm to enter its late-stage collapse prematurely.

Therefore, the Immortal Path Ancestor and the Immortal Realm Consciousness faintly reached a balance.

I don't provoke you, and you don't provoke me.

"I know."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Compared to the Immortal Path Ancestor, Lin Yuan understood World Consciousness much more.

"Then I will go back first."

"If Fellow Daoist still has any questions, you can contact me at any time."

After the Immortal Path Ancestor finished speaking, his figure disappeared. Lin Yuan clearly sensed that the aura of the Immortal Path Ancestor appeared on that carved-out continent.

"I should also start comprehending."

Lin Yuan no longer paid attention to the Immortal Path Ancestor, immediately placing all his mind and spirit on the Dao and rules manifested everywhere in the Source Land.

[Your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying. By observing the manifestation of the essence of numerous rules, your comprehension of myriads of rules has improved.]

In the blink of an eye, two hundred years passed.

Lin Yuan leisurely floated around various parts of the Source Land.

In two hundred years, the Pillar-level fusion rules comprehended by Lin Yuan numbered in the thousands and tens of thousands.

The faintly forming "egg" in the Internal World also became increasingly obvious. Various rule auras diffused and permeated, giving Lin Yuan's Internal World a taste of the Source Land.

"I can feel that at the place where the Immortal Realm Consciousness resides, the rule fluctuations there are even more obvious. No, that is no longer rule fluctuations, but the rules themselves."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and looked towards the exact central location of the Source Land.

In fact, it was not difficult to arrive at this conclusion. Why did the Immortal Path Ancestor know that approaching the Immortal Realm Consciousness carried the risk of suppression?

It was because the Immortal Path Ancestor also discovered that the place where the Immortal Realm Consciousness slumbered was the source of all rules in the Immortal Realm.

The so-called rule manifestation fluctuations in the Source Land all originated from there.

If he could enter there to comprehend the rules, the help to himself would definitely exceed being in the Source Land by a large margin.

"Although I have found the direction to comprehend the Chaos Rules, there is still a long way to go to finally nurture the Chaos Rules. If I can directly face all the rules of the Immortal Realm themselves—"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to try approaching the location where the Immortal Realm Consciousness resided.

Since the Immortal Path Ancestor had approached and even contacted it before and was still fine now, there was no reason anything would happen to Lin Yuan.

Speaking of self-preservation ability, Lin Yuan was even above the Immortal Path Ancestor.

Furthermore, the Lin Yuan currently located in the Source Land was merely an Incarnation. Even if he was truly suppressed by the Immortal Realm Consciousness, it would not have any impact; at worst, he would just split out another Incarnation to come in.

Before long.

Lin Yuan approached the vicinity of the Immortal Realm Consciousness.

Buzz! ! !

Merely approaching, a terrifying conscious pressure was transmitted, and the entire Source Land was vibrating.

"Such a big reaction?"

Lin Yuan was slightly surprised, but quickly understood.

Where the Immortal Realm Consciousness in the Source Land was located was equivalent to Lin Yuan's spiritual world.

It was the most fundamental existence. When an external force approached, especially a powerful external force approaching, it would definitely arouse the highest vigilance of the Immortal Realm Consciousness.

Rumble.

Lin Yuan ignored the warning of the Immortal Realm Consciousness and continued to approach.

Very quickly, the Immortal Realm Consciousness mobilized the power of the entire Source Land, majestically crushing towards Lin Yuan.
